It certainly made Batman cool again.

I'd also recommend Scud the Disposable Assassin if you can manage to track down some copies ... fun pop-culture snack food.

Plus the story arc is great. Amazing characters, premise/plot is engaging. Pick up the first trade (there are 11 so far) that way you won't get stuck in that comic rut of having to wait for subsequent story flashes every 30 days or so. Also, look at Brubaker's work (esp. Sleeper). Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:47:00 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/695#comment_1504 http://www.indy.com/posts/695#comment_1504 sherri.pfouts And what's your GF's name again? Anyhoo, I'm watching the Watchmen. And I'm way into Clowes, too.

A recent favorite is Ultimates Vol. 1 - found here at Amazon.com Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:50:03 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/695#comment_1461 http://www.indy.com/posts/695#comment_1461 dummied Run out and get The Watchmen right now. Actually, almost anything by Alan Moore is worth the price of admission. I'm more into the collected works stuff rather than standalone graphic novels, so I'd throw Frank Miller's various Sin City series stuff in there along with Garth Ennis' run on Hellblazer as well.
