Shark Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Amazing Spider-Man #33. Probably my all-time favorite Spidey issue. This issue alone does the best job of symbolizing the constant struggle Peter Parker/Spider-Man has to go through every day of his life. Being pinned under the massive machine, trying to reach the health serum to help his sick Aunt May, never giving up until he literally throws the giant machine off and swimming to safety. I actually believe this issue had an effect on my life when I was a kid. It gave me that "never say never" attitude; that I could always do something to make my life and the lives around me better by never giving up hope. shark2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Pike Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I would have to say Dark Knight 1-4,FF 51,ASM 39-40 and X Men 135-137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_allan Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 As a kid, I'd have to say ASM 300. I'd read Spidey comics before that, but it became a singular obsession at that point in my childhood. As an adult, no doubt it's Boy Comics 19. Best comic story ever. So bizarre.

akaSteveRogers Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 It's cool that there is such a wide variation of "best" comics! I was expecting one issue to really stand out (Mind you not too many people have commented yet) All of these books are added to my "reader copy" to buy list Cap 332, 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney414 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) Lots of really good books listed so far. I'd add the Mutant Massacre from X-Men 210-213. I think some people are looking for some more books off the beaten path that they may have never heard of so here are 4 of my favorite lesser known books with pictures: THOR #385: BEST HULK vs. THOR fight ever!!! Period. I read this book 1,000 times as a kid. The inside is drawn by Eric Larsen of Spider-Man & Savage Dragon fame, but it's early work of his and looks awesome. Fight starts on pg. 5 and lasts the whole issue. At one point the Hulk throws a train on Thor. Great stuff. CAPTAIN AMERICA #367: The "Acts of Vengeance" storyline. In this issue MAGNETO fights the RED SKULL for revenge (since Magneto spent time in the Nazi death camps). Red Skulls fate at the hands of Magneto at the end is the perfect ending. Awesome issue. DAREDEVIL #249: WOLVERINE vs. DAREDEVIL fight. Basically, there is this villian committing hate crimes against mutants. Daredevil wants him to get a fair trial, while Wolverine wants to kill him. Very strong artwork. AMAZING SM #274: This is one of my all time favorite Spider-Man issues, since it really gets to the heart of Spidey. Don't be fooled by the Secret Wars 2 crossover label. It starts with Mephisto and the Beyonder arguing over the value of a human life and whether or not the Beyonder should just destroy the world. They then make a bet that involves Spider-Man. Basically, Spidey has no idea this is going on. He over hears that someone is going to assasinate the Kingpin. So the Beyonder sends a demon to try and discourage Spidey from saving him. However, in the end Spidey values life, even that of his enemies, and does everything in his power to stop the assasination. Very cool issue that tells the story of how heroic Spidey really is.
