skjamHi folks!
Not every new DC comic of the last few years was all doom and gloom; there was the Bat-Mite mini-series for example.
The basic notion was that Bat-Mite had been exiled to the Earth dimension for being too goofy and embarrassing, which had the side effect of limiting his powers somewhat. He decided to spread his "help" beyond the Batman family, to other heroes desperately in need of makeovers as he saw it. This usually caused more problems than it solved.
Four pages from issue #5.
( We initially see him stopping for coffee on the way to a super-battle )

I've been wanting to get back to the empty abyss that is Countdown to Final Crisis, but it is such a slog... a dark, unpleasant, and mean-spirited slog that it is hard to get through and muster the energy to do it.
So, let's just skip ahead to the absolute bottom of the barrel. Quite possibly the worst issues of this entire run: #24 & #23, the introduction of Superboy-Prime, aka Superman-Prime at the time.
WARNING: Violence, gore, and vomiting are seen in these comics.
