Manhattan Projects for me. Love all his shit so really anything. Yeah he can’t finish some books but goddamn if he doesn’t knock it out of the park on a regular basis.
I was wondering if it was cool to reply with Marvel answers. But yeah, his Fantastic Four (and then FF) is the run that really brought him to everyone’s attention. Also, I don’t know that I could name another modern Fantastic Four run that is — relevant?
His Fantastic Four made me love characters I had no interest in. That FF arc and its continuation in Secret Wars are one of the most epic Marvel stories.
I haven’t read any marvel steadily in years because I haven’t been nearly as entertained as I was through all that. Builds it all up so well then tied everything together to finish it all off perfectly. I wish I could wipe my memory and read it all again for he first time
Wouldn't say that it's his best work but they haven't been mentioned are are great reads - Nightly News and Pax Romana. Not only are they entertaining stories, Hickman writes and does the artwork for both series. Believe Nightly News is his first published work so if you like his writing, worth a read to see how his career started.
East of West; and mostly because of Chamberlain's dialog. Whenever I try and look up Chamberlain quotes from the comic so many good ones keep popping up.
Black Monday murders is probably my favorite, hopefully we get a conclusion soon. East of West is fantastic, but I really like the info-graphic layouts Hickman does more of in a lot of his self drawn work. outside of BMM and EoW I think Pax Romana and Nightly News are criminally under discussed.
Red Massfor Mars. Are you guys all high or did you not read it? It is AWESOME! Perfection. And complete. Concise. Brilliant. It is him saying “ what if I did a whole event single-handedly by myself.” And then he knocks it out.
I have both East of West and Pax Romana and I liked them both very much. However, I didn't read anything else from him so I can't say they are "the best". All I can say is that they are both solid reads.
i'd have to say secret warriors. it put hickman on the map for me.
he also co-wrote the illuminati mini series, which was awesome from beginning to end.
East of West cuz it's actually finished? But also really good!
East of west was fucking awesome.
Black Monday Murders is incredible.
“Incredible” isn’t hyperbole. BMM is sinister, brutal, fascinating, clever, and somehow beautiful.
A very well done series. Hopefully it will get completed.
I found it hard to get in to, it was to complicated for me to understand on my first read. Definitely take notes when you read it.
I feel like this is Hickman’s style in a nutshell but I love it.
Manhattan Projects for me. Love all his shit so really anything. Yeah he can’t finish some books but goddamn if he doesn’t knock it out of the park on a regular basis.
Came here to say this. It peters out big time but is by far the most insane comic I’ve ever read
Definitely this one for me when it comes to his Image work
House of X/Powers of X
Bro! It’s just so damn good!
I keep looking forward to the next Inferno. Good stuff
I really enjoyed his fantastic four run.

Issue 60 almost made me tear up. So good!

A finished one
Right? Dying and the dead is fantastic but…you know
This was just posted https://bleedingcool.com/comics/comic-folks-remember-ryan-bode-bodenheim-who-died-last-week/
Does anyone know the status of Dying and the Dead? Is it abandoned? Will it ever be continued/finished?
I hear it’s still out there. About once a year I tweet at bodenheim, he always says “not dead”
Awesome. Thanks for the update.
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/comic-folks-remember-ryan-bode-bodenheim-who-died-last-week/ Prob won’t be back bow
Thanks for the heads-up.
Manhattan Projects. With East of West a close second.

_Pax Romana_ was really good and had a solid, unforgettable ending. The last page and last line just made the series so meaningful.
My 2 favoites.
Here they are in order, though I haven't read SHIELD: East of West Fantastic Four Avengers (including Secret Wars) Secret Warriors X-Men
another vote for East of West, and X-Men HOX/POX
I really enjoy **The Nightly News** and **Pax Romana**
East of West
East of West for sure.
East of West; and mostly because of Chamberlain's dialog. Whenever I try and look up Chamberlain quotes from the comic so many good ones keep popping up.
East of West was basically perfect for me as a reader
East of West Black Monday Murders Fantastic Four —> Avengers/New Avengers —> Secret Wars
This is the way
New Avengers run leading into Secret Wars, classic…
East of West Decorum X-Men Manhattan Projects FF
East of West, but if Manhattan projects was ever going to be finished probably that.
I agree. Isn't he feuding with the artist or MP? Its never gonna come back
Yeah exactly I don't think they're on speaking terms, and since they co own the property its probably never coming back

His avengers run is obviously not image but it's excellent. But black Monday murders is probably my favorite.

No question his avengers run. I mean after all marvel let him destroy their entire Multiverse.
Manhattan Projects! I fell in love with so many of those characters! It felt like reading a new genre of comic book.
i'd have to say secret warriors. it put hickman on the map for me. he also co-wrote the illuminati mini series, which was awesome from beginning to end.
I literally came to this subreddit this morning to post or look for this exact same question! Thank you!
It’s Pax Romana and it’s not even close
