I am a big fan of Brubaker. His run on Daredevil with Mike Lark is pretty much the only current Marvel thing I've read in the last ten years. Ditto Gotham Central and DC. I met him at a Wizard World party in Dallas one year, and I kind of fanboyed on him a bit. I think I creeped him out a little. Would love to get him down here sometime, but have no idea how to get in touch. He seems to have retreated from the internet entirely.
Oh yeah - also been borrowing the trades of Locke and Key from a buddy, and quite like it.
I've not really followed much in the big 2 for years. Or nothing that involves capes, anyway. Some Vertigo stuff. Was reading House of Mystery - Matt Sturges lives in Round Rock and is kind of a friend - but have sort of lost track of it. Great writing though.
Northlanders is pretty kickass, imo. Fucking Vikings, man!
always dig anything in the Hellboy universe, BRPD, etc.
yeah. the geek fests tend to erupt when i'm around.
LOVE Bru's stuff. his DD and Cap were/are spectacular, and his and Fraction's Iron Fist is one of my favorite books ever. and ever since Sleeper, i get tingly whenever he and Sean Phillips are working together on anything.
still into the big two on superhero books, though moreso Marvel than DC (especially these days). but yeah, i love Vertigo and Icon from the big two (Criminal, obviously, but Powers, Casanova and Kick Ass too) and more indie small press stuff too. just getting into Morning Glories, which is amazing. i've dug what i've read from Sturges on Vertigo, though haven't tried House of Mystery yet. Jack of Fables was beautifully absurd and meta, though. been meaning to try Locke and Key. dug the FCBD issue they put out, so i'm gonna give that a try at some point. and YES, i love Hellboy! i've been picking it and BPRD up in trade, though, and got WAY behind so i have no idea what's been going on. need to just go on a splurge and pick up all the volumes i've missed and marathon my way through them.
