[QUOTE="Villano, post: 901091, member: 505"] I've been out of the loop with comics for a couple of years now (not living near a comic shop does that), but I'd recommend checking out the various Hellboy collections. Especially since there's a new movie that's going to be coming out directed by Blade 2's del Toro and starring Ron Pearlman. Also, if you want to get into the history, there are these great collected reprints of Marvel comics called Marvel Masterworks. They started these things a few years ago as $50 hardcover books. Now Barnes & Nobles bookstores are selling [B]softcovers[/B] for (brace yourself) [B]$12.95![/B] They are B & N exclusives (the Barnes & Noble logo is printed on the spine), so you'll need to buy them at one of their stores or online. They just started these things, so only the first volumes are out, so it's a good place to jump on. I bought myself Spider-Man (issues #1-10 and Amazing Fantasy #15) and Hulk (issues 1-6). I know that X-Men, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and Silver Surfer are out. Avengers is also due soon and I'm defintely picking that up. I'm pretty sure Thor is supposed to be out in the near future, too. I'll probably also get that one. The Spidey book is an especially good history lesson. You get to see the 1st appearances of Chameleon, Vulture, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, and Electro, as well as The Enforcers (3rd string bad guys that some people have some pretty fond memories of). Oh, and he also meets the Fantastic Four for the 1st time and fights Dr. Doom. Not bad for $12.95. Sorry if it sounds like I'm really hyping these things...because I am! :) I was so burned out on the whole "dark and gritty" thing going on in 90% of the books out there that it was really energizing to read some of the more innocent stuff. I'm jazzed about comics again. [/QUOTE]
