So I I thought I’d leave it up to you to decide what I read next. Pretty much because I can’t decide. I did not have other because obviously it can be what I have in my collection. Whatever the masses decide I will read. And yes all are great runs. IMHO. And no “it’s really your decision.”🤪. And I will try my hardest to give some 2023 reviews. Though I am not as good at this as my fellow posters

I voted for Iron Man, as it's a run I enjoyed but haven't reread in a good 15 years.
Cei-U!
I summon the Turtle Wax!

I voted for the FF run. Wolfman and Byrne produce a classic Galactus story that introduces Terrax the Tamer with the Four trying to prevent dying from old age.. The battle between Galactus and the Sphinx is epic.

I voted the Nefaria Saga. It's good, and it's short. You could reread the whole thing by the time folks finish voting in the poll.

Tough call... but having just re-read and enjoyed that Iron Man run last year I picked that... Titans definitely a close 2nd.

I remember it as a bit of an anticlimax with Galactus winning easily but it's been a lot of years so maybe I should try it again.

I've read three of the choices: Avengers/Nefaria, FF 208-218, and Teen Titans 1-7. I liked each of them at the time but I'd say my favourite was definitely the Avengers one, even though I've always had problems with the Superman-worship I think is one of the basic ingredients of Shooter's story.
Of the others, the ones I'm most likely to look at are Crisis (mostly for the Perez artwork, not that interested in the story or DCU history), Kraven's Last Hunt (like Zeck's art when he's on his game and the idea of Kraven being the protagonist), and maybe Iron Man (again, mostly for the artwork; never have liked the character much).

I voted "Kraven's Last Hunt" because it's a Spider-Man arc I enjoy re-reading, but also because I have limited knowledge of many of the other runs you've listed.

Kind went back and forth between the Iron Man and FF stories, but ultimately went with the latter, because I - as I think I've mentioned in other threads here previously - I'm really quite fond of that space opera story that sees the team flit about the galaxy, help Nova deal with a crisis on Xander, and then go back to Earth to deal with a powered-up Sphinx and also Galactus. Great stuff. However, I also like the run of stories that preceded it, really everything leading up to FF 200 and some of the stuff between that issue and #208.

That run of Iron Man was without a doubt a high point for the title.

I say throw caution to the wind and step outside your comfort zone.
Visit WebComicUniverse at archive.org and choose from hundreds of vintage golden and silver age comics from defunct publishers which are now in the public domain. All books are available in multiple digital formats; you can either read them directly on Archive.org, or you can download them in PDF, Kindle, and several other formats.
I can 100% guarantee that you will find stuff you have never seen before. Some titles have long consecutive runs posted as well.

If you decide to take tartanphantom 's suggestion, then I would recommend going to either the Digital Comic Museum or Comic Book Plus; both sites have pretty much everything you'll find at the link he provided, except they're both far better organized, i.e., they're broken down by publisher, with each separate series listed alphabetically and stored in separate, easy-to-consult folders, etc. |
