i saw that in the shelf the other day as well the other day, it looked intriguing. It is the one with the cello lady on the front, am i correct?
how do you people feel about marvel/dc in general? it always seemed to me like marvel held a slightly sillier, more spandex-oriented line than dc, which always looked more, well, artistically motivated. i never really liked the general everlasting superhero idea, has marvel got any non-spandex comics worth checking out?
RedLion:
It might have already been discussed, but how about Kingdom Come? I remember reading it as a kid, but I didn't really "get it" back then. I found it buried in my closet yesterday and whipped through it again...I really love the art in it, and the plot is pretty good if overdramatic.

You're serious, right?
Garp:
I am! Literally every single Marvel comic I have seen has been about some ridiculous looking dude in a suit. The exception is the punisher, but I never really warmed to him... frank castle is a cold hearted sonofabitch. i know dc has their own line of superhero silliness, but the dc/vertigo stuff tends to be pretty good.
Joseph:
Ed Brubaker's Criminal is supposed to be quite good, as far as separation from superheroes. I haven't read it, but I've loved Brubaker's work on other comics, so I imagine it has much potential. Marvel also does a whole line of literary adaptations, such as Stephen King's The Stand and Dark Tower, Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, and The Wizard of Oz.
