[quote name='wtfmate']Hey guys/girls I just recently got back into comics ( about two weeks ago
, loved em till I graduated collage 2 years ago and ruined my personal life/time in corporate America) and was wondering if you had any suggestions. Last thing I read was issue 1 & 2 of chew and the same with the walking dead. Big fan of their art styles. I love marvel but I'm afraid I've been out of the game to long to get into anything thats not a bazzilion issues in. Any recommendations on some series that aren't to far along and that have a more grown up feel to em'. Thanks[/QUOTE]
I was in the same boat as you when I first got into comics back in June--I didn't want to jump into a superhero comic that was a few hundred issues in. Anyways, I really like Chew. I'd recommend picking up the trades to catch up. Issue 16 just came out a few weeks ago and that's the start of a new arc.
Otherwise, I really like American Vampire. It's pretty much like all of the current vampire movie/ tv franchises grew some balls and let the vampires be vampires. I think there should be two trades out now that cover 1-9 and #10 just came out a few weeks ago.
A new volume of Proof just began (called Proof:Endangered). It does a pretty good job rehashing the first volume at the end of issue 1. Most of what's on my pull list is from Image (see also Skullkickers, Morning Glories, 27 as well as Chew and the two below).
As far as mini series go, Who is Jake Ellis just came out. It's about a spy that has an invisible guy that helps him. Also interesting is Echoes. It's about a dude who's dad confesses to him on his death bed that he killed a bunch of girls. It's being described as a psychological thriller.
[quote name='Kotomine']Is X-23 mainstream? I found the X-23 and X-23: Target X mini-series' to be very good. Dynamo 5 is pretty good too, it's worth checking out.[/QUOTE]
I'm about to take X-23 off my pull list. The first arc was related to the new Wolverine (goes to hell one, not the best there is) and it just wasn't doing it for me. Plus, it's supposed to have multiple tie-ins later with Daken and other story lines. I'd rather just have it as a stand-alone without having to read multiple other books to be able to follow what's going on.
