Just read the "Born Again" TPB, what Marvel TPB is also a "Must Read"?

[ThoseBackPages]

Would love to get input on what else from Marvel's TPB releases are absolute must reads.

 

Dark Phoniex comes to mind. What else?

 

Thanks for your input,

Eric

Marvel Masterworks Iron Fist, collecting MARVEL Premiere 15 through 25 and Iron Fist 1 and 2

 

Some of the best storytelling of the Bronze Age.

Oops. Just noticed this is the copper section not the Bronze. Well, what the hell, Iron Fists origin is a still a great read!

I don't know if it is trade or not, but the Masters of Evil Saga was really good too. A Warlock trade or Thanos Saga trade would be awesome.

 

Batman Year One was great. Swamp Thing from 20-60. Whoops, those are DC, but they rule.

The Death of Captain Marvel is probably my pick for the most emotionally charged story I have ever read. I remember "tearing up" when I read that one.

Anything by Starlin is a great choice! (thumbs u

Don't know how I forgot Squadron Supreme.

If we're allowing the 80s Marvel Graphic Novels in here, then the other classic inclusion has to be

 

'X-Men : God Loves, Man Kills'.

Oh yeah! You don't hear much mention of it, but those early issues were very good.

The Byrne FF stuff is really good.
