BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:I'm reading through Grant Morrison's original run of Animal Man and loving it. Is the rest of the comic worth reading after he stopped writing it? Swamp Thing, Sandman (in the vaguest possible way), and Miracleman are all beloved comics that take a "darker" look at previously underexposed characters. You might also like Morrison's Doom Patrol.

I don't even know how you talk about classic Ellis sci-fi without mentioning Transmetropolitan. It's not as polished as some of his later stuff (Planetary), but it's also more than 5 or 6 loving issues.

I'm looking for entire issues or long scenes in issues that are mostly well-written dialogue. I'm thinking specifically of the Ultimate Spiderman issue where Peter tells Aunt May about everything, and the conversation between Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in Avengers #28. Not necessarily Superhero comics, though.

Hulk: The End is probably too much of a downer for your purposes, but it's a standalone about a future where the Hulk is the only person left alive left, his anger basically pointless, Banner trapped inside.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Wanted to thank whoever recommended Loki: Agent of Asgard a while back. I dragged my feet on it because I count "all that Thor poo poo" along with "all that space poo poo" that is normally outside my enjoyment zone. But so far it's a ton of fun. Have you read Journey into Mystery?

Nehru the Damaja posted:I haven't. From which point are you talking about -- doesn't that series go back to like the 50s? I saw it had some relaunch in 2011 but it looks like the first ton of it is in Fear Itself, which a friend matched to my expectations when he called it "turbo-dumb." Yeah, sorry - I was indeed specifically referring to Kieron Gillen's JiM, starting here. It was the best thing to come out of Fear Itself, requires no background knowledge (since Loki interacts only tangentially with the whiz-bang superhero bits going on elsewhere). It continues on for a year after that crossover, and is a very good story about a clever child-Loki.

Mahasamatman posted:I really loved Saga of the Swamp Thing. What are some other good comics about with existential outsider protagonists? Would Silver Surfer scratch that itch?

Seconds is the O'Malley comic with a heavier fantasy focus, btw.

If you like Darth Vader, definitely check out Kieron Gillen's other work, especially Wicked and the Divine and his X-Men run.

Cyphoderus posted:A lot of comic books feature hand-to-hand combat at some point, but in these scene artists tend to pose characters in the most generic fashion they can. Even characters who are supposedly martial arts masters (Captain America, Batman, Cassandra Cain) or who are associated with specific fighting styles (Wildcat) get the exact same "fight choreography" as everyone else: either those overcommitted punched straight from the 20's, or a "punches and kicks" thing inspired by bland 80's karate flicks. Some, but not all, issues of "Zero".
