Buenas, la web de CBR (Comic Book Resources) realizó por 3 vez (2009, 2013 y 2017) una votación abierta para determinar los 100 mejores arcos/historias serializados de la historia del comic (no incluye novelas gráficas).
Cada persona votó sus 10 mejores (al final del post está mi votación)
Los resultados van a continuación, me parece un buen recomendador, los resultados en general me parecen coherentes, si bien obviamente siempre hay un sesgo lógico sobre series recientes que están en la cresta (hype) y un sesgo hacia obras de las mayors yankis (DC y Marvel).
