Just off the top of my head, no particular order, i also liked D.O.S and reign of superman, Ion, Onslaught...o well there is alot when your 36 years old hehe
If you mean having balls by putting out that rubbish, I agree. It was a poorly concieved story line, with a plot thinner than Karen Carpenter. The only thing worse was the ending.
It truly should have been so much more. If anybody thinks that the death of Captain America makes this story line so special, sorry, DC beat them to the punch many years ago.
x-cutioner's song
infinity gauntlet
thanos quest
civil war
death of superman(for shear cultural impact and the death of the badly written main characters)
Why did you like this? I know its all personal opinion, but this story also made my all-time worst list.
I bought every issue of this (actually 2 copies each) and 'Zero Hour' including all tie-ins and afterwards I literally donned a dunce cap and asked myself 'Why'. Horrible.
Meh, I liked the storyline, it had a couple of kinks in it (Clor and the villainising of Iron-man for the most part) but that was more than made up for with badass scenes like Cap vs SHIELD in ish #1, being clobbered by Iron-man in ish #3 or Spider-man owning and getting owned in issues #5 and #7. Spidey's unmasking destroyed the whole secret identity thing which tied in perfectly with one of Civil War's themes and allowed potentially new story lines. They had a degree of reader interaction with "Whose side are you on?" and lasting effects (Yes Cap's death being one of them - Brubaker rocks in Cap's ongoing) such as the new, super popular and well written thunderbolts or the initiative or the two new avengers teams which have sprung from this and put the Avengers back on the map
Oh and Mcniven's art was superb Overall a great read IMO
the art at the time was good and x-men was at its most popular.
plus it had cable when he was STILL bad ass not some $shitty psychic
the whole terminator thing was NIKCUF aawsome.
Civil War is a good idea buried in a lot of terrible choices. Still, there was potential there. That's what kills me with modern comics, so many great ideas, a lot of terrible specifics.
Anyway, something that I forgot that just might make the top five:
Astro City: Confession
