+The Last Pepsi You forgot "Countdown to Dark". Also, the Captain America: Winter Soldier graphic novel stole it's concept from a Moon Knight/Spider-Man crossover comic from the 1990's. Even the youtube channel "Looper" brought this up as reasons why Moon Knight can't have a movie. Because everyone keeps taking his original ideas.

@@sapanparekh3327 The reason they weren't on the list is because this list doesn't include ANY actual graphic novels; what it is referring to as "graphic novels" are actually just trade paperbacks, collected editions of previously published issues of regular monthly comic books. Some people incorrectly refer to all comic books as "graphic novels" because they seem to think that just calling them what they are, comic books, isn't "sophisticated" enough for them, and because they don't bother to learn that "graphic novel" is an actual established term for large, single issue, self-contained sequential art stories, often about heavier topics, as opposed to the ongoing monthly magazines that are regular comic books. Both DC and Marvel have established graphic novel lines; Marvel's were even called "Marvel Graphic Novels." Marvel Graphic Novel #1 was The Death of Captain Marvel, which dealt with Captain Marvel dieing of cancer, the attempt and failure of scientific genius superheroes such as Reed Richard's to cure cancer, Cap's death and funeral, and finally the fallout of his death and its effects on the superhero community and his archenemy Thanos. Marvel Graphic Novel #5: God Loves, Man Kills, was about a fanatical right wing religious group that targeted mutants for persecution as "abominations before God", assassinated mutant children, and delved into the twisted mind of the celebrity preacher Reverend William Stryker who lead them, until he tried to murder Kitty Pryde on nation television but was shot by a New York policeman who was there for security. *Those* are graphic novels. The only things on this list are trade paperbacks, which are most definitely not the same thing. People who refer to all comic books as "graphic novels" are just being pretentious because they think calling them comic books is childish and they want to use a more "serious" term. It's really annoying.

I think that Wolverine Origin, E Is For Extinction, Kravens Last Hunt, Guardian Devil, Avengers Disassembled, and Secret Wars should've been on this.

Both Jonathan Hickman & Mark Waid's Fantastic Four are freaking amazing and DnA's Guardians of the Galaxy is also an epic cosmic run.

Gotta say, even tho I love Born Again, Bendis’s run on DD is just next level stuff. Best man without fear run and storylines of all time

I would have picked one of the two most iconic Doctor Strange graphic novels: The Oath, elements of which were used in the solo moved; and Into Shamballa, which not only delved into issues of spirituality and hard choices, but also has to be one of the most stunningly rendered graphic novels, with each panel being a watercolor painting.

Man Without Fear and Guardian Devil are amazing, and Frank Millers first run on Daredevil, especially when he switched from artist to writer for the series, was pretty great, too. I wasn't able to get into any other comics the way I got into Daredevil. Except for Watchmen, but that's a different beast entirely.

to be honest, I haven't read many of these stories (though I now intend to) I feel the original Civil deserves at least an honorable mention, it was a pretty pivotal story arc as well as being genuinely interesting

I remember reading Marvels back in 2007. I didn't think much about it then, but the one story that stuck out to me was the one involving the X-Men and the parallels to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Even for my 11-year old self, this was very impressive. Nice job Alex Ross and the writer whose name I just forgot while writing this comment down. :) LOL

Thx for this nice video. Don't care about punisher, jessic Jones or daredevil, so my top 10 is completely different😅, but enjoyed your video❤️

Very true that Marvel was slow getting to the more “sophisticated” storylines when compared to DC. DC in the late 80s was putting out a lot of sharp new takes on existing characters, whereas Marvel was adding bigger and bigger guns to X books and more Liefeld clones.

Didn't born again inspire that whole thing at the end of defenders and I assume the next season? I find it it curious you mentioned the Netflix for the other ones but not for the number 1 spot.

Marvels by Kurt Busiek & Alex Ross was a wonderful homage to the Classic Marvel Comics era, from 1939-1973 or so; it deserves the #1 slot in your list IMHO. And, Yes, I do have my copy! 😁❤️ Same with Infinity Gauntlet! Loved it and am currently re reading it in the wake of Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame. As Jim Starlin noted, "Its essentially about a guy who wants to impress his girlfriend. Many fans can identify with that. Demon in A Bottle is one storyarc I am still hoping to get one of these days. Other candidates that deserved mention: Nick Fury/Wolverine: The Scorpio Connection was an excellent look into Colonel Fury's past and character- proving that one Really Should be Careful about one Wishes for. Fury (1994) was a oneshot that can pass as a Graphic Novel, giving the origin of S. H. I. E. L. D. . Union Jack: London Falling- A splinter group of A. I. M. threatens to destroy the capital of the United Kingdom, and only Union Jack, and a handful of lesser known Marvel heroes stand in their way.

If you guys do a second one of this, please include Wolverine (the one in Japan) and Spider Man: Kraven´s Last Hunt.

You guys ever do anything on Continuity Comics?

Can You guys do one of these lists for image comics

No Kraven's Last Hunt?

The Annihilation series was amazing. One of the very few that I am happy to reread.

If I would recommend Marvel stories, these are my favorite pick! 1. Planet Hulk 2. Old man Logan 3. Death of Captain Marvel 4. Marvels 5. the Korvac Saga 6. Infinity Gauntlet 7. Marvel Knight Spider-man 8. Marvel 1602 9. Secret Wars 10. Kravens last hunt

When it comes to Spider-man its a hard decision. Death of Gwen Stacy, Kraven's last hunt, Symbiote saga, the retelling of his origin in the Ultimate comics and Spider-man No more. But my personal favorite is "the kid who collects Spider-man" No costumed villain just real world circumstance. Or if you want any even sadder entry. Spider-man "Leah" prepare yourself for that one.

What is the difference between a graphic novel and a normal comic? I'm new to comics so I'm still trying to figure this comic book world

can you make a daredevil list as well?

I love the winter soldier and dark phoenix saga. Much love from southern California.

Read Punisher max for the first time last year and Oh my god. I loved it :D

yeah I need to read these

Some solid works there. I would also include the "Infinity Wars" and "Secret Wars" if for no other reason than the impact the stories had. Plus, the "fight" between Spidey and the X-Men was a delight for a Spidey fan such as myself. They underestimated him severely.

The best comic book storylines are always the ones that rather than focus on the situations, they focus on the *characters*

Wow quite a few missing here... Planet Hulk, New Avengers, some of the Moonknight runs, New X-Men by Grant Morrisson, Cable & Deadpool, and of course Avengers VS X-Men (kidding).

Spider-Man: Reign. I stand by it, Dark Knight Returns But With Spider-Man. Makes Venom a really sympathetic character in the end, and has some great imagery. Also, Kraven's Last Hunt!

Do a video about Hellboy

Good list but I would def put in Kravens last hunt, Earth X and fantastic 4s Trial of Galactus

Good list, definitely a lot of new stuff I hadn't heard of or had heard referenced, but hadn't checked out which I now plan to. My favorite is the lengthy Hickman run on New Avengers and Avengers which culminate in the Secret Wars. It encompasses multiple events, but its the complicated and ambitious elements which play out in almost a poetic fashion over the entire course of the series which makes it all one effort in my mind. I thought it terrific and ambitious.

Planet Hulk is up there as one of my favorite Marvel stories.

Nice

If doing just collected stories then where’s Kravens last Hunt.Also the 80s Squadron supreme 12 part mini.Did realistic superheroes before Watchmen.

Any of the ultimate spider man comics are worth it the art and writing are my favorite from any spider man comics

One of the first REAL (and unofficial) crossovers in the Marvel Universe was Asgardian Wars. funny you missed that. Also: Executioner's Song.

On 2:27, the top Captain America’s shield has the red and white stripes swapped.

I think the word your looking for was "Careening"...through the cosmos

Is it just me or would you want to have certain older comics remastered.

I read the entire Jessica Jones Alias Max graphic novel series it was a really awesome and great graphic novel people really do need to read it I read it before the Netflix show debut so I had an understanding of the character just a really great series of books
