For those who have not yet read this series: the best way--as always--is to start from the very first issue. The grows more absorbing as it goes, revealing more exciting and complicated reasons to want to follow a story where, in a zombie-infested apocalyptic hell, the few surviving humans somehow prove with increasingly horrific means that they are, truly, more monstrous than the undead. As an IGN reviewer avers, "If there is better, more consistently thoughtful character work going on anywhere in mainstream comics, I'd like to see it. Kirkman is a master at peeling away layers of a character's psyche, and Charlie Adlard has the expressive chops to convey those complex emotions." It consistently remains the best ongoing comic series today. For ages 16 up.

Indeed comics reviewers have been regularly giving each new issue ratings from "Very Good" to "Outstanding". In the case of IGN, an Editor's Choice Award is the norm rather than the exception. Following IGN's ratings system, I'd give the entire series an "Incredible" 9.8 out of 10. . Apparently from the general acclaim, a whole lot of people think so, too.

is an American creator-owned comic book series, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson, set in a contemporary world very much similar to the real one, with one notable exception: a number of people have some form of superpower. The series follows a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", whose job it is to keep watch on superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or kill them. The first six issues were published by Wildstorm, starting in 2006. On January 24, 2007, the series was abruptly canceled with issue 6. DC (of which Wildstorm is an imprint) was allegedly uneasy with the anti-superhero tone of the work. In February 2007 the series was picked up by Dynamite Entertainment and it resumed in May of that year. The current issue #49 which is part of the arc entitled "Proper Preparation and Planning", is setting up a change within the Boys and their opposing group known as the Seven definitely leading to a fateful confrontation in the upcoming landmark issue #50. Typical of Ennis' work, violent and explicit yet with subtexts of his opinions on just about anything, from comic books to fanboys' preoccupation with them. In other words, terrific. Mature Readers only. HQ Minutemen scans from issue #36 to the current issue #49.

was a three-issue horror comic book mini-series written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith and published by IDW Publishing in 2002. All three parties co-own the property. The series takes place in Barrow, Alaska, so far north that during the winter the sun does not rise for 67 days. Vampires, being vulnerable to sunlight, discover and then flocked to Barrow to take advantage of the prolonged darkness to feast upon the town's inhabitants. Initially an unsuccessful film pitch, the series became a breakout success story for Steve Niles, whose previous works had received relatively little attention. It was also the first full-length work by co-creator Ben Templesmith. The series became a surprise hit, revitalized the horror comics genre and jump-started the careers of writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith and has been followed by numerous sequel series, all of which, including extras, are included in this compilation.

is a ongoing comic book series written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by R. M. Guéra, published monthly by Vertigo Comics. Issue #1 was published on January 3, 2007. Right away the series' style can fairly be described as a fusion of film noir and western elements in a modern setting concerning organized crime on the (fictional) Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It is a no-holds-barred tale about past mistakes, bold moves, and a proud people brought low by lies, violence, and corrupt men and women. The artist, R. M. Guéra, uses the colour brown predominantly, with blue and green monotones to emphasize starkness and aiming for a gritty, grimy, sleazy look. Shadows, the desert and the glaring sun are used to emphasize a sort of stifling atmosphere. Aaron for his part intersperses many allusions to noir prose authors and to the western genre in the names of his characters and in his titles, in a sort of pop homage. Graphic and violent, yet among the most consistently good titles of Vertigo. Never to shy away from a controversial topic, Scalped's issue #39 tackles unwanted pregnancies in a new story arc, "Unwanted." It received great reviews from all over.

The Walking Dead is an American monthly black and white comic published by Image Comics beginning in 2003. The comic was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore (replaced by Charlie Adlard from issue #7 onward) and chronicles the travels of a group of people trying to survive in a world stricken by a zombie apocalypse. IMHO the best among all the current comic book series ongoing.
