52, Vol. 1 by Geoff Johns
4.0
Bold, creative, and incredibly innovative, this is a strong start to a series that doesn't end up paying off on its strong premise.
Still, it took some real ingenuity to basically ignore your flagship characters and shine the rejuvenating spotlight on some of your worthy but underloved side characters. Not only that, but they're involves in one of the more complex story arcs I've ever seen - though perhaps that's really where they stumbled.
Regardless, at least for this first volume, it's really easy to get swept up in how fresh and outside-of-the-box they were writing.
