[joe petree]

yeah, there's lots of specific ones in there

for instance, Invincible, which has already been mentioned and I'll second for you, it the first entry if you click the link and scroll down

Specific for you, I don't know where to begin. You give a list of what you own, but don't say which ones you liked and which you didn't and for what reasons, and what sort of books you might like to branch out to. So there aren't really any specifics to give, except for all-around good books, which the Official Recommendations Thread is full of

I wouldent spend it on comics.this coming from a guy who spent that much on a pair of hulk roller skates.lots more you can do with that.Keeping with the thread id say wanted,invincible,the walking dead,the nighthawk mini and some nice collections like the essentials,golden age kirby stuff is always good for the soul,still though that leaves you with alot of cash.Heres what id do,Id get what i mentioned,pick up a few more that youve never heard of and see where it goes,the rest you take to get somthing good to eat at a non chain resturant and hang out and read.if you have a car buy somthing for it,id recommend a nave system or mabey just go get an ipod.

Ok, then you're a pretty strictly superhero guy. People are recommending Preacher, Walking Dead, 300, etc. These are all INCREDIBLE titles, but they may not be your thing, at least not until you're curious about branching out into non-superhero books with a more adult-oriented styling to them.

Let's see, if you enjoy Nightwing, Robin, and Batman, you'll love the most recent Green Arrow series (at least, everything Phil Hester drew)


>>-GREEN ARROW->

If you’re looking for a great DC Superhero book to get into, Green Arrow is the place to be. The book succeeds especially because it’s not really tied into anything else in the DCU, so it stands on it’s own and you don’t have to pick up any other books to get it. Plus, Ollie is just such a great character.

I’ve always felt Green Arrow was the Daredevil of the DCU: Both characters fly under the radar that superstar characters like Spider-Man and Batman and such exist on. Consequently, creators are given greater freedom to do more interesting things with them.

I suggest starting with vol 1 of the current series, but there’re some other good books from the past I’ll mention, too.

Here’s what you need to know: Oliver Queen was a wealthy industrialist who decided to fight crime after an experience that led him to survive on his own. He funded the Justice League when it first began, and eventually became best friends with Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, who later turned evil and eventually became the all-powerful Spectre. As a younger hero, Green Arrow took a ward, Roy Harper, who took the name Speedy, and eventually grew up and called himself Arsenal. He now leads the Outsiders. Recently, a young man named Conner Hawke came forward and revealed he was Ollie’s unknown son. He’d spent time in a Buddhist temple and is one of the top martial artists on earth in addition to being as skilled with a bow as his father. Ollie has also had an on-again-off-again romance with Dinah Lance, the Black Canary, for years.

Ollie died trying to disarm a bomb on a plane. He failed, and died right in front of Superman. Now we start…

Vol 1 Quiver. Oliver Queen is back from the dead. Or is he? Kevin Smith writes the relaunch of the character and does it right. A lot of great things in this volume that will make you love the character, but I don’t want to give too much away

Vol 2 Sounds of Violence. Kevin Smith continues his run with an arc concerning a particularly peculiar villain named Onomatopoeia who has a fetish for killing costumed heroes

Vol 3 The Archers Quest. New York Times Best-selling author Brad Meltzer (of later Identity Crisis fame) makes his comic writing debut in a volume that sees Green Arrow taking a road trip with his former ward, Arsenal, in a quest to pick up the pieces of Ollie’s life he left behind when he died. The ending will have you in tears.

all three of the volumes mentioned so far feature gorgeous covers by Matt Wagner and interior art by Phil Hester and Ande Parks

the books got some of the best dynamics and constistently good story telling of anything from the past 5 years

Eitherway, at most you should spend 100 tops on comics. Save that remaining 400.
