Recommendations for a Comic Newbie
my only experiences with comics were with the funny pages and a few Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comic books.
that was before my last trip to central florida. while i was down there i had a few hours to kill at a friends house. as soon as i took a seat he tossed issue number one of "Kick-Ass" into my lap. i was hooked. i proceeded to read the entire Kick-Ass series. after i was done with that i read every available "Sweet Tooth" comic that he had. the whole series so far, i believe, and two issues of a comic called "Supergod."
i got home and immediately downloaded a program called Comical so that i could read comics whenever i wanted. there are no comic stores anywhere near me. i wish there were, because i prefer to read on paper. anyway, i downloaded kick-ass, JTHM, and Batman: The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum right off the bat.
now i'm stuck. i have no idea where i should go from here. if any comic readers out there would like to send some ideas my way, it would be greatly appreciated.
