Then you get the epic battle between Superman and Batman as icing on the cake. It is the book that I think about when I think about The Dark Knight Returns.

Daredevil 189 -– A fitting conclusion to Miller's run with Stick, the Hand, and Stone . Ninjas are battling and dying all over the place. Stick dies or at least we think he does. The majority of the pages include fight sequences with no dialogue. Miller is a master storyteller at his peak in the book.

Batman 428 – Jason Todd is eliminated by a 900-number vote.
At the time, 1-900 numbers were everywhere. For years, it altered Batman's trajectory. It also foreshadows what is to come in comics, which would annihilate the industry in the 1990s - the book-selling gimmick.

Green Lantern: The Long Bow Hunters 1 – Oliver was dealing with real-life challenges both within himself and in society. It was the first comic I read that seemed to be set in the real world, with the hero beginning to have doubts about things that weren't comic book related.

i called and voted for robin to live
it was a genius move by dc to get the readers attention

TMNT 1 – It was a funny/goofy book that became popular and ushered in the independent publishing mania that followed.
