IMO, his runs on Avengers and Amazing Spider-Man stand out as two of the finest runs of those respective titles-perhaps the finest for Avengers. On Spider-Man, perhaps second only to Stan Lee.


But now you must choose.

I've always been more of an Avengers kid than a Spidey kid, so Eath's Mightiest Heroes gets my vote, but, truth be told, he did a phenomenal job on both titles!

I've read his Spidey, Cap, Superman, and a handful of others, but never his Avengers. I'll go with Spidey, because it was one for the ages.

I have a bigger attachment to his Avengers run with Big John B. on art chores..i read that one as it came out...my first issue was the one with Terminus on the cover...i LOVED how Hercules took him down. The Masters of Evil saga...the Greek Gods...just amazing action packed stuff!

The Avengers.

There hasn't been as good of a run before it, or since.


And, I haven't read all of the Spidey run. ;)

When I think "Avengers" it isn't Cap, Thor, Iron Man...It's Cap, Wasp, Hercules, Black Knight, Captain Marvel & Starfox.

I thought the thread title referred to some divorce case you were working on.

I voted for Spider-Man, but really, both runs were great.

Im the same way...that was my dream team of Avengers...with a helping of guest stars of course (loved it when Thor came back to help against the Masters of Evil!)

Avengers. It's my favorite Avengers run.

Stern's Avenger's run is one of my all-time favourite runs of all. Gotta give the nod to the Avengers

I thought this was about the divorce proceedings of a certain boss jock on satellite radio whom detractors have nicknamed "Big Bird."

I'm a Spidey guy, and Roger's run with Romita Jr. is still darn near my all-time favorite run on the book.

And, not to sound too self-serving while getting all sentimental at the same time, I definitely had Roger's Spider-Man (along with Stan & Steve's) in mind when I was writing the character for this year's upcoming Marvel Holiday Special.

Well, if Spidey wasn't my fave it would be a hard choice for me.

Loved them both, but for some reason I have more nostalgia for The Avengers run, so I went with that.

Roger wrote a good AVENGERS. He may have written the best SPIDER-MAN ever.

Yes, you read that correctly. You disagree? Bring it!!
