I know Graduation day kinda started it all and I'm currently downloading all these via torrent.

Which storylines do you mean? I'm assuming you mean Teen Titans and Young Justice.

Nope. Your best bet is going through torrents. Or, y'know, go to an actual comic shop and buying the issues.

Well, just going back and reading the old Titans comics would be a help (they've got whole volumes of it in paperback and whatnot)

1)Kingdom Come- Waid and Ross's masterpiece, and IMO the greatest superhero story since Action #1.
2) Superman: Birthright- The new version of the Superman origin. It's badass.
3) Batman: The Long Halloween- A retelling of the origin of Two-Face. The story is great (I love Jeph Loeb on Batman) and Tim Sale's artwork is fantastic.
4) Hellboy: Strange Places- So far the last Hellboy story, though I'm sure there'll be more to come. Mignola's artwork is outstanding, and discovering the secret history of the world is very very cool.
5) Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?- A fantastic piece by Alan Moore which shows the last days of the Silver Age Superman. I know most people consider Silver Age to be incredibly campy, and it is for the most part, but when done right, some of the stories (particularly this one) are absolutely amazing.
Honorable Mention: Mark Waid's
Golden Age/Silver Age novels, Superman: Red Son, Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn, Invincible, Alan Moore's run on
Supreme and pretty much anything he did with Batman back in the day (Killing Joke, Mortal Clay, etc).

Watchmen and Sandman are both spectacular, though I've always found Frank Miller to be incredibly overrated. I especially loathe his Batman, since all he does with it is turn Gotham into Basin City and turn Batman into Marv (this is especially obvious in All-Star Batman and Robin) But then again, DKR has a huge fanbase (mostly people who got a kick out of watching him wail on Superman- and
don't get me started on that), so it's all a matter of taste, I suppose.
