Let me know what you think, klint. I hope you like it as much as I have. If you're looking to get back into the comics loop, I would also recommend
Runaways (a new twist on the teen team up books - the interdynamics of the members make this book worthwhile),
Ex Machina (NYC politics with a slight superhero twist) and
Y: The Last Man (yeah, I'm a Brian K. Vaughan fan). But in all honesty, his stuff is always entertaining and interesting and in each book the hero/fighting antics take a back seat to characters' relationships.
As for the mainstream capes and tights, both
Batman and
'Tec have been excellent since Crisis part deux ended - the best its been since
Bruce Wayne: Murderer (not
Fugitive which is when it started to go downhill...again).
The Ultimates,
Astonishing X-Men (available in TPB) and
Birds of Prey (some story arcs are also available in trade);
Young Avengers and
Squadron Supreme (the JLA on crack - a little slow paced, but totally worth it and Gary Frank's art is real purdy) are all also excellent reads. And, of course, there is always Diana.
If you read any of these, let me know that too - it'd be cool to chat about 'em...
