I really liked Fear Itself from Marvel. Odin having a lost, secret, evil brother who creates magical hammers to distribute to his “Worthy” (different villains and heroes who get transformed into demigods once they touch their respective hammer) to cause as much chaos as possible for him to feed on, Iron Man making weapons for the “Mighty” to fight back, and all those heroes get awesome power ups and cool temporary costumes. It’s also where Red She-Hulk gets her sword from. It’s just a big action-y event that was really fun for me to read when I was in middle and high school. Imo I think it would be an awesome event to see in live-action, possibly in the MCU.
On the opposite side, I read DC One Million a couple months ago and that one was fun. It’s kinda like a DC “What If…” where if DC were to keep publishing comics in sequence nonstop, we’d literally be in the 853rd century by the time they got to one million issues published. So in this story, the JLA of 1998 get visited by the Justice Legion Alpha of the 853rd century, where each hero basically protects an entire planet in the solar system after having them terra formed for inhabitants to live on. Future tech is crazy, so the planets are all veritable wildlife sanctuaries, while all the cities are located within tesseracts/pocket dimensions so they can expand forever. Solaris is first introduced in this story, and is one of the main antagonists, along with Vandal Savage. It kinda jumps around from character to character, and throws in some other issues of other characters to more flesh out the world they live in, like Resurrection Man and Supergirl 853, or Superboy One-Million-And-Counting (in this future, there are multiple Con-El clones, each mixed with a different hero such as OMAC or Lagoon Boy). Batman One Million is the warden of the prison planet of Pluto, where all super-criminals are sent. It’s just a really fun story.
Fear itself sounds really fun to read, hopping on that, still new to comics (got back into them, read them as a kid but only really remembered bones) so I never heard of that
