Depressing comics

My friend Jojo was extremely kind and lent me two seminal comic books: Marvels and Earth X.

Marvels was a complete delight. Lushly illustrated by Alex Ross, and extremely well written by Kurt Busiek, it managed to tell the story of metahumanity as seen by the common man.

Earth X was really well crafted, but extremely depressing. An alternate future where every hero we know is old, fat or dead. And then, I read about Kingdom Come, which is just as much of a downer.

Depressing...
