[Phoenix Arrow]

And did "Elektra: Assassin" not feel like "The Dark Night Returns" with different characters?

No... why would it?

And did "Elektra: Assassin" not feel like "The Dark Night Returns" with different characters?

No... why would it?

It's the only impression I was left with after I'd finished it...for some reason it left me with distinct impressions of DKR...the art work was spiffy and all but I felt like Miller was re-treading old ground...I can't remember precisely why, it's been a while since I read Assassin.

Though to answer that question properly I'd have to go and pull it out of my collection to re-read.

Xmen plain and simple.

I will have to check out some of these suggestions, ironically allot of my favorite comics I forgot to mention were named. Y the last man, V for vendetta, Fables (jack of fables was awesome too), watchmen, maus (not done reading through it), The darkness from top cow ( which makes me ponder why it's okay for extreme gore but all cursing is @&%$@'ed out), League of extraordinary gentlemen, Dark knight (the frank miller one unless theres a diff version) and arkham asylum. some of Sandman. I guess I just feel sometimes like Ive consumed it all lol. Also The Goon, Witchblade. 30 days of night

Manga is a bit underapreciated, and you can get it online for free.

I'm a big fan of Sin City. Maybe try that.

Also(assuming you're not biased against manga) One Piece. It's truly epic.

lol Yep went through sin city as well, Also you guys should check out Kick ass ( a gory comic about a kid who acts like a superhero who really isn't and gets owned constantly) and C. B. Cebluski's wonderlost is a great read too. Also We3

If you can find a copy "The Establishment" is a great 13 part story.

End league is just fun and bizarre. set in the future and all of the regular Supers are dead, on and everyone left alive on earth is a Super.

The Loners - children of supers form a support group trying to convince themselves that they don;t need to be supers, and they end up doing it anyway.


I know you want paper comics, but Elf and Troll is funny and endearing.

I could keep going, but you have enough.

 

[Zombie Badger]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I second this one. Actually, just buy all the works of Alan Moore.

The manga Doraemon can be found on Mangafox for free, and it's such an early manga that it doesn't have that stereotypical big-eye look. Instead, it just looks like a well-made comic. So whether you're into manga or not, Doraemon is a great comic.

Doraemon - The manga that's actually just a good comic.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Maus
Marvel 1602
The Sandman series
V for Vendetta/Watchmen
John Constantine
Sin City

And I'm just gonna drop these in there as comics

The Far Side
Calvin and Hobbes

Sandman by Neil Goldman (I think thats his name)

The name you're looking for is Gaiman. Neil Gaiman wrote the Sandman comics. And a plethora of books that will each satisfy your brain.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Maus.

nuff said.

I raise you "Jonny the Homicidal Maniac"

 

[phoenix_tetsu]

The One by Rick Veitch, perverted and monstruous superheroes, nuclear conflict, nympho scientists, giant rats and the birth of universal conciousness, great, GREAT stuff

The Nikopol Trilogy by Enki Bilal, egiptian gods, clonig, the apocalypse and the mysterious frozen spaceman that ties it all

Glamourpuss, latest opus from Dave Sim, the greatest meditation on the nature of the comics medium, language, obsessions and its complex relationship with reality and percpetion, all this wrapped with drawings of very pretty girls.

Love and Rockets, needs no introduction
