i was thinking... we're supposedly into comics and all why don't we come up with a top 100 list of the best comic story arcs?

I came in here thinking AE arcs, but I see you're actually talking about real comics. Carry on.

Just for the sheer enormity of what it attempted, Crisis On Infinite Earths must be in there, along with Knightfall and Death Of Superman?


We built this city on Rock and Roll!

I liked the Morlun Ezekiel arc in Spiderman

the Death and return of Superman arc was historic for the way it handled itself.

The Hawkeye meets mockingbird arc has always been a personal favorite.

THe Malta Titan arc is funa s wlel. Cant beat the ground shaking as you exit the mission and that big beast coming for you.


So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Dubbed first knight of pep-istan by her majesty Queen Pepcat. first catmonaut to walk onna moon.

Kingdom Come
Watchmen
V for Vendetta
Sandman
^ don't know if these should be included, but they are EPIC

World War III (or Mageddon, depending on who you ask) from Grant Morrison's JLA run has always been a favorite of mine. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I'll also mention Batman: RIP, or at least Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader

Although that's good, I'd prefer to pick the original Dreadstar story. The one where he and friends destroy the Milky Way galaxy. On purpose.
