Scott Pilgrim, the comic (and afterwards the movie, because that is also great). It's all about relationships and how they define you but shouldn't. It's cathartic, in a way.

50 years' worth of stories...by the time you finish them all, you'll have forgotten your ex's name.

Of course, these things totally depend on the person but what's worked for a lot of folks I know is to find something that makes them laugh and is more absurd than their woes. So Community has been a successful recommendation. It emphasizes the importance of friendship and, even at its lowest, it can pick up the…

I vote for the Brief Lives arc of The Sandman. It's thematically relevant, emotionally robust with great depth and ambition, and engaging art. It's fairly well-self-contained, and you can skim it or go over it again and again for years and find something new within it, if you need to.

There's a fair bit of romance, but there's also Buffy sending a guy to a hell dimension after he broke her heart. Someone actually pretty much did say "here, watch this" after a bad breakup and it got me through it; when that person went through her own, we watched Buffy together too. But I'd forgotten the association…

M&C

It's set up for a sequel already! Seriously, if Del Toro and Mignola want a closure to the series, they'd better get to it before Ron Perlman is even too old to play the titular character.

Bonus rage points because you posted art traced by Greg Land.

She actually wears pants currently believe it or not.

That's Mascot Unit 6-22 (6 is for the guard series of automated mascots) and when it was time to shut down all of the units, it kind of decided to alter programing and managed to route battery power through the arm framework and shock anyone who tried. It now walks the lonely vigil, defending the only solar charging…

Lieutenant Dangle

90's Fantastic Four

A few things in error in this text (though thanks for writing it!):
1) Loki and Thor were not and never were blood brothers (though they were friends at times, as in the Lay of Thrym). Loki and Odin were, however, blood brothers, which also explains why Odin couldn't/wouldn't kill Loki's children (e.g. Fenrir). Loki…

This is all spoilers from the comics, so be warned.

Didn't the Winter Soldier perform a number of key assassinations over the years in the comic storyline, which could - from a certain point of view, say that of Redford's character - be considered shaping the 20th Century?

Maybe the Winter Soldier is kinda like the Comedian from Watchmen in this movie.

Your response suggests that you haven't read the "Winter Soldier" source material, in which case I am so freakin' jealous because it's an amazing story and you're gonna love it (provided the filmmakers do it justice, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt for the time being.)

And just to get a free sandwich.

Because this Winter Soldier killed Bane while he was speechifying.

I was just making a bad erection joke.
