What's your favorite 0 issue?? It took me awhile to think on it but I thought Generation X 50 which crossed over with X-Man 50 was pretty good. I doubt however they were very notable.

Jeff - I remember that issue fondly, even though I hated Quasar as a character and series. The art wasn't great, but that moment where Quasar loses on purpose (even though, potentially, he could maybe win) is pretty awesome.

In Quasar #50, he and Silver Surfer get picked by giant comsic entities to battle for the fate of the unvierse. Quasar realizes his backer is on the wrong side, and purposefully loses to the Surfer in order to let the unvierse win. Granted, plenty of people have lost to the Surfer after trying really hard, but not many realize they're doing the wrong thing and throw the fight.

Starman 50 had a nice story- Jack Knight teams up with a couple members of the Legion.

I think #50 actually revealed that Starboy of the Legion was to be the next Starman after Jack Knight.

That's gone now.

SPOILER ALERT!

And did they actually stop The Shade getting poisoned by the Culper for thousands of years until Jack rescued him, or does that still happen - Jack still stabbed him in the chest to stop Culper in Grand Guignol.

We all know nobody loves the Silver Age Spider-man like I love the Silver Age Spider-man, right?

Still, I probably would have gone with Sandman for the # 50 slot, with RAMADAN bein' generally considered the most effective and encapsulating story of the whole run.

While Spider-man fifty is the fourth most important Spidey issue, tops, after the Death of Gwen Stacy, the finale of the master planner saga, and.... well we all know what # 15 is going to be, right?

Heck, I'd probably have put Brave and the Bold # 50 for ushering in the team-up book format above Spidey, here.

Great issue, though.

Hey, on the other hand Uncanny X-Men #50 is the first with the new logo designed by Steranko, which stuck around for decades. So it really was significant (just not for the story).

My favorite #50 is Impulse #50. Impulse vs. Joker, woth Batman on the side. So funny, and great EVS art.

Starman 50 had a nice story- Jack Knight teams up with a couple members of the Legion.

I think Hitman 50 was the "in the near future" story, when only one member of Tommy's crew is still alive to tell their stories.

I wouldn't use "notable" to describe any Onslaught-related issues. "Infamous", on the other hand, fits well.

Lorna Dane actually first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #49, and X-Men v2 #50 reveals nothing significant about Onslaught (the actual reveal is in #54) - it's just the debut issue of his obscure henchman Post.

Nice choice. On this theme, how about a top ten "walking away" cover gallery? X-Men 138 for example?
