Hm.

If you like body horror: CLEAN ROOM

If you like Wonder Woman: THE CIRCLE

If you like fantasy: RED SONJA

If you like mutants: UNCANNY X-MEN

Those are my first picks I guess? Thanks!
Thank you. Also, where do you recommend it start with reading your books? Is there a fav I should set the tone with? Is there a quintessential Gail Simone book or series?

Are you into swords? Yeah, they’re pretty cool. You know what’s even better? A big sword. Well, in this review, you’re in luck because we have a big-ass sword on offer thanks to cartoonist Andreas Butzbach. @2000ad.bsky.social

Which oddball movies do you think should be adapted into comics?
I really dig this cover of THE CONEHEADS comic book, which was released sometime after the unsuccessful '90s film.
Art by MAD magazine's Tom Richmond and Jimmy Palmiotti.

The interior art by Richmond and Marie Severin, with writer Terry Collins on the script, was fun as well.
