What comic crossover sagas do you recommend?

Ever since I watched "The Flash" (the movie), I recalled that a lot of the plot was adapted from the "Flashpoint" series. Now I have seen "The Flashpoint Paradox" before and I want to watch it again, but at the moment I am reading the comics. I started with "The Flash: Rebirth" and "The Road to Flashpoint" and I am currently reading "The World of Flashpoint" before I read the "Flashpoint" hardcover to conclude it.

I recall hearing about "Blackest Night" and how good that series was. I also heard the same about "Brightest Day."

What other ones do you recommend? It could also be Marvel because I want to check out "House of M," which has X-Men and the Avengers.

Maybe a little 'old school' but DC's Legends crossover in the 80s was fun. That was one reason I started picking up comics again.

Batman vs TMNT.

Funny you should mention this as I just recently read the entirety of the mid-90's Image Comics crossover "Extreme Sacrifice"...

Yeah, I don't recommend it in the slightest.

I'm a 90's kid, you'll never convince me that there was a better company wide crossover ever made then DC One Million. I also recommend Batman: No Man's Land, but appearances by characters from outside Batman's sphere of influence are sparse.

I second Blackest Night and Brightest Day. They were really good.

The original Crisis On Infinite Earths was also great. As was the original Infinity Gauntlet storyline.

The Janus Directive. A clash of late 80s DC covert op organizations Suicide Squad and Checkmate, plus Peacemaker, Manhunter, Captain Atom, Firestorm, Harvey Dent, and Force of July. It's nothing that changed the face of comics or anything but it is a fun read. It's collected as a Suicide Squad tpb.

Blackest Night was fun, I didn't follow up with Brightest Day though, so can't say. Sinestro Corps War was also pretty great, if you'd like to stick around with some more Geoff Johns Green Lantern stuff from that period.

Crisis on Infinite Earths is the classic one that almost every other Crisis seem to try to borrow aspects from.

I liked Forever Evil from the New 52 era.

I also liked Dark Knights: Metal, but that one is also a little overly abstract, and relies on a whole lot of references from older works. It's not exactly the easiest read because of it.

Batman vs Predator
