Hey, Jeepster42, if you need some good graphic novels, check out JLA Earth2, also anything about The Authority, including the Kev stories, and also Planetary. Also, get hold of Majestic, you could also pick up WildC.A.T.s, all very good stuff. The Authority is awesome, though, sort of like the Justice League except that The Authority would just as soon kill you as fight you twice. If you liked Preacher you'll LOVE The Authority.

I love the work of...

Jaime & Gilbert Hernandez

Moebius
(especially 'The horny goof'

Milo Manara
(especially 'Dies Irae' and the other Guiseppe Bergmann-stories)

Richard Corben
& Mike Mignola
as single artists
and their Hellboy collaborations

I tend to stick to the big two: Marvel / DC.
Particularly Batman, Green Lantern, Deadpool, Spiderman and Marvel Zombies.
Also some of the big events on both sides - final crisis, civil war, dark reign
On balance, I'd say that I prefer Marvel

lately i've been reading though the Fables series and any Batman i can get my hands on. i plan to branch out into the Marvel universe soon.
