The Dark Phoenix saga was pretty cool... it was one of the last archs I followed of X-Men until Age of Apopcalypse came out.

Now THAT was a neat idea... Apocalypse ruling America while lots of mutants and other superheros (Iron Man, Avenger's Members) duked it out against Apoc and his forces. I liked seeing the characters in a different form... a bit overthetop at times, but it was still a great series.

The marvel TPB's that are really thick and black and white, are the Essentials line. They're not too bad an investment at 14.99 a pop for over 500-800 pages. I picked up the Howard the Duck Essential and it was fun to read it. Afterwards, I finally finished off my Howard the Duck series..so now I just read the Essentials, as it was a killer to find alot of those issues in decent to excellent condition.

and just to keep it on topic: Avengers Disassembled was one of the greatest arcs in recent history. Hawkeye biting it was sad as hell.

Red Skull attacked Dr. Strange. Dr. Doom went for the X-Men. Magneto battled the Avengers. Loki blindsided the Fantastic Four; and so on.

I forget the name of this arc, as it was in the 80s, but it was an exciting read for fans of any of the major titles, as people got to see new villains appear and found their heroes in unfamiliar territory. The writing wasn't as crisp or brazen as it is now but for the time, it was quite revolutionary.

Days of Vengeance. One plotline I really liked was Magneto's punishment for the Red Skull, which was a logical extension of Magneto being a Holocaust survivor and Red Skull being a Nazi.

You're a dumbass. Inane events thrown right after each other and having Strange be a deus ex machina isn't anywhere near "one of the greatest arcs in recent history".
