  i just started reading "rising stars" by jms, so far it's real nice
  
  a must buy when it comes to comics is neil gaimans "the sandman" (you'll find the ten volumes at "Comics Hutterer" which should be your first place to stop for comics anyway ;) they might not be cheap but they are well worth it)

  Landstraßer Haupstr. 126 A-1030 Wien, their main store. best advice is to make friends with someone that works there and you get stuff cheaper ;)

  it's still a good store but lately i prefer the [URL=http://www.damage-town.com]Damage Unlimited[/URL] more (miniatures for painting, rpg stuff and tons of good books.. wonderful combo :) )

  Hellblazer is an old favourite. Slaine is also good. And Transformers (Gen. 1) is a must read for anyone (Not the british one though).

  Let's see.. Comics one should get..
  
  Hellblazer, yea. definitely. John Constantine.. there's just something about the guy. :)
  
  And Sandman comics too. There were some good spinoffs too. One about Cain and Abel searching for Goldie. I read that in the army.. wish I'd still remember the name of the tpb.. would like to get it. Those two were always my favorites. After Corinthian ofcourse.. There's just something about that chap. Love his shiny smile for one. :D
  
  Lots of good comics in the army library btw. One that I recommend was Watchmen. A definite must. It's as good as a good book. :)
  
  There was also some weird comic where earth was being invaded by aliens (controlled/run by Morgana(?)/evil sister of King Arthur) and then King Arthur comes back and the knights of the round table unite again as their new incarnations.
  
  So.. what else? Frank Miller's Ronin was interesting too.
  
  Well. All those are great stories, just as long you dont mind downbeat and cynical and pretty depressing storylines. :D

  I get the Futurama issues and have just started the new SG-1 comic to see what it is like.
  
  One series that has caught my eye is the Emma Frost series, they are onto their second mini series, the first was called Higher Learning, and this newer one is called Mind Games. It's all to do with the origin of the White Queen.
  
  Of course, im my mind its hard to beat the Trigan Empire. :)

  So far the SG-1 issues seem a bit disjointed in parts, but I'm willing to give it a chance with it being a new series and see how it turns out. The characters don't look like the actors exactly, but thats not a problem as I remember when reading one of the Battlestar Galactica comics (either Maximum Press or the far superior Realm Press) that there was the same problem and that this is due to some sort of licencing deal that is usual with series that have a real persons image.
