Its easy to come up with a top 10 fights for Indie.
I like this topic more, its more challenging. Marvel and DC fails, and make shitty fights despite the amount of content.
There's just been so many, but here are some that really tickled my fancy. In no particular order..
Batman vs Superman (DKR) - Gritty as phuck and honorable mention to Bats vs the Mutant leader in the same series.
Thors vs Gorr - I believe is one of the best knockdown drag out hyperbolic metal fests that Marvel has ever produced
Superman vs Doomsday - nuff said!!!!!!!!!!! *salute*
Thor vs Midgard Serpent - Walt Simonson at his finest. Just read it. It's why I love comics.
Orion vs Darkseid - In Simonson's Orion run... It was so meticulously crafted... Follow it panel by panel and you'll realize how well it really showcased the skill of both combatants. Another Simonson classic.
Thanos vs Cosmic Heirarchy - As a wee little lad in Queens NY, reading something like this my mind was officially blown. Big G, Living Trib, Chaos and Order, Love/Hate, Celestials, etc. etc...
Kingpin vs Red Skull - I challenge anyone who reads it and not come out with a smile afterwards. Plain fun.
These are just a some that were always memorable to me..
My number 1 isnt DC / Marvel
The Shadow vs Grendal.
If it wasnt Marveland DC I'd say aĺ mine would be indie as well like Shadow vs Green Hornet. Grendal vs Bats, Bats Vs shadow (though there are 2 DC versions of this, just not much o panel)
For Marvel
Daredevil vs Iron Fist.
IF - "Nice move what do you call it"
DD - "Ducking"
Hulk and Namor Vs Avengers (#5 IIRC). PARTICULARLY loved the panel with both Hulk and Namor using 2 hands to try and pry Mjilnor from his hand
Hulk vs thor xrom Defenders / Avengers cross over
DC
Alan Scot vs Brainwave (A.S.S 20)
Supes vs Capt Marvel (also from A.S.S)
1. Spider-Man versus Firelord.
2. Thing versus Hulk, Fantastic Four #s 25 & 26.
3. Spider-Man versus Juggernaut, the original 2-issue battle.
4. Hulk versus The Blob and Unus the Untiuchable.
5. Magneto versus X-Men, Uncanny X-Men #150
6. JLA versus White Martians, Terror Incognito Storyline
(JLA #58, if I remember correctly...)
