What are the best single issues or stories told within a single issue? Comics that were produced and released in a single instance? What comics told a complete and satisfying story but then went above and beyond? If someone asked for the best comic in a single serving, what would you recommend?

Last week, we conversed about ninjas.

Next week, we’ll converse about comics you gave up on.
