Praising the Best #1 Issue

Doug:  Today we're looking for nominations and discussion on the very best #1 issues of all time.  Any company, any era -- if the cover has a big ol' 1 in the corner, it's fair game for discussion.  But I hear some among you saying "what about Journey Into Mystery #83, or X-Men #94?"  Nope -- today we're going to stick with bona fide first issues.  To your advantage in regard to DCs, this does allow you to discuss Justice League of America #1 instead of The Brave and the Bold #28.

Doug:  For example, some have said that Avengers #1 was a weak story, largely not caring for elements like the Hulk in the clown suit and/or the two weakest Avengers (Ant-Man and the Wasp) saving the day.  But I'll give you this -- if you want to declare that Avengers King-Size Special #1 is the best of the lot, go right ahead.

Doug:  So I hope your thinking is complicated just a bit with these parameters.  The goal is not to... well, yes it is -- I'm just trying to be a pain-in-the-butt.  Stick with #1 issues, and tell us what your favorite all-timer is in that narrow category.  And have fun out there!
