    I picked Miller's Daredevil. I think an argument could have been made to include Simonson's Thor in that poll.
    Matt Murdock's cooler twin brother

    I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
    Thomas More - A Man for All Seasons

    Interested in reading Daredevil? Not sure what to read next? Why not check out the Daredevil Book Club for some ideas?

    I haven't read PAD's Hulk so I'm going to go with Miller's DD. It was a game changer for the character, but just as important it broke a lot of ground for the superhero genre and comics in general.

    LOL! Same here. I picked Miller's Daredevil because we could only vote for one choice, but honestly these are all fantastic.

    The OP poll is very incomplete.

    I'd add the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Fantastic Four and their Journey into Mystery Thor
    Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man

    I can only judge what I read… so Claremont’s X-men. Second: Roy Thomas’ Conan.

    Third: Jim Starlin’s work on Adam Warlock.

    Miller's Daredevil. What a run. Very few I'd rank above it.

    Even Though Roger Stern's is my favorite Avengers run, I'm still an Avengers man, so I voted for Busiek's Avengers. I love PAD's Hulk, but I'm not a Hulk fan, and I think, other than the Spectacular The Captain storyline, Waid's Captain America was much better, though shorter, than Gru's. Clarfemont's X-Men had it's ups and downs. Never dug much Daredevil, Miller or not.
    Other run's that should have been up for vote:

    Michelinie and Layton's Iron Man
    Simonson's Thor
    Byrne's Fantastic Four
    Stern and Frenz's Spider-Ma n (though there are plenty of classic runs to pick with Spidey)
    PAD's X-Factor

    Just to name a few (I'm not gonna touch the Lee/Kirby/Thomas/Buscema/Ditko, etc... material)

    Peace

    It’s a toss up between Gruenwald’s Captain America run, and Busiek’s Avengers run. In the end, I voted out of nostalgia. The first comic I ever read was Captain America #402. Which was the first issue of the Man and Wolf arc, written, of course, by Gruenwald, which started my love of comics.
    I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
