A few good picks that you should be able to find in stands now ...Midnight Nation and Rising Stars , both by B5 creator JMS. Midnight Nation is as previously said about a man looking for his soul and Rising Stars is a different take on superheros, with a Higlander/Jet Li's The One twist.Warren Ellis, my fav author, also has written a lot of good stuff like Transmetropolitan -- which tells the stories of Spider Jerusalem, an hot shot reporter in a messed up cyberpunk-ish american metropolis of the future and his fight against both a corrupt president and the society as a whole. Some really good stuff and IMO the best series in stores right now. --, Planetary -- a story of secret service investigators that are investigating the paranormal and supernatural of a superhero world. A rather different take on the whole superhero mythos -- and Strange Kisses/Stranger Kisses/Strange Killings -- some heavy duty and incredibly gory sci-fi --.In the fantasy department I can offer you Battle Chasers an Manga-ish story. Not very heavy reading, but quite entertaining. A popcorn flick of comics. The US comic market as a rule is not very good when it comes to fantasy. I have never read Warlands or Steampunk but I'm told that both are silimar to Battle Chasers. For good fantasy go the Manga or european route, although I think that eurocomics are hard to access in the states.Yeah, and Groo, probably the best US fantasy series evah!!Those are the first to spring to mind although there are a lot of good comics out there now.</blockquote>
