About Comic Book Herald:
My name's Dave, and Comic Book Herald is a labor of love designed to help new, lapsed, and curious comic book readers explore and enjoy the wonderful world of comics. I've been developing reading orders, chronology guides, and detailed comics recommendations since late 2011. Comics can be confusing and intimidating; I try to help.

I knew as soon as this started that the Hickman saga was gonna be #1, cuz it truely is the GOAT. I've read a lot of your list as well, but I have some blind spots. I'll have to fix that

[brandonjones]

Great list, Dave! I definitely agree with number 1! I’ll read anything Hickman. Secret Wars 2015 definitely spoiled me as a reader!

[jessesshow]

Bro you gotta post more, even if it’s just a short, you make great comic content and don’t just sh** on comics like these other comic book creators, it seems they just hate comics imo, keep going bro 👍

0:00-0:08 can I please get some info on this image?

I will never understand how you have only 21k, I have been following your reading order from marvel from a while now, I started at marvel knights and I'm currently at the end of dark reign. It's amazing to explore this wonderful universe and its hidden and lesser-known stories. Great video

[omnitheus]

Your number 1 is bang on. I was hoping to see how the X-Men would fit into all of this as you could see some threads from the past being knotted in. Marvel failed us all so bad not letting him get on with his work and instead jumping the shark...

[Swampthing]

1. Joe Kelly's Deadpool
2. Frank Miller's Daredevil
3. Jason Aaron's Thor
4. X-Men Dark Phoenix Saga
5. Joss Weadon and John Cassaday' s The Astonishing X-Men
7. Jason Aaron's Dr. Strange
8. Daredevil Born Again
9. Punisher Born
10. Walt Simonson's The Mighty Thor

[siriactuallysara]

I would add astonishing x-men Josh whedan run 1-25

[tomblevins]

Some goodies on this list, and some I haven't read yet. Some that I feel worth of consideration. Avengers 4-15. Early Captain America at his best, highlighted by his return, and his battles with Zemo. Check out Captain America's speech as he was fighting Zemo in issue 6, page 20. Any other comic character giving those words would have come across as corny. Anyone besides Lee and Kirby couldn't have brought it off. But it was magic. t made me think, Yeah, this is what a hero should be.I would also recommend an 11 page story in the back of Amazing Spider-Man 248. The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man." A story doesn't have to be a multi issue saga, or have the hero battling super villains to be great. Just a story about Spider-Man talking to his biggest fan. It's also Spider-Man at his very best.

[caesarstroman]

I think marvel comics with abstract beings are my favorites! Dr.Strange first meeting with the Living Tribunal—- Strange Tales #157 was my favorite all-Time!!! Do you marvellites

[lonreed]

Daredevil Born Again and WOLVERINE BY CLAREMONT & MILLER should be on this list.

[natest.laurent]

i agree wholeheartedly with your number one. secret wars was breathtaking and i loved god doom. hickman's house and powers of x i think could also go down as one of the all time greats. i really wished marvel could keep him as chief of x.

[juliiju]

Honestly dissapointed that Squadron Supreme 1985 didn't make it even into the honorable mentions, it deserves a spot here.

[jonwolf]

I would like to try the Hickman books. Could OP or someone elaborate on the collections that cover his "best Fury" and "best JLA" stories?

[Aleksander]

Been relatively new to Marvel, I have always read DC first and foremost. I trust your taste so I'll give these a look!

[xeno]

Great list! I do think Iron Man Demon in a bottle arc could be in the mix as well.

[tarekt]

No HoxPox in your top 100 of all time. seriously. i must disagree and kind of surprised knowing your love of it that it didnt make it in.

[aVerveQuest]

Really sad that no one's been brave enough to tackle the Vidion since King. He's been my favorite character since i was a kid and ive veen forever frustrated by the lazy writing and ability nerfing around the Vision. Loved king/walta work

[BenBen-ktox]

Hey havent seen you on in a while, hope all is well. Hang in there and keep reading even if the podcast game is tough and takes up alot of time. Your voice matters and perspective appreciated. Xmen always!
