Underrated comics from Marvel Comics

[nx01a]

A book that I really enjoyed at the time, and thought had huge potential with the backstory and the sheer number of characters and their links to various aspects of the MU was Blackwulf.

They haven't been seen since the series ended, unless you count a reference during Civil War, but it was not an actual appearance.

I loved Blackwulf's weapon. All that Kirby Krackle! ^_^

Captain Britain and MI:!3

Kirkman's Irredeemable Ant-Man was incredible and often overlooked. It's why Eric O'Grady is "my" Ant-Man.

X-Men 2099 was amazing. I loved the team more than most regular X-Men lineups. Krystalin, Meanstreak, Xian Chi Xan/Desert Ghost and La Lunatica were all favorites, but I also liked Bloodhawk and Metalhead. The art was amazing. The writing and creativity was fun and new, with a whole new setting to explore. And it had memorable side-characters and villains, like Brimstone Love, Halloween Jack and, of course, Dr. Doom!

From the New Universe era, Psi-Force, DP 7 and (not New Universe, but released around the same time) Strikeforce Morituri were all fun reads, although all three of them seemed to have a certain amount of story in them, and then kind of meandered in quality, IMO, after a few years.

If we can talk about recent books -- I thought Red Wolf was excellent, and it must have been underrated because it was cancelled pretty quickly.

Then I hope that you've enjoyed his recent involvements within the SECRET EMPIRE Event/Miniseries (and as one of HydraCap's Avengers, no less).

lol I remember that. I remember their main grab was something like "If the main character was killed in the first issue, what will happen next?"

the current Hawkeye series

This book's primary problem is that it's not Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye. It is, however, almost as good. And it's a close almost. This series is like Wilt Chamberlain scoring only 93 points and not a 100. I'm with you on underrated and underappreciated.

Captain Britain and MI3.

The last Hercules run. Dan Abnett I think?

I forgot about the Twilight of a God mini series. I never knew about the Marvel Comics Presents stuff. Marvel should really put the whole thing into one big trade.

There were two hardcovers a few years back- Prince of Power and Full Circle- that reprint the original mini, the graphic novel and the MCP stuff.

The Hellstorm series from the mid 1990s gets my vote. Fantastic stuff.

There was a to of flak directed at Remender's Frankencastle, but "shockingly" for comics it was not a permanent change and I loved the run.

I thought it was awesome too! It was a great idea to combine Frank with the Frankenstein Monster folklore. I remember the outrage. Lol. It was clear from the start that it would only be temporary but it was something fresh and different. Frankencastle became the unofficial leader of the Legion of Monsters.

I liked the couple Thunderstrike issues I read, as well as the issue where Iron Man fought Mr. Hyde and ran into a ton of obstacles trying to defuse a bomb only to learn HE was the bomb. Titania and the Absorbing Man's wedding was fun, too.

[Tony Stark]

double post

D.P.7, which reminds me of the X-Men, but with a more consistent, varied, and just an all more approachable way in chronicling how the world reacts to and treats people that suddenly gain supernatural powers and vice versa.
