Superman- Byrne's Superman run on the main title and Action comics.

Black Panther- Christopher Priest

Daredevil- It' all Miller. Though the last shots of BORN AGAIN give it the edge to me.

Legion of Superheroes- Levitz/Giffen runs you can't go wrong.

Aquaman- David/Califiore ressuected the character and enhanced the mythos for all time.

Hulk- David/Keown wrote the definitive Hulk.

Flash- Mark Waid/Wieringo Waid elevated Wally as the TRUE Flash and gave him the gravitas he needed. The Speed Force is a brilliant concept.

Avengers- Stern's Avengers is the definitive run of Earth's mightiest heroes.

Captain Britain- Alan Moore/Alan Davis

Green Lantern- Geoff Johns, no more needs to be said.

Iron-Man- Bob Layton shouild get lifetime royalties.

Captain America- Brubaker/Epting He took all the best elements of Steranko, Byrne and Waid and enhanced them.

Without delving into the obscura, I would recommend All-Star Superman. Bar none. thumb up

His Captain Marvel run is one i'd recommend, too. And his Supergirl run.

Waid/Kubert Ka-zar
Nicieza/Bagely New Warriors
Busiek/Bagley Thunderbolts

Not the Death of Captain Marvel. But, like, the one just before it, whatever it was. Or maybe the final Wildstorm arc (Worldstorm), but not exactly that one. The one that led up to it (Number of the Beast). Or maybe the hopefully you get the joke by now run from noted writer, Pedantic Semantic.

stick out tongue

Same, it's short, but sweet.

I also enjoyed Ostranders Martian Manhunter.

I appreciate your joke. It's not as good as your material right before this last one, but still quality Digi. thumb up

I hope this doesn't go over people's heads. I support internet informality, but words have meanings damnit.

That run is the perfect foundation for an Aquaman movie franchise!

And if we're going for shorter runs, then definitely Kingdom Come needs to be on the list too
