Personally, I loved the initial Image run of "Powers," which I'd suggest to anyone. Also, if you like "Formerly Known as The Justice League" as much as I did, I'd suggest "Justice League: Generation Lost." And because I love the character, I'd suggest the trades of "Booster Gold." And I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but I loved Kevin Smith's "Quiver" storyline for Green Arrow.
For Marvel stuff, I'd definitely suggest "Marvels," "Alias" and Claremont and Frank Miller's original "Wolverine" mini. There's probably a lot more to suggest, but it would help to know if you like any Marvel stuff to begin with.

Red Hood and the Outlaws, believe it or not, actually had an awesome moment with Starfire in issue #3.
The heroes are forced to temporarily hand over their "happiest memories" as collateral to a kung fu monk guru kid in order to get inside a sacred room.
So where has this Starfire been hiding?!?!
She disappeared after gangbanging those other guards behind her.

This story moved on the Associated Press this morning:
Flame On! Marvel reignites the Human TorchBy MATT MOORE
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Where's Johnny Storm? In the latest issue of Marvel Comics' "Fantastic Four."
Issue No. 600, out Wednesday, marks the first time since January the classic team created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby is back to its original roster: Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, the Invisible Woman and Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, who was last seen perishing in what looked to be an all-out brawl against the minions of the Negative Zone.
Though it has only been 10 months since Marvel killed the Human Torch, death in the comics is rarely, if ever, a permanent condition.
How and why the Torch — who, along with the rest of the Fantastic Four launched Marvel's silver age 50 years ago — has returned to the living is yet to be told. But Tom Breevort, senior vice president for publishing at Marvel, told The Associated Press it's a tale that will be told in No. 600 and future issues.
"There's about 100 pages of story to tell just that," Brevoort said of Storm's return in issue 600.
Death is no stranger to the Fantastic Four. Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman, supposedly died, but that was just a ruse. Similarly, her husband, Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, was thought to be dead after being caught in a blast with his archenemy, Dr. Doom. Instead of death, however, Richards and his nemesis were snatched away to another dimension.
Brevoort said the new issue, which marks the title's return since No. 588 was published, makes it clear that Storm wasn't just hibernating or being held in a comatose state.
"Yes, he did die. He died a couple of times," Brevoort said, adding that writer Jonathan Hickman had outlined the plans for a return months ago so readers won't "feel cheated or disappointed in the slightest."
Hickman's plans will also be unveiled in the ongoing series "FF," which Marvel launched after the death of the Torch. It not only replaced the "Fantastic Four" but told the story of the surviving teammates, plus Spider-Man, too.
"'FF' will also continue, and Jon will be writing both of them. They will both function as sister titles," Brevoort said. "One focusing on the core four and the other focusing on the Future Foundation and the broader base of characters that we have assembled."
Not a surprise to anyone, but why off him in the first place?

Christ, I want this so fucking bad. But it's gotta be a Christmas gift this year. And that makes me sad.

OK, cool, I knew it was possible my memory was wrong. Didn't mean to offend your fandom, dude.
Bottom line, love the podcast, hate the "shipping," keep up the good work.

Just wanted to drop a line and say that I really like listening to the podcast each month, although - maybe it's my age - the 'shipping' stuff makes my brain turn into fucking mush. HOLY SHIT, PEOPLE.
ANYWAY, I really like listening to the evaluations because it's interesting to see when I strongly disagree with you. It's a strong nostalgia thing (maybe that's not the right word) for me to listen and remember the episodes and my reactions to them.
As a humorous aside, I remember somewhere around the end of season 2 I got a message on the Oratory from someone - I'm almost positive it was Kellen - saying something like 'I saw you have a picture of The Last Airbender as your profile. I think that looks interesting. Do you think it's worth catching up on?' My response was somewhere along the lines of 'Definitely, I think it's the best animated series ever made.' Just a few days later, I got a message back that said, 'I downloaded and watched the whole series already! This thing is awesome!'
I'm thinking it was you, Kellen, because I know we talked on IM back then. But you might not remember that.
Regardless, keep it up guys (and girl) because it's fun.

I disagree with the analysis of the art on Wolverine and the X-Men. I thought Bachalo's cover image had insanely exaggerated proportions that can't be chalked up to perspective, particularly Wolverine. I thought it continued on the interior art, though certainly not as obviously. The interiors were very nice, but it seemed to me to vary wildly between realistic character depictions and disproportionate people.

Is it possible to feel like every book is both too full of information and not informative enough? Like, they're giving me all this shitty info that I don't care about and purposely avoiding telling me what I want to know about - the new status quo for the character.
I'm not even sure I can pick a favorite book so far because they've all left me with annoying questions.

If you type "serial killer" into Scribblenauts Remix, Dexter appears!
That was pretty cool. I've been looking for other hidden goodies like that but haven't found anything yet.

What are they retaliating against?
Plot, judging from the first film.

I'm hoping I can get this for Christmas. I've been replaying Oblivion in anticipation.

I read Green Lantern #2 yesterday. I don't know if it's going to work long term, but the story is alright so far, I guess. It's not as enjoyable as the book was before the reboot.
Not even close. Plus, Hal is as uninteresting as ever. Thank God Kyle is still active in New Guardians - which had a very interesting first issue.

I'm gonna go ahead and pretend this doesn't exist. Then I'm gonna go read my Tower of Babel trade in peace.

Oh noes, a beard and a seemingly ginger Lois Lane!!
You would be the one to stand up for gingers.

Robert Downey Jr. OWNS that trailer.

Christ, you guys are sensitive. You're right, this is the Internet. How do you survive with skin that thin?

This movie is really starting to intrigue me.
Fat Russell Crowe was your tipping point? Honestly?

Dubs, I'm thinking if he was going to get the hint, it would have happened by now.

Though it's a deep story to go through, I'm pretty sure those are the Red Ninjas, renegade members of the Arashikage clan who often fought with Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow. And Jinx, come to think of it.
This just looks great. I'm kinda sad to see Duke apparently die, because I like Channing Tatum, but he was very... un-good ... in the first film. And my biggest regret? We don't get to see Marlon Wayans die.
