Yeah, I've been reading Invincble since ish 30something, the oly superhero book I read since Millar left Ultimates. And thanks, Bone looks like it'll be interesting.

If you end up liking Bone, Jeff Smith is now working on another series called RASL. It's pretty interesting so far, but it's definitely for more mature audiences.

Powers: It starts off as a strange detective series following a department who investigates the murders of super powered individuals. By the time you reach where it is now it changes into something so much bigger. Cosmic battles, a descent into madness and murder, a story that literally spans all of time, and monkey sex. One whole issue devoted to monkey sex. Probably my favorite comic series in print right now.

Preacher: good in that so blatantly vulger its entertaining sort of way. There are some powerful stories but basically it tries to shock you with every ssue and usually succeeds.

Y the last man: somehow manages not to be a story about a guy fucking his way through America. The best part is that its over and you know that the full complete story is there for you to read without worry of decades of backstory you need.

Invincible: you said you were already reading this so yeah....but damn isn't it great?

Strangers in Paradise: A weird mix between comedy/drama/soap opera/ and action piece. The main plot, of the first book at least deals with love triangles, retired prostitutes, and the mob. It's that kind of weird universe where one page we might have metaphorical images with song lyrics and the next page features a horny neighbor accidently shooting his garage with a bazooka while the main character grabs his wife to tell him that the dude was spying on her in the shower. Oh and one of the main characters is named Katchoo. How can you not love a comic where the main character is named after a sneeze.

Battle Pope: Hilarous. Amazing. Read only if you are not religious in any way. I mean in any way whatsoever. Otherwise you might go to hell. Like God won't even wait till your done with issue one before he smites thee. But yeah, its great.

Buffy Season 8: Just picked up a few of these at Half priced books the other day. I don't know if it maintains the good, but the opening issues are pretty damn good. If you are a buffy fan you'll geek out with some of the stuff they do that they could never do in the etv show. If you aren't a buffy fan why the hell not? It's great tv.

Blankets: This one is also good but it is more of a graphic novel than a series. It's basically about a guy growing up and first loves. No action or anything of the such. A true indie drama comic. Bought it for my wife originally and she got me all hooked on it too.

So yeah, those be my picks.
