Captain Marvel? DC kind of wrecked he and Mary Marvel in the last years.
Thankfully there are decades worth of material to choose from.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Just watched the 2010 short, Superman, Shazam and the Return of Black Adam. It was a nice Captain Marvel origin story.

Can Ide or any of you guys recommend any particular run of his to read?

There's a Starman/Power of Shazam crossover from the 1990s that isn't really that great, but does have one great book in it, where Captain Marvel comes to Opal City and is forced by circumstance to beat the ever-loving shit out of Jack Knight.  Fantastic Tony Harris art.

Looked at a page from that Starlord/Kitty Pryde book.  Good grief, contemporary comics can be ugly, can't they?

as a DC product he really has only been around from 72-78, then rift after crisis mid 80's and then early 90's stuff.

Nope, at least not this example

Meh.  I didn't like the layouts.  The linework is maybe functional.  Coloring isn't technically bad, although it's not attractive.  Also you can see the deadline-driven compromises.

I like Garth Ennis's writing, and Steve Dillon's art, and Preacher is one of my favorite comic books ever - Cassidy's character arc is simply awesome.

And while I've read and liked Ennis's 2004 run on Punisher for some reason I've not read his collaboration with Steve Dillon on the subject starting in 2000.

I'm mostly reading it on the subway on my phone, and three issues in I'm getting rather worried that fellow travelers think I'm crazy because I keep grinning and laughing all the time. :blush:

Comics can be so ridiculous, I have no idea if this cover is real or not.

EDIT: Wait, these are marvel properties, so fake.

The Starfire book that came out last year is amazing. A much needed reboot from the New 52 atrocity. She's like an adorable older version of the Starfire from the classic Teen Titans cartoon.
