I have an Amazon gift card that i think i am gonna use on Kindle comics. Suggestions?

Don't know what kindle has, but I recommend Planet Hulk by Greg Pak if available. Very cool story.

thanks! I'm definitely looking for suggestions of specific books. Planet Hulk is indeed on Kindle (I mean, it's Amazon ebooks... they have everything). It's a little pricey but I'll keep my eye on it. Apparently that series was made into the animated film?

I should say I'm looking for suggestions of books that y'all think a guy who hasn't really read comics in 20 years should read.

Like, I feel like I should read Killing Joke; Ack says I should read Watchmen... I should have mentioned it doesn't *have* to be Marvel. Though I am definitely *more* interested in Marvel stuff than non-Marvel stuff right now.

Oh! I think the Batman/TMNT book is coming out in compiled form this month. I am interested in that.

Also, I'm tempted to start reading Civil War II just because it would be kind of exciting to keep up w/ a new series in progress. So, would that be a bad idea if I've only read (half of) issue #1 of Civil War?

Screw that. Instead read the best Marvel book of the 2000s, Nextwave.

^I've never heard of that. Is that seriously the cover, or a joke? Cuz it's kind of brilliant haha.

That was one of the covers. One of the issues also had a variant version that was a coloring book. Nextwave is Marvel making fun of itself.

Yes. Planet Hulk the comic book was made into an animated direct-to-dvd movie. The animated version does a respectable job of staying relatively close to the source material with only a handful of changes.

actually Volume 1 is on Kindle for $5.50 which is pretty good. It's the first 6 issues I believe.

Yeah, that's the first half. It only ran for a year, so all you'll need are issues 1-12. Get ready to learn about killer koalas and Fin Fang Foom's underpants.

Marurun Mentioned Ms. Marvel. I second this recomendation. This comic really expresses what it feels like to be an awkward social outcast teenager who wants to be something bigger.
