Comic you never tire off...

Like the title says, what comic you’re never tired of reading? What comic can you pick up after 5, 10 years, and you still have the chill when you open that book?

I’ll start. Nothing beats Kingdom Come to me. I still get that child like wonder when Superman first returned to the scene, and you here the words “it’s a bird, it’s a plane.”

Another my favorite is when he entered the bar, this hero was talking down to Superman, and calling him senile, and he got punch by mother hero because he revered Superman so much.

100 Bullets never gets old.

Ive always loved kingdom come as well. Alex ross's art really elevates an already awesome story. I love the biblical parallels and the fact that it's through the pov of just some random old dude.

Superman red son was really good to me. It served as a great story and simultaneously a parable about the problems with power and how to use it responsibly.

All star superman had a similar mythological feel that kingdom come had, albeit in a more subtle expression.

Miracleman was excellent. I love when publishers use publication stuff in the real world as a vehicle for telling a story i. E. Miracle man's legal battle being transmuted by moore into a narrative that mocks the story telling conventions from the older styles of comics.

The sandman is my all time favorite story, i have the 2 part omnibus and ive read it more than once.

Major bummer and section 8 are both comedy stories that parody super heroes, ive read both more than once and really enjoyed them each time.

A story i want to reread is transmetropolitan.

Great thread

-The first run of X-Factor featuring the original X-Men. I've read that shit in black and white and I still love it.
-Uncanny X-Men written by Claremont/Byrne/Lee in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
-Aquaman written by Peter David.
-Hulk written by Peter David.
-Too much Superman to narrow it down.

There are so many, but if I had to remain with just ONE comic from my collection it would be this one:

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, by Frank Miller

I have some super rare comics, even several that are more interesting and a couple that may even be more treasured.

But if I had to remain with one, it would be that one for some reason.

Why?

Because I always go back to read it. A masterpiece. A gem.

for me it's either planetary or authority

one of the best ever written

Fables. Specially all the issues up until the start of Mr Dark's arc. Just so phucking good.

Byrne era Superman
Claremont Xmen
Ennish Punisher
Most eras of Spiderman minus the Clone Saga dogshit

Most Grant Morrison's Superman runs. All Star Superman, Superman beyond etc. And some like the new 52 Action Comics written by Grant Morrison I find it becoming more enjoyble over the years
I also really love Geoff's Green Lantern run, It was where I got into the Green Lantern mythology.
Superman Red Son also is one of the best elseworld stories

Kingdom Come and Red Son.

In no particular order...

All-Star Superman
Kingdom Come
DC One Million
Sinestro Corps War
Final Crisis
Sandman
Lucifer

Here’s one. Wild Cats, it was when Spartan girlfriend found out he was alive. While hey were talking, they were attacked and he was revealed to be a cyborg, and the hero Spartan.

What I like about that story was simple. Even though they loved each other, Spartan release they couldn’t have a relationship because of his job, and the dangers it pose for her. It was nice and sad.

OWAW.

Infinity Gauntlet
Planet Hulk
Infinite Crisis
Superman Year One
Thor 2020
