I get that this is mostly in the fiscal sense, but creatively, at least in terms of comics I actually bought and read, it’s a tie between “Sonic Super Digest” and “Marvel Comics Digest,” a pair of short-lived Archie digest series that collected, respectively, themed collections of Archie Sonic and related titles (and the post-Genesis Wave era in the last few issues, God bless Ian Flynn); and themed collections of specific Marvel heroes and teams, usually timed to whatever big film the MCU, Sony, or Fox was pushing that month. The Sonic series was a great supplement to the Archives and Select volumes I was collecting at the time, but once terms of the Penders suit became crystal clear, reading nothing but then-current issues from a month or so before became quite tiresome. (Adapting the creative mess that is “Sonic Unleashed” certainly didn’t help.) The Marvel book was a bit better, often sampling obscure Silver and Bronze Age arcs in early issues (Hammerhead as a ghost was a real trip, man) while mixing in all-ages stories that fans of any era might enjoy. Then it became just those all-ages stories and my interest faded fast (I still bought and read them out of obligation and novelty). The best of the bunch for me was #4 with the X-Men, mostly for being able to read excellent tales from Jeff Parker’s various “X-Men: First Class” series, all-ages titles that fit seamlessly into classic mutant continuity and stand leagues above the “Adventures” line of similar vintage. I guess they were good for me but no one else; America loves teenage hijinx only.

I dropped the Sonic Archies for good after the Mega Man crossover reset the universe. I plan to revisit that crossover eventually as a Scanning My Collection article but you can see the at-the-time Today’s Comic reviews of them. I loved Parker’s run on Marvel Adventures: The Avengers.
