not 3 or 4 issue BS that we put up with today, but what decent length runs on books would you recommend to people to read or what are your favorites that you may not recommend...and pick no more than five. They don't have to be critically aclaimed, but stuiff you feel strongly about.
1. Robinson/Harris/Snejberg...Starman
2. Willingham/leeke...The Elementals
3. Mike Barr/Alan Davis...Detective Comis/The Outsiders
4. Geoff Johns/Kolins/Porter...The Flash
5. Peter David/McFarlane/Purves/Keown/Frank ...Incredible Hulk

Should I stay or should I go?
By The Clash.
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqueteando y engañando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estás feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dÃa bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I Stay or should I go?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
La indecisión me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, lÃbrame
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
DÃgame que debo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
¿Sabes qué ropa me queda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
¿Yo me frÃo o lo soplo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy - va a ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
¿Yo me frÃo o lo soplo?

Agreed.
So far, Whedon's run on AXM (Shaddup, Pro) and Morrison's run on JLA
I don't know if this counts as a "run" as they each have written the whole series on each of their respective titles, but Ennis on Preacher; Millar on Ultimates; Brubaker on Sleeper, Vol.1; Bendis on Ultimate Spidey and Vaughn on Y:The Last Man, Ex Machina and Runaways.
And finally, so far, Dini's run on 'Tec.
 Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Morrison's New X-men is really quite enjoyable, I just read it all recently and liked it.
Peter David's run on pretty much anything going back to his Hulk days.
Sandman of course.
Mike Carey's Lucifer.
Transmetropolitan.
Preacher.
Rucka's Tec run and Brubaker's Batman run were great.
Kesel's Superboy run was pretty fun.
Messner-Loebs Impulse run was also enjoyable.
Dixon's Robin and Nightwing were solid reads.
Bow ties are coool.

Saw something on another thread that made me think of this.
Hitman by Ennis and Mcrea. Beginning to end, one of the best series I've ever read. Funny as hell but also the odd poignant moment to really make it hit home. Definitely worth picking up on e-Bay...even if you pay close to cover price. Most of the run is in trades.
Transmetroploitan was also a good one.
Oderint, dum metuant.
You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you! -USCHI showin' some love
