He's totally a B-lister, if not an extremely low A, he even had his own video game! Namor The Sub-Mariner is on the C list, but not Aquaman. He's too damn well-known.
It may be taboo, but I generally don't pay attention to big events. They rarely seem to have any substantial effect on the books I read.
With that said, I really enjoyed both Civil War, and Spider Island. Minimum Carnage, while not perfect, was also pretty cool. It's sort of hard to screw up a book with Agent Venom, Kaine, and Carnage as your main characters. I could've done without the fairies, but the fight scenes were killer, and it was super badass when Kaine lobotomized Carnage by stabbing Cletus' brain through his eye! Also, just look how cool the image to the left is! I may be partial though, considering Maximum Carnage played a big part in my intro to comics.
I'd like to one day read through Secret Wars, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, House of M, Secret Invasion, and even the much-hated AvX.
The whole Buffy-verse lends itself so naturally to comics. I love it all. The books that came out while the show was running, seasons 8, 9 and now 10. Angel & Faith, Angel: After the Fall, Spike, etc. All wonderful stuff, quite literally.
