1. Amazing Spider-Man #415
#2 Astonishing X-Men #5
The X-Men had gone to find a mutant cure that was concocted by Dr. Kavita Rao, who developed the cure with the alien Ord. Beast wants to use the cure after his secondary mutation turns him into the more catlike Beast. This issue was awesome because it had the return of Colossus. He sacrificed himself years before to cure the Legacy Virus. I loved when Kitty turns a corner and her jaw drops at the site of Colossus! She is running from the bad guys and she phases and just stops and Colossus beats the dudes chasing Kitty. She is just standing there and can't believe what happened.

This series was awesome because it was written like it should have been a T.V. show. This issue didn't have any fighting in it at all. It had a three F.B.I. agents discussing the seized items from The Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk. One of Wilson's men confessed to an F.B.I. agent that Matt Murdock was Daredevil and The Kingpin knew about it for years but didn't tell anyone else. The agents all discuss that this information must not leave the room. The final page has Foggy going to purchase a newspaper and one claims that Matt Murdock is Daredevil! This changed the landscape for Daredevil for the next few years because everyone was gunning for the blind lawyer who was outed as Daredevil.
4. Iron Man #30
Tony Stark's armor becomes sentient and wants to replace Tony because he is flawed. It takes him to a remote island and plans on killing Tony. The machine is about to kill him when he is summoned by an Avengers call and he leaves. Tony manages to use some training Captain America taught him and survive to make some weapons to try to fight his armor. Iron Man is about to kill Tony when a sudden heart attack overcomes Tony. He pleads for the robot to just kill him and be done with it. The robot instead pulls out its own chest and lodges it into Tony giving him life. This was awesome because Tony Stark was vulnerable and about to die when his own creation decided to give his creator life.
This issue was awesome because this is the first time you find out a Skrull is among the heroes of the Marvel Universe. I remember thinking if Elektra is a skrull who else is going to turn up being one? It isn't until the last few pages when you find out but it changed the Marvel Universe. I couldn't wait til Secret Invasion but that wasn't as amazing as I thought it could have been.
I remember going into the comic shop and always wondered what the hell is going on. The city is collapsing on the X-Men?!?! When I finally purchased this I was surprised Colossus ends up killing Proteus because there is no way to stop him. His weakness is metal and of course the X-Men have a guy who can turn into metal. Besides the obvious weakness it was crazy seeing Proteus just do whatever he wanted to with his crazy warping powers.
I remember seeing this on the comic wall and thinking it was in continuity. I hadn't read comics long to know that there was alternate dimensions and alternate futures. I remember seeing this and thinking that most of these characters were killed because I didn't really pay attention to a lot of the characters yet. Of course I this is the story that everyone loves but I somehow got this in a trade which collects the two issues. I had that in middle school and I thought I was the only one in my area that knew about the coolness of alternate future where the X-Men are almost extinct. This cover just grabs you because of all the names and what happened to them.
I had always known that the Juggernaut was this unstoppable force and that he was always one of the toughest guys in the Marvel U. This issue marks the first time I started collecting Uncanny with a pull box. This was the first issue I read and it blew my mind that Juggernaut was afraid of someone who pretty much threw him from Canada to the United States...New Jersey to be exact! I couldn't wait to find out what happened to him but this awesome story called the Age of Apocalypse took over for the next few months. When the regular story returned I was still wondering who the hell was Juggernaut afraid of.
Well it took a full year until I found out who the Juggernaut was afraid of. It was Professor X! I couldn't believe that things stemmed all the way back to Fatal Attractions where Xavier pulled apart Magneto's mind. I began reading X-Men the same time with Uncanny but this X-Men was easier to collect because it came out in the 90's. I quickly got all the other issues so when it tied into Fatal Attractions I had read that and it was cool that they used that as the point of Professor being corrupt.
Starring in his own series after Annihilation, Nova comes to Earth to relax and catch up with his parents but gets interrupted by Iron Man. Tony tells him that he needs to register to be a hero or he will be put away. Rich asks Tony why nobody came to help him out in space to fight Annihilus in the awesome Annihilation War.
The next day Nova catches a criminal and then gets crap from the police because he isn't registered. Then the police start blaming him for the Stamford incident because of his affiliations with the New Warriors. The Thunderbolts come busting in to arrest Nova because he doesn't have a registration. This story pretty much reminded me of Rambo. He comes back home and just wants to relax but the police won't let him settle down in their town. Nova only stays home for two issues before he decides that this Civil War is total nonsense. He'd rather be a protector of worlds than be harassed by Iron Man to register to try to make the world a better place.
If I had to replace one of the X-Men I'd replace it with Avengers Finale
The Avengers get together in the aftermath of Disassembled and reminisce about every Avenger team. Knowing that this was it for the classic Avengers team this was a very sad issue. I remember seeing the solicits for the New Avengers and thinking they will never be as great as the old school classic Avengers. I still love the old team because everyone is an Avenger now. I like the new concept of Avengers but the reason they put together the New Avengers is to not get too close to their teammates. That's what usually makes most team books great is the coming together as family.
Well thats all I got and I'm hoping to get my 10 favorite DC list sometime this week.
