My Top 5 (Current) Favorite Comic Reads....

1) Squadron Supreme-I've mentioned this title numerous times in our blog and I'm just waiting for the book to return from hiatus. The above video also gives Squadron a review/shout out as well.

2) The Boys-covert CIA and superhero hijinks courtesy of Garth Ennis. And the character known as Wee Hughie bears a striking resemblance to the British actor, Simon Pegg of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead fame. A coincidence? Doubt it!

3) World War Hulk-Marvel's latest event series. My specific title favorite is The Incredible Hulk currently drawn by Gary Frank who also pencils for Squadron. Great books to read and great to look at.

4) Mighty Avengers-not to be confused with the New Avengers. This book possess excellent and realistic dialogue coupled with GGA (Good Girl Art) thanks to the tag team of Brian Michael Bendis and Frank Cho.


and lastly,
5) Y the Last Man-another title that I have mentioned previously in Afronerd. Follow the adventures (coming to a theater near you real soon) of Yorick Brown as he is literally the last man on earth. Only women remain and it's not the paradise one would think. This book is written by Brian K. Vaughn and penciled by....a woman...Pia Guerra. We're again told that this was a coincidence as well. It doesn't matter because not only is Ms. Guerra talented but she should be allowed to tell a story from a female perspective. Now check out some more clips from Youtube's Comic Blender show. And I would implore our readers to check out all of these titles in trade paperback. You won't be disappointed.
