Favorite Copper Arc

[Epcomics]

What was your favorite arc to take place in the Copper Age? Whether a story arc or an artists run, it doesn't matter.

 

Mine is Walt Simonsons run on Thor, I re-read it the other day and it's still fantastic.

Miller's Born Again, well at least until Nuke entered the picture.

[Rodey]

Mutant Massacre in X-men

[Point Five]

New Teen Titans #28-44 & Annual #3 (the whole Terra storyline, give or take an issue or two). It made such an impression on me at the time. Excellent writing & artwork, with depth of characterization rarely equalled in comics.

 

But nostalgia aside, it's hard to think of copper arcs much better than Miller's Born Again and Year One storylines.

Batman: Year One.

[Lebowski]

Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man (#1-26, I think it was). Especially issue #5, "The Coyote Gospel." A haunting allegorical tale starring a Wile E. Coyote character. Imaginative work. The whole run dissected the relationship between character, author, and audience.

That was a great storyline, but wouldnt that be modern, not copper?

Infinity Gauntlet!

No, it started in the late-80's.

Your right JC, 1988 (thumbs u

[Jeffro.]

I love the Avengers Masters of Evil arc where they invade and take over the mansion.

[Kraken's Lair]

Nostalgic pick - The Capture of Cobra Commander stoyline in Marvel's GI Joe. Or just about any arc from the first 100 issues of that book.

 

Runner-up and holds up a little better - The original Punisher mini-series by Grant/Zeck.

The Great Darkness Saga. LOSH 290-294. A great cosmic, all-encompassing storyline, with a ton of history and a lot of really unique concepts in the DC universe

Mutant Massacre in X-men

Love that one as well as Secret Wars. Those are two of my favorite.

[500Club]

Titans 28-44, annuals 2,3. Wolfman and Perez hit all the right notes with this run, and these issues were the high water mark.

 

Loved 'Born Again' as well, but, like JC said, the Nuke plot piece seemed to ruin the rhythm of the story.

 

Byrne's FF was great as well...

[Rommin]

I recently re-read those Thor issues as well, and I have to agree.

 

I wanted to add something from Nexus, but really, the entire series would have to be present and that doesn't help much. Ditto with Grendel. Although, speaking of Grendel, I will submit Mage and the "Devil By The Deed" Grendel back ups in them. So that's a two-fer!

 

The Paul Smith run (as short as it was) on Doctor Strange is another good un.

[Silver Surfer]

The Matsers of Evil was awesome written by Stern and drawn by my favorite (Buscema) but the Simonson Thor's were top notch. I actually liked the arc through issues #370-382 the best. Just a taste, I love posting a few pages of this brilliant arc. Killer movie plot or what?

 

 

[nickwire]

bats yr1, the terra story in teen titans and the whole rocketeer saga, brilliant

[Schmakt]

Secret Wars was cool, but I don't think it holds up today...

 

was the TMNT City at War arc a Copper tale?

mmmmm...

[NewWorldOrder]

TMc Spider-man Run.

 

The reason I started to collect comics!
