just wondering what your top 5 favorite comic book stories are
mine are
5-Batman The Killing Joke
4-The Question Zen and Violence
3-Batman Year One
2-Watchmen
1-Batman The Long Halloween
By no means a "top 5", but 5 of my faves. In no particular order;
The Couriers, "The Ballad of Johnny Funwrecker" Green Lantern, "The Sinestro Corps War" Local, the whole thing The Invincible Iron Man, "The Five Nightmares" DMZ, "Body Of A Journalist"
If you haven't read rebirth I'd tell you to pick that one up. As for the Sinestro Corps War, it's really cool too and definitely a must if you're going to read Blackest Night at all part of the whole "it's a trilogy" sort of thing.
Fuck dude, pick up every issue of the new GL series starting at Rebirth to the current. Its the best DC book, maybe even "mainstream comicbook" out now.The only current competition is probably Captain America.
Age of Apocalypse, when it came out, was freaking awesome. Its like Marvel said to all their artists- "hey, this alternative universe is a fucking hellhole, go nuts of the artwork".Then they told the writers- "Do what you please, kill who you want, it doesn't matter as long as these three people (X-Man, Magneto, Apocalypse) are together at the end of this story." And they did, and every book was rediculously cool. Only problem? It made the mainstream Marvel Universe seem terribly lame by comparison.
