Well said! This will be appearing later in my own list. It does bother me a bit that Barks' works don't meet our criteria for a saga, but I'm glad his best disciple rightfully earns a place in his honor. Why not? |

Barks doesn't have any stories totaling 40 or more pages that I know of, and I'd struggle with how to combine several of his stories into one united saga. |

Usually when I think of Barks, I think of the Scrooge Era. |

What I've read from Day 1 (aside from my own choice obviously):
-Elric in parts
-The Authority
-Death and Return of Superman
-Avengers 16-25
-Grimjack in part (I need to complete the run someday)
-the JLA/JSA cross-over in part (I've read a bunch of them form he trades and issues I owned but not all of them)
-JLA/The Nail
-part of the Englehart/Rogers run on Detective
-Kingdom Come
-part of the Lee/Kirby FF run (I paused at 55 on my binge read of it and I have read parts of the rest of the run too)
-Claremont's X-Men
and I have Grendel War Child but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. So have at least sampled most of today's choices.

Justice #1-12 (2005-2007) by Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, and Doug Braithwaite Story Overview: The Super Friends vs the Legion of Doom. Is that good enough? My Two Cents: Secret Wars made superheroes go BOOM! to mediocre effect. Crisis on infinite Earths made whole universes go BOOM! to confusing effect. Watchmen suggested that maybe letting our world go BOOM! is the only way forward. But for simple comic book action fun, this series outshines all three, as the world’s meanest supervillains unite first for a series of inexplicably philanthropic gestures, followed by an organized strike against the World’s Finest heroes. Aquaman of all people emerges as the series focal point, making a case for him far beyond talking to fish. Alex Ross’ art is in its usual fine form, showing every wrinkle on the brow of our beleaguered heroes, and every tooth in many a villainous smirk. Nobody has time to sit around and discuss the meaning of the universe here, but it’s still twelve issues of good popcorn fun with strong, heroic characterizations. Pull out your Super Powers action figures, and play along! BAM! PYOWWWW….
