| Annuals, if they weren't reprints, were often an opportunity to tell a longer and more complete story. I tend to remember them being some of my favorite and most fulfilling reads. I've kind of over-looked them as a collector but now I'm thinking about picking some up, both to read and to collect. Anyone got some favorites that they think I should pick up? Either for collectable purposes or for reading purposes? | ||

| Uncanny X-Men Annual #4. Based on Dante's Inferno to an extent. I enjoyed it. | ||

| Side note - Evolutionary War, Atlantis Attacks would both be good universe spanning all character involving MCU movie ideas! | ||

| I never cared for the globetrotting continued stories that encompassed every annual published in a given year. Of course Avengers Annual 10 is a good read along with the Fantastic Four Annual where Black Blot and Medusa get married. Number 18, I think. |

| I'll throw in a vote for DC and recommend Superman Annual #11 with its fantastic 'For the Man Who Has Everything' story by Alan Moore. So fraggin' awesome it even got animated. | ||

| If you just want a stand-alone story this is one I remember fondly from my past. It's not among the greatest of all stories... but for a kid, it was pretty good. Still a favorite. Marvel Two-in-One Annual #7 (Don't read the overview/synopsis unless you're not going to read it as a comic.) https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/9238641/marvel-two-in-one-annual-7  |

| Back in the day, Armageddon 2001 from DC comics was a great read. I'm not sure how it holds up to the storylines of today, but they were fun to read. I feel the books below are some with the better stories. Superman Annual #3 - Armageddon 2001 tie-in (really cool story that has a The Dark Knight Returns twist to it). Hawk & Dove Annual #2 - Armageddon 2001 tie-in Teen Titans Annual #7 - Armageddon 2001 tie-in |

| Avengers Annual 7, but you’ll also want to read Marvel Two in One Annual #2 as they are a continuation of the story. Reader copies are still very affordable. | ||

| If you happen to like Alan Moore's writings he wrote a number of DC annuals in the 80s. Swamp Thing Annual #2 Superman Annual #11 Batman Annual #11 (he wrote one story in that one) |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I don't like the way MJ is written and the guy who is attempting to talk her out of marriage the entire time grates on me. I just looked up some of the pricing in the Mile High comics ad in it. In 1987, a Giant Size X-Men 1 was 72.00. X-Men 94 was 90.00. An X-Men 120 was 24.00, 129 was 9.50, 130 was 11.00, Daredevil 158 was 21.00, Daredevil 131 was 3.25, and most of Miller's run was 2.00 to 11.00. I stopped looking up books. I got depressed looking at those prices. |

This was the one I always wanted as a kid but didn't have the money to pay for. Finally read it last year, it wasn't very good: This is the one that sticks in my memory from the early 80's:  This is the one I remember enjoying reading more than once:  |
