Green Lantern Corps

All the podcasts call this series the best one going. I have never been a big Green Lantern fan, be it Hal Jordon or anyone else, but I decided to give it a read. Great stuff! I'm just getting into the highly regarded "Sinestro Corp War" storyline and I'm hooked. I guess this series runs hand in hand with the Green Lantern title, so I got a lot more reading to go!

On a bonus note, the first dozen or so issues were written by Dave Gibbons, the artist of Alan Moore's Watchmen!

The Walking Dead

I kept hearing about this great series called The Walking Dead, but I didn't know anything about it. I got my hands on the first one and, over a weekend, read all 50 issues. I was very pleasantly surprised! It has a '28 Days' meets 'The Preacher' vibe going on. Survivors of a zombie like virus band together to try and make it through day to day. Each issue only covers a short period of time, but the action and drama are intense. In what was called the "Best Single Comic Issue of the Year" by many publications, issue #48 certainly didn't disappoint! Check it out!

The Boys

From the twisted mind of Garth Ennis comes "The Boys". Lead by The Butcher, The Boys are an elite team of violent humans who keep the superpowered people in line by any means necessary. Using a designer drug that gives you super strength, they go after 'supes' who have done wrong. This is definitely a different kind of superhero comic, along the ultra violent lines of the Ennis' Preacher series. If you like sexed up, violent carnage, then I suggest checking this out. I just finished the first 14 issues and I like what I have seen so far!
