DC Recommends 30 TPBs

I was clicking around the DC page, looking for a new monitor background image, when I saw this title:
Looking for a shortcut into our Graphic Novels section?
Check out our 30 Essential Graphic Novels page

So, what the hell, I was clicking.

Scrolling down the list, I saw a number of graphic novels that I would recommend and some that I have not even considered. Even Robert's recommended "All-Star Superman."

Edit: Robert: Essential? Hmmm.... I'm not sure Identity Crisis or Green Lantern: Rebirth are essential. Watchmen, Dark Knight, Kingdom Come, Batman: Arkham Asylum maybe. Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, not so much. I get what they're doing here, but come on.

But they forgot The Umbrella Academy.

There are a lot on my upcoming recommended lists. Also, there are a few I wouldn't recommend to people (ie: Identity Crisis) and even one I've never heard of (Crayon Shinchan).

To my thinking, they're recommending the first books in series, like Sandman, but they really mean the whole series.

They also missed The Planetary.
