Your top 5 Marvel graphic novels...

[MessiahDecoy123]

Looking for great graphic novels.

Any suggestions?

 

[jonathancrane]

1. Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt
2. Infinity Gauntlet
3. Ultimates 2
4. Thor: Death of Odin
5. Captain America: Winter Soldier

 

[Themanofbat]

Those aren't graphic novels... they're reprinted material... that makes them trade paperbacks...

 

[NinjinSteve]

Ultimates 1 and 2

Wolverine: Old Man Logan

Daredevil: Born Again

Any Frank Miller written Daredevil

Any Bendis written Daredevil

Y: The Last Man

Ex Machina

Fables

Books of Doom

 

[jonathancrane]

Marvel has not created many graphic novels.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'll take trade paperbacks then.

 

[jonathancrane]

Retain the list I supplied. Some alternates:

1. The Trial of Yellowjacket
2. The Death of Jean DeWolffe
3. The Kree-Skrull War

 

[Visceral]

Frank Miller, Garth Ennis

I also like the ultimates, and the extremis storyline from iron man.

If we're talking Collected Editions/TPB's and the like:

1. Astonishing X-Men Vol. 3 by Joss Whedon
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Invincible Iron Man: World's Most Wanted
4. The Infinity Gauntlet
5. Daredevil by Mark Waid - that whole ongoing series is awesome, but I know at least the first volume's been released as a TPB.

I'm more of a DC fan so I'm sure there are tons that I'm completely unaware of, but I really loved those.

 

[JewishHobbit]

1. The Sentry by Paul Jenkins
2. Earth X
3. Immortal Iron Fist vol. 1 & 2
4. Annihilation Vol. 1-3
5. Daredevil by Bendis (the whole run, start from the beginning, which was Daredevil 26. It's been collected in several ways, so whatever edition you'd like to try.)

 

[Donnie Darko]

Marvel has not created many graphic novels.

Well, if you want to get technical with it...

[random_havoc]

1. The Sentry by Paul Jenkins is just genius.
2. Ultimates vol 1
3. Ultimates vol 2
4. Won't pick a specific volume but basically anything from the first 80 or so issues of Ultimate Spider-Man
5. Civil War

 

[Donnie Darko]

If you are going for just great Marvel stories, I feel like you can't go wrong with Marvels.

 

[Max J Power]

Same rule as I used in the DC forum: the whole story is collected in one volume.

1. Marvels
2. X-Men: Days of Future Past
3. Daredevil: Born Again
4. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills
5. Fantastic Four: 1234

 

[Donnie Darko]

Born Again is good stuff. However, I think for maximum enjoyment, you should read the other Frank Miller Daredevil collections as well.

Speaking of Daredevil, I also really enjoyed Kevin Smith's run.

 

[Czar Colossus]

Marvel is tough; much of the best stuff is just collected from ongoing series,
So.......
-Marvels
-Astonishing X-Men Omnibus (Whedon)
-Captain America Omnibus Vol. 1 (Brubaker)
-Thor Omnibus (Simonson)
-Avengers Forever

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Wow this was tough...

Daredevil: Born Again
Daredevil by Frank Miller Volume 2
Avengers: Under Siege
Thor: Dissassembled
The Ultimates 2: Grand Theft America

I feel so dirty by not mentioning a lot of great books.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah. I forgot about Marvels. Its sequel, Marvels 2, was enjoyable as well.

 

[Themanofbat]

As far as the better Marvel Graphic Novels, which would be individual original stories, the following would apply... in no particular order...

X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills
Super Boxers
Greenberg the Vampire
Daredevil: Love and War
Amazing Spider-Man: Hooky
Spider-Man: Soul of the Hunter

Notable mentions...

The Death of Captain Marvel
The New Mutants
Spider-Man: Spirits of The Earth
The Futurians



If you need a list of reprinted material, any of the previous stuff mentioned is decent...

 

[JewishHobbit]

In terms of strictly GNs and not TBPs, X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills is my favorite. The Death of Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Soul of the Hunter were both also phenominal, though Soul of the Hunter requires you read Kraven's Last Hunt first, but it's worth reading both since they're so good.

 

[Happenstance]

In no particular order:

Spider-Man: Blue
Ultimate Spider-Man: Power and Responsibility
Marvels
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Young Avengers: Sidekicks

 

[Themanofbat]

In terms of strictly GNs and not TBPs, X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills is my favorite. The Death of Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Soul of the Hunter were both also phenominal, though Soul of the Hunter requires you read Kraven's Last Hunt first, but it's worth reading both since they're so good.

I knew I was missing one... thanks.

 

[Voodoo Flair]
