My Top Five List of Alternative Comics To Read

In a post I wrote last week about ” Comic Super­hero Sto­ries becom­ing too pre­dictable ” I had stated my dis­il­lu­sion with what I have been read­ing lately in what are becom­ing just the same old fla­vor of the month in super hero comics.…and after writ­ing that post I decided to start look­ing at some alter­na­tives to the same old super­hero comic for­mula and here is what I present to you in a top five list of Comics, that I am post­ing over sev­eral days this week…

I have read and totally enjoyed this lit­tle tale, so I have linked the book to amazon.com, and I highly rec­om­mend this book if you feel the same way I do and want to read some­thing different…

Wanted

by writer Mark Mil­lar and art by J.G. Jones

I picked up this title sev­eral weeks ago, and finally got the chance to finally read it and all I can say is .….WOWWWW!!!!!!!

This is exactly the type of oppo­site for­mula in a comic char­ac­ter ensem­ble, that I had been look­ing for. This is a totally dif­fer­ent world than the aver­age hero world we are used to and why…because the BAD GUYS have actu­ally won, and that just seems to ring true for this tale.

Your name is Wes­ley Gib­son, and your life totally sucks!

You work in a cubi­cle, in a dead end job, tak­ing crap from an African Amer­i­can Female Boss.

Walk­ing home from your job dur­ing the week is usu­ally a trial of fire due to your con­stant abuse from the neigh­bor­hood ass***es

And the cap­per of your mis­er­able exis­tence is the fact that your girl­friend and your best friend are hav­ing sex together behind your back, while you pre­tend to not know a thing about any of it!

Your name is Wes­ley Gib­son, your life sucks.…but in one defin­ing rol­lar­coaster of a moment…all of that is about to change forever!

With­out say­ing too much more about the story ( because I want you to read it for your­self! ) this was the wild ride of a book that I didn’t expect, and this is going to be a movie, out in the­atres this year star­ing James McAvoy, Mor­gan Free­man, and Angelina Joli.
