Just off the top of my head, not too much thought put in...Plus I'm still a bit behind on my nu52 reading...

1. Wonder Woman
2. Aquaman
3. Animal Man
4. Batman & Robin
5. Lemire's Green Arrow
 
Right now:

1. Justice League
2. Batman & Robin
3. Futures End
4. Teen Titans
5. The Flash
 
Dunno that there are 5 good ones.


Batman was alright for a while, Wonder Woman has great art but I haven't read it. Superman right now is wasting great art on lame writing.


Detective Comics is really good right now. There's one.
 
1/batman and robin
2/batman eternal
3/detective comics
4/justice league
5/ grayson
 
1) Green Arrow
2) Earth 2
3) early Red Hood stuff
4) Shade
5) early Batman
 
I've only been reading the New 52 universe for about a month, so I haven't gotten into the Batman and Lantern stories too far yet, but here are the ones that I've enjoyed the most:

1) Superman Unchained
2) Justice League (especially the past 2 years)
3) Action Comics
4) Deathstroke
5) Wonder Woman (Don't care much for the art though)

I also really enjoyed Flash and Pandora, but it's tough to unseat any of those five, to me.
 
Based off of current books and creative teams

1. Wonder Woman - Anyone who complains about how long Azzarello's arc is taking or complains about the art is speaking pure blasphemy and deserve to be dragged to the depths of comic book hell. This book has been consistently amazing that perfectly blends Wonder Woman's more warrior-esque attributes while keeping her kind, gentle, forgiving, and honest personality intact. I'll be staying on for Meredith and David Finch and I think that they have a lot of intriguing aspects to bring to the table like bringing Wonder Woman more in line with the DC Universe, shorter arcs, etc, but I do think that the quality will dip to where it won't be in the top 5 anymore for me.

2. Aquaman - Jeff Parker has been the perfect replacement for Geoff Johns. Honestly it feels like Johns never left.

3. Batman - I do feel that Zero Year dragged on for way too long, but overall, Scott Snyder's run on Batman has been great. My only true complaint is how the book feels like it is in a perpetual event.

4. Superman - Geoff Johns taking over the book has been a much needed breath of fresh air for the title which previously felt like it existed solely for the sake of existing. John Romita Jr.'s art is also surprisingly working for me on this book considering that his more recent work at Marvel (Avengers, Captain America, Avengers vs. X-Men, Kick-Ass) have been duds.

5. Swamp Thing - Rotworld made Swamp Thing feel like it went off course, luckily Charles Soule has done a great job in putting the book back on track. Shame it's going to get cancelled eventually.

Honorable Mentions
- Green Arrow - Jeff Lemire has revitalized this book the same way that Johns has revitalized Superman.

- Batman & Robin - A few arcs were misses, but the characterization that Peter Tomasi has put forth in the book are top notch and Patrick Gleason is the best Bat artist currently right now, totally underrated.

- Detective Comics - I'll buy anything with Francis Manapul doing the art. ANYTHING!

The Gone but Not Forgotten
- Animal Man - Lemire's Animal Man was better than Snyder's Swamp Thing IMO

- I, Vampire - **** you people for not giving this amazing book a chance.

- Demon Knights - See above

- Batwoman - Technically this book wasn't cancelled, but Hayden Blackman, J.H. Williams III, and Amy Reeders' Batwoman was such a great visual book. Shame DC did everything in their power to drive all three of them away. And some behind the scenes stuff about this book I heard about from a friend kinda dropped my enjoyment of the book.

- Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. - See I, Vampire. Basically, because you people don't enjoy good comics, you people kinda make me not want to live on this planet anymore.
 
Hey hey I bought I, Vampire and Demon Knights until their death and bought Frankenstein for half of it's lifetime. Unfortunately most people aren't as awesome as me. They rather waste their cash on more boring ass Batman and Superman books. But what do I know I'm probably the only person on this or any other comic book forum that wishes Voodoo, OMAC and Men of War were still being published.

Anyway my top 5 right now

Aquaman
Wonder Woman
Justice League
Justice League 3000
Earth 2

2)Justice League
3)Superman
4)Wonder Woman
5)Futures End

I loved OMAC and wished that it didn't get cancelled.

It was by far the greatest thing Dan DiDio has ever written.

Have you been following Infinity Man and The Forever People?

I've been curious about it because it's from the same team as OMAC and I'm also a huge fan of Kirby's DC concepts (which is why I gave OMAC a chance in the first place). I just haven't gotten the opportunity to really skim through the book for myself and wonder if it's worth checking out.
 
Manapul and Buccallato's Flash run, the stuff after i dont like.

Lemire and sorrentinos Green arrow.
