Number 6 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don’t know that it’s my all-time favorite, but I always really enjoyed the Alan Moore Clayface story in Batman Annual #11. The zinger in the last panel always makes me smile. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcityduck Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Some of the Miller DD choices aren't really single issue stories, but this one is, and IMHO its the best (love the Krigstein homage as well): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Men 137, 141 and 142 definitely are not standalones. I would submit for consideration some personal favorites: Daredevil #208 - The Deadliest Night of My Life. Daredevil has a really bad night in a house of horrors set up by the mother of one of his deceased enemies. The most memorable DD issue for me personally after #181 and #227. Conan #24 - The Song of Red Sonja. Conan and Red Sonja go thieving together and the Cimmerian gets played big time. My favorite Conan issue ever. G.I. Joe #21 - Silent Interlude. Scarlett is captured by Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes comes to rescue her. Larry Hama out-Sterankos Steranko; my favorite Joe issue ever. Thor #356 - The Power and the Pride. Hercules hilariously recounts a story about him and Thor which casts the latter in a terrible light, not realizing that he's making a bullied kid's situation worse. Will he get a clue in time??? A funny and touching story. Edited August 5, 2019 by delekkerste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delekkerste Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Some other personal faves: Uncanny X-Men #268 - Madripoor Knights. Black Widow's mission in Madripoor in the present day recalls the adventure she had as a kidnapped child there in 1941 when Captain America and Logan saved her from the Nazis and the Hand. My favorite issue from the last 5 years or so of Claremont's run. The Nam #9 - Pride Goeth... One of the principal characters dies. Marvel Team-Up #79 - Sword of the She-Devil. A museum artifact brings Kulan Gath and Red Sonja (hosted by the bodies of a security guard and Mary Jane Watson, respectively) into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the present day and Spidey must save the day. Gorgeous John Byrne artwork. Moon Knight #26 - Hit It! The death of an abused boy's father sets off the now grown-up man to go on a hitting/punching spree as he makes his way to the funeral parlor where his father's body lies and where he is stopped by Moon Knight. Some amazing art by Sienkiewicz, who blends in children's drawings and rock and jazz images along with more regular superhero fare in this story about the vicious circle of violence.

NoMan Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think Sienkiewicz's later work (as he found a style before going completely off the rails - think Elektra miniseries or JFK assassination trading cards.) on MK (like #26) leave the impression the entire (1st) run was good. It wasn't. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't. The werewolf storyline was a high point in the series. I like Sienkiewicz’s artwork throughout, but Moench’s scripts were mostly okay reads, hardly exceptional.
