    I like superhero, strongman type comics that have some complexity of character (not simply smash the problem away) Thor, My Hero Academia: Deku and Allmight, Hyperion, Superman, Silver Surfer.

      If you haven’t read it yet, Invincible is great.

      Lemire and Ellis’s runs in Moon Knight are amazing.

      You also might really like Black Hammer, which is like a deconstruction/reimagining of the Silver Age Justice League (I think it’s Dark Horse, but it might be Vertigo). In general, I tend to like more high brow/pretentious stuff and the art, the characters, and the plot are all spectacular.

      Edit: plus Hellboy, obviously. Mignola’s art and love for pulpy, over-the-top monsters and plots are just phenomenal, IMHO. Nothing like Lovecraftian horrors and world-shattering battles to make for great comics

      Edit 2: you mentioned Silver Surfer, so I’m also assuming you’ve already read Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four and FF. If not, start there. It’s one of my favorite Marvel runs of all time

        Oh! Forgot to add Invincible on the list. I’ve only watched the TV show and fell in love with those characters too. Perfect recommendation. I’ll have to check out the rest 😍
