Punisher: Man Of StoneThis is probably as good as Punisher stories get: the Punisher is lured to Afghanistan to battle a crazy Russian general, while the side characters, his "friends," philosophize about the nature of somebody who murders to atone for his family's ancient deaths, and also people getting shot in the face nonstop.
RATING: 91%
Ulimate Spider-man Vol. 7: IrresponsibleA crazy exchange student named Geldoff is blowing up cars to get chicks, and also Spidey gets yelled at by his aunt after Mary Jane tells him she loves him. It's a strong book but you're probably tired of me saying so.
RATING: 80%
Sandman Vol. 4: Season Of MistsI hate to shortchange one of my favorite graphic novels of all time in this comic three in one, but what more can I say than Neil Gaiman has created in this volume the greatest fantasy story ever put to graphic form. When Dream goes to Hell to confront Lucifer, Lucifer just decides to give Dream the key to Hell and sets all its denizens free. Of course this is a real pickle and all kinds of gods from various pantheons decide to make their cases to Dream as to why he should give them Hell. Also, there's a great story in the middle of it all about how Earth deals with all of the damned being released back into the realm of the living. This is probably the best place to start with Sandman, so buy it or borrow it, take your pick.

My guess is Earth sent them all to Texas.
Where is everyone this week, anyway?
Dollhouse is a pretty good one to start with as well, but that's just my opinion.
Although having a good dump is pleasurable enough, having good reads like these at the same time is what I imagine heaven to be like.
