Top 5 Hardcovers Of The Past 3 Years

[Cletus Kasady]

I've recently come into quite a fair deal of money, well a fair deal for a poor uni student lol. So my first thoughts are to buy some nice Hardcovers that ive had to go without for a while. Im simply here to ask, what shoudl i buy?
To make this more thread worthy lets make a list, your top 5 hardcover releases of the past few years lets say 3.

Enjoy.

[RowdyRodimus]

Captain America Omnibus
Thunderbolts: Faith in Monsters
Kravens Last Hunt
Spider-Man omnibus
Agents of Atlas

Those are mine, I'm sure people will disagree.

[DirtyHarrington]

Captain America Omnibus, Books of Doom, and the three Runaways OHCs.

Those are the ones I own that I like the best.

Do you want to keep this limited to Marvel? Because my top five would be:

Absolute Sandman v.1
Absolute Sandman v.2
Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories
The Immortal Iron Fist: The Last Iron Fist Story
Captain America Omnibus v.1

If you're only looking for Marvel, though, swap those first three out for:

Silver Surfer Omnibus v.1
Thunderbolts: Faith in Monsters
Punisher: Max v.1

[Christopher Cross Is God]

For Marvel, I'd say:

Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt.......The storyline is from the 80's, and, in my opinion, is the best Spider-Man story ever written.

Annihilation Book 3
Thunderbolts: Faith in Monsters
Agents Of Atlas

Not sure about the fifth choice. I guess:

Killraven Premiere Hardcover (by Alan Davis) ......This wasn't bad at all, although it seemed to get mixed reviews.

Two books which haven't come out yet, but I highly recommend for future buying purposes, are:

Nova vol. 1: Annihilation Conquest (out in late Dec)

Clan Destine Classic Premiere (out in Feb) ....Here's a url for this one:

Runaways volume 1 is the best thing evah!

I lent it to a woman at work who loves LoTR, Potter and fantasy stuff and she thought it was awesome. It's THE thing to give non-comic readers to show them what they're missing imo

Complete Young Avengers vol 1 is out in January, can't go wrong with that.

[Zombienorthstar]

The Runaways vol.1 hardcover, has alot of bang for your buck, eighteen issues and TONS of extras. Plus really accessible, no prior knowledge required really.

2 and 3 are good as well if you're throwing money around.

Runaways

the ultimates

[Frodo-X]

I've only bought one.

Captain America Omnibus (Ed Brubaker)

I would absolutely recommend you get it. Absolute excellence!

I have pre-ordered the Young Avengers one that's coming in January, but I can't recommend it yet as I've not read any of it before.

[Lord S]

I've only ever bought three hardcovers:

The Eternals
X-Men: Deadly Genesis
Planet Hulk

They're all pretty decent...though it felt like a chore to read 'The Eternals', at times.

[Maestro]

New X-Men Omnibus

Captain America Omnibus

Daredevil by Frank Miller Omnibus

Planet Hulk

Wolverine: Enemy of the State

As you can see, omnibus is the way to go!

[Siddon]

Runaways volume 1 - 18 issues best series marvel has put out ever

Planet Hulk - very good solo story with the Hulk on a Planet doing very Hulkish things

X-factor volume 1 - its a noir type story but its the best X-book out ever

Thunderbolts - faith in monsters - a must have

Captain America Omnibus - a pretty good ride

[matthewaos]

So many good stories...

Kraven's Last Hunt, Weapon X, Moon Knight vol 1, Ghost Rider: Trial of Tears and Road to Damnation, Iron Fist vol 1, Punisher MAX (volumes 1, 4, 5, 6 and the Barracuda mini)...

Runaways volume 1 - 18 issues best series marvel has put out ever


Amen to that.
