I'm going to pick some of my favorite single issues. A lot of them are Grant Morrison. I feel all of these stand alone and tell a complete story, even when you know literally nothing about the characters. I'm sure my list is very basic but it's what immediately comes to mind.
New Teen Titans #38 - Who Is Donna Troy?
Action Comics #775 - What's so Funny About Truth, Justice, & the American Way?
Invisibles #12 - Best Man Fall
The Multiversity - Pax Americana
Animal Man #5 - The Coyote Gospel
Sandman #14 - The Collectors
Planetary #7 - To Be in England, in the Summertime
Ultimate X-Men #41 - New Mutants: Part 2

Robinson and Harris's Starman
The New Frontier

I wish Cinemaphile liked talking about the comics they like instead of the ones they hate.
It's hard to talk about good comics when they're all old comics. All you can really say is variants of "this comic from 20+ years ago sure was neat, shame they don't make them like this anymore".
>It's hard to talk about good comics when they're all old comics.
Comics are a dead medium. There have only been a few (American) comics in the last 10 years that are worth reading. So any discussion is going to focus on older stuff.
It's like if there was a board for pulp magazines. You'd have to talk about old stuff by nature.
>Anything by
Jack Kirby
Steve Ditko
Frank Miller (up to 2000)
Alan Moore
Grant Morrison (be wary of his Marvel stuff)
Kurt Busiek
Walt Simonson
Steve Gerber
>It's hard to talk about good comics
No, it's just that Cinemaphile is full of social morons.
My personal favorites:
>DC
"Batman: City of Crime"
"Superman: Redemption"
"The New! Teen Titans"
"JLA: Rock of Ages"
"Superman: Man of Steel"
"Superman For All Seasons"
"Animal Man"
>Marvel
"What If?" Vol 1 #34 (funniest fricking thing, please read)
"Spider-Man 2099" Vol 1
"Marvel Adventures Spider-Man"
"The Incredible Hulk: Hiding In Plain Sight"
"Wovlerine" #1-4
"Ultimate Human"
"The Fantastic Four Roast"
I have an acquired taste, I've been told.
>"Ultimate Human"
underrated
I am taking notes to read those.
Spider-Man 2099
Blue Beetle Vol 7
The Incredible Hercules
Red Robin
Spider-Man Back in Black
Green Lantern Rebirth
Amazing Spider-Man V1 up to 350
Kamandi
Uncanny X-Men the first brood saga.
Batman Adventures
Avengers Defenders War
Captan America Madbomb
FF V1 84-87. The best Dr Doom story that I have read.
Thor 131
Thor 161-162 (really everything after 116 until Kirby leaves.)
Kirby’s Fourth world
Oh, and Master of Kung Fu: The Crystal Connection, but really from the time Moench takes over the title till the end.
I've learned over the years that Cinemaphile has such bad taste that there's nothing that can be done about it, so there's no point in trying.
Pussies.
Manga is going stronger than ever. The medium is well and alive, but not in the US.
When people here say "comics" what they really mean is Marvel and DC. Just those two specific publishers.
Though I haven't really heard of any good euro stuff recently either, so maybe it's really just Asia where things are still alive. Everything else just a twitching corpse of a decapitated giant.
Europe is putting out a modicum of good shit, like always.
I've forgotten what comics I used to like. It was so long ago when I last liked a comic.
Most of Cinemaphile won't read anything unless it's written by a Brit, and they've already read all the stuff that was, so why bother recommending anything?
I honestly have never been impressed with anything from Marvel. All those "legendary" comics have disappointed me, they were either just ok/decent or I outright hated them.
