Another Request!

[starsandsea]

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! :)

From what I've read and if I remember right, I'm not sure you'd like "For Tomorrow." The few scans I've seen I didn't like much, although it's Jim Lee art and so pretty! But Kal gets really disassociated from humanity and cold and cruel to everyone. There's a scene where he's talking with Batman on a rooftop and Batman insists that he call him Bruce (which seems really off to me, Batman inisiting Kal call him Bruce out in public??) and Kal says "Bruce is just a mask. All you are is Batman" and flies off. Which is...really cruel! T_T Maybe he makes up for it later? I've never been able to bear to look and find out...

I figured you must have read the Loeb, but better safe than sorry on checking! :)

Oh, have you read Emperor Joker? It's...well, there's no plot I can find, but among the weirdness it has massive amounts of Bruce woobie. Like, lethal levels, lol...

Ahhh, I've seen scans of that moment! That is a... very weird moment!

Yep, I've got Emperor Joker! Bruuuuuce!!! *huggles him very very carefully* *pets Clark* Poor darlings!

Thank you for all the advice, Jen! :D
