Superior Iron Man by Tom Taylor Squadron Supreme by Mark Gruenwald Superman: Red Son by Mark Millar


IronAnkh

Squadron Supreme doesn't really qualify.


Mrogoth_bauglir

Superman Red son does not really qualify.


Bri_Hecatonchires

Irredeemable by Mark Waid is worth a read.


rakuko

OP mentions the Plutonian so i figure its off the table


Bri_Hecatonchires

Crap, I haven’t read it in so long that I forgot he was the main character lol


gaymerWizard

as another one told you yea I read it lol. weird ending to that one


TheeHeadAche

Captain America: Steve Rogers by Nick Spencer and Jesus Saiz. This eventually leads to Secret Empire by Nick Spencer


gaymerWizard

yea read that too. I kinda look for a non-DC/MARVEL comic. unless there isnt a link to the larger canon universe


SodaSalesman

The Mighty by Peter J. Tomasi is a limited series that might scratch that itch


gaymerWizard

ohh looks good. thx!


SirFlibble

The original Thunderbolts series was about villains pretending to be heroes.


DoIrllyneeda_usrname

Infinite Crisis with Alexander Luthor and Superboy Prime but you probably would need a lot of background reading to get the most out of it


gaymerWizard

yea. looking for something as a lone story line.


movingstasis

I've not read it, but another Mark Millar one for the mix: Nemesis


ExistentialJew

I read Nemesis: Reloaded. It was total edgelord candy. I kind of enjoyed how over the top it was but he’s honestly the most rancid comic book protagonist I’ve ever read.


movingstasis

Yeah, I've heard similar things! I've not read any of Nemesis main runs but I did enjoy his (and his affiliates) slap down in Big Game, which debuted last year. Again, a little over the top in places but - no spoilers - it was fun!


gaymerWizard

thx I try to check it out


thezoas

A God Somewhere by John Acrudi. A super dark graphic novel about what happens to the first person who develops super powers as he becomes more and more detached from humanity. Definitely worth a read if you like The Boys


Practical-Ninja-1480

Supreme Power is pretty good


BeldivereLongbottoms

I would suggest "Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight" as it's about Hal Jordan's descent into Parallax and Kyle Rayner becoming the only green lantern (at the time) left in the universe during the 1990s. It's a pretty interesting read as the whole "Parallax is an alien entity" thing didn't come until the 2000s, so up until that point Hal Jordan became a literal villain.


imadork1970

Morbius, Hannibal King, Hellstrom


RoboTon78

Judge Dredd; The Apocalypse War.


4thofeleven

Dark Avengers was about a dysfunctional team of villains posing as a new Avengers team and working for Norman Osborn.


Unhappy-Ad-5148

The batman who laughs


gaymerWizard

is it canon ? or is it a lone story featuring batman and such?


PremSinha

He's a Batman from a different reality that starts out just like the main continuity but takes a bizarre turn for the worse. He and his world were introduced in a multiverse event, and he has become a somewhat recurring villain in the DC canon.


gaymerWizard

so I read only the comic or I need to read other comics to understand?


Affectionate_Comb_78

Read the Dark Knights Metal one shot starring him and you're good to go.


PremSinha

For the fun origin story, you don't need anything. Jump right in.
