All of these stories where magnificent each of them had something important to say and they were all beautifully written and gorgeously designed. If I had to decide what my favorite stories were I would choose  Zatanna: Sleight of Hand first because she has does something that her father couldn’t and that signifies her growth but not only hers but it was proof that other could surpass their parents someday.

Second would be Catwoman: Pedigree. Just seeing Damian working together with Selina just put a smile to my face and it also gave a new dynamic to Damian that I really loved. Selina’s and Damian chemistry was on point and we need more of that.

Third would be Wonder Woman: The Secret of Greek Fire. This story just shows how determined Diana is and actually continuously shows me why she is the best of the Trinity. In this story, she is stripped of her powers and she continues to push toward the summit with Connie and telling about her stories on never giving up.

Fourth would be  Batman: Leap of Faith. Even having people give up on Batman and not trusting him and one of Batman main problem is not trusting anyone, so seeing this story was kind of refreshing.

Fifth would be Constantine: Neon Demons. The story was okay nothing too serious, but the designs might be my favorite out of the six stories

Sixth would be John Stewart: Where There’s a Will… For me, this was the slowest of all the stories it had some cool moment like the action parts but other than that it just fell flat for me.
