I miss when EDE used to read comics!! Let's choose one (or more) for him to read and then peer-pressure him into reading it so we can get reviews!
Right off, I will toss the Walking Dead out there. He's into the TV show and this series is easily and readily available in TPB form!

Morning Glories! It's quirky, fun and original, all of the things that EDE craves with a new comic book reading experience.
And yes, he must read the Walking Dead as well!
We must be vigilant! One wrong recommendation could send EDE into a spiral of comic book dismay!

It's in a similar format to TV so the transition should be easy .....
also available in tpb.
besides then EDE and I could chat all the time about Y the Last Man and how great it is. (that's a plus right???)

And since EDE didn't care for the LSH relaunch, maybe he should try out ADVENTURE when Levitz and Jiminez start the Acadmey stories? I thought the previous Acadmey story by them was really good and Jiminez brings a level of experience, imagination and talent to the artwork that Cinar just cannot match yet.

I thought of another I would throw out there:
WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY. It's like Alan Moore's SUPREME in that it uses analogue-heroes and fun flashbacky covers and stories within the more modern current-day stories. Also a huge cast of fun characters.
Hmm. Now that I mention it, Moore's full run of SUPREME is available in 2 TPBs and I am about 99% certain EDE would love that series!

Chew has three trades out already. In a world where chicken has been outlawed, the FDA is a powerful government agency. Agent Tony Chew works for the FDA, and he has a talent invaluable to them: the ability to eat anything and then be able to learn anything about what he's tasted. Sometimes, well, he samples dead dudes, and hilarity ensues!
It's a totally fascinating and unique series that mostly has a darkly comical tone to it. There's a large over-arching story that never fails to intrigue. The art is on the cartoony side but totally fits the tone of the stories. Definitely one of the books I most look forward to reading every month! I'm sure, though, that the trades would be an even more satisfying experience for you, Edie, that being your preference.

Ex Machina is also worthwhile for a few trades ...
as is Invincible ...
however I didn't love them like Y the Last Man or I Zombie.
but depending on EDE's preferences.
there is also Irredeemable, and the subsequent Incoruptable which i find pretty ok if you're waiting for the next Walking Dead trade to come out.

If Eryk hasn't read Moore's Supreme trades yet then he must absolutely stop what he's doing RIGHT NOW, run out and get them, and then read them--refusing to leave his room until the trades are read. He will thank us tremendously for doing so!
They are so Eryk that it hurts!
