I would argue Spidey upto Carnage's first appearance because after that you had the peters-parents-are-alive-but-not-really-because-they-are-actually-robots-story.

Also anyone have any good Ghost rider reccs?
>>

AoA
Goodwin Star Wars
Valintino Gotg
Kirby Cap in ToS
Kirby Cap and the Falcon from the 70's, especially Madbomb!

Is discussion welcome, OP?
not to offend, I don't think Buisick Avengers is all that great, friends.
The first arc is great, but after that there are way, way, way too many story interrupting "gotta fix wanda or whatever" retcons. And the Triune subplot is dragged out for far, far longer than its shelf life. Also worst Vance Astro.
And there is never any rason good enough to reference Avengers 200. EVER.
>>
>>94624536
Discussion is welcome, and yeah I guess I can see where you are coming from. Most critically acclaimed modern marvel runs like that have some fault or another. But I doubt its really Busiek's fault. I mean I personally hated whenever he used Libra.

The old classics on the other hand rarely seem to be that bad since they are doing most of the world building of the Marvel Universe.

I loved his Kang Dynasty, ultron unlimited and other stories. Hell the epic hand to hand beat down Cap gives Kang is probably one of the top 10 marvel fights in my honest opinion.

Yes it had faults but they easily outweigh the bad stuff.

>Busiek's Avengers forever mini (best kang story ever and also the most coherrent)

>Englehart's Avengers (fucking hate his Celestial Madonna bullshit but he has some good gems and a lot of people enjoy his run)

>Englehart's FF, probably the last good FF run before the 90s fuck it over for a decade. This is my personal opinion of course because I know some people like Defalco's run, which is just inconsistent as fuck.

>Yes it had faults but they easily outweigh the bad stuff.

I meant the good easily outweigh's the bad stuff

>Classic Ditko Dr Strange

>Bendis New Avengers (stop reading after siege)

>Avengers the initiative

>West Coast Avengers (had Hank Pym Action Scientist, my fave incarnation of the character)
>>
>>94624801

>Claremont's Ms Marvel

>Kamala's Ms Marvel until Secret Wars

>Starlin Captain Marvel

>Death of Captain Marvel

>Busiek's Marvels mini (basically the Kingdom Come of Marvel, whereas KC focused on the future Marvels celebrated the past)

>Englehart's Dr Strange (Starting from Marvel premiere before becoming its own ongoing; he introduced Shuma Gorath, Benjamin Franklin affair and killed the ancient one)
>>
>>94624438
>Kirby Cap and the Falcon from the 70's, especially Madbomb
My man! I loved The Swine and Arnim Zola.
Conway Run on Cap is great
And Englehearts Captain America is good too
Bill Mantlo On Hulk as well as Peter David's run are fantastic too.
>>
I'd put Spider-man: Blue up there.

JMS Spidey was good shit. There was nothing wrong with Morlun's first appearance.
>>
The entire Marvel Adventures line, but Avengers and Tobin's Spider-Man in particular.
>>
>>94624758
>late responsd, got called away
I honestly couldn't get through Avengers Forever. The retcons got beyond my ability to deal with and I just started skimming.
Also Busick makes Stan Lee look terse.
I can't stand Carol outside of Uncanny X-Men and her reeturn to the team after her ousting breaks my SoD.
I agree that a lot of it is probably not Busick's fault, though. The Avengers is a unholy clusterfuck of a franchise.
Celestial madonna put me off Englert fiveever.
