Hey guys, I'm looking for some comic recommendations from you guys if you can help me out. I'm not really looking for SERIES at all, I've been subscribing to Daredevil, X-MEN, The Avengers and a few others since a LONG LONG TIME but I cancelled my subscription last year. Now I'm just looking for a few standalone series that have a start and a finish over the course of a few episodes that I can uh... obtain.

I prefer darker comics, more adult/mature content but I don't mean HENTAI MANGA COMICS so don't give me none of that shit.

Any suggestions you have would be great, thanks!

I always advertise the guy in topics like these, but Chris Ware knows how to spin stories.  He's conistently depressing so if you like seeing the protagonists SUCK throughout the entire length of the story, then his Acme Novelty Library series and Jimmy Corrigan are right up your ally.  He tells tales of mostly deranged and mentally challenged individuals and my favorite character from him is RUSTY BROWN who's this creepy pedophile in a jogger's suit.

I plan on making a huge topic about stand alone stories so expect something on the main page this week or so.

This post is a little vague about what I'm supposed to be looking for, I couldn't really pinpoint a comic series name other than Acme Novelty Library and I'm not sure that's it? Other than that, thanks for the suggestions guys I am looking into it all.

this aye?

Okay, at the moment I've picked up Black Hole which is pretty weird but it's enjoyable. A little TOO teen angsty but it has some cool surreal moments, I've kept reading it so far up to ep 6. Bone, which I have heard a lot of GOOD THINGS about, Sin City, I know it's laughable to a lot of COMIC FANS but I've never read it before so I picked it up and Watchmen. I've looked pretty hard for the Acme Novelty Library but I can't find it, I also looked at 52 and Scott Pilgrim. I might check out 52 if I can get it but Scott Pilgrim didn't really look like my kind of thing.

Thanks for the suggestions.

If you're gunna check out Sin City then only really read the first few volumes. It gets much worse after that.

Oh shit also league of extraordinary gentlemen. Shit you HAVE to read that, it's utterly fantastic (and nothing like the bollucks movie)

Yeah I saw it and considered it but the movie really put me off. I guess I can check it out though. Also Just read the entire Black Hole series in one sitting which was pretty intense. I think if I was reading it issue by issue it wouldn't have held my interest over that period of time but it was pretty neat for one sitting. Not very subtle with DRUGS AND STD' Message though.
