I bought Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 last week and it was so good I can't stop recommending it to other people. It's the first comic I ever bought more than one copy of, and if I had a million dollars I'd buy a couple hundred and give them out to anyone who is interested.
I'm new to comics so I'd like to hear what issues of comics you folks read really impressed you and made you want to tell the world about. In particular, I would prefer they be modern (last 10 or so years) and not "classics".

Not sure if they fit exactly within ten years, but the modern comics that really impacted me in the "this's a really good story" way would be Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run (can't really narrow it down to a issue, it's all one thing really), the X-23: Innocence Lost miniseries (that might be older than ten years, but still something I've found to be one of the best comics I've read), and Brian Michael Bendis's two Ultimate Spider-Man entries in the Ultimatum: Requiem line (maybe not the best stories he wrote, but he managed to explain who Spider-Man is and why the character matters better and more eloquently than anyone else in those pages).
I've also found that the "Four Sisters," "Orphans of X" and Squirrel Girl crossover issues/story arcs from All-New Wolverine have been sticking with me.Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

Pick up anything else with Donny Cates name on it and you should get that same feeling he recently wrote a Thanos series and just started Death of Inhumans and Venom.

Like Weblurker said Orphans of X. Especially when the armor took the bullets and we see projections of Laura's family.
Another is Peter Parker Spectacular Spider-Man # 6. The interview between Jonah and Spidey is great!
I'm a big Spider-Man fan so I gotta say Amazing Spider-Man 800.
I'll also go with Secret Wars, Superior Iron Man, and Contest of Champions.

I forgot about Thor:1.
That was a cool comic book as well,usually i get bored by the Thor speech in the stories(English is not my first language,so when Reading stories that have dialogs as in the Thor stories that makes it even more difficult to read for me),having said that i will be buying the next numbers of Thor for sure.

Superior Iron Man was such a great series. If they didn't make Tom Taylor stop who knows how long it would of lasted.

I'll echo the mention of Vision, which was just stunning, from start to finish.
Can I say everything Stephanie Has has drawn? Because everything she's drawn has made me say "wow." She's amazing.
The first arc of Tamaki's Hulk run. Damn, did that **** ever hit hard.
The recent Black Bolt run. It made me actually like Black Bolt, a character I've always hated.
But I think the single issue I'll highlight was Silver Surfer #13. That entire run by Slott and the Allreds is amazing. One of the best comics of the modern era. And issue #13 absolutely freaking wrecks me.

That issue did not play fair at all.

Honestly it was the run that got me into Iron Man. I really enjoyed Tony as a villain more so Superior Spider-Man and Hydra Cap. Originally Posted by Tony Stark
