No company wars, /co/, just a simple question:
What are the ten best runs from each company?
>>
>>82589525
>best runs from Marvel
is there even anything good?
>>
>>82589525
I miss the old DC logo
>>
>>82589540
Miller's Daredevil, Ennis' Punisher, Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four, Simonson's Thor, Hickman's Fantastic Four, Bendis' Daredevil, Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man as well, Byrne's Fantastic Four. There's lots of great runs, pal.
>>
>>82589540
Given that OP doesn't give a time period, I'm sure you can think of a good run in all of Marvel's history.
>>
>>82589525

there's no company wars when it comes to what company had more quantity quality stuff. No one ever denies it.
>>
>>82589540
Vision... That's it.
>>
>>82589525

In no particular order, imo

DC
>Johns JSA
>Morrison/Waid/Kelly JLA
>Waid Flash
>O'Neil Question
>Morrison Doom Patrol
>Giffen JLI
>Moore Swamp Thing
>Johns Flash
>Morrison Animal Man
>Baker Plastic Man

Marvel
>Remender Uncanny X-Force
>Milligan X-Statix
>Gerber Howard the Duck
>Kelly Deadpool
>Miller Daredevil
>Brubaker Captain America
>DnA Cosmic Marvel
>Simonson Thor
>Busiek Avengers
>Ennis Punisher MAX
>>
>>82589680

That would require him not to be a bitter fanboy.
>>
>>82589711
>DC and Marvel were founded in 1980
>>
>>82589540
Miller's Daredevil is 10/10, DD: Born Again is miles better than Batman: Year One
Alias (AKA Jessica Jones) is good
Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man is very good for more than 100 issues

Ms. Marvel is really good.
>>
>>82589789

Are you expecting me to rank stories I wasn't alive to read?
>>
>>82589735
Hey buddy, I used to be like you. But then I read some actually good Marvel comics.
Doesn't mean I have to like the MCU though.
Although after the release of BvS the MCU is objectively better

Didn't mention a Batman or Superman run
>>
>>82589830

>Superman

Plenty of top tier individual stories, but his runs aren't top ten tier.

>Batman

desu I just don't read that much Batman.
>>
>>82589711
>>Johns Flash

No

>>82589838
That's a really insecure post m8, i didnt even mentioned what company was the one that was way better than the other one.
>>
>>82589806
Yes because you can still read them now. They didn't disappear, you fucking moron. You have Kyle Baker's Plastic Man over Jack Cole's and that's disgusting
>>
>>82589892

just my opinions, bruv
>>
>>82589863
Read Miller's Daredevil my nigga
>>
>>82589711
This is a solid list but I think you can swap Johns Flash out for something else.
>>
>>82589909

I'm not going to go out and read them right this fucking second just so I can satisfy you by putting them in my personal top ten list, man.
>>
>>82589934
But you've intentionally avoided them why?
>>
Surprised no one mentioned Mike Grell's Green Arrow
>>
>>82589947
Because they're old.
>>
Neil Gaiman Sandman is missing here
>>
>>82589947

>intentionally avoided them

I didn't, I just haven't gotten around to reading them at any point. I have a lot of stuff to do. As much as I wish I could lie around all day reading comics and playing video games, I just can't anymore.

I've got a lot of recent stories on my backlog that I want to read over the older stuff.
>>
Do Sandman, Hellblazer and Shade the changing man count as DC runs?
>>
>>82590040
OP here, Vertigo runs can count as long as they exist within the DC continuity.
>>
>>82589711
>Brubaker Captain America
>DnA Cosmic Marvel
Both of these have such lackluster second halves(Brubaker's Run becomes trash after 600) I don't know why you would put them up there. Also Jack Cole's Plastic Man was far better than Baker's was mainly because Cole wasn't rebelling against editorial or fans and was able to just pump out stories.
>>
>>82589540
Back to /tv/.
>>
>>82590077
Nintendo is more like DC. Also there's no such thing as good console games you pleb.

Never change, /co/.

I mean DC isn't putting anything out right now that's too hot
But the only current big two comic I'm reading is Ms. Marvel, which is REALLY good.
DC has its fair share of god tier comics, like Moore's Swamp Thing, Morrison's Animal Man, etc.
But Marvel has a few too.
>>
>>82590232
Look, I want you to listen to me really carefully. You ready? Marcus is in the garden.
But we'll keep that between us, y'hear?
>>
>>82590292
>Marcus is in the garden.
What does this mean
>>
>>82590269
Ms Marvel is pretty decent but not "REALLY good." The 2006 Blue Beetle run did the same idea better.

Vision is probably Marvel's best current book and it's a shame you're not reading it.
>>
>>82590458
Vision reads like a poor man's don delillo novel, it isn't that impressive. Omega men is way better on every front if you're talking tom king books.
>>
I can't believe I share a board with people over the age of 18 who genuinely believe that a comic company has never had a single good book because it's not the comic company they've aligned themselves with.

*Suicide squad, not Doom Patrol, since it has already been mentioned.

Personal preference, fellas. No particular order:

Marvel

>Ennis' Punisher
>Miller's Daredevil
>David's Hulk
>Simonson's Thor
>Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man
>Priest's Black Panther

This is a question that cannot be answered properly, as each person has diffrent tastes, what you should have asked is what are Your Top 10 favorite comics from each company
>>
>>82590540
Vision is very overrated and Omega Men is miles better, but Vision is still better than meme spewing poc shit.
>>
>>82590644
>>82590458
I'm a Desi, maybe that's why I'm a lot more partial towards Ms. Marvel
I believe I read an issue of Vision a year ago (his synth family moves in and meets the neighbors). It was pretty good, might read more
>>
>>82590619
I can't believe I share a board with people over the age of 18 who genuinely take such pathetic entry level bait and don't realize it.
>>
>>82590754
>poc shit
so you just hate stuff because the main character isn't white?
>>
>>82590700
It's good nigga. Read it.
The Mattie Franklin arc legitimately tore at my heart.
>>
>>82590795
No, I hate shit that makes that the defining trait of the comic.
>READ IT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T STAR A WHITE GUY!
>>
>>82590806
I did read it years ago(almost 20 issues or so). I got baited once, never again.
>>
>>82590776
What I didn't like about Ms Marvel is that it was very slow. I know decompression is an issue for the current industry as a whole but I can't excuse a book where a one issue story is dragged out for 5 issues where there's minimal character development or exploration.
>>
>>82589540
No.
>>
>>82590776
>I'm a Desi, maybe that's why I'm a lot more partial towards Ms. Marvel
I'm Paki and I don't care for it. It's just an alright comics that swings on the good side of middling

When the Marvel movies die and Disney dissolves their comics division into Star Wars

>>82590806
It's not that great. But definitely at least decent and one of Bendis' best works.
>>
>>82589789
The 80s were when comics got good
>>
>>82590622
>Sandman Mystery Theater

Absolute god tier taste

>>82590754
Vision is the only book most Marvel exclusive types have ever read that is any good at all, so it gets tons of praise. If it were a DC book it would be well received but forgettable. However, it's telling that the writer has already been poached by DC.

What started as a parody of DoA turned into it's own thing. I can only describe it as DoA but better. Much better writing, and much better jokes. Still in need of an artist, but i like it so.

You have terrible taste. The only really good thing Marvel is putting out at the moment is Vision.

A book that became mediocre after its writers jumped ship


>what is Lois and Clark
Jurgens.
>>
>>82593132
as opposed to what?

Omega Men is literally better than anything Marvel has done in ten years. Probably longer.
>>
>>82592214
>what is Secret Six
>what is Lois and Clark

two mediocre series

sad to see someone kill their own credibility like this, your list was good until this point
>>
>>82594556
I don't see how you could read either of them and have such a high opinion. It's almost disrespectful that you'd put legitimately great books like Omega Men on their level. I hope those were troll picks.
>>
Not of all time, but my top five of the past five years:

DC

Geoff Johns' Aquaman
Marv Wolfman's The New Teen Titans

Multiversity
>>
>>82596609
Yes. Batwoman really should focus more of the fantastical side of Gotham, and Williams did that well.
