"They Are Not Like Us" has the trouble in that Strong Female Protagonist is already a *great* take on superpowered people not being superheroes. The bits I looked at didn't interest me.
Which does remind me, the first Strong Female Protagonist book is great ^^ Basic take, superpowers came up, so did some supervillains, the heroes basically won, and now Megagirl, the strongest brick in the setting, has quit being a hero, and is trying to figure out how to actually change the world. Includes some dark-but-awesome stuff, like one regenerator's approach to the problem.
Oh yea, Mark Waid's Empire is in the middle of having a sequel coming out. I'm tradewaiting, but the first one (Basically, 'what if Dr. Doom conquers the Earth?'. The first novel starts when he's 90%+ done) was great, and it's Waid, Waid is great.

Does anybody have any series that span more than 10-20 comics to recommend? I enjoy shorter series every now and then, but they basically last me an hour or so...
Hm... if one travels back in time a bit, the old Crossgen titles had several solid comics.
Negation (space opera, buncha people from all over find themselves in an alien prison camp in another universe), Ruse (Sherlock Holmes with more weirdness), Way of the Rat (kung fu), there was some good stuff.
Or hey, there's Judge Dredd. That can keep anyone occupied for awhile ^^
i agree, just an odd take on the character. i would have expected something more in line with what we saw in lucifer. also didn't have a real sense of omniscience for some reason. maybe just me? really enjoying the series though.
ps--you'll probably like lazarus even more than i do. for some reason i just see it as being in your wheelhouse. you'll correct me if i'm wrong i'm sure, but i think you'll really love that series. a thinking man's series it is. 👆
