>>84465783
Watchmen
Morrison Animal Man
Red Son
52
New 52 Johns' JL

>>84466651
*barfs*
>>
>>84466673

>>
Ms.Marvel
Squirrel Girl
Gwenpool
Civil War II
Thor
>>
>>84465783
Okay, uhh
>Claremont's X-Men
>Kirby's Fourth World stuff
>Moore's Swamp Thing
Eh, I tried.
>>
>>84465783
Simonson's Thor has to be included in the best of Marvel.
I would put Green Arrow and Green Lantern in DC's best, it was doing a lot of topical stuff that wasn't popular for comics at that time
>>
>>84466794
>Green Arrow and Green Lantern
That has got to be one of the strangest ideas they've had.
>>
>>84466722
> Ms. Marvel and Gwenpool instead of Hellcat
>>
>>84466818
>Ms.Muslim
>Hampool

>good
>>
>Morrison's Doom Patrol
>Robinson's Star Man
>Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing
>Ostrander's Suicide Squad
>Ennis' Hitman

>Gerber's Howard the Duck
>Gerber's Man-thing
>Miller's Daredevil
>Simonson's Thor
>Ditko's Spider-man
>
>>
>>84466816
>they both have green in their name, they should be a team
but it worked, I loved seeing them regularly come to blows with each other.
>>
>>84466877

This. This is a good list.
>>
>>84466877
>Simonson's Thor
I like the cut of your jib.
>>
>>84466970
>OP says no console wars
>anon decides to bring console wars
What impels you to this?
>>
>>84466970
Only if DC's had the same substance Marvel had :^)
>>
>>84467008
Whoops. Forget he said that. Deleting.
>>
>>84466794
>>84466877
>>84466955
Tell me about this Thor run.
>>
>>84467124
It is as important to defining Thor as Miller's Daredevil and Claremont's X-Men are to defining those characters
>>
>>84467206
Well that's pretty conclusive.
>>
Marvel
>DeMatteis' Moonshadow
>Mills' Marshal Law
>Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme
>Gerber's Howard the Duck
>Simonson's Thor
>>
>>84465783
DC:
Johns' JSA
Moore's Swamp Thing
Robinson's Starman
Morrison's Animal Man
O'Neill's Batman

Marvel:
Lee/Kirby's Fantastic Four
Claremont's X-Men (maybe not all of it)
Miller's Daredevil
Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man
Ennis' Punisher.
>>
>>84467273
Pretty casual list for Marvel tbqh
>>
>>84467285
What's wrong with casual? Obscure =/= better.
>>
>>84467340
No but there are far better runs than those
>>
>>84467356
Name some then
>>
>>84467356
Then why not bring them up instead of whining?
>>
>>84467360
>>84467224
>>
>>84467365
>obscure comics from the 80's
>best runs from Marvel
How about "no"

I've only read Gruenwald's SS and Simonson's Thor from that list and I'd consider them relatively mainstream compared to what the other anon posted.
>>
>Marvel
Kirby's Captain America
Moench's Ghost Rider
Priest's Black Panther
Gerber's Howard The Duck
Thomas' Namor

>DC
Grell's Green Arrow
Ordway's Power Of Shazam!
Wagner's Sandman Mystery Theatre
John's JSA
O Neil's Green Lantern
>>
>Marvel
Mark Waid's Daredevil
Charlie Huston's Moon Knight
Ed Brubaker's Captain America

>DC
Grant Morrison's Batman
Matt Wagner's Sandman Mystery Theatre

I know there's more, but that's what jumps to mind.
>>
>>84465783
Giffen's JLI
Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
O'Neil's Question
Ellis' Planetary
Final Crisis

Kraven's Last Hunt
Priest's Black Panther
Miller's Daredevil
Simonson's Thor
Byrne's Fantastic Four
>>
>>84465783
Well, I can't read or write, how do I know what I'm reading?
>>
>>84466651
That last one the fuck
>>
>>84469519
>Throne of Atlantis
>Trinity War
>Forever Evil
>Darkseid War

The book was never short of spectacles (other than scond arc and the 10 issues in between Forever Evil and Darkseid War where literally nothing happened)
>>
>>84468231
>Kraven's Last Hunt
I keep seeing this everywhere but the premise seems downright silly. What's so good about it?
>>
>>84467800
>I started reading comics just a few years ago, but I'm going to pretend I know what I'm talking about
The post
>>
>>84470505
Morrison Batman>any other writer's Batman

>m-muh O'Neil

eat my taint
>>
>>84470079
Everything
>>
>>84470756
This isn't a maymay to fool me into reading something shitty now is it, anon?
>>
>>84466651
>last one
Well done lad, you just triggered me.
>>
>>84470767
No. It's pretty fucking great anon.
>>
>>84470815
And yet you seem unable to explain why that is. Come on, let's work on that written expression anon!
>>
>>84470846
Don't be a fag, just go read it.
>>
>>84470846
It's a good spider-man comic, what more explanation do you need?
>>
>>84470846
Heavily detailed art with thicker lines aside, it's a psychoanalysis on Peter. Dialogues are top-notch and clever. You see Peter and his affection on people around him in a darker and realistic way. It's a good deconstruction.

It's a good story. Just read it. Faggot.
>>
>>84470877
>>84470891
>>84470927
And then anon fell for it. The other anons giggled knowingly. They sure had done it again!
>>
>>84469730
Trinity kinda sucked but I'll give you that the other three definitely kept me reading. Besides that I don't really see them as the greatest DC has to offer.
