Sandman #9

Wonderful story.

 

Could have stood on it's own. But to follow up with a major arc some time later and in such a great way just sealed this for me.

One of THE best Spider man stories ever!

 

This goes without saying… But he said "single issue" – that is a three part story.

This.

FF # 51 comes close, but ASM #33 has it all.

If we can quote story arcs there would be many… I thought the original intent was to have a single issue… :shrug:

I have a collection of the greatest one shot stories (not part of arcs) ever... trying to find it but in the mean time these two issues from same story were the best, most impactful thing I read as a kid and they still hit me when I read them today (I dont care what retconning has happened)

 

 

and I thought wow cant imagine another comic hitting so hard and then...

FF 51, then.

 

(ASM 33 is my favorite individual issue ever, but I see your point that it is part of a 3 issue arc).

Oh, of course if quoted as single issue stories they work too. (thumbs u

 

One of mine would undoubtedly be FF #214, more than FF#51 for the simple reason I did not happen to read it until recently.

Man, I knew the Torch would have found a way, but I probably cried. Seeing a centenarian Reed Richards awakened from cryogenic chamber whose heart could fail any minute, trying to put together an antidote ray-gun through micro-solderings since Johnny was unable to do so… and then seeing Johnny apparently failing…

several issue of Miller's DD I love (can't pick one)

 

DD 181 of course , then DD 190 at the end I really like

I stopped DD when he left the first time but luckily heard he was returning to the character in time to pick up Born Again and Elektra Assassin off the stands
