3/21    With the cancellation of JLU and Teen Titans; are there any first run
        comics worth a look? The Batman seems okay artwise but a bit too
        kiddish.
        \_ I've heard the Freedom Force comic book is decent. If you
           enjoyed the game (I did) you might want to give it a shot.
        \_ Warren Ellis is usually good.  He's been writing a cheap monthly
           called Fell that I quite like.  I like Brian K. Vaughn's Y. The
           Last Man, and he's been writing a title called the Runaways for
           Marvel.  I'm not a big fan of superhero comics so I don't know if
           Runaways is any good or no.  If you're not reading 100 Bullets, you
           should be, it is easily the best comic available today. -dans
           \_ last 20 issues of 100 Bullets have been stupid tone poems
              or treatises on the dark side of mankind, it's
              the most useless wanking imagineable.  Where'd the plot?
              go?  I agree the first issues were great.  If you're a dude,
              the new "Conan" comics are great.  "Girls" is creepy.
              Go read the trade paperbacks of "Lucifer".  "Punisher"
              has been written lately by the same guy who wrote "Preacher".
              Occasionally it's also the same artist.
              \_ I only read it in trade paperback form, so the last I read
                 was the Hard Eight storyline, which kicked ass.  Garth Ennis
                 wrote "Preacher".  I like his stuff when he's on to
                 something, but I don't find him to be reliably good. -dans
        \_ Powers. It just keeps getting better.
           \_ Also on my list. -dans
