I read the first 10 Jonah Hexes. Liked them, interesting how he looks like Clint Eastwood with a big mangled face. I like how they are individual stories.
Man With No Name comic doesn't look much like Clint, on the other hand.
All-Star Superman. The story about Pa Kent's dying was very touching. Best drawn and written comic, certainly superhero, comic out there. Also nice individual, or at most, two part storylines. I like the longer stories, but there is something refreshing in getting an entire story in one.
The Boys was sick and twisted. If people only knew. Best they don't.
Read some first issues, since that might actually do me some good.
Rasl by Jeff Smith, (of Bone fame) is about a dimensional thief. Promising. Still early.
Kick Ass; scrawny nerd puts on a rubber suit and gets the crap knocked out of him. Also interesting. Still early.
Punisher: great story, great writing. As good as any thriller out there.
Star Wars Legacy: First 20 issues. It's great to be in the Star Wars universe.....but.....something bothers me.
How come the Jedi are ambushed and destroyed......again! For being Jedi, they sure are stupid.
Why is another Skywalker tempted by the Dark Side? With father issues.....?
Why does the frakken Republic constantly fall apart? With a corrupt leader that anyone with half a brain could see was corrupt?
Basically, in a weird way, it cheapens the original story. I can't tell if they just keep going to the same well because they feel they need to, or because Lucas O.K.'s it, or because they really lack imagination.
It's fun. But.....why the same damn elements over and over again?
