I enjoyed the Tick a lot, I just wish Patrick Warburton had signed on to do it. He is PERFECT for the role.
as much as I liked Warburton on his Tick series, Serafinowicz was even better IMO. they've yet to find a good Arthur after Mickey Dolenz

Serafinowicz definitely got the better scripts but Warburton is just :chefkissyfingers: as the tick, perfectly lines up with my conception of the character from the comics

i think my favourite scene is where garak gives bashir a cardassian enigma tale holonovel, and bashir admits he doesn't like cardassian mysteries because everyone is always guilty. and garak responds with yes of course, you see the point of the holonovel is to figure out exactly who is guilty of exactly what. cracked me up.

I wish there was so much more of this in Star Trek, it's such a great way to simultaneously worldbuild and develop character. I also like Garak's take on The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

check out All Star Superman or, if you want something that pushed the envelope of the medium, Animal Man (only read 1-26)


e: gently caress it, while we're here, it's not strictly superhero but Vimanarama is one of my favorite stories of all time in any medium

New Frontier is a great look at the 1940s DC Universe with fantastic art

Good Comix List

Transmetropolitan
Top10 issues 1 - 12 (Alan Moore writing superheroes but not like a superman / batman punchbook)
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol1&2
Dredd 'America' (but any early Dredd is worth reading)
Marshal Law - Fear & Loathing compilation (I love ML but the books definitely get less good the newer they are)

also

Concrete (indie comix lol but this was really good)
Sam & Max complete collection
Milk & Cheese omnibus
Nemesis the Warlock book 1 - (mainly for some of Kev O'Neills best artwork )

I have the Transmet 'Absolute' heavy-duty hardcover / slipcase Vols 1 and 2 here that were meant to be a gift of the whole collection for a friend but apparently Vol3 was only printed as a short run due to licensing and so its rare / expensive; I didn't mind laying out around £80-100 for 1 and 2 apiece but an 'as new' Vol3 2nd hand on eBay went for over 300 quid recently and ahah nope :mad:

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
i never got into transmetropolitan. monstress also made a bunch of 'best of the decade' lists and i thought it was super boring

i was a big fan of ellis' volume 1 of the authority. don't read any subsequent issues; they're all garbage

other comics i've read that i enjoyed include

kingdom come - you can get this as a self-contained graphic novel now; it's my favourite superman arc, bar none, i think

more recently:

immortal hulk - i was never a fan of the hulk or hulk comics but this run is great and a bit more psychological

gideon falls - more of a horror bent about a mysterious location/presence known as the black barn

the chilling adventures of sabrina - i think the tv show was a good take on this even if the ending on tv was at best weird. i haven't read any of the other archie horror like afterlife with archie, vampire veronica or zombie jughead

every time people start recommending best super hero comics to new readers, most of whatever’s recommended requires knowledge of convention and lore of the genre to appreciate most of what makes them great
