Marvel's Greatest Collections

[Libra6Poe]

Hello all! I picked up this free issue today at my comic book store.
This thread is similar to my DC thread.

Remember, this is Marvel... not Dark Horse or DC or anything else. So there isn't going to Superman or Batman or Buffy in this.
But since it is Marvel, there will be some Spider-Man listed.

It's quite a long list. I'll only post about half now.

Marvel Comics Group #1

I dont have a single marvel comic. They dont appeal to me in any way, unlike many of the DC comics.

The Frank Miller Daredevil collections are a must. No Conan? No Ghost Rider? No Man-Thing? WTF?

I agree for the most part. Marvel comics don't really appeal to "Mature audiences" like DC & DC's Vertigo.

The only one in this list that is a mature read is the Punisher one.

Lenny, I know I can always count on your to keep me company in my threads.
I don't know why those aren't mentioned. Strange.

Wolverine: Weapon X is pretty good. I also really enjoyed Havoc & Wolverine. IMHO, Havoc was never as popular as he should have been.

I noticed no New Mutants either. Interesting.
