Marvel's Top 70 Comics of All Time - #70 to #65

Marvel have begun their TOP 70 MARVEL COMICS OF ALL TIME, as voted by the public, in honor of Marvel’s 70th Anniversary. Check out what made it in from 70 to 65 and let me know what you guys think should be on the list or what should be number one. Cap #25 has got to be up there for me...or Cable #1. I'll cover the list over the coming weeks.

Number 70 - X-Men #30
Over 30 years after meeting as two of Professor Xavier's first students, Cyclops and Jean Grey finally tied the knot. The only one not celebrating? Poor old "I've got a crush on Jean" Wolverine.

Number 69 - Captain America #34
When Steve Rogers was killed in CAPTAIN AMERICA #25, a nation mourned and fans everywhere said he could never be replaced. Less than a year later, Bucky Barnes stepped into the (albeit updated) Cap costume and proved that Captain America lives on.

Number 68 - Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk #1
Great writer? Check. Amazing artist? You betcha. Cool premise? For sure. What really got people talking? Two pages in and Hulk tore Wolverine in half. That might've been rough for Wolvie, but it was wonderful for everyone reading.

Number 67 - Wolverine #75
Fans love to see their heroes win, but when the usually unflappable characters lose—when they suffer—readers can't help but devour the story. Wolvie's adamantium removed by Magneto, this issue deals with the horrific aftermath.

Number 66 - New Avengers #29
It's the New Avengers vs. the Mighty Avengers in a classic hero-team battle! And just before Secret Invasion!

Number 65 - Astonishing X-Men #6
Joss Whedon and John Cassaday capped off their first X-arc here, bringing Colossus firmly back into the X-verse and creating a new benchmark for the X-Men.
