I would have to say Batman Hush as my favorite.

The art was just amazing and the story kept you guessing til the end.

Check it out if you can.

I didn't put that first because the art wasnt as clean and amazing as Hush. I love the DKR story, but Frank Miller's art looks like a sketch to me. Batman looks awesome but everything else is average.

honestly, hush was a bit convoluted, too many bad guys and I knew who Hush was from the beginning. The bit with Harvey Dent was a bit weak too.

Ok, my first pick without a doubt, is The Sandman by Neil Gaiman!! Sleep

Second would prolly be, Arkham Asylum: Living Hell by Dan Slott. The Joker

Third (but a close second) would be, the Adolf series by Osamu Tezuka. Twisted Evil

And lastly (due to the upcoming season) I would have to pick A Vampire's Christmas by Joseph Michael Linsner! rendeer
