TLDR; way out of the loop with Marvel, want recommendations.
I think I've hit a happy peak with my DC intake - satisfied with the stuff I'm reading, having a hard time getting interested in any of their other current offerings.
I was an avid Marvel fan during the 2000s, loved the Ultimate line, Civil War, Secret Avengers, Alias, The Sentry, the then-current Fantastic Four, etc.
Lost interest completely around the time of World War Hulk and Secret Invasion.
I want to get my diet back in balance; what are some Marvel runs from the past 5-10 years or so that I should catch up on? Essential reads, fan favorites, sleeper hits, whatever.
I've been consuming 60% DC and 40% third party for way too long.
There's gotta be something published in-between Secret Invasion and Secret Wars that I can fall in love with.
Help me, anon. What have I missed?
Vision

Superior Foes of Spider-Man

Does Superior Spider-Man suck as much as my friends say? I'd kinda dig a tour through Spider-Mans world again.

I didn't read it myself, but some people liked the execution. Might be worth a shot if the idea of Ock being Spider-Man interests you.
>>91422203
It's an interesting idea marred by Slott having to conveniently make supporting characters drop IQ points by a vast margin without any explanation.
X-Men Legacy

How could this be construed as bait in any way?
Stop namefagging you fucking retard.

>The Sentry
Mah Boi.
Seconding >>91422169 & >>91422314. X-Men Legacy put me off X-Men comics altogether, it set the bar so high. Which was a blessing in disguise given the shit they've been dragged through since. I'm pretty sure it was what inspired the current TV show, it was so good.
Ewing's a creative continuityfag who's big on fun & feels. He started with Loki Agent of Asgard and has done a string of Avengers comics since that flow one into the other. First there were 2 back-to-back Mighty Avengers volumes, then he split the cast into the silly memey ones (New Avengers) and the OPplsnerf ones (Ultimates), and both of those turned into his current projects of USAvengers & Ultimates^2. Which're 99% likely leading to a cosmic all-or-nothing event called Eternity War. Also some other bits & bobs here & there, but that's the core of it.
Also, I always recommend Thor God of Thunder. The first 12 issues, at least. Genuinely epic shit. If I went into detail I'd be here all day.
>Lost interest completely around the time of World War Hulk and Secret Invasion.
You mmmmmight want finish up the Sentry stuff then? It's very love-it-or-hate-it (because it's mostly by Bendis), but I'm squarely in the former camp. If nothing else, read Siege, since it capped off the 5 years of in-fighting and was the impetus for the Loki storyline that Ewing wraps up with Agent of Asgard. The bulk of which was Journey into Mystery, by Kieron Gillen. People LOVE that shit, and for good reason. It's a damn rollercoaster. Squarely in the Vision 'sleeper hit' category.

>Alias
I don't much like street-level but give Civil War II's Kingpin miniseries a look. I'm still amazed at how gripping it was. It got enough praise to greenlight an ongoing by the same creative team, IIRC.
And yeah, Ewing's Ultimates is basically the Fantastic Four placeholder if you're a fan. "Solve the Ultimate problems" ≈ "Fix Everything". Maybe you've been keeping tabs post-Secret Wars and already know about it, though.
>Moon Knight by Warren Ellis (I also enjoyed the subsequent runs)
>Warren Ellis' Thunderbolts is also nice
>Magneto by Cullen Bunn is pretty ok
>I enjoyed the Nathan Edmondson runs on Black Widow and Punisher, but it probably had a lot to do with the art
Immortal Iron Fist by Brubaker is supposed to be good, haven't read it yet. Wish I could think of more titles, I guess I'm still a bit of a newfag myself.
