I know it's not a popular choice around here, but I'd also recommend the trade paperback of John Byrne's Man of Steel.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Sorry, my head just exploded.
Did I mention that he wears Buddy Holly glasses and has a shaved head? Very individualistic, he is.
Powers is very good. He might enjoy that. I thought of Astro City but I think it's a bit too much for the neophyte.
And, while enjoyed some of Top Ten, I have to say, and this may be sacreligious, that Alan Moore has gone way downhill. Tom Strong is also OK, but Supreme is too self concious, and Promethea? Ugh. He seems to have forgotten one of the first rules of story telling . . . . Show, don't tell.
Haven't read Transmet.
As far as the Mormon thing, I think just not, like, Preacher or Sin City. No boobies or outrageous language.
Forgot about Marvels. God, that's lovely.
I really like John Byrne. Maybe I'll try that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Supreme is too self concious
I read Judgment Day, thinking it would be cool, but instead it kinda sucked, mostly.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Don't touch anything that's been touched by Rob Liefield. It's evil.

Heh. The recent Red K Awards busted on him for even trying to solicit upcoming projects as if there were ever going to be a finished print product.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Am I the only one looking at the pricetag under those chintzy Aquaman and Daredevil costumes and thinking they left off the con- prefix when referring to the artist?
