These days, once again I have been going through the CBR's Top 100 Comic Book Runs conducted by Brian Cronin every four years. And I think these are not mentioned enough in the community. Even though it is almost exlusively American comics that are voted for, I think these lists are one of the best reading recommendations you can find in the internet. So I am wondering how many of the listed runs have you read and which comic book runs should have absolutely made the list in your opinion?
Here is the link to the master list of the latest 2020 edition:

Since we are on Marvel Forum, I separated the ones that were published by Marvel and the other publishers' works into two lists below. There are 44 Marvel and 56 other publishers. My count is 38 for Marvel and 10 for other publishers, yeah I am an almost Marvel only reader.
