ThothAmon Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’m a Wolverine fan also but second place goes to Secret Wars. Jayman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post comiconxion Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'll vote for the Punisher - launched him to be the most popular Marvel character of the 80's (up there with Wolverine). Hard to top that. mec3437, waaaghboss, Von Cichlid and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Cichlid Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 For me it's a tie between the Punisher and Wolverine mini-series for sure. Both proved that each character could easily carry not only one but multiple ongoing titles, MCP serving as a defacto 2nd title for Wolverine. 2nd place pretty clearly has to be Secret Wars. In 4th place I got a tie between Longshot (really for the art alone) and Kitty Pride and Wolverine (underrated IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post boatfund Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 While Wolverine, Punisher and Secret Wars were probably the best selling - I enjoyed others vastly more. I bought many mini series at the time but not all - here were my favorites: Hawkeye Hercules Prince of Power Majik Vision and the Scarlet Witch West Coast Avengers tvindy, Readcomix, mec3437 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Secret Wars. Full-stop. The Wolverine and Punisher miniseries were great and helped cement the popularity of both characters as superstars. But Secret Wars was a seminal all-universe event that's been repeated every 5-10 years since - from (gag!) Secret Wars II to Acts of Vengeance to Infinity Gauntlet to Civil War, etc. icp004 and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyfan68 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Wolverine 1-4, I loved that mini-series as a kid. I wasn't a huge Wolverine fan but that character with Frank Miller at the height of his superpowers at Marvel and Claremont writing, it's a slam dunk for me.

shadroch Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Black Dragon is my favorite, with Squadron Supreme and Hercules also making the podium. jjonahjameson11 and Brock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember loving the ideas, not sure on the actual dialogue. I should give it a look again soon. For the record, it has my vote for favorite. With the Nightcrawler mini by Cockrum a close second. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love (early) Adams artwork, the only story I really liked where he did the interior was the Asgardian Wars. Everything else was always Mojo and X-Babies it seemed, which I was never really that much of a fan of other than Spiral. I need to try and read Web of Spider-Man annual 2 again. Maybe it was good, but I can't remember what happened in that one. Ken Aldred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
