Good picks, but you know the last story I want to read is Kravens Last Hunt while stuck on a deserted island. I mean you do remember its ending right?

I choose a Crisis on Infinite Earths omnibus with all the tie-ins.

Also, all you guys picking omnibus volumes haven't answered the question. Pick a single issue fer Chrissakes.

Okay. Fine.

Giant Size X-Men #1.

A bitchin' Gil Kane cover.
Sweet Dave Cockrum art.
All but one of my all-time favorite X--men ( which includes 4 of my All-Time Top Ten Comic Book Characters to boot!)
A complete extra long story.
And, it takes place on a deserted island.

Happy now?

Since Eli and Amoebas are being bitches about the single issue thing, mine is Marvel Team-Up 127, JMD and Kerry Gammill's Christmas issue featuring Spidey & the Watcher.

Daredevil Omnibus by Bendis

The rules: You're on an island for one year. You get one comic (can be issue, arc or GN). What is it?

But one issue counters the arc rule since an arc us made up if more than one issue. Though gn makes sense since it is a single story but does block the trade since it is one story but made up of multiple issue and that counters the single issue rule but not the arc rule.

Kidding, still Impulse #3

But an arc should be six issues, max, and not an omnibus collection.

An omnibus with 50+ issues is hardly a graphic novel. Hell, a trade (reprint) paperback can barely be called a graphic novel imo.

People choosing omnibus's are just being greedy to take as many issues as possible at once. :-D
