    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.

    An Acts of Vengeance crossover event. One of the major highlights from that run:

    I remember Chip Zdarsky's new run actually referenced it, where he was slipping against thugs due to not being fully in it, and thought something like "I survived Ultron, and I'm going to die to these low-lives?". He still won, of course.

    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.

    PAD's Aquaman
    PADs Captain Marvel*
    PAD's X-Factor
    Mark Waids Silver Surfer*
    Mark Waids Captain America
    John Ostranders Heroes For Hire*
    Fabien Nicezas X-Force
    Kurt Busiek's Thunderbolts
    Fabien Niceza's New Warriors
    Chris Claremont's Excalibur
    Alan Davis' Excalibur
    Scott Lobdell's Generation X
    Joe Kelly's Deadpool
    John Francis Moore's X-Force
    Karl Kesel's Daredevil
    PAD's Incredible Hulk
    John Byrnes She-Hulk
    John Byrnes Namor (w/ Jae Lee)
    Todd Dezago's Spiderman
    Mark Waid's Kazar*
    Warren Ellis' Excalibur
    Dan Abnett's Deaths Head II
    Larry Hama's Wolverine
    Chuck Dixon's Nightwing
    Griffin&DeMatteis' Justice League International

    *These were great books and should not have been cancelled.

    Cripes... I didn't read this. I started cutting back on books at the time - heavily, because I became strapped.

    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)

    X-Men (1991-2001)

    Cable (1993-2002)

    The Punisher (1987-1995)

    Spider-Man (1990-1998)

    Conan Saga (1987-1995)

    Ghost Rider (1990-1998)

    Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme (1988-1996)

    Generation X (1994-2001)

    X-Man (1995-2001)

    The New Warriors (1990-1996)

    Deadpool (1997-2002)

    Black Panther (1998-2003)

    Guardians of the Galaxy (1990-1995)

    Namor, the Sub-Mariner (1990-1995)

    Marc Spector: Moon Knight (1989-1994)

    Quasar (1989-1994)

    The Sensational She-Hulk (1989-1994)

    Darkhawk (1991-1995)

    Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (1989-1993)

    Doom 2099 (1993-1996)

    Warlock and the Infinity Watch (1992-1995)

    Silver Sable and the Wild Pack (1992-1995)

    Deathlok (1991-1994)

    Ravage 2099 (1992-1995)

    Sleepwalker (1991-1994)

    Morbius: The Living Vampire (1992-1995)

    Mutant X (1998-2001)

    Wonder Man (1991-1994)

    What The--?! (1988-1993)

    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.

    The Ben Affleck DD movie was largely based on the Ken Smith run. Plus the first season of Netflix series was a combination of this and the various Frank Miller runs.

    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.

    I signed up for DC Universe a while ago and have been planning to re-read this run.

    That run by Ann Nocenti (Daredevil 236-291) to me is one of the top 5 all time best runs on the character. Her writing style just clicked so well with the character.
