Question
Hi there,

I'm currently working on a superhero themed book and while I have good general knowledge on the subject, there are some gaps.  Can you suggest issues:

Best Hulk arcs that show the human side of the character.

Best storylines that specifically have Xavier and Magneto saving one another or working together

Story arcs where Prince Namor favours war to make ruling his people more palatable

Thanks and all the best,

Answer
Best Hulk arcs: There are a thousand good Hulk stories, of course, and what makes something the "best" is always going to be a matter of opinion, but some sensible suggestions can be found here:

Best Xavier/Magneto storylines:

Again, who decides what's best? But the best summary is here:

For a summary of story arcs featuring Namor, your best and most readable is again at Wikipedia:

It's hard to trace specific issues from these general summaries, but they do give you a starting point and a "feel" for the characters and relationships overall.
