UPDATED POLL, which is the best SA Marvel superhero title?

[conditionfreak]

ASM

FF

X-Men

 

Avengers would have been fourth.

But I'm a pretty big fan of Heck.

So YOU`RE the one!

Fantastic Four

Journey Into Mystery

Amazing Spiderman

 

FF, the first and the greatest, Lee and Kirby at the top of their game. Cosmic hoo-hah plus a real family that bickered and fought, and sometimes went storming out to cool off. Real life mirrored in a fantastically entertaining series.

 

Thor gets #2 for the sheer cosmic scope, with Lee dishing out faux mythology that really sang to me, and Kirby putting everything from mundane street scenes to...well, to the Entire Universe Plus Valhalla down on his bristol board for the world to share.

 

Amazing Spidey cops third, mostly for the 40+ stories by Lee and Ditko. Eerie, moody, sometimes downright creepy, and featuring the growth of a glasses-wearing nebbish into a truly heroic young man. Post-Ditko had some highlights too, including Gwen and Mary Jane, and the Kingpin...but much beyond issue 50 or so it got to be too soap opera for my taste.

 

Honorable mention:

 

Avengers

Issues 1 thru issue 60 or so. Some solid storytelling in there, and some nice art too. I don't care what anyone says, Don Heck on this title looks great! But not as consistantly entertaining as the three listed above

 

Strange Tales

Thing and Torch carrying on, FF guest appearances, eventually replaced with Nick Fury and the gang at SHIELD, great stuff! Plus the oddest take ever on magic, Ditko's Doctor Strange is just...awesome. But as mentioned above, any number of clinker villains, and some inconsistent storytelling keep this title out of the top tier

Yeah, but I've seen the shirts you wear to Cons, so your taste is in question

May I ask why?

[Icculus308win]

 

His hand was behind some of my favorite characters for a spell.

[Hibou]

If I knew how to create a poll I would...

 

Don Heck or George Tuska

 

My vote would go to Don Heck.

[Ted Knight]

I don't think the guy gets enough respect. It has nothing to do with SA Marvel but his covers for Horrific are pretty memorable.
