It's awesome. Written by Warren Ellis about a crazy journalist in the future named Spider Jerusalem, basically styled after Hunter S. Thompson who I dearly love. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmetropolitan

I'd recommend The Invisibles by Grant Morrison. Amazing stuff. Great uses of magic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Invisibles

I loved some of those Marvel Max Comics. Comics that didn't hold back. And I of course love Gaiman's comics. Smiley

There is an online comic that I like it's called High Moon. Since everyone gets me hooked on comics I figured I could share that so others could get hooked on it.

Oh goodness, the comic books I read...so many.  Umm some of my earliest were The New Mutants, which *bam* puts an age stamp on me right off.  One of my faves will always be Transmetropolitan.  I read a batload of Marvel X titles in high school.  Gen13 and DV8.  Batman, Batgirl.  And a lot of webcomics.  8 Bit Theater and MacHall probably my two favorites, with VG Cats hot on their heels.  Sandman, Steven Niles vamp graphic novels.  I'll add more in as they come to me.

I read pretty much anything.

Like the Archie Sonic comic a long time ago. The Director's Cut of Endgame, for me, is the Sonic story.

Anyway, very more recently, I devoured the Sandman a half a year ago. It's surrealism with a soul, satisfying to read after so many anime where the headtrips make no sense at all, and it makes me crazy impatient to try my own hand at a story like its primary arc. I'm two volumes into the Simone run on Birds of Prey, in which Lady Shiva is love, and on the final volume of Miyazaki's Nausicaa manga.

Action comic don't do it for me at all, and neither do the silly chuckle-a-day comics. I need a lot of words, even in the light reads, like Birds of Prey. My signature is from one of my favorite webcomics. Wink
