For me...

1. HoX PoX going into Dawn of X (I love Hickman in particular although i really enjoyed Marauders and Fallen Angels)
2. Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye (wow, go read it if you haven’t already!)
3. DMZ by Brian Wood (In places dark and violent (not suitable for under 16s imo)) This is available as a compendium which i would recommend.

Please leave your own faves below and i would love to hear what you think of my picks. Have a great day!

    1. Immortal Hulk
    2. Absolute Carnage
    3. King in Black
    These are all awesome runs, but they're still ongoing except Absolute Carnage

    @Crcrcrc I have recently started Immortal Hulk and am loving it! On the 2nd OHC now, that would make top 5 for sure if it carries on as it is!
    It's a great series. Too bad it was confirmed by the author to end at #50.

    Just hope they stick the ending right.

    Me too. The buildup has been great, but only time will tell if the finale will be just as good.

    If you love Hickman then his new avengers and avengers run: just before infinity and then into secret wars.
    Incredible, well planned and a lot of fun.

    Francis yu’s artwork throughout is breathtaking.

    The original xmen run still makes amazing reading.

    1) Sentry vol.1 or vol.3 both are great. Vol.2 was slightly on the more confusing end but I still liked it.

    2) Siege/ Dark Avengers

    3) Donny Cates' recent herald Thor run.

    I have only just started Immortal Hulk and King In Black is still ongoing.

    I'm taking it old school

    1) The original Secret Wars
    2) Kraven's Last Hunt
    3) Marvels

    Assume we are sticking with Marvel which precludes other lines.

    1.The Matt Fraction Hawkeye run is terrific. Had a down one of the best reads in recent memory.

    2. A little surprised the original Dark Phoenix run (X-Men 120’s through 130’s) that bleeds into Days of Future Past with Claremont and Byrne wasn’t mentioned.

    3. Amazing Spider-Man so many options...Hobgoblin intro 240’s, Kraven’s Last Hunt (280’s-290’s plus some WoS and PPtSS)

    Also Simonson’s Mighty Thor run, Byrne’s FF run. Hard to choose...
