User blog:L'Ange Noir/Comic Birthday Emergency! If you are my brother- DO NOT READ!

I was panicking over what to get my brother for his twelfth birthday, when inspiration struck as I was being strangled by an over-eager Cub (Long story involving DofE and Young Leader). What if I get him a years subscription to a Marvel comic? However, which to chose? I'm listing the British comics below, and would like anyone with an idea of which to chose to comment. Each issue contains a few comics together.

Mighty World of Marvel This is the big mix-up of all the comics, most of which seem to be the big story arcs.

Marvel Legends As above.

Essential X-Men X-Men arcs, often three stories, not only X-Men but other comics that take part in an arc.

Fantastic Four Adventures One modern story and a classic. However, I'm not sure my brother likes Reed or Johny.

Wolverine and Deadpool Too violent. My mum would have kittens if she saw the amount of red ink in it.

Avengers Unconquered Dark Avengers comics

Astonishing Spider-Man Title says it all.

At the moment, I'm torn between EX-Men, AS-Man, ML and MMofM. But any help would be appreciated as his birthday is next week. (Next year I'm buying his present in May!)
