    One that is not well know at all is the Hercules: Prince of Power trilogy by Bob Layton from the 80's. Two mini series and graphic novel to cap it all off. It was just pure fun with Herc in the future running around in space with a Skrull named Skypy.

    I enthusiastically second the Bob Layton Hercules stories.

    And Bruce Jones and Brent Anderson's Ka-Zar the Savage. An incredible updating of the Ka-Zar character, fitting him into the Marvel Universe.

    Love all of those...there was also a short run in Marvel Comics Presents that took place after the graphic novel:




    and a recent third Layton Herc mini - Twilight of a God....

    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! ^_^

    Agreed. When Angel Medina worked with Marvel, I couldn't get enough of his art. But as soon as he left, I lost interest.

    As for my choice of underrated Marvel Comics: Silver Surfer (especially Englehart's run & DeMatteis' run)

    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?"

    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 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.

    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.
