How is Warren Ellis' run on Excalibur? I really like Ellis in general.

SaucyPants posted:I am on the last issue of 100 bullets and am wondering what series I should start next. Try Deus Ex Machina. It's not super noir-ish but it has an interesting hook: retired superhero runs for mayor of NYC and wins. It has a beginning and end, and it's consistently good.

What's a good place to start in terms of finding Tony Stark's reaction once he's told about all the questionable poo poo he did before he lost his memory? I have to think that makes for a good story.

If I've never been a big Flash reader despite enjoying the character, is the Johns Flash Omnibus worth picking up?

I asked once before and I'm hoping for better luck this time, is Warren Ellis' Exaclibur run any good? I know it got the Visionaries treatment but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Couple specific questions regarding books that sound interesting: a)Empire by Mark Waid, where a Dr.Doom analog wins in his fight against heroes and becomes Emperor of Earth. How is it? Is the trade fairly available? b)NYX. Saw a big hardcover covering a fair amount of issues it seems (it's about the size of the Powers Def, HC's) not sure if it was Marjorie Liu or not.

The Titans run by Johns is what put him on the map, right? Because I saw the Omnibus solicit and it sounds intriguing.

poo poo, I'd frgotten that I've read Crooked Little Vein (liked it), and Thunderbolts(sorta wish he still wrote it). And I have the first volume of Global Frequency, it's quite good. But I'll check out Fell and Stormwatch.

You wanna read the OSHC Utopia, which collects the issues of Dark Avengers not collected in your OSHC. I am intrigued by Exiles. What's the really good stuff, and what should I avoid other than Claremont?

It was part of a 3 part story that spanned both, but I believe it occurred in X-Factor.

How are the more horror-oriented MAX books from Marvel, like Zombie, Dead of Night, and Hellstorm: Son of Satan? Also, was the Pete Wisdom MAX mini any good?

Messiah Complex is decent but unnecessary, and Secret Invasion is skippable, and has some truly regretful art.

Is Jack Kirby's Demon Omnibus worth it? Also, how is the Man-Thing omnibus? The cover is gorgeous, but I know little other than seeing him say "Y'all the bitches that got me my riches" made me laugh my rear end off.

So I was thinking about writing about how love and sexuality are portrayed in comic books....can I get some recommendations on some good reading material to be able to write about this in a fairly astute manner?

Thanks guys. The beauty is I've read some of this stuff but for whatever reason, did not think of it. One thing though: I wouldn't mind some negative examples, because I think it's important that comics can send bad messages just like it can be a great example of positivity regarding sexulaity and love. I'll definitely mention Chris Claremont's weird need to include his mind control fetish in so many stories, Rob Liefeld protesting a bit too much with Rictor being outed as pansexual, and the unfortunate Superman/Barda thing. I'll also talk about Wonder Woman's interesting origins (although I don't consider that a negative, it's an interesting story and I'm pretty sure Werthem's slimy rear end pounced on it). El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at Nov 8, 2012 around 20:33 |

There's also a very good Captain America mini-series called Truth set in WWII which centres around a black soldier who was the test subject for the super solider formula they later used on Steve Rogers. There's also New Frontier, a DC mini-series set during WWII where many superheroes retroactively make their debut. There's also an animated version that made me really appreciate Martian Mnahunter/J'onn J'onzz.
