Try Hawkeye. It's the most unoriginal recommendation possible at this point, but it's really drat good and has almost no continuity to speak of.

prefect posted:Whoops. I thought Hudlin's run was plenty bad, especially since the only way he knew to make Panther and Wakanda look good was making everyone else look like petty children. Anyone remember "blacks are naturally athletic but not as smart as whites" Dr. Doom? Or how about some loving Wakandan scientist being all "We shouldn't share the cure for cancer with the outside world, they're simply not ready." God, what a clusterfuck.

I apologize to Reginald Hudlin, then.

I think the entire series except Azzarello and Andy Diggle's runs are worth reading, but Original Sins is obviously the strongest part. I think it's a lot more enjoyable when you've read the rest because of how it reinvents and analyzes certain parts of the character, who was well-traveled by then. Ennis came up with the premise because it was the only thing he could figure hadn't been done with Constantine yet. A lot of people dislike the early stuff, but I think most of it is really great, and Swamp Thing is so good you should read it for its own sake, not just because it's where Constantine got his start and had his core character traits established. The new 52 version can eat a dick.

It's Slott, so it's pretty bad and stupid and poorly paced, but it's not the very worst thing he's ever written.

Books of Doom is a really good modernized version of his origin story, and Dr. Strange & Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment is a great Doom story that happens to have Dr. Strange in it not doing much.

Sarchasm posted:I just came to the end of Remender's run on Venom. Do I stop now, or bravely press on into Cullen Bunn territory? I recommend stopping now. The only real moment of note to come is a brief team-up with Toxin Eddie Brock. There's a lot of dumb bullshit around that, including a very stupid demon subplot.

The one that was part of the adventures line was pretty good, probably better than the cartoon overall. I can't speak for the other "mainline" comics.

obi_ant posted:On another note. If I just wanted something to read with a bunch of T&A, hopefully with a good story what would I aim for? Adam Warren's Empowered is basically just a fetish comic, although some people keep insisting it's also got writing in it. "Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose" is Boobs: The Comic, but is famously terribly written. You're probably better off just reading actual porno.

Panels I've seen in the Funny/Badass threads look like it could be a fun series. Get the initial run and nothing else.

I recommend away from Planet Hulk, personally, since it plays up this angle where Banner might be more of a monster than Hulk, which is counter to your purposes.

There are very few bad Hellblazer runs, so you're pretty safe no matter what trade you pick up. Unless it's Azzarello or Diggle.
