Star Wars #43 - "The Ashes of Jedha, Part VI"

[laughing_tree]

This is me as the Uber writer coming in and going, “The Rebellion? What does that even mean? What are your tactics to try and stop the Empire?” On one level Star Wars is a heroic space fantasy, but it’s like, “What are you actually doing to rebel?” -- Kieron Gillen

Deathstroke #28 - "Chinatown, Part One"

[laughing_tree]

Not only was Marv’s Deathstroke a villain, he was also kind of an asshole, which I thought was unique. He wasn’t some misunderstood anarchist; he deliberately did skeevy things-most notably sleeping with Terra, a presumably underage girl – in his quest to exact revenge against his enemies. I read that and went, “Whoa.” This was beyond The Joker, well beyond Lex Luthor. Marv created the first modern supervillain. He broke every rule by making Deathstroke three-dimensional and giving him internal conflicts while maintaining a level of skeeve we weren’t used to seeing from a typical 2-dimensional bad guy. -- Christopher J. Priest

Bendis' Daredevil Part 1: Underboss

[cyberghostface]

I posted this series back in 2015 but with Bendis leaving Marvel I wanted to do something to look back at his career and in my opinion his Daredevil run was his best work.

Black Panther #14 - "Turbulence"

[superboyprime]

"I thought Panther could and likely should have been the Batman of the Marvel U. That character archetype was missing from Marvel’s pantheon, and Panther’s origins and motives are different enough from Batman’s to prevent him from being called a Batman rip-off." - Christopher Priest
