I liked Fray, which is a future book of Buffy-type Slayers. And the Conan Comic has been surprisingly good IMHO.

I think that I’ve seen your handle here so often that I can’t picture it anywhere else. So, maybe, maybe not. Well, my first name is Ron, which is where GonzoRon comes from. If you remember a Ron, that was me. If not, then I guess I flew under your radar. In any case, “hi!”.

Yup, they are indeed. Both Buffy: Season 8 and Angel: After the Fall (a.k.a. Season 6) are well worth reading. As are Astonishing X-men and Fray. Joss writes comics almost as well as he writes TV.
