Grant Morrison's JLA (1996)
First and last arc were perfection, peak super-team writing. Kyle was a standout character, I've been a GL fan for a while but I think this sealed him as my favorite. Good thing I do a lot of Wikipedia binges so I could understand the context of a lot of the references.

The Marvels Project (2009)
A thoroughly decent comic that has two things I'm personally a sucker for; a superhero period piece where the setting is integral to the story and a character arc of a robot learning to be human. Also, Nazis get killed, so it's at least an A tier in my book.

Doctor Fate (2015)
Slow burn for me. First arc felt like boring "teenage superhero origin" material taking too long to get interesting, but once Kent enters the picture things start ramping up. Liew's artstyle ended up growing on me, I'd love to see him on a more mainstream title like Spider-Man.

The Immortal Doctor Fate (1985)
Old-school goodness. The two main themes I love are the massive reality-spanning scale of the fights and the classic Man vs Mask conflict, and how those two aspects intertwine. I liked Dr. Fate before, but it definitely made me understand the appeal of Kent Nelson.

The Unstoppable Wasp (2017/2018)
Great representation in so many ways (especially for New Jersey)
The comedy's great but the emotion really hits when it needs to, you really feel for Nadia (a great protagonist, btw)
The other characters are also well-written, I really like what they did with Janet.

All-Star Superman (2005)
A bit overhyped for me. Try as I might, I can't vibe with Quitely's art. The beginning and ending are fire, but the pacing feels off in the middle chunk where the concept isn't in focus. That said, it still nails Superman's character and showcasing wacky Silver Age concepts.

Thor: God of Thunder (2014)
Really like the Young Thor parts, I like seeing the character prior to becoming a hero. Old Thor feels kind of generic in comparison.
Gorr's a great villain, feels like the right level of threat and motivation to oppose Thor.
Whatever Ribic gets paid, double it.
