ComicVine's Top 10 Marvel Comics Books Series of 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Community has voted and I have listened. Here all of you have the list that you voted for and it is, if not anything else, Respectable.
List items
-
Uncanny X-Force is a stellar achievement by Remender. He manages to round out a bunch of outcasts, even within a team of outcasts and gives them a noble, but dark mission, which they take to doing with full grit and determination. The "Dark Angel" story-line is easily one of the better literary achievements that comic books have accomplished in the last few years.
-
in conjuction with Fantastic Four, the Community believed that this series was one of the most enjoyable of the year, with the twists and turns that have been unveiled.
-
The ComicVine Community was impressed with the recent Spider-Man crossover entitled "Spider-Island" where a vast majority of the population of New-York was infested with Spider Powers by the Jackal and another, more mysterious villain.
-
Rick Remender does a beautiful job with the character of Flash Thompson, a character who had lost all relevancy to the Spider-Man universe in the past few years and turned him into an interesting and complex character -- whose past history with Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker, has always been touching.
-
Mark Waid does a marvelous job when trying to bring Matt Murdock back into the comic books after the character having previously been turned down a dark path, eventually even turning against those that would call him his friend.
-
Marjorie Lie has done a great job in a solo series by one of the most emotionally conflicted characters in the Marvel Universe, a book who fans are sad to see go. The run has been compromised by X-23 finding her place among the X-Men and even though long time fans of the characters have had mixed feeling about interpretations of certain characters and relationships, it is a book everyone is sad to see go.
-
Following Schism, a book that wasn't appreciated by a lot of the bigger fans of the X-Men Universe, there were many that were skeptical about Wolverine taking the role of a Headmaster. Some still voice their disapproval over the situation but it is undeniable that Wolverine and the X-Men is a truly fun read that digs deep into the roots of what made comics a blissful medium.
-
Secret Avengers takes a concept which while interesting, some weren't completely sure if it would work. Steve Rogers who had then rejected the title of Captain America, decided to create a covert ops team and claimed to no longer "be Captain America" trying to set a darker tone for the book. People didn't know whether the man who had always been seen as a sort of "boy scout" would fit this mood, but regardless, Secret Avengers proved to be a well cooked book from Remender stunning pot of ideas.
-
After what many thought to be a bold move by Marvel, Ultimate Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker was killed. They had announced it, many didn't believe it would happen, but it did. The result was that it opened the door for Miles Morals, who had a perfectly sown origin story, that feasibly allowed him to have the same origin as peter, even though he was never in the lab when Parker was bitten by the Spider. The result is a character that has these power, but never had an incident that dramatically made him want to protect the streets of New York. With no Uncle Ben, it leaves a door open and a story to be told.
-
A surprising addition to the list, Legacy is one of those books that gets the characters that many don't generally recognize as the premier X-Men and gives them a place in a book, allowing their story to be told without having to be on a team filled with more popular characters.
