What comics do you consider runs that have lived up to their status as legendary?
For example, I had never read Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing until a couple months ago, and I was blown away...it lived up to the hype.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I re-read Secret Wars from the 80s, and what a piece of crap. It did seem awesome the first time when I was 12, though.
I'd love to hear similar experiences.
