I loved when Daredevil went out to the country and met the Blackbolt and other inhumans at "factory farm" where miss #9 was created.
They had to fight ultron.

Dark Horse' movie-based comics, especially in the first half of the decade, were almost all gold. Aliens and Terminator slipped in quality from 1997 onward though.
"I should describe my known nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and disassociated groups; a) love of the strange and the fantastic, b) love of abstract truth and scientific logic, c) love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these strains will probably account for my...odd tastes, and eccentricities."
Lost in the shuffle during the Heroes Reborn focus, and also in the shadow of an Amazing Thunderbolts series. I really liked Ostrander's Heroes for Hire. My first exposure to Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Hercules and She Hulk.

90's had a lot of great Indy work/output so you are probably thinking of the big two? People crap on 90s Marvel/DC (with the exception of Vertigo) but don't realize it wasn't all pouches and terrible "hot look" outfits and hulking bodies... there were some books that ignored that like Davis' Excalibur and PADs X-Factor , the latter had a commentary on the trend through Quicksilver who went PADding free. Get it? PAD of all people? No? Also by the mid 90s that look was starting to go away. Anyway, getting past the look that dominated some of the books there were some good stories. Most of these runs are crazy90's free.

Marvel probably gets more flack for its general quality they had in the 90s than DC. And speaking of which, some of the titles they started publishing in the late 80s and 90s included:
Wolverine (1988-2003)
Marvel Comics Presents (1988-1995)
Silver Surfer (1987-1998)
X-Force (1991-2002)
Excalibur (1988-1998)
What If...? (1989-1998)

Gambit (1999-2001)
Nomad (1992-1994)
The Secret Defenders (1993-1995)
War Machine (1994-1996)
And of course there were the long-lasting Fantastic Four, Avengers, Daredevil, Thor, Incredible Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man titles which were running through the 90s as well.
Even though the first two issues technically came out at the end of 1989 the bulk of the series was in the 90's. The Giffen/Bierbaum 5 Years Latter ... run on the Legion is a masterpiece. Issues 1-38 are amazing. After that the book gets a little sketchy.
Really? I actually saw the Affleck film. I have yet to see the Netflix series, though.
I wish to add X-Man to the list of good 90s books. I wasn't expecting to like it and I wasn't interested in yet another AU/future Summers/Grey character coming into the 616 but I heard good things about it so I decided to give it a chance. I ended up enjoying it.
