Favorite Character Without Their Own Series?

Dread, you should check out Requiem before dismissing the surfer's personality. Something like that would be all sorts of badass. "I regret nothing" -Norrin Radd

I've picked that trade up about 5 times before putting it back. One of these days I'm actually going to buy it. That along with Spider-Man: Reign.

What other titles were there like that?

Get both of those along with Loki and you'll be set. Really interesting character pieces all around. Some of my all time favorite graphic novels. Reign you'll either love (like me) or hate (cause of the DKR comparisons). Requiem, I never met anyone that's read it and didn't love every issue. Loki, Corp recommended to me, and that was surprisingly brilliant and touching (at the end you'll know why I sympathize with him and why odin's such a massive dick).

You know, I read Loki once when it first came out but I wasn't into Thor and found myself not caring. Now that I do like Thor and all that, I would probably really enjoy it, and I don't remember a single scene from the book. I'll have to look into it. Is it in continuity or an alternate tale like the other two books mentioned?

And was that Namor mini that just came out an alternate tale as well?

It is and it isn't in a fashion. The book is an alternate reality loki but he views all the realities to find a way to escape his fate (forever being the bad guy) which includes the 616 as well as the actual myths (which I throughly enjoyed). The ending's sad as hell.

I'm not sure about the depths. It could and couldn't be because the story wouldn't really effect things either way. The Depths though is very different with the character study being more about the ocean itself than namor.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Interesting.

And I knew there was another one I was curious about. It was Captain America: The Chosen.

* X-Men: The End (a trilogy of miniseries, 18 issues in all)

Written by Chris Claremont. Did anyone else think it was fitting that he wrote a "The End.." series that seemingly never ended?

 

[moraldeficiency]

Oh I don't think anything claremont's done with the x-men has been fitting for quite a while now.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I actually kinda liked X-Men: The End because it wasn't a continuity piece.
