- Marvel Comics march on as the market leader in American superhero comics, despite a lack of quality for a decade. Wes mines the last 6 years of Marvel Comics to find the diamonds in the rough you want to read. The best stories featuring the best heroes and teams Marvel have to offer. Marvel Comics make it very difficult, especially the past 2 years. Which have seen an even steeper decline in quality writing and art. IF you're looking for new Marvel Comics to read, this is the video for you. The best Marvel Comics stories since I started my channel.

Peter David, even while dealing with medical issues, is Marvel's best writer for sure. If they put him on "ASM", that book would immediately be a top-seller again and we'd have some fun stories to read featuring our favorite web-head. Marvel will likely not do this, though. They hate to give fans what we want.
Definitely. I trust him. His books are still enjoyable to this day.
Hulk, X-Factor, Spidey 2099. Amazing runs. I'll take a chance on anything with his name on it.
He's been in really rough shape for a while now, don't think he's been able to work at all. The updates on the gofundme page have been pretty depressing but hopefully he'll get back on his feet soon.
Peter David and patrick Gleason for the next spiderman run needs to happen.
Man I hope Peter David gets healthy soon
When he gets healthy give him the reigns to the entire 2099(just get Orlando off) and a ongoing in 616, give him Spider-Man even
Peter David is awsome
This channel is pure greatness.
I’m enjoying Avengers twilight rn, and I’m gonna start Ryan North’s Fantastic four along with the full circle graphic novel
You should do more lists like this. Modern and old comics. Great stuff
I always like hearing list, especially when they are books that aren’t on everyone else’s list.
💯📠
It’s great that there’s actually a few comics to be put on this list, looking at everything that Marvel currently publishes.
I agree that FULL CIRCLE has been seriously undervalued, underpublicized and really ignored by Marvel, even though it is probably one of the top comic-related projects of the decade. Maybe we could get better product from Marvel if they allowed their characters to be leased out for such unique projects. Alex Ross certainly hit it out of the park with his incredible Lee/Kirby tribute!
Silver Surfer Black! Completely changed my conception of a comic story and got me into single issue comics ever since. Still my favorite mini series ive read
That's your NUMBER one!? wow.. i gotta see that One LOL - fantastic vid brother I'm not gonna speak on this list to prevent spoilers ...
I found Peter David’s old XFactor run. I remember reading them as a kid.
I plan on picking up the omnibus
Great series.
Just liking and commenting to help the algorithm.
No matter what Marvel puts out now I have no interest in it unless it's terrible and I can laugh at Disney and Marvel losing money and destroying themselves with my favorite RUclipsrs.
Have a nice day Wes.
Peace ✌️
Peter David wrote Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, X-Factor, Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man 2099, Aquaman, Supergirl, Young Justice, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Sachs and Violens, and other series I have left out here. He started working for Carol Kalish in the Marvel sales department before breaking in and writing comics. He is one of the best and most consistent writers of the last 35 years. Note: He never has written a major top tier title in his career. No Batman, Amazing Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, or Justice League despite being that damn good and consistent and on time with his stories. WTF20.
So I love old man Hawkeye! I just got the Maestro omnibus and read future imperfect for the first time. I know I m going to love this based on Wes' list!
Maestro is in continuity in so far as it is a possibly future for the Hulk. That's why you have seen Maestro used in different ways since his inception as you can play with the future stories you use him in. Peter David wrote the character for over 10 years, I think he can be said to be the definitive Hulk writer of the late 20th century. He created Maestro so he certainly would be best person to craft the origin story for him. Go read Incredible Hulk Future Imperfect for the 1st appearance of the Maestro where he goes toe to toe against his past self who has been brought to the future to stop his evil despotic future self. Oh yeah some guy name GEORGE PEREZ does the artwork for it. WTF20.
I loved Donney cates on venom and on Thor. king in black was also very fun. my favorite moment was when Knull ripped sentry in half.
This is why eventually Cates will be back. Like him or not, he sells well and has a good hit rate on his books. I enjoyed his Venom run as well. Haven’t read Thor but I liked his Guardians of the Galaxy run (though short) and Silver Surfer: Black. I wouldn’t mind seeing him over at DC. I think he could write a killer Batman.
@@jeffhabib6673 what did he do to get blacklisted anyway i can never find a straight answer
@@vortechx7176 I heard about it but it was so ridiculous that it almost sounds made up. He’s an addict too and got into a car accident while under the influence. But what I heard from the guy at my comic shop was insane and I don’t think it’s in the public. I would rather not say on the off chance that it is true because it’s super embarrassing.
Imo I think king in black is the best event we've had in awhile, knull was written perfectly!
My checkout the Strange Academy sounds interesting
I think Venom made some weird retcons but damn if it isnt a good comic. I agree with you on Absolute Carnage too.
I like what they did with Strange Academy especially considering midway, Doctor Strange supposedly died. At some point I actually thought it could have been the next X-Men.
I knew about Maestro but I honestly didn't know Old Man Hawkeye was that good. I should check it out.
Thanks Wes!
Sounds like I got some reading to do. Thanks for the recommendations Wes✌️
Peter David being #1 made me smile and brought me out of the funk I got after your Acolyte video (U were awesome, Disney sucks lol). He just writes interesting and fun stuff. Wish they’d put him on ASM or let him redeem Ben Reily. Hope his health is continuing to improve
Cates’ Venom is mapped perfectly in the omnibus as the miniseries are put in order. It reads so much better that way.
I have only missed the Killmonger book. You mentioned it a couple of years ago, and I've been looking for it ever since. I liked all the rest. Maybe I would've put Cates' Venom at #5
I too am enjoying Symbiote Spiderman 2099. I became a fan of Peter Davids's writing from the Original Run on Spiderman 2099, which I still am trying to complete. It makes me curious to read the other books he has been on honestly. I may have to give Maestro a read now. That and His Joe fixit run.
You were dead on with your #1. Absolutely the best series to come from Marvel in the last six years. I also really enjoyed many of the flashback series including Danny Ketch Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer/Warlock Rebirth.
Venom by Cates and Stegman, Daredevil by Zdarsky and Chechetto, and that’s all I can think of. I’m digging the current Hulk run by PKJ and have enjoyed a few of the miniseries they’ve been doing dipping back into older continuity. I really like DD: Black Armor for example. I liked some of the Grand Design books too. I’m not much of a Marvel reader though so don’t take my word on anything.
Totally agree on Strange Academy and Maestro. I do need to check out that Killmonger series. My number 1 would be Beta Ray Bill. Venom and Immortal Hulk rounding out the 5. Glad you excluded Daredevil and Moon Knight, which have great art but rip off earlier much better stories.
Stranga academy was really good for me. The writer and artist were both wickedly brilliant. I collected the first and finals. if only marvel managenent left the comic book, writer and artist alone and paid commensurate rates, i would have kept on with strange academy.
Maestro HULK'S ridiculous! Shame on you Wes!😂😎
Ridiculously good!
Lowered expectations....
Awesome work mate
Oh I just realized I bought that Fantastic Four book and never read it yet .
I remember hearing nice things about Hellions.
Hellions is fantastic
I always thought Kate Bishops' call sign should be "Sparrow", it would have given her her own identity and wouldn't have been so graon and eye-roll enducing.
Clobberin Time should be on the list. Maybe HOX/POX, sure the follow-up was a letdown, but everyone loved HOX/POX.
Savage Avengers was pretty good too.
What about the Hellfire Gala?
Just kiddin'.😋
Thank you for your recommendations, i will give a try to "strange academy" even though i don't know if its my cup of tea. But i disagree with you on the number one spot: i read all three maestro miniseries when they came out and i found them underwhelming. The reveal of hercules was anticlimactic for me, and the pantheon wasn't a group of characters that i was invested in, and the writing didn't change my mind. I'm not saying that these comics are bad, just that i was expecting more after reading the Symbiote spiderman series.
Peter David is still the man
Peter David's best work is the Gray Hulk (Joe Fixit). His second best work was the Professor Hulk. The problem is that after the Incredible Hulk (Dr. Robert Bruce Banner) was evolved with enough character development, there was nothing further to say. The Hulk's story should've come to a close by the time it was the mid-'90s. Everything that came about afterwards was just contrived.
I never liked the Future Imperfect story. The Maestro is just another crazy, evil, older, future self of Hulk from an alternate future timeline where he had killed off all of the other super-heroes and conquered the world, and now rules a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future world as a mad dictator. His character was rather mediocre though, kind of like Adam Warlock's crazy, evil, older future self called the Magus. Some of the other characters from that nuclear-ravaged late 21st century Earth were okay. Like "Gramps" (Rick Jones' older, future self who was a cyborg), and his great-great-granddaughter from his late wife Marlo Chandler, Janis Jones, who was a mutant born with the power to control her hair like Medusa from the Inhumans.
They were members of the surviving freedom fighters who were trying to defeat the Maestro and save the surviving human race. But other than that, the sci-fi story just seemed redundant. Even with Janis Jones going back in time to try to alter history and change reality for what she felt was for the better by trying to assassinate the Hulk so that she could erase, and totally wipe the Maestro out of existence. And then the Maestro himself going back in time to try to stop her. It all just seemed so been there, done that.
What about all-time best top 3 stories for Marvel, DC, and outside both companies? Best all-time top 3 for Batman, other IP's?
Honestly for me my favorite is ultimate Spider-Man Nick Spencer Spider-Man and Hickman x-men and that’s about it.
I was worried this was going to have Zdarsky Daredevil and McKay Moon Knight... Which are admittedly "good" in the context of neo -Marvel... But stacked against the iconic runs on the characters are passably mediocre at best... Or in my opinion not worth it for one of the first 250-300 Daredevil comics someone reads or 100ish Moon Knight issues (because there haven't been that many good runs, and the other only great one is the original Doug Moench Bill Sienkevics.)
With Daredevil, I’d say that the deck is stacked against Zdarsky’s run in contrast to the likes Frank Miller and Bendis (never thought I’d ever that out loud). Still a good, at times great, read but far from the best. I think an argument could be made for McKay’s Moon Knight but I’m not one to make it as I’m more partial to Warren Ellis’ run. Even still I’d definitely say it’s a great series.
Disagree, Moon Knight has some stellar runs such as the Huston Run, Lemire run and especially the Ellis run.
@@Sayajin3321 the Lemire run was incoherent. I actually prefer the Bendis and current McKay run for being kind of stupid and mediocre but having an actual plot (not 12 issues of dream/hallucination sequences.) I like the Ellis run but it wasn't really a run (6 issues.) Haven't really read the Hustun run but awesome art from what ive seen.
Regarding Marvel Comics series since 2018, Strange Academy, (both series) and Daredevil for me, but not much else. I can tolerate my all-time favorites, FF & ASM, but not much more than that. I'm already an old man, and Marvel overdid those runs about old people, lol. I'm one of the rare Marvel nuts who never liked Venom. I just got burned out from all of the symbiotes, clones, and Spider-Verses, completely...
I have a question for anyone on here: do y’all miss Saturday morning cartoons ? And don’t watch myopinions333.
I do. I don't know what myopinions333 is. I also miss afternoon cartoons from Monday to Friday, and Sunday morning cartoons, too. It was so cool back in the day to change the channels from Channel 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11 and just tune in to whatever cartoons that you liked.
Even early in the morning before I went to school there were cartoons on T.V. The '80s and early '90s had such a great variety of animated and live action television series for children, and teenagers.
I miss fox kids
I do. Too bad tv isn't a thing anymore nowadays
Darth Vader series under the Marvel Star Wars imprint is a great read
That soule vader series is one of my favorite Star Wars reads ever. Not sure if this is the one you’re referring to but nevertheless love it.
You're probably right, the Gillen Darth Vader should be in there.
I like immortal hulk better (a bit declining toward the end tho), but these 5 recommendations are all great.
Zdarsky Daredevil and Jed Mckay Moon Knight were the best Marvel books of the latest years.I don't like Cates Venom.I hated the retcon of the symbiotes origins and Knull. But the sad true is that the entire 616 Marvel sucks so much in the past years.
Hard disagree on Full Circle. The story is mediocre at best and is only there to give Alex a reason to paint. I would recommend it for the art alone but the story is whatever.
Favorite top 3 all-time artists and writers?
Average seems great when there's so much trash
Man you cant say strange academy is good and wolverine and the xmen is bad. Are basically the same book but with watxm has better characters
For me
Honorable: The current Fantastic Four
5 Venom by Cates
4 JM DeMattie's various Spider-Man miniseries
3 Hickman X-Men
2 Ultimate Spider-Man
1 Immortal Hulk
Hickman X-Men sucked. Ruined the X-Men forever.
@@EvandroACruz I would say it's the writers that came after him, along with Jordan White.
Hickman xmen is the foundation of modern marvel's cringe
@@VaughnEsper No, krakoa was a bad idea since the begin. Turned the X-Men in bad guys.
I can see 1 4 and 5... But Ultimate Spiderman seems to already be sputtering (it desperately needs to pick the pace, not grind to a halt in issues 4 and 5 after starting off slow...) and Hickman X-Men sucked... I get why people like HoX/PoX but everything after (X-Men 1-19, New Mutants issues) was mediocre and mostly bad
Sorry, but the moment they put DD into jail after a CRIMINAL DIED in hospital over a random event that no one had control over and then had a black CRIMINAL screech at him about his 'privilege' despite both being in Jail... Zdarsky's DD run was over for me at that point. I'm going look into Old Man Hawkeye, I'm a fan of Clint Barton, thank Wes.
Wes, it’s such a f#@king shame that you have to go back years to pick good books . Nothing in the past 2-3 years of worth to speak of.
House of x powers of x wasn't really good at all.
