What runs from this decade do you think will be hailed as future classics years down the line? I'd wager pick related and maybe Mackay's Moon Knight

Donny Cates’ Venom, Immortal Hulk, Zdarsky’s Daredevil, and probably Hickman’s X-Men.
Maybe hailed as classics by desperate cape fans, but none of these measure up even to the "classics" of the 2000s.
>2000s
>classics
Pick one.
I said "classics".
There's a few.
Name them.
Classic runs?
>Ennis Punisher
>Planetary
Classic limited series?
>All-Star Superman
>DC: The New Frontier
All the other titles that come too mind are overrated.
>that come too mind
that come to mind
Jesus
2000s Cosmic Marvel, X-Men Messiah Trilogy, maybe.
People are gonna look back at Immortal and hate it for starting with a cool concept then doing nothing with it except muh green door. If anything the current Hulk run will be remembered more fondly for doing spooky better.
>Donny Cates’ Venom
It'll be remembered for not only putting Venom back on track after the Bendis shitshow but also for being better than the current mainline Spidey run
Look, I personally have beef with the way Marvel dismissed Flash-Venom to revert to Eddie Brock, but in the end Cates’ run has been immensely impactful giving Venom levels of popularity he hasn’t seen since the 90s.
>immensely impactful giving Venom levels of popularity he hasn’t seen since the 90s
I'm being pedantic here but popularity isn't the same as being good. That said I'm not the target demo for this run because I hate symbiote lorehomosexualry. I do agree with the other guy who said its better than Bendis though, and I also miss Flash-Venom.
Early Krakoa was good, but I don't know if the X-Men book on its own really stood out.
>Gene Luen Yang's Shang-Chi
best Shang-Chi comic since the 1970s??? it's a definitive run by default but it's also really good
>Jed MacKay's Moon Knight
unironically surpassed Lemire for me as the best Moon Knight run to date
>Zdarsky's Daredevil
it faces stiff competition but I can easily putting it as #2 or #3 of all Daredevil runs
>Ryan North's Fantastic Four
I don't know how well slice of life with the Fantastic Four is going over with normies (Sal from comic pop hates it) but it's a classic in my eyes.
>Ghost Rider by Benjamin Percy
like Shang-Chi, it wins by default as a Ghost Rider run, but it's still pretty damn good
>Al Ewing's Ant-minis
The first one centered on the Ant-Men is pure unadulterated kino. The Wasp minis feel like a step down but I want to see where they go (if anywhere).
>PKJ's Hulk
I really, really like this run. HOWEVER, despite being a crowd pleaser after the Cates dumpster fire run, I feel like this run is always going to be in the shadow of Immortal Hulk and won't be able to surpass it.
>Doctor Strange by Jed MacKay
I like it but I also feel like it definitely hasn't earned classic status.
>Batman/Superman: World's Finest
it feels like old comics in the best possible way and is absolutely a classic
>Superman Smashes the Klan
it wouldn't be a classics list without a Superman elseworlds, and this is one of the best
that's one of the weird things about krakoa
most of the ongoings are GOOD but I wouldn't tell anybody to just "read X-Force by Benjamin Percy" or whatever
House of X/Powers of X, X of Swords, and A.X.E.: Judgment Day are standout events though, and they serve as the real main story of the era rather than just monthly "X-Men"
Not a single one of these is above decent. Some of them are straight up shit.
>(Sal from comic pop hates it)
who cares what that whiny fat b***h likes
>Sal from comic pop hates it
So?
>Ben Percy Ghost Rider
My anglo-saxons!
That's why I think Poster differented it with "Hickman's X-Men run", which is HoXPoX, Hickman's X-Men #1-12, and the Giant-Sized series. Those unarguably set the stage for Krakoa before the rest of the X-Men team fricked it.
I can tell you what WONT be.
I would pick Doctor Strange over Moon Knight
maybe Immortal X-Men
I wish I kept up with this
also need to read New Super-Man
none
Zdarsky's Daredevil, Immortal Hulk, and maybe Donny Cates Thor.
Justice League (Synder)
Avengers (Jason Arron)
Strange Academy
Ghost Rider
Shang Chi
Monkey Prince
Flash (Joshua Williamson)
Green Lantern (Joshua Williamson)
Supergirl : Girl From Tomorrow
Batman/Superman World Finest
Zdarsky's Daredevil
Radiant Black
None.
Christopher Priest Deathstroke
New Super-man
Immortal Hulk
Tom Taylor's Nightwing.
Maybe on Planet moron
the wrong earth
secon coming
kaijumax
deal with it, current year +8
>the wrong earth
Not good.
Unironically
Something is Killing the Children
The Nice House on the Lake
Danger Street
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
Tynion's wrote a lot of good stuff lately where would you place something like Worldtree, The Deviant, or Bluebook?
>Danger Street
>Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
Plunge
I give Punisher: Soviet credit for being the only good Frank book of the 20s.
It was ok.
supergil: being super was good
wonder woman dead earth
wonder woman by jill thompson that light comicbook from 7 years ago.
Scott Snyder's work
Scott Sneeder
>Mackay's Moon Knight
I read the first few issues and it was very, very mediocre. Does it actually get good at some point, or are you just looking at certain aspects that were done to your satisfaction?
I think a classic should be groundbreaking in one or more ways, and that's not at all what I saw in what I read of Moon Knight.
Marvel comics will be dead and forgotten in a decade.
Read Grendel it's way too underrated and goated
QRD?
Grendel follows the evolution of the Grendel persona through various characters across different time periods, exploring themes of power, corruption, and the cyclical nature of violence. It blends elements of crime noir, dystopian futures, and intricate storytelling, offering a complex narrative with striking artwork that delves into the darker aspects of human nature and societal decay
