There's also a collection of the El Cid stuff from Warren Publications' Eerie comics around.

There's a comic about a teacher who leaves his baby in a hot car. I wanna say it was by Dash Shaw and it was black and white. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I thought I read it online too, if that's any help.

Probably either Carey or Delano, Azzarello for a dark horse candidate.

The Chronicles books are the ones with that awful recoloring right? And I think I read that Marvel will be publishing Savage with the covers in color.

I'd put Jenkins before Azz.

I might even put Jenkins before Delano, I didn't care for a good block of the middle of Delano's run (Fear Machine and a bit after).

I started rereading Hellblazer from the start, but I haven't read the Alan Moore Swamp Thing bit in awhile. Did Alan Moore come up with the Newcastle incident or is that a Delano invention? Because if it's Delano then it's definitely Delano in second place.

Oh yeah, and the yuppie demons over investing in souls and the market crashing on them with one bad faith actor rings way the gently caress more true now than when I first read it in the 90s, and it was written in the 80s.

Moore mentions the Newcastle incident but it’s Delano who wrote what actually happened.

Yeah, I just read that issue which is why I want to put Delano higher on the list. Were there any details beyond the word Newcastle and a dead girl? because that issue is loving gut wrenching.

Also the first two issues of Hellblazer are a loving hell (no pun intended) of a debut and would be an amazing script for an HBO pilot (or AMC at this point)

I'm going Ennis, Delano, Carey. I don't remember enough of Jenkins run to have an opinion on it. When I get to it I'll reevaluate. I might slip Azzarello into the ranking too.

Just finished The Authority by Ellis and Millar, man the series is great. I also like that they included Elijah Snow, Drummer and Jakita Wagner in a few of the issues. Also, they never really got into what happened with Jackson and Christine, some weird super powers went off during a party and they said something about getting married. Can anyone shed some light?

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I'll finally be able to properly finish Fraction's Hawkeye and I'd like to ask how is Lemire's All New Hawkeye, both 2015 and 2016. And before anyone mentions it, as much as I'd like to read it, Kelly Thompson's is still unavailable and I believe it'll be for a while.

I think they're worth reading.
It's really one storyline split by a company-wide relaunch, but Clint gets a flashback b-story through the first series, and Kate gets one in the second.

On a similar note, if anyone can point me at any Stormwatch volumes that are worth reading, particularly leading directly into the Ellis run on Authority, that would be cool and good. Thanks.

I think the general consensus is to just read the Ellis issues of Stormwatch, as they lead directly into the Authority.

The Ellis issues of Stormwatch and Aliens vs. Wildstorm or whatever the title of that was. Anything else is not going to be so great. There's 5 trades of SW by Ellis that collects everything.

#37-50 of Stormwatch Vol. 1, and #1-11 of Stormwatch Vol. 2 (plus the out-of-print WildC.A.T.s/Aliens one-shot). They are collected in five older TPBs, and there are two newer TPBs that collect everything except WildC.A.T.s/Aliens.

It's funny that Wildcats/Aliens contains the pivotal moment for how Storm watch turned into Authority and will probably never be reprinted.

They got their own limited comic The Monarchy, where they recruited a team to battle a cancer that was destroying the multiverse that turned out to be an alternate version(s?) of the Authority.

Edit: Wiki, drat it.

Definitely Fell since you liked Desolation Jones.

The 1987-1992 Justice League International/America/Europe since you liked Suicide Squad (I'm assuming you mean John Ostrander's 1987-1993 run) and PAD's X-Factor (I'm assuming you mean the mid-2000s run and not the early '90s run).

Copra, Gail Simone's Villains United and Secret Six, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and Thunderbolts (particularly the Warren Ellis and Jeff Parker runs) since you liked Suicide Squad.

I just finished Umbrella Academy and loved it and I just bought Milk Wars in the current Comixology sale. What other Young Animal books should I get?

Teenage Fansub

All of 'em are good. You should definitely at least read Doom Patrol before the crossover.
Bug is the only one that didn't tie in to Milk Wars (and Eternity Girl comes in after) but are you gonna deny yourself some Mike Allred drawn Kirby love?

edit: If you're going all-in, note that for their last six issues, Shade, Cave Carson and Mother Panic changed their titles and relaunched after the crossover.
And if you're curious about the version of the Justice League in Milk Wars, that's Steve Orlando's JLA team.
