Okay, let's admit it: I'm a nerd. I'm a librarian, a hot dog enthusiast, and have a regular pull list at my local comics shop. If you understood that last point then I'm sorry to tell you: you're a nerd too . . . .
But you're a nerd in luck, because I've got a couple of ongoing series recommendations for you, so check it out.
Sweet Tooth
Jeff Lemire, author & illustrator
Jeff Lemire, author & illustrator
In this ongoing series from Vertigo, an imprint
of DC Comics, Jeff Lemire takes the Mad Max approach to a genetic apocalypse
for mankind. Horror sweeps the world as
mothers give birth to babies who are a hybrid of human and animal, and death
follows in its wake as men and women alike succumb to the incurable
disease. Sweet Tooth, the title
character, may be the answer to why it is happening. Recommended if you’ve enjoyed Brian K.
Vaughan’s excellent story of a similar genetic apocalypse, Y: The Last Man.
The Invincible
Iron Man
Matt Fraction,
author with Salvador Larroca, artist
High on my list of current favorites, Matt Fraction gives
us the post-Civil War Tony Stark, a man bereft of his company, wealth, friends
and respect; in short, all of the things that made Tony Stark who he is. But there’s one essential Stark element kept
intact—his undefeatable can-do attitude—that provides fuel for the fire as he
seeks to rebuild his empire, take on the enemies who brought him so low, and
create even better technologies for the benefit of mankind. The question remains, however: can Stark
maintain and not self-destruct?
