Superior Spiderman is the one we deserve.

You misspelled Spock.

Is the Scarlet Spider still running with Kane in Houston? or Dallas. Can't remember. Was pretty cool though

I'm looking for some suggestions for some new comics. I'm looking for a mature superhero book that doesn't shy away from violence, nudity, and language. But. I'm looking for a book that doesn't just throw those things in gratuiously for no other reason than being MATURE FOR MATURE READERS WHO LOOOOOVE BOOBS AND BLOOD YEEEEAAAAH!!!

I'm thinking something like supreme power, back when it was under the MAX heading... But it's entirely possible I may not reply enjoy those books anymore as I read them forever ago. I love avengers and the like, but I'm sort of tired of the status quo with the big characters. Any suggestions? I've mostly stuck with mainstream comics so anything outside of that would be good

Insert generic but ALWAYS relevantInvinciblerecommendation.

AndThe Boys

AndPowers, though that's initially from the perspective of cops who investigate super hero related crimes.

Irredeemable


Too lazy to find links or go in depth, but these are all really good=P

If you want something classic and probably a bit deeper check out the relaunch ofMiracle Man by Alan Moore. That shit was epic.

Appreciate it. I don't need links, so no worries. I'll check those out. I was going to be looking at invincible in the next week or so. I've heard good things. The rest I'm only familiar with in passing. Thanks for the recommendations.

Is powers related to that common grounds series?

Edit: Thanks for those as well lanx

Yeah, I see that. I'll take that as a good sign

So just wanted to throw some theories out.

I think the person who picked up Thor's hammer is Jane Foster. Remember she's an Ambassador in Asgard and all the pics they show of Female Thor has lush hair which is deceptive to her bald cancer ridden head. Before we get the whole "BUT SHE CAN'T BREATH IN SPACE" I think Thor's hammer landed on the Blue Side of the Moon. Also... comics.

Also, Wolverine dying. I believe he will stay dead for awhile. And by awhile, I mean a year. I bet he's in that shell and is going to come out like a butterfly. Like that immense pain and hot adamantium killed him down to the last few cells in his body that housed that virus that killed his healing factor. Now he's slowing regenerating inside. A psychic will hear his thoughts or someone will hear his heartbeat and say "OMFG LOGAN IS ALIVE IN DERE! BEAST! LET'S GET HIM OUTS NOW!"

All I can think about is that stupid spider-man story where he died and then burst from an egg able to shoot webs without shooters.

I'd love for there to be some finality in this. There are enough people in the marvel universe that could fill his shoes that we don't NEED him back.

I liked Y the last man.

Saga! Read Saga! It's the best comic out there, right now. It's more sci-fi than super hero, but you get the idea anyway. Really good story with violence, nudity and adult language/themes.

Aside from that, Invincible is the shit. Think of it like a cross between Kick-Ass (moralistically) and Super-Man (super hero abilities).

Saga is quite good.

Saga is good but the huge breaks and stuff make it seem like I will be long dead before the story actually gets told.
