The good New 52 books are listed there already.

But seriously, in addition to his recommendations near the top of the first page, I think Fansub might've meant indie stuff as well.

At the end of the last thread I asked about comics depicting superhero police forces. After reading through Top 10 again I realised what I was actually looking for was comics about superhero societies. Big cities crammed with costumed crusaders, governments stuffed with powered people, worlds run by the great and the good, stuff like that. Places where having powers is mundane.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with comics so the only other things I can think of that fit the bill are Top 10, The Authority, or the City of Heroes series that NCSoft commissioned. Can anyone recommend something else like these?

I'd potentially recommend Jupiter's Legacy if you're not averse to Mark Millar and picking up floppies of a limited series that's currently ongoing. Aside from commenting on current political issues in America, it's about the advent of superpowers, their effect on society, and the responsibility that comes with those powers. The best part, though, is that you can check out the first three issues for the same price as a most major comic books.

I'm also into con artists, politics, spies, conspiracies, assassins, terrorists, heists -- just stuff that adds a bit of the fantastical to reality rather than time-traveling robot demons.
You might want to check out Ales Kot's Zero to see if it interests you.

I really like the strange/bizarre scifi world that feels like it was inspired by 80s-era Heavy Metal and a poo poo ton of acid.
The other recommendations are all great sci-fi, but for this, you probably want to track down Black Mask Studios' limited series Space Riders. It's on Comixology if you're digital.

I'm contemplating working on filling out one of my "mega-run" collections since Marvel has a BOGO sale and need some advice. If you could only get one (or part of one) of these bundles, which would you recommend?
  • The Back Half of Brubaker's Captain America
    • Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier
    • Captain America (2011-2012)
    • Winter Soldier #1-14
    • Miscellanea

  • Pre-Avengers Hickman
    • Relevant Dark Reign stuff
    • Hickman Fantastic Four
