American Vampire is really good. There are some early stories by Stephen King that are kind of weak, but it's pretty smooth sailing after that.

I just want to recommend anyone who likes fun lighthearted comics NEEDS to read Bandette if you haven't already. It is utterly fantastic.

Genetic Toaster posted:100 Bullets is very much love it or hate it (I personally love it) and drops the gritty crime drama aspect partway through to focus on a conspiracy plot. It's super hard to get into and ridiculously hard to follow (I only really started to understand the plot after reading that fan website), so I wouldn't recommend it to someone trying to get into comic books. I would maybe recommend the first trade at least. I think it's super solid story by itself.

Anime_Otaku posted:Enjoying Powers, Gotham Central and DD so far. Can't find X-statix on Comixology though X-Force shows up. I've read book one of Top 10 but can't seem to track down book 2 or a digital version. Going to give Alias a go. The X-Statix stuff starts on X-Force #116, and you can find it on Marvel Unlimited. I'm pretty sure Alias isn't digital since it is MAX but the omni for it is getting a reprint. zoux posted:Well the Milligan/Allred X-Force starts in X-Force #116 and runs through #129 so that's a good chunk of comics.

irlZaphod posted:I'd recommend New Warriors, I just posted in the Marvel thread about how fun it is. I don't think I'd recommend Young Avengers for a 10 year old, though, certainly not the Gillen/McKelvie run. You might want to pre-read that before giving it to him. There is just a bit of "mature" content, I suppose. TBH I don't remember much mature content unless you think homosexual relationships aren't appropriate for kids, but that book is definitely aimed at an older audience(teenagers). I'm going to recommend the Marvel Unlimited if you have a tablet of any kind. It has all of Ultimate Spider-Man and good portions of everything else you listed(Marvel ones at least). Teen Titans does kind of blow, and the run I can think of that people really like is by Geoff Johns, so probably not for kids. I would maybe flip through some of GLC before you get into it because it can get pretty violent, GotG is a much better book if you want sci-fi adventures. ALSO get Cyclops, it's about the young Cyclops from the past hanging out in space with his space pirate father. Just make sure you get the new series. hadji murad posted:Outside of superheroes, Lookouts and Bandette would be real stimulating and look gorgeous.

Hekk posted:I added New Warriors to my list. I looked around and I agree that it looks like it might be a good fit. Also I appreciate the heads up about New Avengers. I've no problem with homosexual relationships or sexual implications. My boy is pretty mature and has a clear understanding of how babies are made. I'd just like to stay away from full nudity (he's a bit young to be rubbing one out anyway) and extremely graphic violence (decapitations, disembowelment, body parts flying around, etc.). There isn't anything like that in YA, but I'm not sure if a 10-year-old would really connect with it. Does he have a tumblr? If he does then he'll probably like it.

The Wicked + The Divine was super good. I liked Thomas Alsop by BOOM!. it's about some family that got cursed and becomes "The Hand of the Island(New York)" and goes around stopping weird magic poo poo from happening. It has really nice art and is jumping between some pilgrim rear end dude which was the first one, and his great great grandson who is some drug addled rock star type dude who is making a reality show based on his adventures or something? I dunno it seems pretty cool.

WinnebagoWarrior posted:Speaking of Batman, what are the must read graphic novels/trades? The only Batman thing I have ever read is Killing Joke and I liked it. I would prefer standalone type stuff as I know very little about the DC Universe. I plan on reading Day One and Long Halloween. I dont mind grim darkness (which seems to be a prerequisite for getting in to Batman) and I dont like goofy stuff too much unless its actually pretty funny. Also, just give me a top 2 or 3 favorites. I asked this question elsewhere and got several lists of, like, 10 each. Appreciated but I am realistically not going to spend the next year reading Batman. Just a few more beyond Year One, Killing Joke, and Long Halloween. Black Mirror by Scott Snyder and Year 100 by Paul Pope. I would also suggest picking up anything with Dick as Batman.

Brocktoon posted:I read the Hulk suggestions earlier, but any recommendations of good Hulk stuff for my 9-year-old nephew? He loves the Hulk, and I've been getting him Marvel Adventures Hulk collections for years, but he's a pretty mature, smart kid, and I think he can definitely handle something more sophisticated. (He's reading LotR on his own) I took him to a comic book store for the first time, and he was interested in the new Waid Hulk, but I don't know anything about it. I think Waid's Hulk was really good for the first couple arcs. Maybe like a trade or two of it.

Hakkesshu posted:I don't know that it requires no background knowledge, since not only does it spin off from Siege: Loki and Gillen's Thor run, kid Loki himself is a result of something that happened in Fraction's run, which is itself a continuation of JMS' run. It's all very good, but I can't agree that it's mostly self-contained. I only actually read the mainline Siege story line and I followed it just fine.

They are less superheroy, but you should absolutely read East of West and Manhattan Projects, both are written by Hickman. Also read his F4/FF, the first omni is out and the second is coming out pretty soon.

http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Marvel/FANTASTIC-FOUR-BY-HICKMAN-OMNIBUS-HC-VOL-01/MAY130711 Hickman's Fantastic Four is one of my absolute favorite comics ever. This is the first half, and the second comes out in a couple weeks I think. Also if your order on IST is over $50 they give you free shipping.

Majuju posted:HOLY poo poo I just spent, like, an hour trying to remember the title of a series I was hyped about and thought I had missed the launch of. Turns out I didn't, turns out it's Drifter, turns out it's out next week. I had to dig back through like a month of Becky Cloonan's vacation photos from Wales to find it. I thought Copperhead was interesting, but I will probably trade wait it. I was enjoying Trees until the last issue that came out and now I'm loving it. There was a really cool dialogue on gender and sexuality in it that I really didn't expect.

SunAndSpring posted:So I've been reading a lot of Grant Morrison (Doom Patrol, Animal Man, All-Star Superman), as well as Saga and Kill Six Billion Demons, and I'm really liking the weird bullshit that happens in those comics. Are there any other good surreal and bizarre comics like these? If you want some weird meta comics I just read Satoshi Kun's Opus and it is very much that. A manga artist's characters come to life and try to stop him from killing them off.

I really found the Valeria/Doom angle interesting and would like to see more arcs involving Uncle Doom. Also how the hell did that even happen? You should really check out Hickman's Avengers if you liked his FF. I know it's not really what you were asking for but it is very good.(And it does have Doom and Val in a couple issues.)
