Marvel Wants You to Choose the Contents of their 75th Anniversary Omnibus

My 5 picks and reasons for why they should be included:

1. Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt (1987) - This comic acted as a response to DC's darker and more mature stories of the 80s, and what's more, showed that supposedly silly Silver-age villains like Kraven the Hunter could be relevant and compelling when in the hands of a competent writer with a unique vision.

2. The Death of Captain Marvel (1982)- Other that being being Marvel's first ever graphic novel (an incredibly influential move shown by the popularity of OGNs today), Jim Starlin crafted a tale which explored a mature and powerful take on the standard superhero death.

3. Silver Surfer: Parable (1988) - One of the few American collaborations with comic art legend Moebius, this cosmic tale delved into themes of religious oppression and free speech, and stands as one of the greatest Silver Surfer comics ever created.

4. Daredevil: Born Again (1986) - The high point of Frank Miller's incredible run, Born Again is one of the most brutal, uncompromising looks at a hero's fall ever seen in the medium, featuring beautiful art and an endlessly quotable script.

5. Marvels (1994) - Acting a love letter to the classic Marvel tales of the Golden Age, combined with a revolutionary photorealistic art style and clever writing, Marvels is truly a masterpiece with some of the most iconic panels in modern comics.

All five of these picks are in myFavourite Comics of All Time list which I made on Comic Vine just a couple of weeks ago.

This is a really good list. 3 of which I was going to put in my top 5 (Born Again, Kraven's Last Hunt, and Parable). I was also going to add Spider-Man: Blue because it is a more heartfelt story that balances against some of the darker themed Marvel stories (especially Born Again). I think the other has to be either Secret Wars or The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix saga just because of molds they broke in the comic industry.
