Vertigo

>>83134020
Vertigo.
MAX really doesn't have a ton of good books. Admittedly, the few good ones it has are pretty amazing, Punisher and Fury coming to mind.
But then the rest are mostly catastrophically bad.

>>83134020
Joke or best trollpost ever?

>>83134020

Not really comparable.

Vertigo had/has more original creator driven properties.
MAX was basically a more violent take on established IP's.

>>83134020
Marvel's Knights

side note, did Marvel EDGE have any good books?

>>83134202

I feel like MAX was attempting to do Marvel Knights again after Marvel Knights became super popular and canon.

Remember when Spider-Man killed Marry Jane because of his Radioactive Seamen?

>>83134669

Who can ever forget "a thousand eggs of cancer"?

Epic Comics

>>83134020
Vertigo.

You might have an argument that MAX had fewer shit books, but that's only because Vertigo has been going so long.

>>83134382
>side note, did Marvel EDGE have any good books?

It wasn't really the same, that was mostly just branding. They didn't have an EiC at the time and instead broke the books up into divisions, with a top Editor for each. X-Books, Spider-Man, Avengers/Cosmic, and the rest were in a group called Marvel Edge.

>>83134020
Punisher was better than anything that came out of Vertigo. So was My War Gone By.

That said, there were very few other MAX titles worth reading. So overall Vertigo was better.

>>83134382
EDGE was garbage. Some of the worst comics ever.

>>83135210
This. Epic was better than either Vertigo or MAX.

Supreme Power is a guilty pleasure I can't get enough of

>>83134020
are you fucking retarded?

>>83134020
Punisher MAX alone brings it to the top for me.

>>83136412
why do punisher fags have such shit taste?

>>83134020

Vertigo had some of the best comic books ever written, what the fuck did max even have other than Punisher?

>>83134020
I liked some stuff from MAX, but if you're talking overall line including the creator-owned stuff, it's Vertigo by far.

And even if you limit it to "Mature readers versions of established characters" then Swamp Thing, Sandman, Animal Man, Doom Patrol, Sandman Mystery Theatre, edge out Ennis Fury and Punisher, JMS Squadron, and some others to me.

All you faggots forgetting MAX Thor.

Continue sucking on that cock.

>>83136448
Fury: My War Gone By

>>83136448
Ennis' Fury: My War Gone By
JMS' Supreme Power
Howard the Duck
Apache Skies
Master of Kung-Fu
The Hood

I think that was about all I liked. In Howard the Duck and Master of Kung-Fu's case it's really more that the writers most associated with the characters (Gerber and Moench) came back to it.

Deadpool MAX was okay but Tucker Stone overpraised it a lot.

>>83136532
That really wasn't that good. On the other hand it's still better than US War Machine 2.0.

Why do anti-punisher fags write off the character without reading any of his good stories?

>>83136684
why would anyone actually care about Ow the Edge: The character?

The very core concept of "evil man who kills all the bad guys" is cancerous from the start. He's a bad character. He's Snyder's Joker without a theme.

>>83136684
Because Punisher as a character is fucking shit. No shitdarkening will help it.

These are the types of faggots that read Squirrel Girl.

MAX had a few good books but was pretty one-note. Can't even beging to rival with Vertigo's catalogue. (And it wasn't supposed to at all)

>>83134669
Yeah, it wasn't even a MAX book.

If anything, Young Animal will be closer to MAX. But it's alreafy shapeing up to be better imo, since it has a set goal and a vision uniting the titles, instead of Superhero comics just with more Gore and Swearing, which was MAX's only imeriative. Punisher and FURY MAX was their only reason for exsisting

>>83137025
its gonna take like 2-3 issues that arent awesome for /co/ to turn against Way and then we will meme magic him into falling out with morrison, imploding the entire imprint

>>83137106
/co/ is not significant enough to successfully channel meme-magic. We don't have the sheer determination of baneposters.

Vertigo

Dident hulk do that once to

>>83134020
Vertigo has hellblazer and Sandman it's vertigo hands down

>>83134020

Epic and now Icon are Marvel's actual equivalents to Vertigo.
