Martian Style
What light-hearted, fun superhero comics are worth reading?
I’ve been looking for a good comic-book series to read lately, and one of the more recent ones I’ve come across is Invincible, which I found really enjoyable and stayed up for five nights in a row reading all the issues.
The thing I liked about it was that it was light-hearted and laid-back, not unlike the more political and gritty tone to comics these days (not to say the Ultimates wasn’t good). What was better was the fact that it was almost Silver-Age in style, with the most randomest of things happening every issue. (Like a Martian invasion here, an Atlantis marriage there, and psycho zombies all at once)
If any of you know of a good superhero comic that’s interesting, fun, and intelligent and worth your time, feel free to leave an answer.
Ooh, I would highly recommend “Madman” by Mike Allred. It’s got everything you’re looking for in spades! Smart and super-witty writing, awesome pop-artwork, really great characters, tons of laughs…with some deep philosophical undertones, and randomness to boot! Kinda hard to explain, but it’s pop-culture trappings with Silver-Age inspiration. I think you’ll have a blast reading it.
