    I think a story I recommend is batman hush because it was the first comic I ever read and just love the story.
    Keep the great work!!!

    Definitely agree with a lot of your choices - and also definitely plan to check “Skull” out. I believe the Death of Superman storyline was to hype the Lois and Clark tv show that aired the following year - yet, it was very well done. And, I like the Superman Returns part the best: having Superman pull out the two big guns (cos his powers weren’t fully recovered) was a very funny moment - poking fun at his Boy Scout image. I love Secret Wars - apparently quite a few do not - don’t understand why. I want to recommend Power Pack from the 1980s, first 20 issues or so; the original Sandman (1940s) series; and, the DreamWave comics GI Joe/Transformers story set in WWII. Thank you again for a great video!

    Ask and ye shall receive . So naturally I don't have anything resembling a top 25 list thought out myself . but I DO have some favorites I can pull off the top of my head .I am disqualifying The Lee and Kirby Fantastic Four and the Lee / Ditko/ Romita/Kane Spider-mans because there are simply too many to choose from .
    From DC , my favorite all time story is Batman : Cataclysm / Road to / No Man's Land .Reading Cataclysm really makes you feel as though you are living the nightmare with the citizens of Gotham .Very few stories manage to accomplish that (I DO wish they had thrown something in about the JLA being in another galaxy and unable to help though , as they could have saved thousands .And if you are IN a superhero universe ..)Still , as a self contained entity , it was gripping .Final Night is high on my list for many of the same reasons .Crisis on Infinite Earths has to be on there somewhere .John Byrne's Man of Steel and the first two years of his Superman run makes my list as it was just so different from what we had always gotten on Superman and I will forever maintain that Byrne's Superman is the best version in the characters history .Honorable mentions to the Teen Titans storyline that introduced the Adrian Chase Vigilante and the first Ra's al Ghul Batman story (232, 242-244 )
    To Marvel ..My favorite list is dominated by Avengers runs . The Celestial Madonna saga #129-135 . Giant Size 2-4 . For me , the highlight was the death of Swordsman and how Steve Englehart made me care enough to feel bad about the death of a character who had previously been treated as little more than an afterthought (Forgot to include his Detective run withMarshall Rodgers in my DC list ) The Kree / Skrull war for it's epic grandeur and high stakes .The Avengers / Defenders war for being the first (and still the best) Superteam battle then team up . The Korvac saga , and the Count Nefaria 3 part story (164-166 ) The Fantastic Four storyline where Ben is "cured" of being the Thing .From being replaced by Power Man , the Liberty Legion Team Up , to the Galactus /High Evolutionary story .(although there is no way in hell it fits into continuity ) The three part Byrne Galactus storyline (242 -244 )with the heartbreak of Johnny Storm when Frankie Rate becomes his new herald . The Original clone saga , Bill Mantlo's run on the Hulk when Bruce Banner gets control of the Hulk , and unlike any story that had come before , this lasted almost two years . Realizing that after 43 years , there are just too many to mention off the cuff (although you're probably wondering at this point if this is EVER going to end )
    Anyhoo , great video . I really enjoyed your list and the choices on it . Someday , we will have to do a live stream and blather on about our favorite stories in greater detail than a video and comment allows .Take care and see you on the next one .

    Walt Simonson's Thor, Incredible Hulk: Ground Zero, Peter David's Supergirl, Peter David's Captain Marvel, Peter David's Spider-man 2099 vol 1, Thundrbolts Vol 1- highly recommended, consistently the best read of the month during its run - Zemo the best villain in comics during this (not including the last few issues when it was gutted and transformed for Dark Reign), the Defalco/Ryan run of Fantastic Four. Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight leading into Kyle Rayner's run (if you thought people disliked Death of Superman this is the storyline that made GL fans the worst in comics, I actually loved it), Guy Gardner: Reborn. I'd also have Sleepwalker on my list. LOL

    • @Dante19883

    I do feel like Sleepwalker always caught a raw deal. He came out right before the comic glut of the 90's and got killed by it. It was an imaginative series and worth checking out. On a side note: Sleepwalker has returned to Marvel in the Infinity Wars series and managed to get a mini-series out of it. I've actually been enjoying the comic market lately more than I have in decades. I know a lot of critics say there is nothing coming out worth reading, but I feel that is a harsh judgment. I've been a huge DC reader this year and I'm starting to get into Marvel again. Immortal Hulk is my go-to monthly I won't miss. Great video!

    • @Dante19883

    Dante - Thanks for doing this, mostly sharing your likes, but that's okay. That you chose 8 Bat-stories kinda puts a slant on the listings. I have to say that there was only one of your choices that would make my own 25. I do enjoy your videos, your presentation and passion for the medium is evident, keep 'em coming.

    • @Dante19883
      @Dante19883  6 лет назад

      Hey there Emil! Thanks for reaching out! Great selection there with Tomb of Dracula, I love that series. I personally have read the first 11 issues which I absolutely loved. If you are looking simply read, check out the trades which are pretty reasonable. Collecting wise, I don’t know what your budget is, but I would try to shoot for the first 15 or so issues except 10. The series is pretty collectible and I think you should still be able to get no 1 for under 100. If you just want to read you can read them online for free... that is what I am doing with early issues of amazing spidey right now, just reading online..I will one day get around to reading the whole Dracula series, but you really can’t go wrong with any issues from the series. I hear the whole thing is great! Hope this helps. Cheers!

And yes Batman stories takes the trophy. White knight is missing and there are a few Punisher vs. Daredevil that was captivating

    I'll limit myself to two suggestions:
    First, if you've never read "Master Race" from the first issue of the EC title Impact in 1955, let me just say that it is arguably the best single piece EC ever published. You can read the entire 8-page story here -- from-dusk-till-drawn.com/2016/05/02/master-race-by-bernie-krigstein-usa-1955/ (Make sure to use the on-screen features to enlarge the pages to maximum size.)
    At the other end of the "people getting what they deserve" spectrum is one of my fave Carl Barks duck stories, "A Christmas for Shacktown," from 1952. Though I wasn't able to find a website with a printed copy of the entire 32-page story, here's a RUclips video that shows all the panels, with appropriate musical accompaniment -- ruclips.net/video/2DhqERuJlAk/видео.html

I remember a guy who wore blue tights and some villain who wore a trench coat or blazer and at one point he's holding a screwdriver.

    This was a great list Dante. I was really surprised with the number 1 pick, and you made a very heterogenous mix of comics from different eras. Most of them are my favorite, like Born Again, The Killing Joke, Alan Moore Swamp Thing and Jim Lee X-men. Some stories I also liked: Neil Gaiman's Sandman, Ennis, Dillon and company's Marvel Knights Punisher, Barry Windsor Smith's Weapon X. I also liked the New Avengers and I liked the Reign of the Supermen more than Death and Funeral, But this is a pretty great list. Looking forward for more videos. One suggestion would be the best Stan Lee stories, though you may have to research on them.
