Favorite mini series?

[Riffster]

I love the Untold legends of The Batman, i just bought the trade for it
also gotta mention
Crisis on infinite Earths
Secret Wars

[Earth 2 Chris]

I didn't know Untold Legend was out in TPB. I have the little Tor paperback from the early 80s. I read that thing to death! I also have the mini-version that came with those audio tapes.

That would probably be my #1 pic for mini. Others that I tend to go back and reread are Crisis on Infinite Earths and Tales of the New Teen Titans, off the top of my head.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^I've had it collected for so long, it's easy to forget the impact Kingdom Come had on me as a mini series. I couldn't wait for it to finally come out, and then the wait between issues was torture.

JLA vs the Avengers

Others that I really like are:

Camelot 3000

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
Marvels
Wolverine (Miller/Claremont)
Tales of the Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern: Rebirth
Hulk: Future Imperfect
Batman Year One

Superman/Batman: Generations

And I still have a soft spot for World of Krypton, the 1st mini-series from DC or Marvel

[madmarva]

Everybody's lists are really good. I would include a lot of ones listed, but here's a few I didn't notice, although I may have missed them.

Squadron Supreme
Hawkeye from 1980s
Ronin
Phanton Zone (weird but cool to see to see Colon art on a Superman comic)
Robin mini
The Nail

I dearly loved The untold Legend of the Batman comic and other comics like it that reviewed the entire history of a character.

X-Men 138 (funeral for Jean Grey) filled in a lot of X-Men history for me.
Action 500 is a great silver-age origin and really life story of Superman up to that point.
Green Lantern either 198 or 200 did the same with Hal Jordan and what was cool Joe Staton ghosted the art of guys like Kane and Adams to match the retelling of the stories.
Byrne and Stern did an excellent recap of Captain America's origin and WWII life in their run in the early 1980s.

While continuity has become more convoluted over the years, stories like these from time to time are great for catching new fans up and a nice trip down memory lane for longtime readers.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I loved those recap issues. Another great one is World's Finest #271, with all of the various origins of the Superman/Batman team.

I should have mentioned the first Robin mini. I loved Chuck Dixon's take on Robin. He made Tim Drake such a great character...
