JLA 38-40 (Despero vs. JLA)<br />8. ASM 400 ("The Gift" or Death of Aunt May)<br />7. Defenders 92-100 "The Six-Fingered Hand Saga"<br />6. GOING SANE<br />5. JL 1-6, JLI 7<br />4. CAPTAIN AMERICA 293-300 (Death of the Red Skull)<br />3. The Harry Osborn Saga<br />2. MOONSHADOW<br />1. KRAVEN'S LAST HUNT<br /><br />Interesting list. It's tough for me to pit MOONSHADOW and BROOKLYN DREAMS against mainstream superhero work. I go to them for such different things. Between the two, I prefer BD. <br /><br />SAVIOR 28 definitely deserves the spot CAP 298-300 got. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised by how much of your earlier work made the list here! Not bad by any means, but the difference between even 1984 and 1986 is pretty significant in terms of quality. <br /><br />It's criminal that LOST YEARS didn't make the cut. I go back and forth between it, KLH and the Harry Osborn Saga as to which is your best Spider-Man work. <br /><br />The Harry Osborn Saga is different than KLH because it's not told in a one story beginning to end format. Honestly, I'd have your entire SSM run on the list, because Harry's story gains a lot by being put on the back burner for a while and gaining momentum again. It takes full advantage of the monthly format, throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Spider-Man, and I love it for that. <br /><br />LOST YEARS is a brilliant character study. And I just throw in THE PARKER YEARS and REDEMPTION and call it your Ben Reilly trilogy because I view it as such. I'm sometimes inclinced to think it's every bit as good as KLH and your SSM work. Depends on what day of the week it is. <br /><br />I never read your DEFENDERS work, but of all the stories listed, that one has the coolest cover. Just a bunch of heavyweights fighting over...something...in the pits of Hell. Too cool!<br /><br />My thoughts are a lot like the Avengers...some assembly required. I'll get to work on that. <br /><br />--DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-89318813847201260402011-11-22T06:55:17.625-05:002011-11-22T06:55:17.625-05:00All questions welcome here at Creation Point!

Maybe I'll be seeing you next time around! :)<br /><br />2. Given your love of the classic "Robin Dies at Dawn!" cover you should check out BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD 13. It's called "Batman Dies at Dawn!" and it's about the Phantom Stranger pulling various Robins from all over the timeline to save him. Great stuff. Last month's issue had Batman and Zatanna investigating a break-in at The House of Mystery. Sholly Fisch (I think that's right) is doing some fun off the wall stuff with the book right now. <br /><br />--DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-60190871871117188752011-11-15T07:10:09.117-05:002011-11-15T07:10:09.117-05:00They were such a great group, Rob, that it was an ...They were such a great group, Rob, that it was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end.J.M.
