superman is great stuff... i hate to admit it, but it was the prehype of the "death of superman" storyline, that first got me into comics... still a classic story to this today, though the media frenzy, and drawn out jibberish afterwards were a bit much, the shot of supes in lois's arms, tears down her face, will always be etched into my head....

Ive never really been too into DC comics, although the death of superman and the dark knight returns, are two of my favorite comic storylines. But...I have to represent my man. Spiderman. I grew up on the comics what can I say. I have most of the issues (except a whole lot from the first 100 Amazing Spiderman ...#1 seems very hard to find 
) Ive stuck with him through his lows....and boy have there been lows...it seemed like the clone saga lasted years...oh wait it did! And then there was them bringing Norman Osbourn back...and Peter putting up the threads for 'good' ...yeah heard that before. At one point they even moved him to Oregon. But the series has picked up in the last few years and always remains to me an enjoyable read (the September 11 issue was paticularly good...I dont remember any other comic dealing with the issue at the time).
Now...if you pry my hands off of a Spidey comic than...well Watchmen, Earth X, and Kingdom Come (I have issue 1 signed by Mark Waid, Alex Ross, and Todd Kleinn) were all great series.

That issue of amazing spiderman, the sept 11th one, has to be one of the greatest single stories in comic history... i think it actually brought a tear to my eye, reading it, so moving it was... seeing doom, with a tear in his eye... like, whoda thunk? and being that they tied it in so realisticaly with reality.
i actually have like 4 copies of that, one to read, one poly bagged, and two i sent in to get cgc'ed, (graded... they returned a 9.8, and a 9.6)... as i get alot of my issues in good shape, and with beautifull covers, graded, mainly for show, as i never sell them.
the all black cover, truely brought a sense of dread, and sadness...

...well I didnt want to say it before...well cuz I mean to some they may just see me as a goof for getting emotional over a acomic. But, I too...was deeply moved by the issue, and by the time I turned to the last page with all the faces of the fire fighters and policemen...my eyes were watery. It was such a dark moment in our history, and the comic captured that emotion remarkably...but it also captured the determination of the human spirit. Seein all the heroes and villians of the Marvel world coming together not only to mourn...but to rebuild. I agree that it is one the greatest stories ever told...and for a Spidey comic there werent even that many words...the story was told through the pictures. And the cover...well...more than anything else at the time, it truly expressed how America was feeling.
I have two copies one to read (and boys has it been) and one polybagged.

I didnt get the banner mini series, have the first few issues of the "semi restart" of hulk, that now costs a fortune to get ahold of. first few issues were a great read.
Smiths run on DD was definately great, Thats why i cant wait for him to get on Amazing spidey, wow, good times, maybe they will finnaly ditch the "ban on vemon", and let smith write some venom stuff, woot!

I jumped on the semi restart of the Hulk with two quick TPB's. $14, back into action, never missed a thing. 
Smith's run on Green Arrow kicked ass. Those first 15 issues breathed new life into Green Arrow. His DD also joined the historic ranks shortly after. B)
I want Garth Ennis to write Venom.
