What is your favorite Marvel comic/storyline?
 

Hey guys, I've been reading a lot more comics recently and I was just wondering, what is your favorite Marvel comic/storyline? Maybe we can give each other some ideas about what to read next, or just reminisce about stuff we really liked.

I really dig the weirder stories, and recently I got hooked on Taskmaster #1-4.

I also really like Civil War, and the random spin offs that went along with it.

Annihilation
Annihilation: Conquest
War of Kings
Realm of Kings
Civil War
World War Hulk
Secret Invasion
Dark Reign
Siege.

As for limited series:

Taskmaster: Unthinkable
Irredeemable Ant-Man
Ares: God of War
Bullseye: Greatest Hits


All that comes to mind right now.


Oh oh oh loving Black Panther: Man Without Fear too.

Well damn, I'm going to read this now. Siege is awesome, nice choice.

It's pretty good so far. I really enjoy the art more than anything.

I've only been reading comics since Civil War and stopped at Seige, but my favorite run is Planet Hulk and World War Hulk.

Sweet. Did you ever get around to watching the BET miniseries of Black Panther? It was awesome, and there are some really cool cameos (Juggernaut, X'Men, ...etc.).

No, I didn't actually. I've only seen Marvel Knights Black Panther animated film on shelves. Still need to see that.

Taskmaster: Unthinkable for sure
Planet Hulk and World War Hulk
Luke Cage led Thunderbolts
Wolverine led X-Force and Uncanny X-Force
Secret Avengers until it gets chopped off by Fear Itself
Shadowland. awesome to see all the street level heroes up against zombie ninjas and evil daredevil

BET? I'd like to watch it.

yeah that series was pretty good. like a more animated motion comic. if you have a netflix sub, it's on the instant watch stuff.

Yeah, each episode is only about 10 minutes long. For anyone with Netflix its on there, and I've seen it at TRU before. Great show, T'challa is a bad ass.

So all added together its a 50 min short film?

more like 12 eps. hell i'm gonna watch it again.

I LOVE the Exiles series. Right up until Chris "I'm too old to make comics that make sense" Claremont ruined it for everyone.

I reread up until around issue 70 about once a year. :)

Personal favorites:

Annihilation
Nova
Planet Hulk
Wolverine led X-Force and Uncanny X-force
The death of Captain America
The Immortal Iron Fist (Brubaker run)
Demon in a Bottle
Wolverine Enemy of the state/Agent of shield
Wolverine vol. 1 #1-4 by Chris claremont
Entire Joss Whedon Astonishing X-Men run
Civil war what if tony died
Civil war
The trial of Galactus.

The Original Age of Apocalypse
Dark Phoenix Saga
Exiles (Up until Claremount), and then the rebooted Exiles (post Claremount)
GLA: Great Lakes Avengers
Generation X
Young Avengers
Ultimate Spiderman
Runaways

Ultimate Spidie, and Runaways is extremely odd in that both were consistant through out their runs. I felt neither really suffered in quality in writing. (Ultimate Spiderman being a prime example of why rotating writers out every couple months is a BAD IDEA, and allowing one writer to keep building on his own work is what needs to be done. Like in the old days.

Yeah- Tony Bedard rocked on that series..too bad the art was so good on Claremont's run (and it occasionally sucked on Tony's) but Claremont's storyies were kinds...um...

My favorites are....

Annihilation

Thanos Quest

Adam Warlock (from his own run in the early 80's)

The Thanos series (good luck finding this, really- why no trade?)

Guardians of The Galaxy- just the whole damn series.

Nova- whole damn series.

Which Thanos, Thanos imperative? I know there is at least a hardcover of that.

Let see there are plenty of good ones But I would go with some Avengers. Celestial Madonna saga (129-135 and Giant Size 2,3,4) Also the Serpent Crown Saga Avengers 141 -149. except 145/46. Good Classic stuff. When the Masters of Evil took over the Avengers Mansion, Under Seige (issues 270-277).


Of course Amazing 249-251 a good Hobgoblin story. And of course Hobgoblin Lives.

Wow, that's a tough question for me. I guess I could narrow it down to some of my favorites:

Uncanny X-Men: debut of Hellfire Club; Giant-Sized X-Men #1
Ultimate Spider-Man (at least until #80, when I stopped reading/collecting comics on a regular basis)
Transformers #1-80
Joe Kelly's run on Deadpool
Original Age of Apocalypse series
Onslaught saga

There are probably others I can't think of at the moment, but that's still a good list.

EDIT: Add the Earth X/Universe X/Paradise X trilogy. It's basically Kingdom Come for the Marvel Universe. Also, there's the Marvel/DC crossover that led to the creation of the Amalgam universe. Loved that too.

I need to check that out. I'm a fan of the Age of Apocalypse stuff, but it got kind of lame every once in a while.

I have always loved the Incredible Hercules books but I think the Ultimates Omnibus might just pip it!

Thanos Imperative is a favorite (as I own original art from it) but I was referring to an actual honest to god ongoing series that lasted about two years and leads directly to Annihilation.
For some reason, it's never been reprinted.

At the end of the series, we see Thanos at the prison at the core of the galaxy called the Klyn alongside Starlord and Gladiator- a very strange three amigos those made- and you learn how each came to be locked up there.

They end up saving each other's butts when Annihilus' forces come invading though the black hole at the Klyn's core (as it leads to the Negative Zone).

You should post a picture of this artwork, I'm always curious to see stuff like that. That story sounds cool, too bad its not in circulation.

Hey, when you've got a villain that can scare the crap out of Juggernaut (and beat it out of him too), you know you've got something special. ;)

Some didn't care for how it ended, but the thing to keep in mind is that no matter how much build-up you give a villain - no matter how much power - there must be a way for the heroes to win in the end. Even if the solution is considered anti-climactic.
