No big deal.

By the way, did anybody here read Torpedo (a.k.a. Torpedo 1936) written by Enrique Sánchez Abulí?
It originally came out back in the (really) early 1980s, but IDW released new collections of it more recently (like in the past few years).

Dan Jolley's BLOODHOUND Brass knuckle psychology: A supervillain turned bounty hunter, very well written and little known as far as I know. Makes me wish there'd be more from Jolley to read at the moment

I'm aware of it existing but haven't read it and didn't know it was still in print. Didn't Alex Toth do some art for it early on?

It's a few years old now but Blue Estate from Image was really good.

I'm also a huge fan of The Fuse, which is a mix of crime and science fiction.

From what I've read, Toth did artwork early on, but wasn't happy with the writer's direction (or something like that), so Jordi Bernet started artwork after that.
The Toth-drawn stuff is in Volume 1 of the tpb collection.

Seconded.

(Book 3 apparently scheduled for May 4th)

Another past run to consider might be Matt Wagner's Grendel



Though it may be a bit too "superhero"-y for some tastes.

This is true. Toth didn't draw much, but Bernet is great.

What about Thief of Thieves? First arc was alright but could have been better. Then the writer changed iirc. Did it get better?

[matt levin]

I've been enjoying Thieves right along; sometimes more than other times, but over-all, very much so.

Based on the recommendations here, and the fact that I love Darwin Cooke's artwork, I picked up Brubaker's Catwoman, Vol. 1: Trail of the Catwoman and it was amazing. I should have picked it up years ago.

Brubaker's Catwoman and Gotham Central are his best work at DC glad you like it, too. This thread has amazing recommendations so far. I gave up on Bru's VELVET but have to get the trades as soon as possible.
