I love comic books, I'm not an encyclopedia when it comes to them but it's like that old saying "I may not know art but I know what I like"
My favorite series are:
The Preacher - Well, anything by Garth Ennis but this has to be his finest work. Brilliant characters, awesome dialogue and a really, really, really good story
The Boys - Another hit by Mr. Ennis, this has to be the only comic book that actually has me laughing out loud most of the time
Well, only those two, been meaning to pick up Y: The Last Man, the dude at my local comic book store said if I liked Preacher I'd dig this so I'm gonna give this a whirl
Series I'm reading at the moment
Batman
Batwoman In Detective Comics
Batman & Robin
Batman: Streets of Gotham
Red Robin
The Punisher: Max Series
And I've placed pre-orders for the Black Night arcs for Green Lantern, Batman and Superman
As you can probably guess I'm a huge Bats fan boy
Preacher is supremely awesome, even if the constant reaction to Arseface got old. (I mean really; he looks bad, but not THAT bad.) And the inbred son of Christ...hilarious.
Not sure why he thought
Y: The Last Man would be recommended to you because of
Preacher. Not that Y isn't amazing, but it's...not the same. Except having a guy and a girl (at first) on a mission.
I'm sad
Captain Britain and MI:13 is being canceled, because Wisdom is being written great for a change, and it's just a fun series. I mean: Dracula has a secret base. On the moon. Only someone who has read Dr. McNinja could have realized this. Classic.
100 Bullets...confused the hell out of me at the end. But still a great series.
Fables is definitely good, but being a Vertigo comic, it's not for anyone who strays from the superheroes. And you really have to keep up; every time I fall back a few issues, I start reading it from the beginning to re-orient myself.
Hellblazer, though I don't keep up with it.
The Books Of Magic ended before its time. I would have loved to see Tim continuing on as an adult, after Molly.
Sandman.I really am a Marvel U fan, and
X-Men in particular, but holy christ have they made a mess of things in the past few years after House Of M. Really, did you idiots forget you got rid of the mutants? Apparently so. Either shit, or get off the pot. Accept the status of mutants (and stop writing stories that clearly require the old status quo numbers), and find a solution, or ret-con that shit.
(Also, though I am glad Kitty didn't go like a pussy, I can only
imagine how a writer will bring her back. I wait gleefully.)
Transmetropolitan. Listen to the chair leg of truth, and follow the fuckhead.
Buffy Season 8: Yeah, it's kind of weird in spots. But funny.
