Top Ten favorites of 2011 - part two

Here's the next few entries on the list of my favorite collected editions from 2011.

6. The Amazing Spider-Man by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane Omnibus
As a teenager, I loved these old issues of Amazing Spider-Man that appear in this volume.  One of the best Spider-Man runs ever.  I still can't believe these issues have been wiped out of continuity.

5.  Fantastic Four: The World's Greatest Comic Magazine
A hardcover collecting a 12 issues mini-series from the early 2000s.  Eric Larson's (and a slew of other talented creators) love letter to the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby issues.  These stories take place during the last year of the Lee/Kirby run, and are better than the final twelve issues by Lee & Kirby.

4.  Marvel Masterworks 155 (Amazing Spider-Man 121-131)
While I slag on Gerry Conway for his run of terrible issues on the Fantastic Four, his run on Spider-Man was pretty darn good.  This collection includes two of my all-time favorite comics: "the Death of Gwen Stacy"
