Hi @steevc - I too had a comic-awakening as an adult. In fact, I remember my dad gave me a Superman comic when I was a kid, and I couldn't get into it. I tossed it and forgot about comics for about 25 years.

Have you looked at any Brian K Vaugn stuff? He's one of my favorites for modern adult-oriented comics. Saga, his current series is great - but I LOVED Y: The Last Man and some of his other earlier work.

(Plug alert) I'll be sharing my own comic endeavors here, so I hope you'll take a look and give some feedback!
