"The Nearness of You" from Astro City 1/2 is possibly the best 16-page superhero comic I've ever read
"The Pact" from New Gods #7 is epic.
Does anybody know if there are plans for more ABC Warriors Mek Files volumes? Volume 4 was published 2 and a half years ago and I haven't been able to find any indication that another volume is on...

There aren't many these days, but there were a lot pre Nu-52:
- The Question: Both Vic Sage and Renee Montoya
- Any of the New Gods, but espeically Barda, Mr Miracle and Orion
- Zatanna
- The...
I voted 1 star based purely on his Superman and Legion titles. I haven't read the rest of his work for DC.
I gave him a couple of issues of Superman and Action to win me over. Instead I found his...
Favourite is definitely Crisis on Infinite Earths - nothing like this had ever been published at the time and I remember being blown away by every issue as they came out.
Least favourite - I...
While not as highly praised, his Airboy series and The Shade miniseries were both well received. I believe Earth-2 received positive reviews as well before he left the book
There's nothing wrong with you.
I've found as I get older that most modern comics don't appeal to me. It could be that I'm used to certain writing styles that aren't as prevalent anymore, or that...
Since his brief appearance in Next Men 21, a few months before the publication of Seed of Destruction #1. I was already a fan of Mignola from his 80's work at Marvel and DC and pretty much collected...
Grant Morrison's final issue of Doom Patrol is pretty amazing.
Keith Giffin's final page of his Doom Patrol run is one of the funniest endings to a series I've ever read.
Completely agree with everything you've said. MODOK is actually my favourite Marvel villain but he's been treated as a joke for far too long
Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
Fourth World by Kirby
JSA by Geoff Johns
Starman by James Robinson
The Flash by John Broome
You make a good point. He's rarely mentioned when people discuss Cloak and Dagger. Or Rocket Racoon for that matter. And when people talk Micronauts they usually focus on Michael Golden's art.
Renee Montoya/The Question. Greg Rucka's transformation of Renee into the Question in 52 was amazing. It's great to see her return in the Lois Lane series.
Mantlo's wirint was always a mixed bag for me, but I think he did some of his best work on Marvel's liscenced properties, most notably on Micronauts and Rom Spacenight. I also enjoyed his Vision and...
Roger Stern is definitely my favourite Dr. Strange writer. I loved his run on the title and the Triumph and Torment GN is brilliant.
Definitely. It's a shame his run in the 90's was cut...
Vigilante 50: The final issue of the 80's series and one of the saddest books I've ever read. Adrian Chase's suicide really hit home for me.
Dr. Fate miniseries (1987): While Giffen and DeMatteis...
I'm currently re-reading B.P.R.D. I was on a Guy Davis kick after re-reading Sandman Mystery Theatre and Marquis so I moved onto plague of Frogs and continued into Hell on Earth. I'm currently about...
Marvel have continually outsold DC for decades with only rare and short-lived instances of DC dominance. This began well before Bendis came to Marvel and I can't imagine it changing with his...
Absolutely loved this series. Such an amazing run. My favourite issue is #5. Mon-El destroys the Time TRapper in the previous issue, undoing all of his manipulation of the Legion. For one issue time...
I'm also a big fan of Giffen's Legion of Superheroes. This series could probably go in the 1990-1994 thread but the first issue was released in November 89 so here it is.
It's a controversial run...
Agreed. Giffen is just perfectly suited for horror and for drawing Dr. Fate.
Speaking of Giffen, another favourite from 1985:
...
Love that story. Also a big fan of the Earth-X story. Really, All-Star was on a roll from the trail of Robotman in issue 17 right up through the Shazam story in issue 36-37.
Perez era followed very closely by Rucka's first run.
