Hi guys,

So, I've worked my way through Batman Hush!, Marvels Civil War Series, and I am about halfway through the Infinity Gauntlet books (wanted to learn more about Thanos before the next Avengers movie!)

So, the question is, what would you all recommend I pick up next? I'm leaning towards Y: The Last Man, or maybe finally getting around to reading Scott Pilgrim, but I'm still not sure about that one.

Are there any other great series, or just good X-Men, Avengers, Batman, Wolverine etc series you'd recommend adding to my wanted list?

    Saga is pretty awesome, but there's not much out yet.

    V for Vendetta is a classic. Books of Magic and Sandman are pretty awesome... unless you're going more for superhero type stuff.

    I really enjoyed Scott Pilgrim.

    Have you read Frank Miller's Batman? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Knight_Returns I have a hunch it's gonna be pretty similar to the new Bats vs. Supes movie.

    Sandman!!
    Preacher
    Locke and Key
    Saga
    Walking dead (the story is different enough from the show that I think you would still like it)
    Fables
    Really anything by Ennis, Ellis, Brian Wood, Brian K Vaughn, Moore...
    I'm personally really excited about FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics when the trade comes out at the end of Feb.

    Transmetropolitan
    Chew
    Preacher
    The Boys
    Saga
    Hitman
    Blood Brothers (if they ever release another issue!)

    Everyone swears I'll love Cross, but I have to finish Chew before I pick up another series.
