I'm very partial to the Wolverine vs. Yoshada (sp?) battle at the end of the original Wolverine mini-series. I think it really showed what Wolverine can do without the berzerker hanging over him.

[Guest Special K]

Manji v. the other immortal in Blade of the Immortal: Cry of the Worm.

 

That guy knows how to draw action

[Guest Annoyed Grunt]

Jody vs Custer from Preacher. Great fight with an incredible build up

 

Batman Vs Hunter Rose from the first Batman/Grendel crossover

 

Bullseye vs Electra

[Guest Crazy Dan]

I always liked Superman vs Doom

 

I liked the X-man vs the Mauraders, round one... Many of the X-men got f'd up

[Guest Luke Cage]

Scott McCloud's "DESTROY!!!" comic.

[Guest pochorenella]

The Avengers vs Count Nefaria (the super-powered version)

 

The Avengers vs Ultron (3rd series)

 

The X-Men vs Cameron Hodge (X-Tinction Agenda)

 

The Avengers vs The Olympian Gods

 

Thor vs The Destroyer (any version)

 

Batman vs Superman (Dark Knight Returns)

 

Those just from the top of my head. I'll think of some more later.

[Guest crandamaniac]

Only one I can think of right now:

 

Superman v.s Captain Marvel (Kingdom Come)

[Guest raptor]

The X-Men vs Cameron Hodge (X-Tinction Agenda)

I forgot about that one. I think that was a very well done, brutal fight. He just kicked all their asses, like a major villain should.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

I actually liiked the Joker fight from Dark Knight Returns better than the Superman fight .

[Guest DrTom]

Batman vs. Superman, The Dark Knight Returns. I liked it at least as much for Batman's withering thoughts about himself and Superman as I did the action taking place.

[Guest pochorenella]

Here are a few more I like:

 

Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer vs Galactus (The Galactus Trilogy)

 

Avengers/Dr. Strange/FF vs Galactus (Trial of Galactus TPB)

 

New Warriors vs Hellions (very early in the NW series)

 

Iron Man vs Ultimo (any one but the last two)

 

Thor/Loki/Odin vs Surtur

 

Thanos vs Everybody (Infinity Gauntlet TPB)

 

Hulk vs The Maestro (Future Imperfect TPB)

[Guest HellSpawn]

You know, Im waiting for Sassquatch's fights.

This topic is really good.

[Guest HellSpawn]

1 Batman vs Superman, Dark Knight Returns.

 

2 Daredevil vs Bullseye, DD #181

 

3 Bullseye vs Elektra, DD #181

 

4 Spider-man vs Venom, ASM #300

 

5 Batman vs Predator, 1st crossover

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Some more Bat-fights:

• Batman vs. The Joker : A Death in the Family
• Alberto Falcone vs. The Joker : Dark Victory
• Batman vs. Prometheus : World War III
• The Batman vs. Mr. Zsasz : Knightfall
• The Batman vs. The Batman Killer : The Many Deaths of The Batman

[Guest Grand Slam]

I can't believe nobody mentioned Spider-Man v. Green Goblin from the "Death of Gwen Stacy" issues. Classic, classic stuff.

 

I agree with the Spider-Man v. Venom from Amazing #300.

 

How about the Heroes last assault on Doom from Secret Wars?

[Guest starvenger]

some faves:

- The MLF vs Sphinx/Avengers in New Warriors. I just love those big ass fights.

 

- Batman vs Superman in The Dark Knight Returns. Probably one of the best examples of Batman cheating to win.

 

- Approximately half the Marvel heroes vs Thanos in Infinity Gauntlet. The highlight was Cap schooling Thanos before the Eternal said 'fuck it' and used the gauntlet on him.

 

- Superman vs Doomsday in Superman #75. Epic enough that you forget that the book is made up of 23 splash pages.

 

- Crisis. Again, a big ass battle, this time across the DC multiverse. Fun fun fun.

 

The X-Men vs Cameron Hodge (X-Tinction Agenda)

Good story, but a HUGE discrepancy in art quality. Liefeld was fairly cohesive here, with the usual flaws, but Jan Bogdanove's art on X-Factor was really bad. And Jim Lee was Jim Lee in his prime,.

Mines was a Wolvy mini series with I think was Cyber. Vaguely remember but its was well drawn out in its three pages.

[Guest Sassquatch]

Sure it might be cliche but Miracleman #15 is perhaps one of the best fights I have ever seen take place in a comic book.

 

All the build-up and drama led to this final showdown between mentor and student.

 

One had to die.

 

That's my favorite fight right off the top of my head.

 

I'm sure I'll have some more later.

[Bored 0]

Surprised no one has mentioned Wolverine vs. Hulk in Incredible Hulk #340.

[Guest Flyboy]

Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth... y'know, the one where Wolvie is just about to kill 'tooth and it leaves you hanging in suspense.

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

Jody vs Custer from Preacher. Great fight with an incredible build up

 

Batman Vs Hunter Rose from the first Batman/Grendel crossover

 

Bullseye vs Electra

How about Custer vs. Cassidy at the end of the series? That one was intense, I remember reading it and just being completely on edge because I loved Preacher so much back then and it was the last thing I expected.

 

And, yeah, Batman vs. Superman from Dark Knight Returns.

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

Another one just occurred to me: The Punisher vs. The Russian in Garth Ennis' Marvel Knights take on Frank Castle. That was wonderfully done in my opinion. Ennis/Dillon rule all.

[thuganomics 0]

Leonardo v. Shredder at the end of "Return to New York" (TMNT v. 1 #18?). One of the best fights ever!

 

Also Leonardo #1... Leo gets his a$$ kicked, but it takes the entire issue and he thrashes a couple hundred Foot...

 

So very many...

[Guest Kanenite#357]

1.Thanos Vs. Odinfrom Warlock and the Infinity Watch #25-a fantastic battle that almost singlehandedly made up for that awful Blood and Thunder storyline.

 

2.Thor vs. Mangog/Thanos from Thor 21-25-Thor really took a pounding here, but still managed to win.

 

3. Wolverine vs. Mauvis vs. the Wendigo from Wolverine 172(?)-an awesome three way slugfest.

 

4. Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike/Omega Red from Wolverine 174-A rare treat showing Wolverine as an underdog and using his brain instead of his claws.

 

5.Batman vs. Bane from Batman 500 and Batman 700-both were intense, brutal affairs that had Batman taken to the limit.

 

6.Avengers vs. the Shiar Imperial Guard Vs. the Kree Star Force-from the Operation Galatic Storm crossover.-not a single fight scene but a series of them throughout the crossover. Back before the X-books turned the Imperial Guard into a complete joke, it was a real treat to see three of the most powerful superteams in existence go at tooth and nail in a high stakes stroyline. The crossover itself is easily the best one that Marvel has ever put together and I would highly recommend the back issues that contributed to it.

[Guest SP-1]

Superman vs Captain Marvel in Kingdom Come

 

Amazing story surrounding the fight, the emotions WITHIN the fight . . . just great stuff all around.
