I have to go with the Dark Phoenix Saga as my favorite story. I love it so much that, even though I have the original single issues, I bought the trade paperback and gave it to my wife and asked her to read it. She had never read a comic book before, so she was hesitant at first. After I bugged her for a while, she decided to humor me. She started reading it at home and quickly got so into it that she started bringing it to work and reading it at lunch. Before I knew it we were discussing the storyline during car rides. It was pretty awesome. I married a good woman! lol

i was 15/16 when Crisis on Infinite Earths came out, and was reading it each month. It was everything I ever wanted in a comic book story. I was working a summer job as a bank teller and was reading Crisis #7 in between customers and was so choked up when Supergirl died I was trying to hold it together for the customers. When people ask me who my favorite character is, I kinda want to say "the DC universe/multiverse" because it's really the entirety of the thing that I love so much.

X-Factor # 87 has been my long-time go-to for a perfect issue. The team sits down with a psychologist to address some of their recent traumas. Humanizes the whole team in a wonderful way, especially Quicksilver, which is really unexpected. Peter David and Joe Quesada at their finest. A longer and more recent bit of perfection is Tom King and Mitch Gerad’s Mr. Miracle series. They hit all the emotions with that one.

Marvels (1994) and it is interesting because one of the major events in this mini-series was Gwen Stacey-oriented. The Alex Ross art was amazing but the story of a man having an existential crisis in a world of superheroes was very affective. Its one of those reads that rewards you on re-reading as you get older and you relate more to Phil Sheldon. Disney/Marvel should make this a movie or prestige streaming miniseries. If done right it could win Awards.

One of the comic books that got me to really start collecting comics is Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. This story was exactly what I wanted to read because I always knew about the Dc universe but to actually read a story that is basically the end of the DC universe in a conclusion sort of way was really fascinating to me. Also this story is what got me to love my favorite artist Alex Ross who is so passionate and skillful in his artwork that it just makes you want to sit there and look at the panels for hours.

As someone else mentioned, Swamp Thing 34 - 50 "American Gothic" is fantastic, one of Alan Moore's greatest stories. Right up there with Watchmen, From Hell, The Killing Joke, V for Vendetta, etc. Along with the wonderful artwork of John Totleben and Steven Bissette.

Spider-Man vs. Wolverine. A great story, dark and stark contrast between Wolverine and Spider-Man. Their views and how they respond to the story. It also gives a hint to Wolverine's vast history. The art is top tier story telling. Finally, the suicide by cop manipulation is the chef's kiss to the end of the fight. It's affordable and a must own book by both Wolverine or Spider-Man fans.

Spiderman Blue is so good, as is just about everything Loeb and Sale collaborated on. Gaiman's Sandman is my perfect comic book story. It's so epic and involved and it feels like it's one singular work, which is hard to pull off over that many issues.

Great idea for a video! Nice list! Favorite stories: Days Of Future Past, Long Halloween, Watchmen and Marvels. Favorite standalone issue: Many (LOL), but one that will likely not be mentioned by anyone else: Legends Of The Dark Knight #58. In an anthology series full of 3-5 issue standalone stories, it was a 1-issue story that, while somewhat derivative, was still well written and with very nice artwork (great underrated cover too).

My favorite single issue is Saga of the Swamp Thing 21. It’s a retcon that makes so much sense and opens up so many possibilities, while still completely respecting everything that came before. For a run, I’d have to go off the beaten path and pick Simon Furman’s original Transformers run, 56-80. I was reading it in junior high and high school, and it kept me invested in the Transformers long after I should have lost interest. It basically created a lore for the Transformers.

For myself James, I read it 40 years ago when it came off the stand. The Amazing Spider-man #248 backup story, The kid who collects Spider-man. For those who never read it, definitely one that shocked a young boy 40 years ago and one that resonates still to this day as I'm sure it was my first discussion on that horrible disease. The last panel really pulls at the heart strings and as a proud dad of of 2 older teens, hits home. One of the main reasons I still collect to this day. I'm going to have to check out some of your suggestions. Thanks and have a great day.

My favorite comic story was the Jim Starlin Warlock series of the 1970s: Strange Tales #178-181, Warlock #9-15, Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two In One Annual #2. The story of Warlock’s struggle with his future self, the Magus, and his ultimate death as well as the death of Thanos, a timeless classic. I also note a very funny scene in Two in One where Thing is reading Salems Lot. I won’t spoil it. Another series, often mentioned, the Dark Phoenix saga. For single issue stories, Amazing Spider-Man Annuals #14 and 15 were both terrific stories by Frank Miller, one had the Punisher, the other had Dr Strange. I think I liked the Dr Strange issue better. I can recommend others, but that’s my picks for now. Thanks Edit I have to edit this in. Forgive my lean into the Bronze Age, and I confess that I have a sentimental attachment to this book. It was the first comic book I saved to begin my collection in 1974 at age 8. But this book is perfect in so many ways. Batman #255 was a Dc 100 page super spectacular with several awesome stories. Story 1 was the “new” story at the time. Art by Neal Adams and Batman vs a werewolf. Need i say more to tell you it was great. Story #2 was a reprint from the early Silver Age, one which was important to Batman continuity prior to Crisis. Batman learns that his father once wore a Batman costume. He learns that Joe Chill was not just a random thief who killed his parents but was hired by Lew Moxin to kill them… and Batman tracks down Moxin who dies at the end of the story. (I love stories that provide new details to origins, especially when they can fit it with the original story without retcon) The next reprint stories featured Alfred and Robin fighting a bizarre villain called Crazy Quilt. Just weird fun. Finally, the last story was a reprint from the 1960s where Batman and Robin fought the Outsider, an awesome villain. The story had a surprise ending I won’t reveal. This issue is one I highly recommend buying and reading. It’s generally pretty affordable.

I own and have read “Spider-Man: Blue” #1-6, Hawkeye #11 and the entire “The Walking Dead” series - albeit in compendium form, and I fully agree with James that they are amazing. “The Walking Dead” series, in particular, is so amazing that it definitely in my top 3, if not number one. One can probably pick up all four compendiums for less than $150 on the secondary market - and it is worth every penny. You can also pick up the trades at your local library; which is what I would do as they were released every six months instead of every four years like the compendiums. Thanks for this list, James. It reminded me of a few things I had been meaning to eventually read. 👍

Some people may say the ending is what does not make it perfect but I'd disagree because the ending is the exact thing that makes you think, talk and have discussions and conversations about it with fellow comic book fans which at the end of the day is the whole point, sharing our love of comics with each other.

Loved Tom King’s Mister Miracle run. Silver Surfer Requiem was one I picked up off the shelf based just on the cover art and I was so glad that I did.

I started reading comics in college and Donny Cate's Thanos wins is the run that got me hooked.

Amazing Spider-Man 136-137. Harry Osborne becomes the Green goblin. The build up is great and I remember reading it as a kid thinking this is pretty heavy stuff.

Supernatural Thrillers #3: The Valley of the Worm. Read this comic if you have not had the chance. Roy Thomas and Gil Kane excellence! This 20-page one-shot could easily be turned into a 3-hour movie epic. Shockingly good, how dense this is without sacrificing any flow. Check it out!

Ultimate Spider-Man is the greatest comic series I’ve ever read. Captures the character of Peter Parker perfectly.

Batman/ Vengeance of Bane is my all time best story. The book captivated me towards Bane. His life and struggle in prison and later his interest in Batman and the mercy Batman would show to others. Truly one of the best stories and artwork in the DC universe!

Skreemer (and specially the last issue in the series) is not only a gut punch but also blew my mind when I read for the first time. Peter Milligan is such an underrated writer, one of the most consistent and versatile of them all.

Jeff Lemire's The Underwater Welder was great the first time I read it, and as I approach fatherhood myself I understood the full scope of it even better on the 2nd read. An absolutely perfect masterpiece!

Hickmans Fantastic Four run. He nails the family dynamics and for me personally ha two of my favorite scenes in comics. First when Thor and Hulk allow Thing to fight them after the death of Johnny Storm because they can take what he needs to let out. second when Franklin saves the day while Nathaniel Richards explains it was only possible because Every boy deserves a father

The Spectre by Ostrander is one of my favorite runs of all time. I have been wanting an omni set of the series for years.

Maybe not a perfect single issue, but perfect for me. Master of Kung Fu Annual #1. Loved it as a kid. Read it and re-read it. I do not know what happened to my original, but I bought another copy a few years ago and I still love it and glad I have it again!! If you want me to say a perfect series / story, there is not enough love for Fables. I own every issue and loved the storyline all the way to the end. I watched Walking Dead until the bitter end, but it got really bad. The comic series is perfect. I have the whole series in trades and LOVE it!!

ASM Vol. 1 31-33 is my favorite. Spidey changed in an important way. Agree with your Spectre pick. Also love the Spectre run in Adventure Comics. Green Lantern O'Neil/Adams run. TWD was what got me back into comics, so have to agree with you on that one as well.

One of my recent all time favorites is Far Sector. It’s just a fun, stand alone, murder mystery in space. Even if you’d never hear of Green Lantern, it would still be a great read! The writer, N.K. Jemisin is an award winning Sci-Fi/ Fantasy author who wrote one of my favorite Sci-Fi books:The Fifth Season.
