I like comic books.

And you should too. Right now the two major comic publishers (DC and Marvel) are putting out some of the best written and drawn books in the history of comic books. The only real problem is that everyone feels the need to be in the middle of huge meta events so the books aren't very new reader friendly. Oh well.

In my opinion the very best writer out there right now is a Scotsman named Grant Morrison. He is the master of magical realism with a dash of drugs. Right now he is almost exclusively with DC. He has been writing some of their major events like 52 and Seven Soldiers.  If you want to read some of his best work I would suggest picking up

The Filth

Grant Morrison

The Invisibles Vol. 1: Say You Want a Revolution

Grant Morrison

Both really excellent books.
