1. How the heck did they pick them? By tween-vote? About a third are from the last four years.

Although he wasn't always my favorite, Bill Sienkiewicz should have been represented IMO, if only because his style was such a daring departure from Marvel's conventional imagery.

And I'm really surprised that The Death of Captain Marvel didn't make the cut, for its controversial imagery alone:



It also occurs to me that the exact same book, if released today, would probably cost $29.95 and would be released with fifteen variant covers...

2. What a joke!

I don't think I would pick more than 5 of these.
I think #49 should be much higher.

4. I have that comic and the HJulk vs the Thing....

5. That was a fun comic,

but so far from John Buscema's best.
This one for instance;

7. You can pick up

Marvel's Essential. All 18 issues.

Check Ebay.

8. Cool...

3. Yeah, a lot of weird choices there

but then, a lot of covers from the 60s-80s were pretty unremarkable, whereas in the last 20 years I think there has been a trend to produce more fully painted, artistic covers.

But there should have been more Ross and Cassaday covers for sure!

9. Ho-hum selection in general, but #61 is the most badass-looking cover in the history of ever:
