Seeking Image Super Hero/Villain Book Recommendations

[TXReplicant]

Where did super heroes/villains with abilities go in comics?

 

I see scary or gory books, westerns, pre and post apocalyptic, crime, futuristic, WW2 meets peter pan, you name it, but none of them have the traditional super hero or villain with abilities.

 

I've always collected specifically Image books since I was a kid to limit spending/collecting from getting out of hand.

 

For example, I'd really like to pick up a Haunt #1 sketch slab, but other than that nothing is on my radar.

 

Can anyone recommend an old school hero/villain with abilities book from Image in the last 20 years that you felt was a good read?

 

Thank you

Invincible all the way

I've had my eye on that one for a few months, but it still commands a decent price tag!

 

Also, high grade copies only show up on Ebay once every month or two.

Just get the hardcovers. They are amazing and such a smooth easy read.

Are you looking for a something to read? Buy the trade to see if you like it before you start dishing out money for a high grade raw #1...

Check out Danger Club

 

Also, I haven't read Sidekick yet, but the first issue just came out last week. Might be worth checking out.

Invincible. For sure. Libraries yo. Some you can check online to see if they carry it. Maybe call to see if they have it. I know one library by me has at least the first oversized HC with the first 12 or 13 issues.

 

It's a very good read.

The Bounce...

You'd probably be better off reading the new Valiant books if you're looking for non big two super hero books. My 2 cents...

[bryan_robson]

If you have not checked it out, invincible all the way. There is no question about it. Best modern super book out there by far IMHO.

Invincible, duh.

 

Dynamo 5 and Noble Causes are no longer, but both were really good.

Super hero isn't really images forte

[THB]

I liked"Randy O'Donell is the man", Firebreather and 1963 (Alan Moore). All fun reads and can be had for cheap. Not cheap but in trades and probably for check out at your local library - Invincible.

Invincible is the answer

[Awax]

Oh yea. Forgot about the book Sex.

 

If you want to read about what happens when a Batman type superhero retires. This book is really good.

I'm a huge advocate of Invincible. I love the hell out of that book. The issue that just came out this week (105 I think?) would make for a good jumping on point.

 

The first issue of Sidekick was decent, IMO. I love JMS though so I'm a bit biased.

 

Hmmm.... Some people like Victories. I thought the first issue was unreadable, but the book is still running so maybe I was quick to judge it. Powers was/is outstanding although not an Image book anymore.

Is that what the book is about? I've been tempted to pick it up, but the first issue jumped in price and it seemed to get lukewarm reviews.
