What is your favorite comic, that one you’ve read over and over again that has a special place in your heart?
Mine would be Peter Milligan and Mike Allred’s X-Force/X-Statix. I love how wacky and over the top the story is, and I can’t help but fall in love with the characters despite them being total scumbags. And of course, I can never get enough of Mike Allred’s amazing pop art style brought to life by Laura Allred’s colors. X-Force 124, the Darwyn Cooke fill-in issue that tells Edie Sawyer’s origin story, is up there for one of the best single issues I’ve ever read.
The Alan Moore/Jamie Delano/Alan Davis Captain Britian run is always going to be a favourite of mine. Mainly as it’s one of the first books I read a whole run through and also it’s Moores only extended work for Marvel. I wish they would reprint in in the OG B+W art rather than coloured.
Is it possible to read on Marvel’s unlimited online subscription? I’ve HEARD about Cap Britain but, being American, he’s always been a fairly obscure “sword to Cap America’s shield” if that makes sense?
They don’t appear to have the Moore stuff unfortunately.
They have the OG silver age stuff https://share.marvel.com/sharing/series/drn:src:marvel:unison::prod:56496551-b346-4fdf-8e18-5f7690ca47c0

I guess Moore is hard to get to agree to re-releases. They did do an omnibus at one point and in the 90s it was reprinted as part of X-Men Archives. All the reprints are in colour unfortunately as the OG was B&W and better for it in my opinion.
