    Default Next Comic Book Series

    I bought the latest Walking Dead paperback today and should soon be up to date. Does anyone have any suggestions as what series I should read next? I was looking at Sandman, Chew or Sweet Tooth. Any feedback on these series?

    Thank you in advance.

    The only one I have read is Sandman, and I was absolutely blown away by it. My favourite series by far.

    Chew is great.....Scott Pilgrim and Fable are another two of my favorites. Y The Last Man is a lot of fun, too.

    Haven't read them in quite a while, but HellBlazer was my favorite followed by Sandman.

    Invincible is one of the best superhero books I've ever read. Things actually happen and the story progresses. It's always surprising and fun. And violent. It's got two huge (1000 pages) compendiums, and they're very reasonably priced online.

    I'll add another vote to Tony's suggestion of Y The Last Man. Great book, with a nice, complete arc.

    Oh, and the Brian Michael Bendis' run on Daredevil is probably the best comic book story I've ever read. Brilliant writing and gorgeous art by Alex Maleev.

    I'll add a third vote for Y-The Last Man. Pretty intriguing concept, and it's a fantastic read. And like you said, it actually wraps up.

    Might not be exactly what you're looking for but Superman Red Son is a fantastic alternate take on Superman. Basically changes his origin story from beginning in Kansas, to beginning in Russia in a commune. Includes different takes on characters like Batman, Wonder Women, Lex Luthor and others. It's a great read.

    And if you're into Star Wars, check out the Star Wars Legacy series. I guess it's no longer considered canon, but it's still a great series. Run by Dark Horse, and deals with a descendant of Luke Skywalker. You don't need any real information on anything else in the Star Wars universe outside of an understanding of Star Wars haha.
