Recommend me some comic books please?

Question

Last year I took quite the liking to comic books. However, since last fall due to studies and personal life issues I kind of lingered away from that small hobby of mine. However, with personal issues somewhat resolved and my required time for studies slowly decreasing, I think I'm going to soon have the time to get back into comic books.

Some comic books I've enjoyed in the past are:

Deadpool
Ultimate X Men
Ultimate Spiderman
Watchmen
The Long Halloween
V For Vendetta
Arkham Asylum

I tried getting into No Man's Land and Witchblade to, but they just couldn't hold my interest. I also foolishly tried Ultimatum, which I think was the last thing I read. I think it killed my interest in comics a little...

I've decided that I kind of want to start fresh with a new series. New characters, a new plot etc. So I'm not particularly interested in anything to do with Batman, X Men or Spiderman - Unless if there's something super awesome that I HAVE to read.

It can be Marvel, DC, Darkhorse whatever. I'm open to all kinds of suggestions. To be honest, I'd quite like to check some Ironman comic books out, but I'm not sure where to start. The reason I started reading Ultimate Marvel was because I couldn't wrap my head around the jaw droppingly huge Marvel 616 universe. I apologise for I am only a scrub in the diverse world of comic books.

But if you have any suggestions for keeping my interest in comic books, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading :)

I would recommend:

The Walking Dead (Image)

Iron Man (Marvel): Extremis - In my opinion, this is the best starting point for the current Iron Man. It starts just before the Marvel Civil War story, so there are several trades to get you caught up to the new issues.

Kingdom Come (DC)

Both Superman and Wonder Woman have issue #700 coming out with a new creative team. It may be a going jumping on point.

Answer 2

Haunt (Image). He's kind of an anti-hero. It's only on issue # 7 created by Todd Mcfarlane (Spawn and Spiderman)



Brightest Day (DC) its the follow-up to Blackest Night and it's only on issue # 2 so it would be really easy to get into.



I'd recommend more, but I'm still new at this. I just ordered Azrael 1, 2, and 3, but having not read it I can't really recommend it. But it looks cool.



Best of luck
