Favorite Comic Book?

[Wicked Child]

I know everyone likes at least ONE!

I like X-Men, Spawn, Spider-Man, The Punisher,League Of Extraordinary Gentleman, The Sandman, The Spectre, among a few others, but number one for me is, was and always will be BAT MAN, and i'll tell you why. His character is tortured and forever haunted by the memory of watching his parents get murdered, which makes him a dark, mysterious and brooding man, who is twisted on avenging his parents' death and making sure it happens to no one else. And that makes for some REAL interesting stories, plus, he breaks away from the stereotypical hero with strange super powers, and instead uses his head and actually thinks.

So, enough of my rambling, what are your favorite comic books?

 

[spaffe]

i'm in now way an avid comic-reader but i do enjoy "alien vs perdator" when i can get my hands on a copy, lobo and preacher are entertaining as well.

 

[wullief]

Judge Dredd

i do like the x-men though

 

[Malleus]

Transmetropolitan
Preacher
Hellblazer
Bone
Sandman
Watchmen(I loathe superhero comics, but this is definitely an original take on the subject).

 

[Astral Poetry]

Anything by Allan Moore and Frank Miller. Watchmen is definetly my favorite series of all time.

 

[Malleus]

Hmm, forgot to mention Astro City. As mentioned I despise superheroes, but it is another very interesting twist of the 'ol hood and cape.

 

[Voice of God]

Sandman/Gaiman rules over all. From Hell is great also. Moebius, Bilal and Franquin out of european comic makers and Petri Hiltunen out of finnish. Most superhero stuff isn't too good, merely entertaining at best, although McFarlane/Miller's Batman is very good and Spawn is pretty good too.

 

[chemicalburn]

I like the various X-men and the Ultimates. Some other enjoyable ones are Battle Pope, Warrior Nun Arrealla, Bigger Dicks, and the Filth.

 

[Wicked Child]

I forgot The Preacher and Bone! Not to mention The Watchmen! classic stuff! And i agree with most of you, just about anything by Allan Moore and Frank Miller is good. Frank Miller's Batman is easily some of the best stuff from the ol' Dark Knight, as well as some of the best stuff of Frank Miller's career. And i really like Paul O' Neil's Batman alot, as well.

 

[Flaming Death]

I like Sandman alot as well.

 

[Over Broen]

ninjak

 

[Crusader]

Larson!

 

[The saYer]

maximum carnage(spider man)
ALIENS: colonial marines
Transformers(non anime_____anime sucks)

 

[NAD]

Transmetropolitan
Preacher
Hellblazer

I haven't kept up with Transmet or Hellblazer as much as I should, but am familiar with both. Preacher I read the entire series at least once a year.

 

[union9]

I've been out of the loop for years now, but I did love 2000 AD, Judge Dredd, The Punisher, A.B.C. Warriors, Rouge Trooper, Slain, Lobo, Faust, Spawn, Alien Vs. Predator, Asterix, Foot Rot Flats, Garfield. Judge Dredd would have to be still the best for me.

 

[Malleus]

Lobo

Damn, how could I have forgotten? Lobo is one of the best comics ever. Simon Bisley is fuckin' brilliant!

 

[Malleus]

Btw, anyone who enjoys Sandman should check out The Dreaming. A spin-off from Sandman, by other writers and artists, but often very good.

 

[Flaming Death]

The Dreaming you say? so Gaiman isnt involved? i might check it out.

Death is cool too but its only 2 books i think. its about Dreams sister Death

 

[Malleus]

If you like Death, I think the Dreaming could be your thing. Now don't get me wwrong, it isn't all brilliant, but the stories focus on Dreams sideshows, like matthew(the raven), Lucien the Librarian, Eve, Kain and Abel and so forth, and the people who are lucky or unlucky enough to get involved in the affairs of The Dreaming.
