This is not the usual thread.

Im interested in collecting the best comic book stories ever made, DC or Marvel.

I have some great comics but I'm sure I'm missing others that perhaps the public can awaken me to.

Each individual should include atleast one book, but if you wish you can make a top three of your choosing.

It doesn't matter if you see your selection on someone else's post, that would just validate that comic even more as one of the greats.

This is a thread for everyone and all choices are excepted.

Supreme Power

The Watchmen
Miracleman
Sandman
Grendl
Concrete
Hellboy
Ultimates
Hellblazer
Alan Moores Swampthing run
The Nazz
Ultimates
Shade the Changing man
Moonshadow
The Authority
Lucifer

Kindom Come

Marvels

Days of future past

Secret War (the origional one)

Crisis (the origional one)

The Death of Spiderman (the one in which Kraven the Hunter buries SM alive)

The Death of Superman

The orgin of the Authority

Wanted

JLA Obisidan

Avengers .. Masters of Evil

Spiderman ... The other

Superman .. Red Glass

Moving

My own reccomendations would be Sandman, Watchmen, and probably the original Crisis

Kingdom Come and Superman - Red Son

Both are truly jaw-droppingly moving.

Supreme power
Sqaudren Supreme (the classic 12 issue series)
Avengers - Red Zone
Kingdom Come
Infinty Gauntlet
Secret Wars
Ultimates vol 1
Defenders essential,
Defenders 5 issue mini series
Planet Hulk
Sentry
ANY ESSENTIAL
Korvac saga
Thor dissembeld.

wow fellas,

I did some reviewing of these titles, these are some well respected books.

Of the ones mentioned I have:

Watchmen - most amazing literature I have ever read in comics, but not my favorite comic book.

Crisis on Infinite Earths - incredible series. madness.

Kingdom Come - most amazing artwork I have ever seen, great great story.

Secret Wars(original) - probably my favorite comic book series.

I have other comics, but these where some of the one's yall mentioned that I have, I'll be looking forwward to reading every single extra title included here.

One thing though, are these other titles limited series editions, or entire Title runs?
For instance, I know Lucifer reaches 60 or 69, that's kewl, but there's titles out there in the hundreds, but some of these titles in the hundreds have a great run like New X-Men 114 - 154, which I proudly own compliments of a buddy.

All of those ones those guys said.
lol.
Anything arted by Alex Ross.
{I didn't see stuff like Peace on Earth mentioned..?]
Anything written by Gaiman or Moore.

Ey Jun you obviously know your stuff, give me that portal to knowledge and suggest titles,

any others you saw missing besides what you included?

ps. Ross is definately the future of comic art.

No one mentioned Batman: Hush. That's one.


More often than not, you just need to look at the artists and writers of the pieces you already love, those people will impress you most times. Alan Moore, Alex Ross, George Perez, people like that on books will rarely if ever at all dissapoint.

Batman: Hush
Daredevil : guardian devil
Marvel heroes : secret wars (The original one)
Ultimates

The Ultimates (from Marvel's ultimate universe) is generally thought to be pretty kick-ass. I like even more than my beloved Spidey (Ultimate, not 616) so you know it's good.

well the ones i mentioned were not ongoing they were as either limited serises, grpahic novel or trade paperbacks though supreme power has changed to Squadren Supreme so maybe get that. Originally posted by HigH ScholaR
