BYRNE, MILLER or MCFARLANE?

X-MEN 108-143

DD Miller.

[nickwire]

miller dd for sure. i think it takes alot more talent to make daredevil classic than it does to make xmen brillance. you have way more to work with on the xmen.

[AnthaiHERO]

even though i'm a big spidey fan an instincts suggest mcfarlane's, it was miller's work on daredevil that had a larger impact and actually got me into dd books.

X-MEN 108-143

I can't vote because I'm torn between the Byrne and McFarlane. The collector in me says Byrne- his work with Claremont is (in my opinion) the pinnacle of all that is X-Men. It was McFarlane, however, whose art I fell in love with as a kid and propelled Spidey to the front of my collection (next to Batman and X-Men). While Miller did breathe life into DD, I still never got into that character completely. Now... if you were to have suggested Miller's Year One, well, then we'd definitely have a 3 way tie.

 

And regarding the debate from 4 years ago on Ditko and Romita... well, let's just agree that each has his place as part of the foundational pillars upon which all that is good in Spidey-dom rests itself.

I'll needa say Millers DD I would, because well, I never read it.

 

Any other time make mine Todd McFarlane

[G.A.tor]

miller, then byrne...I don't even consider mcfarlane...

Claremont X Men was where my vote went. Fair enough putting the Miller DD's but the Mcfarlane Spideys aren't even comparable .

A better run to try would have been Stan & Jack's Fantastic Four # 35 - 67. Now that was a comic run that was ground breaking .

[kidcolt]

Can I vote other and put my vote on Byrne's FF run?

[followtheleader]

Definitely Miller's DD. Just read it for the 1st time!

 

A close second is the X-men run. Two of the best runs, IMO, in history.

 

McFarlane is super far behind. Maybe from an artistic perspective. But not from a reading perspective.

Miller's DD run is my pick. I own every issue

[Earl Davis]

Went for DD but X-Men is not far off.

Never understood what people saw in Mcfarlane's artwork.

[NewWorldOrder]

Never understood what people saw in Mcfarlane's artwork.

 

Most people saw how heads of the times he was. His corky style and has amazing detail.

 

The reason I am into comics is because of his artwork. I was 9 nine years old and just picked up an issue of ASM and thought "wow this is what comics look like!"

 

After his run its touch for me to actually like anyone else who draws Spdiy!!

[NewWorldOrder]

Byrne/Clarmont's run was both goundbreaking and in my opinion saved the X-men Franchise, and not to say DD Miller's run didn't accomplish similar status, I just think the stories were more classic.

 

Even though TMc is my favorite comic artist of all time, his Spidy run was artistically amazing but the stories were not as good as DD or the x-men run.

 

nuff said!!!

Had to go with the DD run...

 

I grew up with the late 180s to early 200s Uncanny X-men . Only read some of the Claremont/Bryne X-men from Classic X-men.

[Inhuman Fiend]

Byrne X-men...but Miller DD was a close second. They got me reading both X-Men and Daredevil at around the same time (1978/79) when neither title had interested me before...

[Inhuman Fiend]

Oh and my add-in vote for a close third place was Bob Layton's run on Iron Man...he got me hooked on shell-head as well! (thumbs u
