Comics?
Manderlin over at HeroesTV.com posted a question of what comics/trades/graphic novels would be good to read. Here is the list I gave him
Identity Crisis
Green Lantern: Reborn
Planet Hulk (and the current World War Hulk)
The Walking Dead
Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate X-Men
All Stars Superman
The Ultimates
Supreme Power
Buffy: Season 8
Boneyard
The new Thor book
Sin City
Ex-Machina
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Much better than the movie)
Kingdom Come
Superman for All Seasons
Superman: Peace on Earth
Wonder Woman: Spirit of Hope
SHAZAM: Power of Hope
Batman: War on Crime
I would suggest these to any one. Check them out, or even better buy them from Kowabunga Comics!
