Whats your favorite mine would be What If-Captain America Were Revived today its got a great story action and spiderman whit an ak-47 j.Jameson a good guy which is cool then in the end cap gives a great speech about values of America then he he cries while singing the star spangled banner here`s a descriptions
What If Captain America Were Revived Today? obviously struck a nerve with a lot of us. This particular issue has already been well-covered in the blogosphere but I never claimed that these were going to be especially original choices.
In this alternate reality, the Sub-Mariner never disrupted the Eskimos who were worshiping the frozen Captain America, so he was kept by the tribe for several more years. Meanwhile, a disgruntled worker at a secret government holding facility decides that America needs a Captain America, and he frees the Cap and Bucky that are held there in suspended animation. Problem is, this is the deranged, commie-smashing Cap of the cold war era who was made unstable and paranoid by a 1953 attempt to replace the real Cap. This faux star-spangled avenger captures the imagination of the public, and soon hooks up with Secret Empire member Senator Norman Chadwick, who uses Captain America's reputation to push forth a raft of oppressive, racist laws.
Time passes, and eventually, the real Cap is discovered and revived by an American submarine crew, who start to fill him in on everything he's missed. America has become a police state, with most freedoms eliminated in favor of battling a non-existent Communist threat. "Captain America" appears on television regularly to promote obedience and loyalty, and the military, ironically enough, is the last bastion of freethinking, since it does not answer to the federal government (this seems a bit much to swallow, but go with it.) The real Cap is outraged and gathers together a rag-tag (is there any other kind?) group of freedom fighters, including Snap Wilson and Spider-Man to revolt. It was also fun to see J. Jonah Jameson running an underground newspaper. Finally, the two Captain Americas duke it out in one of the best Cap battles ever:

| Avengers 176 and 177 Death of all the avengers (except three of course) then the villian decides to change time and they all live. There is a layout page which is awesome it shows the battlefield and where all the avengers in diffrent spots lay dead. I read it about three times a year and just think it will be my favorite of all time for me. Jesse James

Sentimental Favorite: Not Brand Echh #7 - My dad brought it home for me when I was a sick young lad, making it the first comic book I ever owned. I still have that issue, worn as it is....I don't think Dear Old Dad realized the can of worms he was opening....
Absolute Favorite: Mad #22 - The Special "Art" issue really devoted to a satirical biography of Will Elder, my all time favorite comic book artist/creator. There has never been an issue like it before or since, and I keep a reprint of it on the coffee table so I can pick it up and give it a whirl whenever the spirit moves me, or there's nothing good on TV. I love that issue and never get tired of it. A Comic that is truly COMIC!

| Not my favorite for the art or story. But for just that overall "cool" and rarity factor, this Startling Comics #20 (Mile High pedigree) would be my current favorite: 
"Give me liberty or give me death!" -Patrick Henry
