I am also reading the Sinestro Wars, a Green Lantern series.  That one is pretty good.

What else?

Crisis on Infinite Earths - long, sometimes did not make sense, and required so much minute character knowledge to make sense;

Identify Crisis and Omac Project - classics;

Infinite Crisis - so so, with a weak ending (rouge superman, anyone?) although the end of that one is priceless;

Superman, Red Son - perhaps the best thing I have ever read

Kingdom Come - very good, but the art is better than the quality of the narrative.

 

In sum, DC has some good stuff going for it.  Marvel is better in a way that I can’t quite describe, however.
