You're welcome. It's all right, I understood what you meant. Mostly. I think.... :sure:
Anyway, two other titles spring to mind at the moment.
Another trade title you might want to at least look over is
Herobear and the Kid, by Mike Kunkel. This is more of a "cute" comic, featuring a boy named Tyler and a stuffed bear who transforms into a superhero named Herobear. The whole comic is done in black, white and gray, except for Herobear's red cape and one other item that appears later in the series (which I won't reveal, since it's attached to a pretty major plot point).
This comic can actually be given to older kids with good reading skills, since there's nothing objectionable in it, but it can also appeal to adults who remember using their imagination as kids and who've been through the whole "tormented by bullies and surviving school" part of their lives. The revelation of the mystery of Tyler's grandfather may or may not work for all readers, but it fits into the story Kunkel is telling, so no complaints from me about it.
The only on-going comic series I'm reading right now is
Rex Libris, an indy comic about the world's toughest librarian. (Yes, you read that correctly. Rex and his fellow librarians all get combat training as part of their job skills.) A preview of the first issue is available if you click on the title above. The running commentary at the bottom of the preview pages can be completely ignored, and you won't miss a thing. It disappears after the first issue, thankfully.
Rex Libris is being published by
Slave Labor Graphics. At the moment, only three issues are available, so I'm not sure what the status of the title is, but now would be a good time to get in on the beginning of the series if you like the preview.
