# Huzzah for lesbianness!
It would be quite amusing to see some bears 'lez it up' somehow

# Have you ever read The Authority?
I imagine you would like that somehow.

There's a gay superhero couple in that, one of whom is massive bastard. Plus they are just great comics generally because the superheroes burst people's heads open and stuff.

# is Massive Bastard his superhero name?

# Sadly not, it's The Midnighter, though he is informally called the massive bastard.
There's also a special with a bloke called Kev, who is just some ex army bloke who seems to get tied up with the gay one whilst being really homophobic and shitting in people's guinnesses.

# There are many comics I would like to read.
That's one of them, another is The Invisibles and I've seen the movie, but I'd like to read Sin City properly, I only got to brief through it for a project =( need to buy.

# 1 and 2, which are the only finished volumes, and the Kev specials wouldn't take that long to read.
Transmetropolitan is also a must read realistically, though that has a lot more issues.

# I shall try to get hold of them.
But in the mean time I think sleep is a good idea.

# Uh, Midnighter and the Superman type guy?
I'd like to.

I've been reading a bit of Avengers recently. I don't usually buy comics, but I have, and I want to read the whole Civil War storyline.

Edit: *googled* I'm right on the Midnighter name, woop, and the right series there. Good good, glad to know I have knowlege.

# Don't bother.
The Civil War event, or whatever they call them, was the most poorly written thinly veiled Bush era crap I have ever been exposed to. Read the Marvel Zombies ones instead, they are at least amusing and without ridiculous amounts of pointless crossovers.

# Kay =)
I also enjoy deadpool.

Do you know how the X-men are doing? I'm not so interested in reading about Scott, Logan and Rogue angsting themselves around the place, but I do like the X-men.

Also I'm not sure what DC would be a good one to read.

When it comes out though, I want to buy the Batman R.I.P. collection. I've got a badge with I think Hush with "I AM BATMAN" written on it.

# I don't know, I tend not to touch the marvel, dc or long syndicated character comics with multiple writers unless there is a particular good issue/thing.
Mainly because the whole different characters and worlds being crowbarred into each other, and the fact that they continue to go on without any particular drive or story to tell.

That's why I tend to stick to the V for Vendetta kind of novel comics which tell a story and then end.

"Did you ever want to set someone's head on fire, just to see what it looked like? Did you ever stand in the street and think to yourself, I could make that nun go blind just by giving her a kiss? Did you ever lay out plans for stitching babies and stray cats into a Perfect New Human? Did you ever stand naked surrounded by people who want your gleaming sperm, squirting frankincense, soma and testosterone from every pore? If so, then you're the bastard who stole my drugs Friday night. And I'll find you. Oh, yes." - God I love Transmetropolitan

# Ahaha. That is awesome.
I must list these all up.

Read the Batman RIP comics as well after reading that they were apparantly amazingly written and a great end. Balls they were.

Batman & Dracula is a great and short three part comic which shows Batman's inevitable mental instability and fall.

"The future is an inherently good thing, and we move into it one winter at a time. Things get better one winter at a time. So if you're going to celebrate something, then have a drink on this: the world is, generally and on balance, a better place to live this year than it was last year. For instance, I didn't have this gun last year." - Transmet again
