Best from Marvel in the 90s

[K7P5V]

Wonder Man by Jones & Johnson

https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.ne...600/630109.jpg

To the utmost, I agree. One of Simon's best showings EVER (IMHO):

Thunderbolts

https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.ne...00/1075885.jpg

To the utmost, I agree. And it only got better once Hawkeye joined...

And thats without Larrocca Ghost Rider

Personally, Texeira Ghost Rider will always be my favorite...

Defalco FF

When Doom & Reed returned, the latter half of DeFalco's run was most enjoyable (IMHO):





And Pacheco made the climax all the more memorable (IMHO):

[K7P5V]

Is this only ongoings? If limited series also count Marvels by Busiek and Ross should be mentioned.

Agreed. And since Marvels has been added, these other limited series should then be included (ASAP):

1. Peter David's Future Imperfect





2. Heroes Reborn: The Return





3. Avengers Forever

[K7P5V]

Spider-man 2099

Spidey 2099 was a favorite, as long as both Peter David & Rick Leonardi were around...

Simonson's Fantastic Four.

Agreed. Simonson's F4 had great potential, before it got cut short...

Namor, The Sub-Mariner by John Byrne.
Attachment 108491

Agreed. Loved it when Iron Fist was brought back...

David's run on Hulk - a classic, everyone can agree on this one I think.
Harras' (sans Kavanaugh) run on Avengers - may be an unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed the Gatherers Saga. Shame it went so badly off the rails afterwards.
Busiek's run on Thunderbolts - the best new concept of the 90s.
Busiek's run on Avengers - best revitalization of a then very badly damaged franchise.
Claremont's Fantastic Four - brought the book back to form after years of mediocrity.
Busiek's run on Iron man

Thanks for reading.

PRE-Heroes Reborn Captain America from Mark Waid & Ron Garney

I remember enjoying Alan Davis' Excalibur.

I seem to recall Nicieza's New Warriors being pretty good.

Avengers West Coast by The Thomases & Ross



Wonder Man by Jones & Johnson

Busiek's Thunderbolts wins hands down, for me, followed by New Warriors

3. Avengers Forever

So much great stuff here. I loved all that I selected here, and some of the ones I didn't select, I really liked, just not LOVED.

A few others the make my list.

Alan Davis' ClanDestine.
the 90's GotG series.
McDuffie's Deathlok.
Ostrander and Ferry's Heroes for Hire (perhaps one of my all-time favorites from Marvel).
DeFalco and Ryan's FF (IMHO, very underrated)
Gruenwald's Quasar.
PAD's X-Factor .

And so on. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. The 90's had some excesses, of course, but it sure hade a lot of good stuff also. I can't think of even half this stuff that I've enjoyed as much in the last 20 years.

Peace

Jim Lee FF

Personally, my preference was Jim Lee Iron Man.
Out of everything from Heroes Reborn, this one was the most interesting (IMHO):

Alan Davis' ClanDestine.

Agreed. Another great series cut short way too soon...

PAD's X-Factor .

Agreed. Never had the chance to read the recent one from him, but Peter David's 1st run was legendary (IMHO):

[Geralt of Rivia]

I have to admit to a guilty pleasure of mine - Mutant X.

[Geralt of Rivia]

Simonson's Fantastic Four.

I thought that was in the 80s?

[Geralt of Rivia]

3. Avengers Forever

100% agreed, however I see this one and Future imperfect as fully integrated into the larger runs by Busiek and David, which is why I don't list them.

[Snoop Dogg]

Every good 90's Marvel comic is a Busiek thing.

[Geralt of Rivia]

Every good 90's Marvel comic is a Busiek thing.

Now that's a myth I want to dispel.

[Panic]

I thought that was in the 80s?

No, though it did start in 1989, by the time Walt is both writing AND drawing his run (#337) the comic has a 1990 date. I forget how much the publishing date is ahead of when it would actually hit the stands, but regardless the majority of Simonson's run was in the 90's.

Foolkiller by Steve Gerber and JJ Birch
Nomad by Fabian Nicieza

[K7P5V]

100% agreed, however I see this one and Future imperfect as fully integrated into the larger runs by Busiek and David, which is why I don't list them.

Completely understandable.

And speaking of integrating the works of Busiek & David,
the Genis-Vell version of Captain Marvel is a product of their collaboration which I'll forever LOVE (T^T):

Kurt Busiek
(with Roger Stern)


Peter David

[FFJamie94]

Marvels is a diamond in the rough. It's both a beautiful story and great introduction to the Marvel Universe at large
I can recommend this to anyone as a first time read

Also Todd McFarlane's Spider-man, it's poorly written but that art is fantastic.
