The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[covalesky]

well, since teh stuff left is Sandman, Lee/Kirby FF, Simonson Thor, Claremont/Byrne X-Men, and Morrison X-Men, i think you're safe there.

I hope so, there's enough BS runs in this list.

Cudos to the guys that had the hard work to do the write ups, but there's some massive bad nominations in here.

I've never read Preacher

Miller's Daredevil deserves to be in the top ten.

Invincible is way to high in my opinion

[covalesky]

At least top three are awesome and deserve the spot.

Claremont's X-men run is as close to perfect as any comic run (not single story arc) can get.

New X-Men (Morrison) - People....

Fantastic Four (Lee+Kirby) - My absolute favorite run on a comic ever. Jack and Stan just brought out the best in each other. Without this book superheroes would be the perfectly perfect people they were at DC. This book built Marvel from the ground up and set the tone for decades to come. I personally feel it should be #1.

That said

Uncanny X-Men(Claremont) - If any run was going to beat my beloved Kirby/Lee FF this was the one. It changed so many thing and brought what was a C-list team of heroes into the forefront of Marvel. Claremont may have lost a lot of his spark but when he was on dear god it was good. And I'm not even an X-fan.

Top three are perfect. Perfect.

Claremont took number one anyway? This is the happiest day of my life.

Waid's Flash was one of the few times where I actively bought Flash on a monthly basis. I think it might be too high though

Morrison's JLA was one of his best runs using super heroes.

Great job on that last post with the multiple covers misac.

Thanks for all your hard work on this list.

At the start I kind of dread the daunting task ahead but I always have a good time doing them. Specially cause of the reactions in the thread.

[Stephen Day]

JLA (Morrisson) - A good run that was a lot of fun. It's major problem was it reinforced the who prep time Bat-god.

Agreed big time, the points in the run where Batman just took guys out he shouldn't were cool as they happened. The problem was what other writers then did with that idea -- it got old real fast.

I don't want you guys to get comfortable. This top list was good, for the next top list, I expect a lot more hard work, longer write ups, HTML fully utilised and I want it exactly a month from now. Get to it!

Simonson's Thor -- I haven't read a lot of it, but what I have is amazing.

Gaiman won actual literary awards while writing Sandman. Love him or hate him, that's something that has to be respected.

Morrison's X-run -- I never read it.

The Lee/Kirby FF and Claremont/Byrne on X-Men make for a good top two.

[Stephen Day]

Great job on that last post with the multiple covers misac.

Thanks for all your hard work on this list.

Here, hear

[covalesky]

Will there be another list?

If so what'll be the topic?

[rdrsfn82]

No one reads the writeups.


As I said at the end, Bubba is looking to do another list, but the subject and timeframe haven't been decided yet.
