Recommended comic book reading list!

Teenagers from Mars.... after a series of grave robberies stemming to fuel a burgeoning comic book habit, the town of Mars enacts prohibition on comics. Enter Macon and his punk beauty queen Madison on an expedition to free Mars from itself in an ode to Natural Born Killers

The Dark Knight Returns.....a dreadful futurish turn lures Bruce Wayne to don the cape and cowl after a ten year retirement from crime fighting to save Gotham from the clutches of reemerging rogues and the new threat of the Mutants

Bone.... A terrific fantasy tale involving three exiled cousins from Boneville due to the meddling and scheming mind of Phoney the resident con artist. The three stumble onto the path of Thorn who is destined to become a powerful magical princess who must then fight the impending invasion of the terrible stupid stupid rat creatures.

SCUD The Disposable Assassin
..... A robotic assassin wishing to live, keeps his primary target on life support while taking various hit jobs for the mob in order to pay the medical bills

Bomb Queen: WMD
... The woman of mass destruction despotic ruler of New Port City commands respect with an iron fist. This villain centric tale involves pretty much every vile and despicable act ushered unto humanity with hilarious results and great tongue in cheek humor.

Sin City (series)... Crime noir complete with femme fatales has never been this good. Frank Miller's creation spawned several other yarns, as Basin City's behemoth, Marv ends up in bed with a dead prostitute and the cops already on the scene. Marv has got to use all of guts and brute strength to defeat the man who's behind Goldie's death. The original insanely paced story of boy meets girl, girl gets killed, boy vows revenge, all hell breaks loose.

Watchmen... It's the book that all who follow have tried to measure up to. It's taught in collegees around the country. The Keene Act has outlawed costumed adventurers. Guess somebody didn't tell whoever murdered The Comedian. With a cavalcade of new characters, this epic spins like these characters had been around for decades. With the world on the verge of nuclear war, several underlying conspiracies, mixed with government intrigue and two side stories that run neck and neck with Moore's opus.

Ultimate Spider-Man... Marvel Comic's icon gets revamped for the new millennium. Peter Parker is a high school science geek who's got a thing for the redhead next door. Through coincidence, or maybe destiny, a genetically altered species of spider bites young Parker imbuing him with the proportionate stregth, speed and agility of a spider. Plus he gets a little extra upgrade with "spidey sense." The rest of the story unravels in a new and updated way, including the wrestling origins and early web slinging actions of The Ultimate Spider-Man.
