Quote:Actually, I think that I can say that the American equivalent of 2000 AD is 2000 AD. Those of us who are interested in that level of fiction generally spring for it. Unfortunately it's a weekly that runs about $4 American per issue. Expensive.
Then, there is the question as to whether 2000 AD exists in WW, as that is just about the only "boys" comic left in the UK, with Eagle and it's star Dan Dare, long gone, with his Britain in space semi-utopian world
Although a cae could be made for anything written by Bendis ("Powers"), Busiek ("Astro City," "Arrowsmith"), or Winick ("Exiles," "Outsiders"). Good writing in those.
Those who like superhero fiction may want to check out Path of the Just, by Guardians of Order. It's a collection of short stories based off of their Silver Age Sentinels RPG. Writers include Ed Greenwood and John Ostrander. Not a bad collection, in my opinion, but it does help if you know the SAS game world.
