A couple of my favouriets are
Batman: Hush
Wolverine: Origin
JLA: Avengers vs Justice League
X-men: That whole Apocolypse gathering of twelve arc.

I'm sure that I read other ones that I liked but I have a bit of a short memory when it comes to comics

AnCapaillMor

Still read it now and then, the entire Legion quest and age of apocalypse storyline. Would'nt sell it for anything.

I've been keeping my DC comics for a long, long time now. especially the Superman's Man of Steel volume. i treat it as my biggest treasure.

also love collecting marvel comics too.

franman

Superman# 75 (Death of Superman)
Batman: Knightfall (but just the first two volumes)

Favourite of recent years is probably Superman: For All Seasons or The Punisher: The Cell

Not the only one mate, 2000ad is the reason I got into comics in the first place! I still reread them most weeks.

Totally weird....I too have a fascination with Spidey and Black Cat. M.J's the wholesome one but I'll take Black Cat for dessert.

DoctorEdgeWild

Good to hear I'm not alone. Perhaps we should set up a support group?:D

I have pretty much every comic with Black Cat in it. It's a shame her self title never really made it, only four issues sadly.

The Lamb

Batman-Arkham Asylum.

WellCultured

Watchmen
Batman: year One
DD: Born Again
Y The Last Man

Count me in on that one. I think I can find us some more as well. I Don't thhink that any sci fi/fantasy fans over a certain age in Ireland didn't grow up on 2000AD anyway - there was nothing else to buy. Nemisis was the best of it, IMHO. Anything by Pat Mills before he went "mother goddess mad".

On topic though -

DC's Watchmen, obviously. The entire Cerebus collection by Dave Sim. Ghost in the Shell, original and Man Machine Interface. The New Statesmen. Alan Moore's Ballad of Halo Jones. Middle - era Swamp Thing. Millers "Elektra Assassin". Uhhh... other stuff I can't think of...

Gots to admit im a huge fan of the recently defunked Dreamwave Transformers series.Great artwork, greart storyline...all good, shame the company went bust.
Another favourite has to be any of the numerous Darkhorse Starwars series...always good.
That and Darkhorse Aliens used to be perdy descent too.

Baggly

anyone ever read the dc vs marvel graphic novel?

the ending was pretty non committal, but the action throughout was brilliant.

AngryBadger

Batman: Year One
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Ultimates
Green lantern:Rebirth
The Authority Vol. 1

Baggly

ive a soft spot for the old UK TRANSFORMERS stuff. target 2006 to time wars, honestly it wasnt until warren ellis came on the scene that i saw so many likable character get offed in such numbers. plus im pretty sure simon furman was the first guy to get torture scenes into what was up till then a kids book. and i can still read his final run on the marvel US version right up to the final issue,some class touching stuff here (particularly around the seventies)

always loved rogue trooper in 2000ad too and slaine, much prefered them to dread. and just got finished re reading watchmen,goes without saying its a great book seriously hope they dont screw up the movie. have to lend it to a mate of mine to see what hes missing.

in terms of the US ive been kind of spoiled. my brother was collecting at the time so i got my hands on clairmont and byrnes x-men (phoenix saga) , byrnes fantastic four with the whole trial of galactus/reed richards thing, simonsons thor (the surtwar stuff) and iron man (the alco years:D )

oddly enough some of the stuff i really liked will never make most people list. one of which is ROM;SPACEKNIGHT, dont ask me why but i really took to this and the whole hybrid story was damn freaky . toss in shogun warriors and strikeforce morituri (DONT ask me to spell that right:) ) and you pretty much get an idea of what i was reared on.

its amazing to see how much diversity was knocking around back then. pity everything nowadays seems to be a clone or knockoff

DoctorEdgeWild

I have to agree that Rogue Trooper is a great read. It never really got too popular either so hopefully they won't butcher it into a film although I wouldn't put anything past them at this stage.

I got The Jungle a while ago and found it to be an amazing read. It's basically a graphic interpretation of the classic Upton Sinclair book which was basically a promotional tale about socialism. Its drawn by Peter Kuper and the art is so appropriate to the atmosphere of the story. I saw it for 2 pounds over in Newcastle a while back and I'd recommend it to anyone on here. More info HERE

With you 100 % Sinister Dexter and slaine in particular have been brilliant of late

Man I just found an old cardboard box up the attic with a pile of yellowed 2000ad's in it , anyone remember DR and Quinch , Halo Jones , and Sam Spade Robo Hunter ? ( Thats the one with the Gun toting Baby smoking a Cigar for a Sidekick ) .

constitutionus

lord, isnt it mad to think that we use to be able to get stories by alan moore on a weekly basis back then:D used to love robohunter, particularly that time they stuck him in rehab:D although i always prefered the ABC warriors and nemisis warlock (torqueamada was just a totally ****ed up bad guy,and the kevin smith art :cool: ) hell even the old strontium dog was cool:)

though that said, always had a soft spot for "future shocks", it was like the comics version of the twilight zone

This would also be one of my favourites, some of the story arcs that they were creating between the War Within story and the ongoing G1 series were pretty cool - the artwork was also great - problem is that unless IDW get the license to finish those stories we'll never know what happened - also there was a huge nostalgia value to it

constitutionus ive a soft spot for the old UK TRANSFORMERS stuff.

It looks like IDW are re-printing some of these as monthly issues - I would imagine that many of these will be Furmans stories seeing as he is currently writing the current series for them.


other faves:
Batman: Dark Knight Returns
Watchmen
2000 AD - Rouge Trooper (both incarnations)
2000 AD - ABC Warriors (the series about 'fruits of chaos' or something)
2000 AD - Button Man
Preacher
