Some of the best reads are from the DU
Hi guys,
Just stopped by to say hello. Like most of you, i love the old forgotten worlds. I love to read and some of the best stories are from the DU.
I'm glad most of you have not forgotten them.
Some of my personal favs :
Badger - First comics - Mike Barron is insane and a fun writer. Badger was my first intro to indie comics ! Great way to start.
Ralph Snart - Now Comics - Mr Lizard is KING !
Warriors of Plasma - Jim Shooter = greatness
Ruse - pretty good reading
PRIME - ultraverse - good stuff
Dinosaurs For Hire - malibu - good dirty marvel hating fun !
Post your favs !

Nice thread dude and very cool to have a new poster in the DU section indeed.
IM madly tied up and havent had a tenth of my normal allotted time to this board and particularly the DU sections.
I will be back in full force for two weeks time or so and with some cool news too.
IN the meantime just briefly i agree with all of the above and will add some more to it in the comig day when i have more than two mins to think.
heres a link to my crazy Du undertaking i started last year i will be adding some serious info to that in the coming month so stay tuned.

I trade as Dead Universe Comics in the UK, which is no surprise to those who know of my legendary Dead Universe habit.

'Breed and 'Breed II from Bravura (Malibu) - more Starlin-y goodness.
Armor vol. 1 from Continuity - fun story out in space with aliens, superpowers and subterfuge. And Go-Go-Gogog.
Hardcase from Ultraverse - fun read, more serious than most of the other Ultraverse titles.
Catalyst: Agents of Change from CGW - mixing superheroes and politics

Dreadstar-Jim Starlin's dark cosmic saga is still a great read even after all these years. Marvel/Epic-Eclipse-First-Bravura/Malibu
Breed-A dark horror/sci-fi/fantasy story that only Jim Starlin can do so well. Malibu/Bravura
Breed II-A great sequel that continues the story. Malibu/Bravura
Wyrd-The Reluctant Warrior-Jim Starlin's political and social satire that was a little a head of it's time. SLG
Cosmic Guard-Starlin takes the orginal Captain Marvel type character and adds a new twist to it. Dynamite
Miracleman-Alan Moore's masterpiece on superheroes is in some ways more complex and more disturbing than Watchmen and is a great read. Neil Gaiman had the challenge of following up Moore and shows how great he is as well. Eclipse
Barry Windsor-Smith: Storyteller]-3 different stories by BWS each one is great on itself and each has great characters in it. Dark Horse-Fantagraphics
Deity-Equal parts Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Mortal Kombat, and comic book teen angst. A young girl discovers that she is an heiress to a power that could end a eons long war. Not a great series but a fun and entertaining series. Hyperwerks-Image

A lot of Crossgen tops my favorites list:
Sojourn
Ruse
El Cazador
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I'm working on a lot of the 'Sigil-verse' titles from them, but the production values alone make them worth picking up.
Too bad some of those never made it past 6 issues or so, but they had strong openings and beautiful art!
