So many good ones...

The Life and Death of Captain Marvel is great.

The Infinity Gauntlet is outstanding.

Kraven, the Last Hunt is superb

The original New Gods was so crazy for its time

Sandman also pwns

I really liked Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow

I'm also a secret fan of the exploits of Superman Jr. and Batman Jr.

The Thanos Quest and the Strange Death of Adam Warlock were incredible too

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

Also the Swamp Thing story arc where he was bouncing around the universe. Don't know if it had a name.

The Dark Phoenix saga had its moments, but frankly it just ushered in that whole boring age of "let's get every superhero in the universe together on one team to fight some increasingly cosmic creature."

yawn

Superman Dies does NOT belong there, if you go back and read it, you'll see it's really very minimal. bored


Days of Future Past is GREAT, but god, The Dark Knight Returns is just top notch to me.

Kids don't read comic books. The average comic book reader is twentysomething years old.

Do they ever leave their parents' basements long enough to give their age?

btw, I forget who the writer was (JM DeMatteis?) but there was a time when the Power Man and Iron Fist comic kicked 20 kinds of ass.

It was hysterical.

Where should I start? Seriously. I've read the graphic novel where the Joker kills Robin and thought it was fantastic, but that was over ten years ago. I need a new habit.
