What's your Favorite Marvel Story?

With such tales as X-Men: Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man: Death of Gwen Stacy, and Civil War, Marvel Comics provides a wealth of amazing stories. What are some your favorites?

Onslaught
Age of Apocolypse

Spider-Girl: Season of the Serpent is a great read. Its got that classic late 80's/early 90's Spidey feel but with boobies! And 100% more "final battle" nut kicking!

The original Squadron Supreme miniseries.

If that doesn't count, then probably Marvels.

As far as trades that I own, I'd say House of M and Civil War, if not Secret Invasion.

Yes, I am a NOOB.

Dark Phoenix
Spidey's symbiote arc
Kraven's Last Hunt
The Trial of Reed Richards
When the Masters of Evil invaded the Avengers mansion
Infinity Gauntlet

Yeah, I've read lots of Marvel.

Marvels
The Death of Gwen Stacy
Spider-Man: Blue
Dark Phoenix Saga
Wolverine (1982)

...just to name a few.

And I think I'm the only living person who loved Apocalypse: The Twelve.

Thor: The Surtur Saga

Warlock and the infinity Watch, Thor, Silver Surfer: Blood and thunder
Blood and thunder was so great. Thanos vs Odin, Thor vs Drax, and Thor just cleaning everyone's clocks. Besides the action there was a lot of other stuff going, the investigation into why Thor was going nuts, this arc added so much to the Thor Mythos, and much of it was never commented on again.

The Infinity Guantlet

LOVED Squadron Supreme. If memory serves, Gruenwald's final work before his death. His ashes were mixed with the ink of the first printing of the trade.

Avengers: Under Siege is definately one of my favorites; not so much for its plot, but just its sheer level of awesomeness.

Not quite. SS was published in '85-'86, and Mark died in '96. The second bit is true, though.

My favorite single issue story is from Amazing Spider-Man 350. It was just such a great dynamic between Spidey and Doom, that my copy is falling apart. Its a story I read over and over through the years that just perfectly highlights what makes Doom such a good antagonist and Spider-Man the best underdog.

Oh man there are so many, I'll start off with Spider-Man
Death of Gwen Stacy
The Wedding
Kraven's Las Hunt
Symbiote saga
First appearence of Venom
First apperence of Carnage
Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1-12 (FAVORITE!!!)
Ultimate Spider-Man #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 13, 22, 25, 43, 50, 53, 100, and Annuals 1 and 3.
Spider-Man Blue.
Black Cat/Spider-Man The Evil Men Do #1-3. 4-6 were okay...
Amazing Spider-Man #50 (volume two)
Amazing Spider-Man #500

Hahaha n00b. Everyone point and laugh!

No... point, laugh, and throw things! ...Also urinate!

So many to choose. This isn’t original, but Dark Phoenix was a landmark. When I was a kid, I could barely wait for the month to fly by.

Miller's DD/Elektra/Bullseye/Kingpin arc.

I loved Starlin's Warlock & the Avengers/2-in-1 Annuals that concluded the story.

Yes, I’m old.

Age of Apocalypse
Thor: Ragnarok
Annihilation
Planet Hulk

No Particular order.


X-Men vs Kulan Gath -- Uncanny 188-191

Bloodstone Hunt -- Captain America 357-364

Armor Wars -- Iron Man 225-231

Marvels

Rise of the Midnight Sons

Welcome Back, Frank.

Mutant Massacre -- Uncanny X-Men 210-213, New Mutants 46, X-Factor 9-11, Thor 373-374, Power Pack 27

Asgardian Wars -- X-Men/Alpha Flight 1-2, New Mutants Special 1, Uncanny Annual 9

Cross-Time Caper -- Excalibur 12-24

God Loves, Man Kills

I LOVE Born Again.

Cross-Time Caper
The Warpie Saga (Captain Britain)
Asgardian Wars (X-Men, New Mutants, Alpha Flight)
Mutant Massacre
Fallen Angels (Why the HELL is this not in trade?)
Inferno (most of it -- I hated what they did to Illyana, but she's back so I forgive them)

Don't read a lot of Marvel but:
Marvel Zombies
Civil War
Loeb and Bianchi's arc on Wolverine where he killed Sabretooth
Marvels
Bendis' Daredevil
Ultimates 1

Civil War will go down in history loved the whole thing
the action,Plot and meaning


But I will always Remember Infinity Gauntlet
It was when I was Young and in my prime Collecting,Seeing all my heroes together was awesome
Like my dad with the Secret War

The house I'm staying at has a pretty good comic book collection. Right now I'm reading The New Avengers: Secrets & Lies.

Spider-Woman

Phalanx Covenant: Generation NeXt, if they make X-Men 4 this should be the plot. All the X-Men have been replaced except for Banshee, Jubilee, Sabretooth and White Queen. It's a kickass story.

If I had to pick one, Infinity Gauntlet. If I could only read one event for the rest of my life, It would be this. It even beats out the X-men stories, that says a lot for me.
