Secret Wars was awesome. My introduction to the whole Marvel Universe.

Does Kree-Skrull War refer to some recent thing, or is that a reference to the original with Roy and Neal?

Because I can't vote for any of those, but if it was the original, that would give me an out.

Secret Wars - Never read it, and based on what I've heard of it, it's likely I never will.
Crisis on Infinite Earths - I like certain aspects of it, but it wasn't a very well written comic book
Death of Superman - Some of it was good, some of it was terrible and went on too long.
Knightfall - Unreadable to me.
Wolverine Loses Adamantium - I suppose by this you mean Fatal Attractions. I liked it years ago, but I doubt it stands the test of time
DC One Million - Guess which one gets my vote?
Kree-Skrull War - Never read it.
Final Night - I like it a lot. Don't know if it's because it's actually good or a guilty pleasure.
Final Crisis - Not finished yet.
Civil War - Garbage
World War Hulk - Very good. I enjoyed it a lot.
Secret Invasion - Didn't finish it. Terrible.

Secret Wars - it was great to read when I was a youngster. I've no idea if it would hold up now, but I absolutely loved it at the time.

And I agree with Rafael's opinion of Secret Invasion. I think it's easily the worst thing Marvel have done since JQ took over...and that's saying something.

House of M was my least favourite. Absolutely nothing I liked in it.

Awful, awful, awful.

Secret Wars- Pretty lame.
Crisis on Infinite Earths- I can't say I enjoyed the story all that much, but I loved the art.
Death of Superman- Pretty decent overall, but the art is generally atrocious (I'm including the Return storyline as well here)
Knightfall- I liked this overall.
Wolverine Loses Adamantium- Seemed lame at the time, haven't read it in years.
DC One Million- It's alright, I read the trade. LOVED the ending, can't even remember the rest.
Kree-Skrull War- A big let-down, especially after hearing years of hype.
Final Night- Never read it. DC's art during the 90's was mostly awful so I kept far away.
Final Crisis- Haven't finished it, not impressed so far.
Civil War- Good, but not great.
World War Hulk- This got my vote, it was pretty awesome.
Secret Invasion- Shit.

Valiant's UNITY crossover.

-first part? FREE!
- you actually DON'T need to read every title in the crossover
- the crossover was important, making changes to the characters, introducing new ones and adding to the individual titles rather than derailing them!

Unity was a good one. For a time, Valiant was putting out some really good comics.

COIE. I was a Marvel brat until this multi-universe shattering maxi-series came out. I had read a cross-over between JLA, JSA and All-Star Squadron a couple years earlier (versus Per Degaton and the Crime Syndicate) and I thought the multiverse was a cool concept. I liked that the Monitor showed up before the big event in LoSH and TT.

This felt like BIG concept stuff to me. Doesn't hold up as well now (still not bad) but I was geeked about it at the time.

Secret Wars was probably less enjoyable for me cuz Piotr and Kitty broke up. :-(

I would probably vote for the Avengers Defenders War.
That was really my first big cross-over comic.

The rest of these big events have been all rather so-so at best,
Some of the ideas are good, but the execution hasn't been all that great.
None of them lived up to their hype.

I voted the Skull-Kree War, but that event that wasn't as satisfying as I hoped
before I went back and collected those issues.

I finally read the Skrull-Kree war years after reading ABOUT it ... and was very disappointed. No way it could live up the hype.

Likewise the Avengers / Defenders war. I was buying it as a kid, but local distribution sucked,
and I only got about 1/2 of the issues. I think it was how I really wanted the rest of the story,
and how I had to piece together and imagine what happened that made it really strong for me
as a kid. When I finally bought all of the issues (last year, I finally got the missing Defenders
issues), it was, you know, just a long cross-over.

Cool as shit as the time, though, because of how little those types of comics ever happened.
My Dad had a few issues of early JSA/JLA crossovers, too. Damn how I loved those! :ohyes:
Now I dread that shit.

SECRET WARS, I guess. The writing is kind of weak, but it really was almost a company-wide event, maybe the first I'd ever really noticed. Big (if temporary) changes in the lives of Spider-Man and the FF and the X-Men (the Peter/Kitty break-up) made it seem like a serious thing.

The Mike Zeck issues looked great, too.
