This seems like an allegory for racism because it basically is. Both dudes are valid. That’s why the war against the two sides are so compelling. Do you have the radicals who are angry for what’s happening to their people and will take action through violence and those who realize violence only breeds more violence.

Even if the Netflix Series brought back the character into the MCU, almost NO ONE in my country have never heard of Daredevil, Which made me quite disappointed considering that DD was one of the most, if not, THE most relatable character in the Marvel Universe. (Well... imo and to me anyway... cause i've been through alot of problems similar to DD... except being blind, Not romanticizing blindness or anything)
+Abhinav Patle Pssh... Black Bat is the one whose underrated (the character Daredevil got away with ripping off. Similar to how Batman is a ripoff of The Shadow and people just simply forget about it).
+RamsTheNameCom their only similarity is they are blind. Just saying. And one got blind when a kid, one when an adult, and they have different motives and morals.
+Dicky Collins Black Bat is also an Attorney and his main villain is Snate (who is a mobster very similar to Kingpin). Plus they both became blind from having radioactive material being poured into their eyes and got heighten senses from the accident).
-Watches some or all of list. -Sees choices I don't agree with, and that choices I think should be there are absent. -Writes comment about how watchmojo doesn't know comics or what they're talking about. -Argues with anyone who responds to my comment with anything short of unconditional validation of my viewpoint.
1: Infinity Guantlet 2: Secret Wars 3: Civil War 4: Dark Pheonix Saga 5: Secret Invasion 6: Days of Future Past 7: Kraven's Last Hint 8: Annihilation 9: Planet Hulk 10: House of M HM: Old Man Logan, Infinity Watch, Marvel Zombies, Born Again
A great read and an easy, fairly fast read since it only consists of 6 issues. Hard to call it a novel but i would agree that it is debatedly the best ever story arc. Most of this list is shit tho
I will also say, i liked the daredevil show but the born again story line blows it away. Daredevil gets beat to within an inch of his life WAYYY to much in season 3, they took it a little overboard. Literally every single episode. He was either getting beat to death or recovering from being beat to death. Season 3 way overrated.
I was reading it again recently and by issue 2 I was thinking it was boring but once I finished it I thought that it's quite an interesting psychological story
My favourite story was Xcutioner's Song. It ran through every mutant title and was remarkably well coordinated bearing in mind how many characters were involved.
10. I've actually never read it, but I hear it's amazing 9. It's cool, but i don't really rank it this high 8. An amazing take on racism. Really good writing 7. This is super awesome. A great storyline 6. This storyline is good. But I think it sucks that it is only 2 issues 5. This is pretty good. I binged these comics 4. This one is great too. I loved the hellfire club. Especially that wolverine panel in the sewers. 3. This one could be the best. Probably a better insanity story than the killing joke 2. I loved this too. Blind hawkeye and wolverine killing the hulk 1. Never read this either, but have heard great things
I highly recommend reading Daredevil: Born Again. Yes, there's catholism meanings innit but... think of something that can destroy you mentally where to the point you just want to end your life, or you fear of losing someone close to you... It's just really motivating in a powerful way to get back up...
My top 10 favorite Marvel comic book stories 1. X- Men The Dark Phoenix Saga 2. Spider-Man The Death Of The Stacys 3. Captain America The Winter Soldier 4. Daredevil Born Again 5. Punisher Circle Of Blood 6. X-Men Days Of Future Past 8. X-Men God Loves & Man Kills 9. Iron Man Demon In The Bottle 10. Spider-Man Kraven's Last Hunt
My all time favorite story has to be Fatal Attractions. The ramifications of The Legacy Virus ripped the "X-Teams" apart and this was awesome..and of course there is the whole Wolverine having his Adamantium ripped out of him by Magneto and all..
Ultimate Spider-Man 1 was the first Marvel Comic i've ever read, i loved the artwork, the story and the creativity so i immediately fell in love. I've read it over and over again, until i found out what Marvel is and where to buy more comics like this. Still a big fan to this day! I also love DC.
The original Ultimate Spider-Man run, from the first issue to the Death of Green Goblin is probably my favourite comic book series ever. It's honestly amazing and even made a version of The Clone Saga bearable and interesting
No, "Hatchet-man" story arc from Marvel's Moon Knight 1979 (Countdown to Dark)? Wow WatchMojo... way to miss a story that both put Doug Moench on the map and won him an award for best story arc in 1979. It also gave both Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz praise for being the "PRIME" example of how to properly write and illustrate a comic as a team.
I think Back in Black is one of the good story as it shows , When the Man beneath the Mask losses his cool , Even a Friendly Super Hero like Spiderman can become Violence & Willing to get his hand dirty for Revenge/Vengeance .
Did you know that Mark Millar was in the Hospital while he was writing Old Man Logan and was rushed to finish the story. Imagine if he had the time and was healthy how great that storyline wouldve been!
Uggh I am a DC fan and only heard of the stories but they make me cringe from what I have heard. They need to take all copies of the monstrosities and shred them, cremate them, then put the ashes in a vault to the bottom of the ocean.
I'm glad someone remembered what a great story BORN AGAIN was! It came out around the same time as WATCHMEN and THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS so it's sometimes overlooked! I think SPIDERMAN: SINS PAST is another great Marvel story but it's controversial for a lot of people who actually never gave a crap about Gwen Stacy before it came out!
This is list is so bullishit. Where's Civil War, Infinity Gauntlet, Secret invasion, Siege, Infinity, Fear itself, House of M, Avengers vs X-men, Heroic Age, Thor: God Butcherer, Xmen: Messiah complex, Decimation, New X-men, Jonathan Hickman's Avengers and so many more. I like Old man Logan but #2 is way to high to be in a list.
it was anticlimatic. but the issue 0 of the watcher was good (th worst part of the event is that it barely focused on watcher's life or importance). though one of the highlights were Punisher/doctor Strange dynamic. also proved Punisher can have weird storys as long is charcater driven and in a team up
The ending storyline to Hickman's FF run was a masterpiece. also basically all major X-men storylines from house of M to AVX. Gland you put 'Winter Soldier' on the list, as Brubaker's run on that title was the modern day equivalent to Claremont's run on X-Men.
Born again is basically marvel's dark knight returns that should make frank miller the greatest comic book writer ever he did write 2 of the best stories ever
Bearing in mind that Alan Moore's "Watchmen" is considered the magnus opus of DC Comics it is surprising that you appear to have overlooked his run on Captain Britain during the 1980s. This is still one of the most underrated comic book story lines ever, brilliantly executed and drawn by Alan Davis. I strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoys sophisticated writing.
My own: 1. Secret Warriors 2. Dark Phoenix Saga 3. The Infinity Gauntlet 4. The Death of Captain Marvel 5. War of Kings 6. X-Men: Legacy - Divided He Stands 7. Astonishing X-Men 8. Fantastic Four - Solve Everything 9. Eternals (2006-7) 10. Planet Hulk On my shelf and waiting to be read: Annihilation: Conquest, Old Man Logan, Simon Spurrier's X-Men: Legacy, Age of X, Jonathan Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers, Spider-Island, Infinity War, Days of Future Past.
The Amazing Spider-Man #666 -"Spider-Island" saga was epic and represented a perfect marriage between "comic" & "book." Entertainment yet with a strong narrative drive, demonstrated Dan Slott's ability to salt & pepper comic relief when needed. The balance between Light & Dark is perfecto. Dan knew when to open a window and let the stench of overkill air-out... only to close the window again & pile on the dramatic and dark sh#t. His playmate Humberto adjusted the visual dynamics to meet the story dynamics. It took me awhile to adjust to Humberto Ramos' ("Crimson") style for Spidey... slowly, his style reflected "Dragon's Lair" along with Joe "Mad" in "Battle Chasers." Humberto grew so much as an artist from his "Crimson" days that it boggles the mind. Sure glad that he learned to chill on the bugged-out eye look. I'm still pissed about Joe "Mad" had his total disrespect to his fanbase for "Battle Chasers."
Original Sin? The only reason that series was created was to write out the original (white) Nick Fury because Marvel wanted to bring the comics closer to the movies. I would never put this story in the top 10, or for that matter in the top 100.
Actually, all the Marvel comics mess is because they wanted to bring their comics closer to the movies and the modern tendencies, believing it would spike up the comic sales
I was just talking about born Again on a Daredevil Twitter fan account. #231 was one of my first Daredevil books 25 years ago & i finally completed & read them this Summer. Also born Again won the graphic novels list.
Thunderbolts, X-Men: Dark Phoniex, Secret Wars, Civil War, Planet Hulk, House Of M, World War Hulk, Secret Invasion, Siege, The Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home and The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows are my favorites.
Dark Phoenix Saga is the greatest comic book saga ever imo. It's just that good. Plus it gave us the most badass but underused villain ever; the Dark Phoenix
Born Again is my favorite. The opening sequence where you see the fate of Karen Page was great! The gunfight in lockup, and the introduction of Nuke , the U.S. Army Super killer!
THE STARLIN THANOS/WARLOCK SAGA IS AN AMAZING STORY, I WOULD SAY BEST OF ALL TIME, IT STARTS AT IRON MAN #55 (1970) TO CAPTAIN MARVEL #25- 33, THEN GOES TO STRANGE TALES # 178-181, THEN GOES TO WARLOCK (1970)# 9-12, THEN GOES TO AVENGERS ANNUAL #7 THEN MARVEL TWO IN ONE ANNUAL #2...
He had quite goofy outfit (a lion theme jacket and a orange/yellow/brown costume... with shoes that could be mistaken for black ballet shoes). And a bit weak and selfish motivation. (a silver-age classic villain). He is "relativly" goofy: not so goofy as a Spidey s.age villain, but sure quite goofy, thinking about How serious he was made in Last Hunt.
well, is better to say secret empire was UNCONCEIVABLY CONTROVERSIAL becuase i actually liked it, and some others. my highlights were, not in that order: 1) pymtron finally being put to good use, and scott lang's speech toward him 2) miles vs hydra cap, 3) cap vs his hydra self, 4) bucky saves steve and kobik, 5) bruce banner speech against hydra cap, 6) steve reveals himself as hydra in the issue 0, 7) the heroes stricking back HARD in issues 8 and 9, 8) deadpool's tie ins, 9) taskmaster releasing the champions, 10) the thing briefly becoming a symbol of hope and fightning briefly against Hulk 11) hercules vs gorgon, and 12) sam wilson speech after donning the captain america costume again, alognside his ruse towards hydra cap
Absolutely not on the Old Man Logan story! That was horribly written, Wolverine who has enhanced senses can't smell through Mysterios illusion? Wolverine can single handedly kill all of the X-Men? Hell, Kitty and Iceman alone are two examples of why he couldn't, let alone others that have beaten him! All of the X-Men are miraculously in the same place at the same time?! The Hulk swallows Logan whole? This is a fanboys wet dream, not a good story!
Guess you never heard of The Kree-Skrull War, Avengers 88 and wrapping up the final loose ends in Avengers 100? Neal Adams art? Ant-Man’s finest hour? The Inhumans? Battles ranging from the Avengers front yard to the home of the Kree Empire to a farm in upstate New York? Rick Jones conquers the universe? The return of Hercules? Every. Single. Avenger. In a single issue?
So you think all the SJW comics that followed are far better? Mean why add that if they wouldn't make the top 10 list anyway? Additionally Marvel's problem isn't making progressive comics, frankly that is long overdue, the problem is they are run by their marketing department rather than the creators.
X -Boy dude, how long have you been reading comics? Marvel, DC and everything else in the media was "SJW" of it's time. The great storylines usually come in between lol.
+Bruce Snow Sort of, I remember there was an Avengers comic from 1999 where a crowd of people protest the Avengers complaining that they were "all white". The Avengers figure-out who sent the crowd this info and went to the source. Turns out it was just some guy at a PC complaining about there not being any diversity in the Avengers. Captain America stands before him and states that, "We had diverse members on our team before like Luke Cage, Black Panther, and Storm. But they aren't available at the moment and we aren't forcing them onto the team just to be another Token Black character. If you don't like whose saving you then don't be saved." The moral of the story is "Don't force characters into a story just to have diversity if you DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE THEM IN." This moral works outside of diversity as well, Moon Knight was in Secret Avengers and did absolutely NOTHING to help the story progress (except help Ant-Man into a vent, but even then. Moon Knight didn't fight anyone).
LOL You haven't been reading comics very much, that's clear. "Sjw shit" has been in Marvel comics for decades. Even before some of the comics in this list were even out.
RamsTheNameCom This doesn't really have anything to do with Marvel, but have you heard about or read the new Superman comic that just came out? There's a scene in it where it has Superman saving a bunch of illegal immigrants from some asshole who was shooting at them who damn near got his ass beaten by Superman himself. After Superman grabs him, he asks Superman, "why are you against me?!" Superman replies with, "WHY?!" and the guy tells him, "They took my job! They ruined me!" Superman replies, "The only person responsible for the blackness smothering your soul is you." Moral of the story is to not be prejudiced towards people just because you THINK they took your job(s) away from you or because they are immigrants (legal or not) with a different color of skin. None of these are reasons for you to blame/murder people who are not responsible for your OWN responsibilities. I'm hoping Bruce Snow at least gives this one a shot and appreciates it even though it now would fall under his personal category of "Sjw shit."
well is more that the best current marvel stories are in c-list or b-list comics that people barely give a try. Al Ewing's Ultimates and Ultimates squared i want to read it because boy is epic. Also Tom King's The Vision (there is a good reason why that book made him Batman' Rebirth main writer). Also Spider-Man/Deadpool main arc in the first 18 issues is good for actually having the balls to reference certain event. and also, Jasson Aaron's Thor, if you read it since God of Thunder, and know why thor is unworthy know, now it feels better
Marvel team-up 41-45: "A Past Gone Mad." Spiderman, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Dr. Doom and more all back in time at the Salem witch trials. Always felt this would be an awesome movie.
