I couldn't get into Fraction's Fantastic Four (one title I'll just never be a fan of, no matter who works on it), but his FF was charming, thanks in large part to the beautiful Mike Allred artwork.

The highlights of Fraction's Invincible Iron Man run were collected in Volumes 2 and 3 of the trade paperbacks: "World's Most Wanted," Parts 1 and 2, pitting Norman Osborn against Tony. They tied into everything else that was going on with Dark Reign and Bendis' New/Dark Avengers, culminating in Siege.

Bill Hader also wrote the introduction for Brubaker's first Incognito trade paperback. Such cool guys, all of them!

Between the two companies (MAC and Diamond Select), the ladies they made were Buffy, Willow, Tara, Anya, Cordelia, Faith, Dawn, Glory, Joyce, Fred, Illyria, Kendra, and Kennedy (perhaps who you were thinking of?).

(Slow clap… but wait! They never made a Jenny Calendar! And why would you take apart that beautiful and rare Oracle?)

Great, great run. I have the four original Brubaker/Cooke/Allred/Rader/ Stewart TPBs, but when DC came out with the thicker volumes including that last volume of the post-Stewart material ending Brubaker's run (up to #37), I thought the magic was gone.
