You know for such a long time, I realized that comics actually have some insight and complex messages that reflect the outside world. So basically I am asking, is can anyone tell me any latest and new storylines to any comic, because comic book stores are now almost extinct, and I haven't got a latest issue in years, except for the special Captain America comic that dealt with terrorism, and how we have to be strong. I heard that the second Robin who was brutally killed by the Joker came back to life, what with that, and now that the X-Men universe is in "The past of future now", what happened to the original X-men universe, and is super boy still dead in Crisis:Infinite Worlds.
Comics have dealt with issues from drug addictions, Racism, Sexual Orientations, and other worldly issues, weather physically or mentally. They really live you contemplating on certain things. So would some of you mind filling me in on any of the latest stoylines, Thanks a lot.

Re: Comics
I used to work in a comic book store a few years ago. Now that i dont get the opportunity to sit around and read them for free, ive also lost track of whats going off. The last x-men stuff i read was the onslaught storyline. I stopped reading them after that because of the bad continuity errors.
The comic book side of the buisiness has slowly declined over the past few years. My old store sells more movie related toys and yugioh cards these days.
Adam88; have you tried a comic called Kabuki?

RE: Kabuki
it is the time of world war II. japanese soldiers are stealing the females from their neighbouring countries to use as comfort women. among their human possessions are ainu women, aboriginees living in northern japan. tsukiko -- child of the moon -- is 10. she is sent to a vicious naval front where a wise and eccentric general refuses to allow these comfort women to serve their intended purpose. instead, he has them perform ancient kabuki dramas. out of fear and respect, the men do not question his decision. but his son, kai, spreads amongst them seeds of discontent. he has seen how his father watches this tsukiko. she becomes the object of his hatred, for she is not true japanese and does not deserve to wear the imperial flag the general has her dress in. kai is reprimanded, but he is not repentant.
the general's power and reputation increases even after the war. as does his love for tsukiko. on the eve o f their wedding, kai ret urns. tsukiko is praying. kai interrupts. the general finds tsukiko almost dead. her eyes are gone and the word "kabuki" has been carved into her back. she is pregnant. she dies in childbirth.
the general raises the child, ukiko -- child of the rain -- , as his own, but her true father learns of her existence and comes to put her in her place. she is not his family. she is kabuki. he writes it all over her face. the general finds ukiko almost dead. she is taken to the finest hospital. she flatlines for nine minutes, but she returns along with her mother's ghost.
her scars prevent her from leading a normal life so instead, the general begins to groom her for his newly formed agency, the noh. she becomes a living weapon with a new face.
The noh agency is like a big brother operation that governs crime and keeps the balance of power. When kabuli goes rogue, she is put into something simular to a mental institute for ex agents. This is where she rediscovers herself through psycho-therapy sessions and solitary confinment.
The first volume was a black and white artwork story. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Martial artist takes on the yakuza. After that, the artist/writer started experimenting with mixed media which complimented the evolvement of both the story and the main charecter. Its much more deeper than the standard super hero stuff thats dominated the market.
Yeah, ive heard of sandman. I was never a big fan of the vertigo line, and neil gaiman was someone our store loved to hate. I didnt mind preacher, and death wasnt a bad book, but the majoraty of vertigo titles couldnt keep my attention. Peter david was always my favourite writer in the comic book buisiness.
