5 Must Read Marvel Comics Runs

[@jennifferelliott1053]

So when I saw the title of this video, the first thought that popped into my head was, "He'd better include the Brubaker run of Captain America!" 😂😂 You did not disappoint! Great video, awesome picks.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Could I leave Brubaker’s Captain America off this list? impossible! haha 😂👏
Thanks for watching 📚
Any other favorite Marvel runs you’d add to this list?

[@nickthecomicnerd8164]

Awesome video. I never dove into a captain America run but now you have me tempted! Will let you know if i go for it.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Oh please do! It’s an absolute favorite run. A must read 👏📚

I read JMS’s Spider-Man run and I enjoyed it a lot, probably my favorite run for Spider-Man aside from Ultimate Spider-Man. I don’t like the idea of Spider-Man being totemic either but I will say that for the most part it was done well and I kinda liked Ezekiel, he was an interesting character. My overall thought on JMS’s run is that the Highs are High and the Lows are Low, so does great character work though (except sins past, the other, and OMD even though that last one wasn’t his fault it was marvels). I still highly recommend to anyone that wants to get into Spidey.

[@TheComicBookReport]

I agree completely 💯👏🕷️

[@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo]

For FF I highly recommend Mark Waids run. Especially for newer readers.

[@TheComicBookReport]

I’m actually going through that now! So far it is brilliant! Great recommendation

[@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo]

@@TheComicBookReport Yeah it is. Have you already gone through unthinkable?

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo finished that on Monday I think..absolutely brutal story blew my mind

[@BenGrimm1961]

I have the Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Jensen Omnibus with Daredevil issue #181 on cover (the one with Daredevil in background and Bullseye and Elecktra flying at each other with each holding 1 sai).

[@TheComicBookReport]

That’s a brilliant collection 👏
Personally, I love that cover 💯📚

[@IsaacFruits]

I like all the choices except JMS Spider-Man, I feel that Ultimate Spider-Man is a far better run overall. I’m glad you at least mentioned it! Aaron’s Thor or Cates Venom would be on my list as well with Brubakers Cap.

[@TheComicBookReport]

I LOVE Ultimate Spider-Man could have easily recommended that as well! 🕷️💯
And I’ve wanted to check out Thor by Jason Aaron

[@garyfoster65]

Great video. Thank you. Have read X-Men & Miller’s DD run when they came out in singles and they are every bit as good as you say. Have the other 3 to read and can’t wait. Like you, I’ve heard all the JMS beef but I am very much up for it. I don’t know if it counts as a run as such but Whedon/Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men is the book that brought me back to comics after 20+ years away so have to give it some love.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Yeah I think in spite of some faults I still LOVE that JMS Spidey run it just nails the characters and the tone I love in a Spidey book 🕷️
And astonishing X-men would be a fantastic addition to the list! 👏

[@Krypton_Ken]

I'm a big Babylon 5 fan, JMS is a favorite. He had some editorial interference along the way but I still love his Spider-Man run, especially the earlier stuff with Morlun and Ezekiel.

[@drocksteadyreviews]

Fantastic Four is spectacular! That’s a run very accessible to everyone. Great list bud!

[@TheComicBookReport]

I think so too! A complex and engaging narrative and yet accessible to new or prospective readers! One of my favorite runs of all time 📚
Any Marvel Runs you’d add to the list?

[@drocksteadyreviews]

@@TheComicBookReport Astonishing X-Men for sure 🔥

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@drocksteadyreviews oh great Add! 👏👏

[@drocksteadyreviews]

@@TheComicBookReport Ultimate X-Men, Bendis Daredevil, Aaron Thor, Cates Venom I could go on and on lmao

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@drocksteadyreviews I’m definitely curious about Aaron’s Thor

[@thomasdempsey721]

Great picks!
I would also argue for Walt Simonson's Thor, and the Micheline/Layton/Romita IronMan Omnibus.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Thanks!
Any you’d add to the list? 📚

[@TheComicBookReport]

Awesomeness I’ve read some of both runs! Solid reads 📚💯

[@jakebeninato9938]

Been in such a Daredevil mood lately, and I’m so annoyed that the Miller Omnibus already went out of print. At least, the Bendis Omni is coming out next year and I’m 100% buying that ASAP.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Yeah I have so much of the daredevil runs in paperbacks or small hardcovers would love to someday upgrade to Omnis of them all. I definitely want that Bendis run in omnibus format but need to look at my budget ha 😂

[@jakebeninato9938]

Personally, I’m too worried about formatting; I have Snyder’s Batman run in paperback and that’s fine with me, for example. I only worry about formatting when it’s hurts the story or the story collected is so long that you know the book is going to get damaged. That’s my biggest concerns w/ the Starman Compendium and Immortal Hulk Omni - they’re too big and it makes me worried how long they’ll last.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@jakebeninato9938 I totally get that! I just finished the first Starman compendium actually review dropping Wednesday. Mine held up great after that first read and I wasn’t gentle but I’m not sure on longevity 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@carlosdvitorio]

Spider-totem? No, thanks, terrible idea

[@TheComicBookReport]

Fair enough 😂
I still love that run and feel like he had a commanding grasp of the characters but totally understand that is a polarizing opinion 🕷️

[@soar123]

The totem thing always put me off of JMS Spider-Man run too.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@soar123 definitely understand

[@benupc]

Miller’s DD run got me into comics. Zdarsky’s DD was next and since then…🎉

[@TheComicBookReport]

I love it! 👏📚
You’ve gotta check out Bendis if you haven’t yet

[@benupc]

@@TheComicBookReport I only read one tpb by Bendis. I have been looking for the Omni but it’s very hard to find…

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@benupc they should be reprinting in a few months :)

[@benupc]

@@TheComicBookReportThat’s great news. Thanks for the tip, Dominick.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@benupc 😎👍👍

[@sugarray6250]

Daredevil is such a bad ass. JMS run is my favourite run on Spiderman I'm gonna be honest I found bendis's run kinda boring. I loved what JMS did by turning Peter into a high school teacher and helping his community. I would personally put Punisher Max in there as he's my favourite hero. Great list though. You got good taste man.

[@Baronsunday]

Agreed !

[@TheComicBookReport]

Yes! 💯
Any you’d add to the list? 📚📚📚

[@Baronsunday]

@@TheComicBookReport Tough call, as pretty much everything Hickman does blows my mind, but his run on X-Men was nothing short of revolutionary (in my humble opinion), and I REALLY loved the Joss Weadon/John Cassaday Astonisging X-Men too. As for Daredevil, he's been blessed with fantastic creative teams, I could talk for hours about my two favourite ones, Bendis/Maleev and Waid/Samnee. BUT if you have to chose only one run per character, your choices are more than valid.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@Baronsunday I love your choices as well some of my favorites

[@mrimyourlawyer6005]

Just curious. What’s your favorite daredevil run?

[@TheComicBookReport]

I’m due for some re-reads but I’m partial to Bendis’ run perhaps the most :)

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Can never really get into the Fantastic bore

[@TheComicBookReport]

Fair enough it’s not for everyone! It’s definitely a franchise I’ve gotten hooked on in recent years myself.
What are some of your favorite Marvel Comics characters? 📚

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

@@TheComicBookReport X-MEN, Daredevil, Avengers Captian America, X-Force. Punisher. Read a lot of Thor but could never really get into him. All those gods are so confusing. Like Loki to an extent.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@francoisdemorcy5084 right on. Any punisher runs you could recommend?

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

@@TheComicBookReport the original back in the day before he became overpowered. The Punisher Max series was good. I do not like Gartn Ennis but that was cool. Punisher series where he took on the Shield Howling soldiers. Not into Punisher beating Marvel universe. Not into the new Punisher run where a demon went into him

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@francoisdemorcy5084 appreciate the feedback. I want to read a little more of his stuff, but I don’t enjoy it when things get too explicit.

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Cap run was very good. DD run was cool. Killed Electra. She should have stayed dead. Always dying and coming back. Zzz . Love the X,-Men for years. Now they are too woke

[@TheComicBookReport]

That cap run for me is unforgettable
