One of the better DC Comics I've read is "Resurrection Man". If you don't know the basis, here it is: a man is infused with some kind of technology which allows him to revive after dying. The thing is, every time he revives, he gets a new superpower. It was pretty good, and not nearly as bad as I made it sound.

As for Aquaman... go read the first few issues of his nineties revival. He kicked so much ass. Hell, he even took out Superboy. Of course, I hate that little asshole, so I might be the only proud of that fact.

Other good stuff was "Black Condor" (Native American enviromentalist with wings protects his forest, better than I make it sound) and "Major Bummer" (Slacker gets superpowers and attempt to continue on with life).

I also think that "Superman" is quite overrated. As for Batman, I have this thing on my site with my extremely biased view on him.

EDIT: As for the desconstructionist attitude, it bugs me too. Marvel has kind of the right idea (Keeping the old while also reinventing with their "Ultimate" universe), but they need to stick with it.
