Great Lakes Avengers. Hilarious.

Back in the day, I was an X-Men, Spawn, and Silver Surfer guy. Beach Tribe and I had similar tastes.

Now, I like graphic novels more. I was never really a Justice League fan, but loved loved Kingdom Come. The Sinestro Corp Wars, Planet Hulk, Old Man Logan, Walking Dead, Y: The Last Man. I've heard some good things about Invincible, so I may check that out.

Definitely one of my favorites when I was a kid. The best from Image Comics were Spawn and The Maxx.

I haven't read a single one or played either of the video games, unfortunately. I'll look into them.

I was always into superheroes, not so much into comics. I have read a few though and tend to only like Spider-Man, X-Men and Batman comics. For me, a comic hinges like 90% on the drawing style and the rest on the actual storyline. I like the sleek, new style of the Ultimate comics so Ultimate Spider-Man and X-Men are cool. There was this one Batman comic I read with him fighting Superman with superb drawing. I want to say it was Kingdom Come but I could just be making that up. Batman is just cool as shit so I can enjoy any comic I read about him.

Speaking specifically, the comics I like the most are Wolverine: Origins, Marvel: Civil War and the Black Panther wedding with Storm.

I think you're talking about The Dark Knight Returns. Bats takes on Supes, who is then an agent for the governrment. In that story, Bats is like 60 years old. Another great graphic novel read.

I just Googled it and I think it was from Hush. This still came up in the query and it matches the drawing style I like.

Plus the one I was talking about, I remember Superman being under mind-control. Apprently it was Poison Ivy.

Also, Michael Turner is a beast. Anything he draws is amazing.

Ennis' "Welcome Back Frank" Series for the Punisher was pretty great.

I love most anything Batman. "Justice League: Tower of Babel" Shows why he's the ultimate badass. "Hush," "The Dark Knight Returns," "Year One," and "The Killing Joke," were all pretty awesome.

Superman- "For the Man who Has Everything," is one of the best comic books ever. All-Star Superman is also pretty Great.

We3 was a good one if you're looking for something off the wall.

Runaways was probably one of the best concepts for a comic, I'd read when it first came out. Once the traitor was identified, it went steeply down hill, but up until then it's one of my favorites of all time.

I still love Walking Dead... The Prison/Governor stories were the best ones, IMO. It's starting to get interesting again.

I'll agree about Preacher being one of the best adult comics.

Darkness? It's uneven in quality, but the initial story line before he began interacting with the Angles was cool. I kind of got convoluted for me after than point.

I'm not much of a fan of the X-men anymore, but a somewhat recent Uncanny X-Force story line where they're hunting a new Apocalypse in the form of a child was pretty great. Of course they ruin the impact of the ending in subsequent X-titles like they often do, but that's just typical of X-men crap.
X-Factor and Maddrox have had some really good runs in the past when Peter David is at the helm.

Brubaker's Captain America: Winter Soldier run is really good. I've never liked the ol' Cap, so to have any comic writer make me care about his comic seemed unlikely to me, but Brubaker did it. Mark Waid's Rebirth series isn't half bad either.
