Marvel Comics
Slott, Kubert, Morales & White

Spider-Man against the Iron Patriot doesn't sound like an epic comic book at all. However, when it's Norman Osborn in the armor and a ton of baggage is dragged into the fight and you add Adam Kubert as your artist with some clever quips and you have a heck of a comic book one shot. If you have a passing interest in Spider-Man and the Green Goblin then this issue is a can't miss book.

Dark Reign List Wolverine One ShotDark Reign The List: Wolverine #1
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Ribi, Palmer & Wilson

Breaking tradition with the rest of this series of one-shots, this issue has Norman Osborn's objective not to kill Wolverine, but instead to infiltrate a facility called The World. Marvel Boy falls out of favor with Osborn and warns Wolverine that Osborn is after this one time Weapon X program and Wolverine pursues. This is everything that a one shot should have in it. It's got an interesting story, good characters, great characterizations, a real conclusion and threads left open for later usage. This is a very good comic book.
