I read this pretty cool Comic a while back. Forgot what it's called though.

Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Charles Burns, Frank Miller, The Hernandez Brothers, Peter Bagge, Daniel Clowes, Brian Azzarello, Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, etc.

some of my faves:

Watchmen
Black Hole
Eightball (The Death Ray)
Preacher
Sandman
The Dark Knight Returns
Love & Rockets
Kingdom Come
HATE! (The Buddy Bradley series)
Transmetropolitan
100 Bullets
V For Vendetta

i'd recommend Kingdom Come to you, Camocan (since you're into Batman and Superhero stuff.) it's really great

I love 30 Days of Night and Walking Dead.

Frank Miller's Ronin. Big influence on that cartoon Samurai Jack.

I'm not a fan of superhero comics for the most part. they really have to be something special to grab my attention. I liked some old school dave mckean batman. just look at the fucking joker in arkham asylum!

I also like some old daredevil comics. i remember the art being insane and the stories being pretty full on. johhny the homicidal maniac is freaking hysterical in the most violent way possible. the comic squee made by the same guy is also good

recently i stumbled across a fun little comic called Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark: They got mixed up! It was so ludicrous I had to buy it best two bucks i ever spent.

Read kingdom come honsetly its the only thing mark waid has ever done that I thought was amazing. And Alex Ross's art is so boss. Seriously an amazing book. Currently I've been reading all star superman, so far its the only superman I like. He's just a humble farmer who got lucky with powers and wants to do good instead of some extremly posed untoachable greek god he's usually made out to be.

landCow · « **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2011, 09:14:08 PM »

that sounds good actually I always hated how superman was always untouchable and capable of freaking everything

camocan · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2011, 09:23:58 PM »

No its great like right off the bat he's dying and they explain the science behind it and he dies like dosent come back dies. He's no longer invunreble they show his weak but still heroic attributes like he loses his powers and lex has superpowers and he has to fight lex only using his wits and a gun. Superman sacrifices himself to save everyone in the end its the best Grant Morrison ever told and he even talks about the psuedo science of what happens after we die and what will happen to superman.

I've only read Watchmen and V for Vendetta. They were both good, but Watchmen was amazing.

"Lucha Libre is a story about brave men donning Lucha Libre costumes to protect Los Angeles from crime, tiki warriors and werewolves. The incompetent PROFESOR FURIA teaches his life ?lessons? to aspiring wrestlers. The LUCHADORITOS is part ?Peanuts,? part ?Dennis The Menace,? and lots of Lucha Libre!"

^ thanks for posting that. looking forward to reading the whole article on Kirby's son and that Alan Moore doc seems amazing. everything about him, including his voice, is so perfect.

The Joker and Bats vs Supes in Part 2 should be pretty great.

My favorite superman comic, now in motion comic form!

360 frip · « **Reply #24 on:** August 16, 2012, 01:28:17 PM »

2000 A.D. Dredd, Strontium Dog, ABC Warriors, DR and Quinch (Nuke your parents!)

Early Hell Blazer

Eightball (D.Clowes)

Frank Miller Sin City, Hard Boiled, Dark Knight Returns, YEAR ONE (probably the best Batman ever) pretty much all of it (bar 300 and the latest one $:-\$ )

If you like his RONIN you'll love Lone Wolf and Cub (So epic).

Akira

Mignola's Hell Boy

5barsdeep · « **Reply #25 on:** August 16, 2012, 04:02:00 PM »

Fatale
New Batman (Snyder and Capullo)
Animal Man
Swamp Thing
Think Tank
The Massive
Hawkeye
Mind The Gap

Thats pretty much all the newer stuff on my pull list. Always wanting to pick up trades and hardcovers when I have $.

5barsdeep · « **Reply #26 on:** August 16, 2012, 04:14:05 PM »

Frisco,

If you like Arkham Asylum look into other Grant Morrison stuff. Batman Inc, The Inivsibles, and All-Star Superman are some of his best IMO.

BRIX SKWIKZ · « **Reply #27 on:** August 17, 2012, 09:49:36 PM »

hey fellas do you remember your first comic book

this is the one that got me hooked

http://marvel1980s.blogspot.com.br/2011/01/1987-mighty-thor-384.html
