Not to piggyback off someone else's suggestion, but not only was Brian Azzarello great on Wonder Woman, his 100 Bullets is fantastic. A mysterious man shows up to offer strangers a gun, 100 rounds of untraceable ammunition, and information on the person responsible for ruining their life. They're free to get revenge…

Yes. A thousand yesses to Transmetropolitan.

The cool thing about Fables is it's a real ensemble kind of book, more about the whole community than a specific character, so while I'd recommend reading everything from the start, I've heard from other people it's really easy to skip an arc if you're not enjoying it. Eventually a big, over-arcing plot starts to…

Maybe give Fables a shot? Not sci-fi, but a longshot from the over-mythologized fantasy it could've been. The basic gist is all the well-known folklore characters existed in their own words, which were taken over by a mysterious conqueror, forcing them to take refuge in a secret community in New York City.

Fair enough. Thanks for the recommendations!

Frank Miller on why he hates.

Unfortunately my first exposure to her has been her New 52 work, which I found to be almost unreadable. Her storytelling gets borderline incoherent at times, what with everybody speaking in quips and nobody having any sort of clear motivation. I keep hearing her old stuff was better, I'll have to check it out sometime.

Or the terrible Dashboard Confessional song from Spider-Man 2.

Sometimes the writing is easily shitty enough to destroy good art. For example, everything Ann Nocenti has done for DC recently.

Scott Lobdell on why he hates Le Tigre's entire body of work.

Reporter: "Comic books. They're not just for kids anymore!"

That, plus it's assumed the writer does all the work and tells the artist what to do.

It's still, for the most part, a narrative form, and unfortunately when you bring words into the picture, we tend to focus more on those and less on art.
