What marvel books are best to read?

joncasso

Ive been a dc fan for so long that i have only read 2 books from marvel (x-23 and jason aarons wolverine). can anyone give me good recommendations on any marvel books new and old to read?

nweathington

Current stuff: Daredevil, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier.

Fantastic Four is better than its been in decades. I heartily recommend the entire Hickman run starting at Dark Reign (plus the FF spin-off)

daredevil, ironman, hawkeye, wiinter soldier, capt america & ___.

well, i agree with Daredevil and Hawkeye. Give Captain Marvel a crack, i'm enjoying that, too.

It depends on your tastes. The book I'd suggest to anyone, straight up, is Brubaker's Captain America stuff. His Daredevil run was fun too, as was Iron Fist with Fraction/Aja.

You can't go wrong with Bendis on Ultimate Spidey, Hickman on anything with the Fantastic Four, Grant Morrison's New X-Men, Remender's Uncanny X-Force, and the Whedon/Cassaday Astonishing X-Men run. Might also be worth checking out The Runaways and Young Avengers.

Man, there's a lot of good Marvel stuff when I think about it, and I'm missing a lot too.

Get BKV's Runaways...
Whedon's Astonishing,.. Brubaker's Cap... (him and) Fraction's Iron Fist...
Peter David's Xfactor...
DnA's marvel cosmic work...
Ennis' Punisher...

Pretty much anything collected in a Marvel Premiere HC is worth checking out. Everything from the Korvac Saga to Infinity Gauntlet to Torment to Child of Light, Child or Darkness, to Full Circle, to Proteus, to God Loves, Man Kills to Elektra:Assassin.

Yeah, completely a matter of personal taste. We can point you at things that have proved popular over the years and that seem to have a broad appeal to a large number of people but really all you can do is jump in and see what strikes your fancy. (although if The Immortal Iron Fist doesn't strike your fancy you may need to see a therapist for help immediately)

Avengers Academy is one of my favorites that is out right now, and it's featuring X-23 right now so it might be up your alley.

Amazing Spider-Man is a very solid book along with Hawkeye, Winter Soldier and Captain Marvel.

SolitaireRose

Essential Fantastic Four volumes 2 - 4. Lee and Kirby at their peak, and STILL a lot of fun to read, just start in Vol. 2 with the Inhumans, which is where Kirby's creativity took off like a rocket!

Matt Fraction's Iron Fist. don't think brubaker ever swam in that particular pool.

joncasso

It says he wrote it with fraction for the first 12 or so but that alone with names like that on it I'll defenitly read it

Chuck_Melville

Brubaker was very much involved in getting the Iron Fist book off and running a couple of years ago. I remember hearing an interview with him about it.

random73

huh. my bad.

joncasso

damn right! Lol jk

random73

in my head that is totally Fraction's book. well, not the first time i've been wrong.

joncasso

But they are both great writers so either way they make most things amazing

I just read Fury Max #1, and it was good. Other stuff I'd recommend that hasn't been mentioned yet is Journey Into Mystery and Uncanny X-men.

JCB

I forgot Thor: The Might Avenger. Which is the most fun Marvel book I have ever read. -swoon-

Dan Slott has written so Amazing Spider-Man stories, pun intended. He really seems to love writing the character and it so shows in his work.

random73

so go back to the start of his run and pick up some back issues?

joncasso

Dan slott said all he ever wanted to do in his career was to write spiderman

random73

that is a nice spot to be in.

Daredevil, Fantastic Four & FF.

Uncanny X-Force and Winter Soldier. As for the rest, we have to wait until after the start of MarvelNOW!

The only Marvel book I am reading is Daredevil, but I like it.
