Another Request!

I'm starting to make a habit of this, LOL. This time I want recs, please! Recs of good comics, of trades, preferably, mainly of Batman and Superman and Justice League titles (I've got nearly all the JSA ones), though I'm willing to try Robin and Nightwing and Batgirl if there are any good ones, which is perhaps showing my ignorance, and thus my need for recs! :p

I want good comics, and try to stay as far away from anything Miller or Miller related as I can, and I also will not read anything that has children and/or major characters dying, since it's my philosophy that if I don't read the comic where they die, they aren't dead to me!

So... has any of that made sense? I'm not sure... But, basically, are there any good comics that you think I will like? Please let me know! :)

I second Mina's recs of Batman: Ego and Batgirl: Year One. Ego is a really interesting look into Bruce's psyche and Batgirl: Year One is a lot of fun (plus the art is *gorgeous*).

I'm definitely putting those two on my list! :D

I would also recommend The Gauntlet (cool story about Dick's final test before he can become Robin.) and Family (8 part story involving a criminal mastermind named Athena who has a group of her own to challenge the Bat Family. This story also sheds some light on Bruce's mother and his relationship with her, which is nice because most stories tend to focus on his father).

I've never heard of that first one, I don't think! I think I've seen some scans, once, of Family. Is the woman sort of in charge of Wayne Enterprises for a bit? *tries to remember*

If you could upload them, that would be awesome! :D *glomps* Thank you!
