10 Criminally Underrated Marvel Comics You Must Read

10. Damage Control

Damage Control is just awesome. Created by the the late, great Dwayne McDuffie, these three limited series were the equivalent of having The Office set in the Marvel Universe.

As a construction company that specialized in the collateral property damage of superhero activity, this concept was brilliantly lighthearted, without ever reaching that point of zaniness that would hinder the story being told. With controlling stocks being held by Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, Hercules needing to work for them as community service after a drunken rampage and the hilarity of needing to confront Doctor Doom for unpaid bills, this slice of corporate life made for a unique look at the 616 universe. This also led to several guest appearances in other books, and even having a prominent role in massive events like Civil War and World War Hulk.

Damage Control is a special case when it comes to being underrated. Since its creation in 1988, the company has become a fixture of Marvel canon, even acting as an inciting factor for Vulture’s turn to evil in Spider-Man: Homecoming, as well as having a building in the Spider-man PS4 game. Yet, for one reason or another, the three limited series' themselves are rarely - if ever - brought up in conversation.
