The Daredevil thread got me to thinking about the best single issue I've read of a few different series. Here are some that sprang to mind:

Batman #251 (My all-time favorite Batman story!)

Fantastic Four #51 (Best single Lee/Kirby issue!)

Fantastic Four #236 (Best single Byrne issue!)

Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man (For me, the best of all the Treasury/Collector's Editions!)

Justice League of America #144 (Remains my favorite issue of this series to this day!)

What are some of your "best single issues"?

The title of this thread pokes at a particular pet peeve of mine. The word should be "favorite", not "best".

I see your point, but I will clarify, Batman/Captain America is, in fact, the best single comic ever. Of all-time. This is has been decided.

I won't take up space by reposting the image, but FANTASTIC FOUR #51,
"This Man, This Monster," may be my favorite Kirby/Lee issue of the FF. And
Johnny is the only member who uses his power (a single finger of flame) in
the issue!

Oh, and Mike O'Brien may be on to something with his comment about
Batman/Captain America being the best single comic ever. It's certainly my
favorite single issue by JB!
