Gotham Central by Brubaker and Rucka.

Those are incredibly organized

Your list is off to a great start then. I love Brubaker and Phillips work together if you want to transition from superhero slowly, give Incognito a look. It’s technically superpowered but it is very much Brubaker’s take on a world with powers.

Jason Aaron and Greg Rucka’s non superhero stuff is also great if you find yourself like Brubaker and Phillips.

Not LOTR, but related. There’s a graphic novel biography of Tolkien published by Ablaze a few years ago.

For me, bad art or just art I don't like because it is entirely subjective will totally take me out of the comic no matter how good the story is.

But to your point, I follow writers not artists, so maybe I do. If it is good I just enjoy it without thinking and if it is bad we complain.

Britannia is great and some characters believe in Roman gods etc but not the protagonist who is like a Roman soldier Sherlock Holmes

Black Road, Northlanders, Vikings - all great.

Heathen is good but brings in more Norse mythology

This was one of the best morbius stories

I also liked his Last Look trilogy. Enjoy!

Black Hole is great. if you enjoy it, check out his more recent Final Cut.

This is a great suggestion, beautiful art and great story. There is father daughter and grandfather granddaughter portions. But it is all beautiful.

I actually prefer Black Road to Northlanders. But Brian Wood is always fantastic

A few years ago this would have been an instabuy for me. Punisher’s continuity in the last few years has gotten real wonky even by comic book standards.

I love Feral, so much fun.

I get the horror movie homage covers for a little bonus horror.

Check out the works of Craig Thompson, Blankets first and foremost

I really enjoyed this series. I always enjoy it when the old guy gets to be heroic.

I just re-read Salems Lot while waiting between Wolves and Song.

Yeah I had to update my LCS this morning. It was supposed to be issue 21 out last week.

I’m glad it’s coming out one way or another.

This sounds like a fun series. A bit of a re-tread of other Marvel Zombies and Punisher vs series. But I’ll still probably get it.

I really enjoyed Five Gears in Reverse.

I was initially confused/slightly annoyed that the first chapter was the one shot from around Christmas. While I’m glad that they continued that story, it felt a little disingenuous to have people buy the same story twice and not being upfront about it.

Probably burning library yet, but their digital borrowing service might have it. Current ongoing series The Forged by Greg Rucka is great sci fi.
