they've said this on the show a whole lot, but I'm gonna say it here because it needs to be said:
read checkmate, it is amazing. Start with trades to get a hang of things, then buy issues. Seriously that is all

sorry 'bout that... had to write something quickly before I had to go to class.
Why Checkmate? First off, the writing is really good, and the art isn't half bad either. I also have to agree with what mikegraham6 said, it's an awful lot like 24, except with no Jack Bauer. While there are a handful of "capes," they aren't entirely the focus of them, since the superheroes (Mr. Terrific, Sasha, etc.), really don't have astounding powers. If you absolutely adore superheroes and how they handle things, this may not be the book for you. If you want something not superhero-y, but that isn't entirely based in the real world (like Fell, Queen and Country [I think], etc.) then go for Checkmate. word of warning: the book gets very confusing whenever the UN is involved or the first time you read things. Make use of the cast of characters on the title page of every issue to get aquainted with people/their role in the organization. It may take a bit of getting used to, but it's well worth it if you get passed the initial confusion. (is it obvious that I love this book?)

Hey Guys-
I have never really read a good comic book in my life, and I was wondering: what are some of the best comic books that I should start out on? Thanks- Max
