I don't know how many of you know about the Marvel Ultimate Graphic Novel Collection. I already have most of the collected material but the couple issues I have picked up have impressed me. Nice presentation, good information about context and the creators and a really good price to boot.
Of course I think I could put together a better selection for new readers to get into Marvel. I'm the sort of person who likes making lists*
Sad, I know.
and I think it would be fun to compare what we'd each like random people's first taste of the MU to be like. So post the first 12 issues of your list, keeping in mind you'd have to appease execs who'd want modern and popular stuff on the list.
Spider-Man: Big Time*
Havent yet read it, but I feel obliged to start with modern Spider-Man and I hate JMS's work
Wolverine*
Classic, and there's a film out soon
Planet Hulk pt1*
I don't even like this, but it's a concession to modern Hulk.
Marvels*
Does it need an explanation?
X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills*
Was always intended as an X-Men intro.
She-Hulk Single Green Female*
One of the funniest Marvel books that isn't semi obscure.
Spider-Man: The Master Planner Saga*
The Best Spider-Man story
Daredevil: Born Again*
Some of Miller's best work.
Nick Fury: Agent of Shield*
Steranko is my favourite Comic book artist.
Punisher: Welcome Back Frank pt1*
A good look at the darker side of Marvel.
Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus*
My favourite Kirby work.
Secret War*
A good introduction to the Bendis era of Marvel.
Feel free to make a DC list , although I found that much harder for various reasons.
