Shameless Plug: Robert Kirkman

Robert Kirkman is possibly the biggest name in comics right now. Three hit books and more than a few projects on the way. Hell he even signed a deal to have his comic The Walking Dead turned into a TV show alongside Frank Darabont (thats right, The Shawshank Redemption directior). So, to say that Kirkman needs my plus is a stretch, but he sure as hell deserves its.
Invincible is the story of Mark Grayson, son of the superhero Omni-Man. The story surpassed every expectation I had for it, again, I do not want to give away any story here. But watching this story evolve is the most fun and every time you think there is even a hint of boredom it picks up and goes in a completly new and badass direction





The Walking Dead follows Rick Grimes an ex-cop who was put into a coma after being shot on patrol and upon waking up finds the world has been over run by zombies. The especially cool thing about this book is it doesn't really focus as much on the zombies as opposed to how humans are dealing with their situations.... And I don't mean humanity, the world isn't your concern. Rick, his friends, and his family are the only people you find yourself caring about in this book.


Those are easily the two biggest books Kirkman has, he has created many other characters and has plenty of other books that are all worth looking into....

Here is his wikipedia page.

And here is a link to his website.

Enjoy,

Suss
