[TheCorpulent1]

The humans know Cylons are out there. They blew up the colonies. That's kind of a noticeable calling card...

Okay, I know I'm fairly new to the board, and I apologize if this has been done before, but I was interested in getting a read on what everyone's favorite Marvel titles are and why? Maybe a Top 3-5 list...

Please try to distinguish between favorite all-time because of the general body of work vs. your favorite currently because the current writing/art/characters are so good.

I've been out of comics for a long time, and looking to get back in... so I will use this to help me gauge what people are liking these days. Plus, I'm just interested.

When I got out, I'd say my favorites were:

1. Silver Surfer - loved the beginning of his series leading into the Infinity Gauntlet
2. Amazing Spider-man - it was the tail end of McFarlane's run on the title going into his "Spiderman" title, and there was some great stuff going on.
3. Uncanny X-men - The Fall of the Mutants was starting to lose me, but I really enjoyed this title up until then
4. Avengers - again - this had started to fade a bit on me, but there had been some great arcs - I enjoyed Druid's run as leader and the whole Assault on Olympus Story
5. FF - Once my favorite of all time - still kept up with it, but it was on the way down quickly.

You're right (and Welcome to the Hype), it's been done ton's of times, but it's new to you, so:

1 Daredevil - coming off what many people consider it's best run ever by Bendis/Maleev (my personal favorite is Miller's first run). I personally think the current team of Brubaker/Lark has the potential to be even better than both.

2 Marvel Team Up- I love everything about this title. Continuity, plotting, humor, characterization. Revolving cast, but Kirkman makes it all work. It might not be around much longer, so enjoy it while you can.

3 Captain America- Brubaker's other great title

4 Astonishing X-Men- If you need an x-fix, forget all the other titles and read this one.

5 Exiles - Sort-of x-characters from other realities hopping around and fixing other realities. Another revolving cast, and a revolving reality as well. Think What If? with a constant cast.

6 New Avengers- Pretty controversial, but I love it. Not always executed as well as it could be, but I think the line-up makes sense and reverberates throughout the MU.

As far as your other favorites: FF is pretty good right now, Silver Surfer is being featured in a Miniseries called Annhilation (there are also Nova, Ronan, and Super Skrull titles). I'd say it's up in the air as to how good Amazing and Uncanny are right now. I buy them, but nothing to gush over like the others you mentioned.

I've asked this in another thread, but anybody keeping up with Moon Knight? Thoughts?

 

[iloveclones]

Do a search on Moon Knight, there's a thread or two.

I like it. The art is fantastic. Writing is a little slow, but I think if you're a MK fan, you'll like it.

 

[Elijya]

yeah, we did a "top five" thread a few months back, lemme see if I can find it for you JoWall...

 

[Elijya]

bump, here ya go. I actually did a poll combining all the responses so far a few pages into this thread

 

[Darthphere]

1.Daredevil
2.She-Hulk
3.Young Avengers(when it comes out)
4.Captain America
5.Moon Knight

Here, the tally from the first three pages, which reflects peoples feelings in Febuary

Ok, you gotta be really bored to sit at a computer and run useless stats for your own amusement. Well, it's nearly 6 AM, and I'm bored. So here's the tally's from everyone's responses in this thread so far. It's not 100% accurate because I think some people were only listing their top Marvel books, and some weren't or were including miniseries. Divided it up into several sections (also had to ignore Silver Sables vague vote for just "spidey", and anyone who made a 6th choice of some kind, to make it fair)

suppose we could start a new thread. Yeah, I think I will for my own curiosity.
