[QUOTE="TheBadElf, post: 1421878, member: 14037"] Most of mine have been mentioned already, but... [I]The Authority [/I] (Ellis and Millar runs) These were great reads that IMO really expanded the perception of what super heroes can and maybe / maybe not should do, and the best "widescreen big action" comics ever. [I]Stormwatch[/I] (Ellis run) The best example ever of a writer taking a painfully bad comic and making it far, far better. [I]Planetary[/I] Can you tell I'm a Warren Ellis fan? Seriously, I really think that once Planetary wraps up it's going to be looked at as one of the all-time classics. [I]Watchmen[/I] [I]Dark Knight Returns[/I] These two pretty much changed the way I looked at the world when I was in junior high. Scary, no? And they read just as well these many years later. [I]Strangers in Paradise[/I] As someone mentioned, some really great character work. One of the only comics that's ever really gotten to me emotionally. And, the ones that no one's mentioned yet... [I]The Elementals [/I] (until around #25 or thereabouts). This was a "Mature Readers: book before anyone invented the label, and one of the standouts of the 1980s independant scene. It went downhill badly when creator Bill Willingham left, and degenerated into a mockery of what it had been' as I recall, the for the last few years before the franchise disappeared totally it produced a few limited series that were never completed and a disturbing number of "Sex Specials" and lingerie issues. Before its sad demise, though, it was one of the very smartest superhero books of its time. [I]Miracleman[/I]Everything that can be said about this awesome series already has; I look foreward to the legal struggle over the rights being resolved someday so that people who didn't read it in the 80s can see what the fuss is all about. Trust me, it's worth it. Almost forgot... [I]Supreme Power[/I] My favorite comic going today and its spiritual predecessor by the same author, [I]Rising Stars[/I] (I still hope the last two or three issues will come out someday...) [/QUOTE]
