Obviously Fisk still fights Spider-Man from time to time, but his most iconic and important hero/villain dynamic is definitely as Daredevil's arch-enemy, which came well after his introduction as a Spidey villain. Are there any other antagonists who debuted as one hero's nemesis but switched to primarily fighting someone else?
Some of the first comics I read were during Roger Sterns Avengers run, with Tom Palmer inking John Buscema. I always thought it looked great, and I really like Tom Palmers distinct style.
Daredevil Vol 1 #29
Edit: -BUGGED the crap out of me, meant to put that in the title, too late now.
Just...made a mini-tornado to mess with her boyfriend that's it. And even lamer, is for whatever reason was BENCHED from helping, semi-benching Sue Storm I GET as she was pregnant at the time, but even THEN she came in to save Reed in 69, while Crystal was STILL doing nothing despite being BASICALLY the Avatar!
Once again, I love the original run, but it was of its time is all I'm saying.

Especially for Cyclops, before this it was just light hinting, Cyclops mentioning how lonely he is, that sorta stuff.
Like hey, better late than never, but it was still odd.
Could be worse though, Mac Gargan the Scorpion has been around since the sixties and his origin is still "Private Eye with no past or known acquaintances becomes Scorpion-man".
What is your opinion?
Or maybe less that I hate him, more that in traditional Marvel fashion they take a cool name like freaking MEKANO and give it to some crybaby rich kid with daddy issues who wants to destroy a library because his dad didn't pay attention to him! URGH!
And he doesn't even have cool tech powers or anything, he just STOLE a mech harness from somewhere and THAT'S it, URGH.
Those who are familiar with "One-Shot Villain theater" are used to me talking about how I'd wish they'd return in some way but...UGH Thomas Regal you were LAME, an utterly pointless filler villain!
Maybe if a Hobgoblin franchisee bought the name I'd be down, but traditional Mekano, NO, uh uh.
Hi, I'm working on a project about the best/greatest/most experienced demon hunters in each fictional universe. In the Marvel universe, Ghost Rider is the only one that comes to mind, but I believe there might be others. A friend suggested Doctor Strange, but I wasn't sure if I should include him on the list since I don't know much about the character. So, could you please help me?
Just finished avengers and new avengers yesterday on marvel unlimited it was so epic I read like 25 issues in one day and ordered secret wars. It's finally arrived I can't wait to start it. Hopefully it will be as epic as they all say.

Excuse how dirty it is, I've had it for quite a while lol.
From what I can identify, the two obvious characters on it are Luke Cage and Daredevil. I'm very curious to know if these are real panels from the comics. The printing method made a lot of it illegible, but I tried to take some macro shots
Hello everyone,
I’ve been a comic books reader since I can remember. I’ve also worked in the comics industry for a good chunk of my adult life.
At some point, right after the Civil War saga, I lost interest in Marvel Comics (and mainstream comics in general) and only read a few sparse issues here and there.
I’d like to be recommended some storylines I might’ve missed that absolutely deserve a read.
When I think about my favorite Marvel Comics the following comes to mind:
- John Romita Jr’s golden era Spider-Man
- Todd McFarlane‘s Spider-man
- Kraven’s Last Hunt
- Spider-Man Reign
- Venom Lethal Protector
- Byrne’s Avengers
- Byrne‘s Alpha Flight
- Byrne’s X-Men
- BWS’s Weapon X
- Texeira/Hama’s Wolverine
- Claremont/Miller’s Wolverine
- Morrison/Quitely‘s New X-Men
- Jim Lee’s X-Men
- Miller’s Daredevil (both the original run and Man Without Fear)
What I didn’t like about what I was reading right around when I left:
- storylines dragging for too long with padding that felt like a TV show trying to squeeze every penny out of an IP.
- issues that you’d read in 5 minutes where nothing happened.
- Events every other day. Every issues or arc had to be part of a multi-title event.
- characters getting morphed into their movie counterpart.
- writers/artists becoming superstars and series getting hyped through the roof ending up not being worth the cover price.
At some point I was only reading TPB’s where the whole saga/arc would’ve been concluded already and reviews/word of mouth would confirm it was worth reading.
Thank you for the help.
Best.
I'm not too deep into comics, but I love to read the runs and issues that inspire the movies and shows of the MCU when I can. I just recently read The Sentry omnibus by Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee. I know the Secret Wars (2015) omnibus isn't considered fantastic due to lack of context, so I was wondering what I should read before reading Secret Wars?
I know his Avengers run is important, but I know there are also fantastic four and new avengers, but I am unsure of what all I should read in lead up to Secret Wars.
Every time I look at this and think about it
I’m disturbed for some reason
Am interested in Punisher Max but not available on Marvel Unlimited unfortunately. Is there a similar digital edition available elsewhere? Would prefer to read it on a phone or tablet if possible.
I've never read a comic before, but watched the 90s Spider-Man cartoon as a kid, and seen all the Spider-Man movies. So when I saw the The Amazing Spider-Man 2022 by Zeb Well was free on Webtoon, I decided to check it out. I figured this would be a good entry point into comics.
It started off really strong. It kinda started in the middle of the plot, but I'm Marvel savvy enough to keep up with who the characters and plot. First 11 chapters with Tombstone going to war with the other mobsters were EXCELLENT. Things stay consistently good through chapter 21. Peter is broke, Spidey is funny, the art is great, I recognize most of the villains, I can keep up with the plot, life is good.
Then shit goes off the rails.
Chapter 22 we're in the "Hellfire Gala" with no explanation. The X-Men are here, and I have no idea what's going on.
Chapter 24, once again, we've hoped story arcs with no transition. Something about "Celestial Progenitors".
Chapter 32 isn't even The Amazing Spider-Man, it's "The Dark Web", and we're in purgatory now?
What I NEED to know, is if this is just how comics normally work? Are there usually huge gaps in continuity where the plot goes off under a different title, then picks back up in the original title? Or did the person who uploaded this to Webtoon start smoking crack 22 uploads in?
