I enjoyed the Englehart/Brunner/then Colan issues a lot more myself, but this era definitely had some good ideas as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-61973225217998086282014-08-24T15:47:08.389-04:002014-08-24T15:47:08.389-04:00Fun list, especially by omitting the obvious choic...Fun list, especially by omitting the obvious choices. I definitely second the Moon Knight pick, and have to add Alpha Flight, which was one of my three titles I bought every month for most of the decade (X-Men and Daredevil being the other two).<br /><br />Power Man and Iron Fist were characters I always liked, but for some reason almost never bought (budget constraints). Still glad to see them here.<br /><br />As for Defenders, they were also favourites, but not so much the "new" issues as the old six-fingered hand/Squadron Supreme-fighting line-up.<br /><br />Speaking of the Squadron, not sure they should count, being a limited series and all, but they definitely were a highlight of the Marvel 80s.<br /><br />Mind you, if we are extending "titles" to include limited runs, why not mention one of the greatest 80s titles of all: Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe! Another great hallmark of the Marvel 80s (and another fine contribution by Mark Gruenwald, no less!) both volumes definitely provided something to look forward to every month, namely hours of perusing and some very cool discoveries of new characters.<br /><br />Good times! Thanks for the memories...<br />david p.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
