I recommend The Lucifer series. Its really good at defining point of views and the idea of good and evil. It also has a great depiction on the idea of choice and whether it even exists.
I felt the captain marvel 2004-2005 was a great series that chronicled Genis velle and his trips from insanity back to being a hero.

Invincible is a book i really enjoy right now.

Lucifer i'm thinking about starting.

Y- The Last Man, i've got on order
Same as Ex Machina, a world where Superheroes aren't revered, but
scoffed at.

Fables i skimmed, but wasn't really grabbed. Give it a try though.

And Runaways, is easily the favorite book on my shelf right now. Just good and fun.

if your planning on starting the lucifer series, then start with "the sandman" volume 4 (season of mists) it explains in depth why lucifer resigned from heaven, and somewhat explains how friggin powerful lucifer is........ and once u start the lucifer series itslef, try and read them in order, or u will be lost

well in secret wars II there is no battleworld as in the first series, instead the beyonder comes to earth to study its intriguing species........ but secret wars II shows just how incredibly powerful the beyonder is, its a great read......if u ever get the chance 2 read it there is 9 issues total, and you wont be dissapointed smile

Besides, does anyone really believe the iron costume id going to last more than another year or so? It's not really an upgrade in my opinion, just a temporary gadget.


....

So back on topic....

My #1 recommendation to anyone, comic fan or otherwise, is Gaiman's Sandman series.

For the life of me I can not get into Sandman. I hear such great stuff about it and I have all 75 or so issues, but I just can't read it. Hellblazer is the same way.

Damn european accent makes it too hard to read.

lol yeah there are only a select few of the sandman GN's that i can read because most of them are very slow (but very well written/illustrated)....... my favorite one is volume #4: season of mists

My reccomended reading is Y-The Last Man. Is a story of what happens when all male population in the planet dies and only a young man and his male monkey lives. Not only this is a very interesting series but some of the one liners are funny as hell.


Is that New film based on it, with thingy from King Arthur ? .... Vaughn is a really underrated writer IMO.

I have an acquired comic book Taste, but my favourite comic book series, is definitely Planetary by Warren Ellis. Its like the X-Files mixed with the Fantastic four, Indiana Jones and Batman. Elijah Snow has to be one of the greatest characters to ever come out of Comics. In fact all you have to do is read Wheel dons and Alan Moore's Introductions and you're hooked. The art is by Cassaday, and i think it surpasses his Astonishing Work. You can currently collect the first 18 issues in trade form and the last 25 are soon to be out.

Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage. My very first introduction to comics was a box of comics which had the first seven of this fourteen part series along with Marvel's #2 and some X-men, Cloak and Dagger, Nighthawk, Wildcats (i know its not spelled that way), Hulk and a few other random issues. Needless to say Spider-Man really stuck out then

Marvels: As a kid I couldn't really appreciatte it (I had gotten issue 2) but looking back now I realize its very deep and thorough. i developed a whole new respect for Busiek when I tracked down the entire series

Daredevil: Bendis' entire run was amazing.

New Avengers: Loved all the subplots

Astonishing X-men: Great writer and artist. "Nuff said

Moon Knight (current series): So far I've loved every single minute of every issue. Finch's art is on point in this series and Huston has definitely got my attention

Batman (Brubaker): Got me into reading Batman full time
