I am reading JB's run on SHE-HULK again (perhaps for the sixth time?) and, of course, really enjoying it.
I also recently re-read Steve Gerber's run on DEFENDERS and was glad to see that it still held up for me. (Headmen in both!)
It made me want to ask the Forum--
What runs (or single issues) have you most RE-READ?
I have also read the first 20 issues of SPIDER-WOMAN numerous times, as well as Jim Starlin's classic single or two-part stories for GHOST RIDER, AVENGERS, and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES.
But I think JB's SHE-HULK wins the prize for most re-readings! How about you?

I think JB's Superman wins the prize for me (sorry, JB, I know your feelings on the subject).
I read the first issues to tatters when they came out, had to buy new ones, and I've bought countless collections.
Also JB-related, the run he had with Claremont on Uncanny X-Men is a frequent re-read.
Aside from that, I keep going back to the early Spider-Man collections by Stan Lee and Ditko / Romita sr. Or the first Galactus-story by Lee and Kirby.
Also the run on Batman by Grant/Breyfogle - a huge favourite.

Single issue has to be Giant Size X-Men #1. I read that so much back in '75 that I had to tape the cover back on!
Others I continually come back to; The first 5 issues or so of Captain America in Tales of Suspense. That's my favorite Kirby non space stuff.
The Avengers Korvac saga, read that again about a month ago.
Perez's F.F. Crusader and Salem Seven 2 parter's.
X-Men Proteus story, every Halloween.
JB and Perz's Marvel Two-In-One Project Pegasus run. Also get my Thundra fix there.
Super Villain Team-Up #12. Red Skull, Dr. Doom space fight, 'nuff said.
DC Special #29. Justice Society vs. Hitler.

I reread these from time to time:
Ditko/Lee Amazing Spider-Man
Byrne FF
Stern Amazing Spider-Man
Byrne/Austin/Claremont X-Men
Byrne Superman
New Teen Titans #38
Starlin DC Comics Presents
The sporadic Jim Starlin issues of DC Comics Presents are some amazingPre-Crisis stories that show us a side of Superman that we just don’t get in the otherbooks. The run introduced us to Mongulthe Merciless and Warworld, gave us a Superman vs Green Lantern/Cthulu tale thatwas truly creepy (With a New Teen Titans preview insert no less). And in issue#29, we were shown what the Spectre could really do when the need arose.

CC/JB X-Men is the most-read run. By far
GSXM 1 (with help from X-MEN SPECIAL EDITION) is most-read single issue
JB’s FF, AF and SUPERMAN runs are pretty high on the list.
Walt’s THOR
Frank’s DAREDEVIL
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 229 and 251 are up there for single issue
DeFalco/Frenz ASM is up there
Claremont’s NEW MUTANTS run
NEW MUTANTS SPECIAL EDITION/ X-MEN ANNUAL 9

Byrne's FF Stan & Jack's FF Simonson's FF Simonson's Thor Byrne's Danger Unlimited Moore's Swamp Thing Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Morrison's Animal Man Brown's Ed The Happy Clown Clowes's Eightball Miller's Daredevil - Born Again
Plus, when I was very young, I had a Incredible Hulk subscription during the Buscema years so that got a lot of re-reads.
