Crime Genre comic recommendations?

[batnbreakfast]

Well, I wouldn't necessarily "pales in comparison". It's just that as good as Brubaker's run was, this was still good, but in a different way. (Especially considering what Nocenti had done to the character!)

There was Bullit hommage variant cover for N52 Catwoman a while ago. Genius!

[Vaughn Doom]

I can personally recommend Velvet and Fatale. Both of them were fantastic. If Brubaker's other work is up to par with those books then I would recommend those as well. He fits in to the crime genre damn well

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Adding my voice to the chorus of:

-Brubaker/Phillips on most anything
-Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis
-Gotham Central

Adding:

Ennis & Craig Cermak's Red Team (new series out soon)
Hitman by Ennis & John McCrea (much odder & more humorous than G.C.; and not so much a police procedural as a Breaking Bad/Sons Of Anarchy-type narrative)

I only read the first issue, but this is pretty funny. First issue is basically this girl discovering she can stop time when she orgasms. She eventually meets a guy that can do the same. When they find out, they have sex and start robbing places when time stops. Madness, pure madness!

That was the variant cover for DC's movie poster variant month.

There were some other good ones, too, like for Batgirl.
(And considering what happened in the news recently, . . . )

Holy crap, those images are huge. What is the Batgirl cover a homage to?

Anything with Ed Brubaker's name on it.

Scalped and Southern Bastards by Jason Aaron

By the way, I've only read one issue of it, but what do people think of Greg Rucka's Stumptown (published by Oni Press)?

Loved the first two volumes, but I want a fan of Greenwood's art so I stopped in the third volume. It's good stuff, though.

Prince 'Purple Rain'.

Prince 'Purple Rain'.

And, just because I also found it,

Definitely the best themed variant month DC has had.

lol I'm 25, MajorHoy

Shaft from Dynamite is really good. I can't believe I didn't mention it before

[MajorHoy]

But, how old are your parents?
(And am I younger or older than them?)

And, for the record, the movie Purple Rain came out in 1984, which would be 32 years ago. (But there are some theaters across the country re-releasing the movie now.)

Speaking of records, I would have thought you might have seen the album/CD for the movie. Oh, well.

[Bukdiah]

Ah, just was never really my kind of music. You are a lil' bit older than my parents.
