My favourite character growing up was [i]far and away[/i] Wolverine, but I can't remember the last time I picked up a Wolverine comic. I'm not really sure that I'd say I had a favourite character anymore. I'd hate to say that I "grew out" of it, because that's not strictly true, I think I just stopped zeroing in on any particular corner of the Marvel universe. As for what run I enjoyed the most. I'd have to say that Ed Brubaker's run(s) on Captain America, Iron Fist, or Daredevil are a real standout for me. If I had to choose between the three, I'd say his work on Iron Fist. What he did for that character doesn't get anywhere near enough credit. His Captain America run (especially what he did with Bucky) is fantastic also, though. Basically, it's a tough one.
