Himu you stupid cunt, read Sandman. And shit by Alan Moore. Get the first volume of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen NOW. Fuck X shit.
I wish I had money to get back into comics. What I read of X-Factor during Civil War was awesome. Is everything pretty much the same since shortly after Civil War endded? Are the New Avengers still underground?
The Avengers Disassembled Hardcover is only 11.50 on amazon.

Kane is a comic book series created, written and drawn by Paul Grist. Grist also self published it through his company, Dancing Elephant Press. It concerns a police detective who works in the 39th precinct of the fictional American city of New Eden, which seems to be located on the west coast. Despite being a UK citizen, Grist appears to have modeled New Eden and its police force in the style of American Cop shows such as Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue. Another clear influence is the work of Frank Miller, particularly his Sin City comics. Cerebus was another formative influence, particularly because it proved to Grist that self-published comics were a viable proposition; the first issue of Cerebus that Grist read was #39, hence the designation of Kane's precinct.
Kane has a difficult relationship with his co-workers due to a violent encounter with his former partner, which unfolds gradually and in flashback during the series. Police corruption is a recurring theme however, Kane is also densely intertextual and brims with references to popular culture, particularly characters from British television, comics and films.
Jack Staff is a British superhero created by comic book writer/artist Paul Grist. He is billed as "Britain's Greatest Hero". It's known for being in the style of an anthology title and for its multi-linear plotlines.
He first saw print in comics published by Paul Grist's Dancing Elephant Press, and is now published by Image Comics. Comics International began exclusive publication of a monthly four-page strip featuring the supporting character Ben Kulmer (the Claw); this started in #185 of the magazine and was set to run for twelve episodes. These strips have since been reprinted by Image Comics in a special.

i fucking love ericp
he's like my favorite poster
it used to be tvc but he doesn't make fun of me as much anymore so i don't like him
I read Chosen yesterday based on an interesting Comixology article, and boy did it fucking suck. I asked my friend to guess how it ended and he said, "with rape?" Har. Undecided Also featuring the dumbest, most obvious "twist" ending since M. Night Shamalayan.
is there anything published by the big two which doesn't only appeal to continuity fetishists? i sent a list of my scans to eric and patel, and you can see from that i've tried to read some modern dc and marvel, but in all honesty i never make it more than a few pages into any of it (i mainly keep them for trading purposes)
these are all wonderful suggestions, and i have indeed read some of them (and will look into others listed here), but they are mostly independent comics
is there any mainstream escapism worth reading nowadays? i have read all-star superman and it's terrific (best luthor in years), and i have read some of ed brubaker's captain america (decent, but story arcs go on a bit too long)

modern superhero comics just strike me as more inbred than a tennessee family reunion

That's what I figured, but isn't there a big difference between the focus on continuity in Blue Beetle and say, the X-Men comics? I think a bit of continuity is fine and doesn't necessarily make it porno.
conan - darkhorse did a damn great job on this series. speaking as a conan fanboy
