I don't suppose anyone else here shares my facination with comicbooks? if so, then I could really use some recommendations. I haven't been really into a monthly series for a couple of years now, and I'd like to find a series or two that I can look forward to. The only thing I'm regularly reading now is
The Red Star, which is a cool sort of sci-fi/fantasy story featuring soldiers from a fictitious country resembling the Soviet Union rebelling against their nation. I started picking it up only because I talked to the writer at the Las Vegas Comicon last fall and he talked me into buying the trade paperbacxk collecting the first twelve issues. It's not a bad read, but it only comes out like once every three months.
Somethgin else I've picked up recently is
Superman: Red Son, a nifty little "what if" story where baby Kal-El lands in a Soviet collective insead of on the Kent farm, and ends up as Stalin's successor. It does a great job capturing the flavor of the periods portrayed, as well as the flavor of classis superhero comics, in addition to posing some interesting questions about politics and morality.
Uh...rambling now...anyway...if you're reading any monthly books, I'd love to hear about them. I miss walking into the local comic shop on Wednesday to pick up my month's supply of four color goodness.
