If you could pick a Dialed hero for solo series...

Talking about Dial H of course. Which dial would excite you most to have his own long running series.

For me it's Iron Snail.



He is just plain awesome.

I'm not sure, but HERO from 2003 is one excellent series. Can't say the same about the new 52 book

I can. I was bummed as hell when the New 52 Dial-H was cancelled. Such an amazing, unpredictable book. Loved it.

Seconded.

The writer on that series is an amazing author, outside of comics. Have you ever read any of his books? Highly recommended, he has a very bizarre patchwork imagination, and he effortlessly fuses multiple abstract, strange & familiar themes & ideas together.

I tried to like this comic because he was on it, but it just didn't hold me.

I haven't actually. I admit that I don't actually read much in the fiction realm outside of comics and specific authors (Douglas Adams, Philip K Dick, etc.) If you have a specific book to recommend though, I'll gladly check it out.

Perdido Street Station is a great place to start, it's excellent. First of a trilogy of books set in the same world but none of them are connected stories. It's so bizarre, I don't even know where to start describing it to hook your interest. There is magic & technology mixed together in a kind of steampunk Victorian setting. There are humans living alongside humanoid birds & a race of people who have beetle heads - not just a head shaped like the head of a beetle, but an entire beetle body for a head, attached to a humanoid body.

Actually, here is the Wikipedia entry for it.

Does a lot of his politics show up in his books?

I've only read Perdido Street Station & The Scar, and its been a few years since I did, but I would not say I felt overwhelmed by a political slant being preached at me, no. Those two novels are incredibly imaginative. The technology of the 'Possibility Sword' in The Scar is still an astoundingly cool idea. I still need to get around to reading The Iron Council, which is the third book set in the same world of Bas-Lag - though none of the books are truly interconnected at all.
