Are there any #2's that are better than #1?

[Point Five]

I don't know if it's "better", but a couple of my Spider-Man loving friends cite ASM #2 as their favorite issue. I agree with them that The Vulture is a more compelling villain than is The Chameleon.

Wandering off-topic a little, but for me ASM #7 (2nd Vulture) is one of the early highlights of the Lee/Ditko run, and one that got me hooked on the SA run when I read it in Marvel Tales reprints in the 80s. The Vulture, Jameson, Betty, Peter/Spidey, lots of drama and humor intermingled. Somehow all the Spidey elements just click in that issue.

Ugh I thought AV2 was terrible I like FF2 though!

 

+1. I'm not even a fan of Avengers 1 tho , it has awful writing and let's face it, it's the first appearance of no one. Most over rated SA book IMO. Avengers #4 = great tho.

Um, no. Maybe I should've said "second coming" rather than "second appearance."

 

.....you get points in my book for that...... that was a most clever inference that I did not see coming GOD BLESS...

That's a good one.

FF 2 was better than one,also Atom 2 was better than the Plant Master story in number one!

Although it is not Silver Age, New Teen Titans #2 is better than #1.

Thanks, but I'm an atheist (and tempted to change my sig file to match yours proselytization for proselytization!) so I probably shouldn't be in your book at all

 

And, of COURSE you didn't see it coming! No man shall know the hour, and all that, right?

 

 

I thought the first one was clever, but this was even better! Love an atheist who knows his scripture.

Swamp Thing #1 vs. House of Secrets #92

Depending on the day, my #2s can be much more satisfying than my #1s. However, it really all comes down to whether or not I had enough fiber the day before. Oh and asparagus.
