Post your favorite sci-fi comics below...

After not reading any for a long time, I'm really liking Marvel's Ender's Game series so far....

BOOM!'s illustrated, word for word adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is fantastic.

And, the Buck Rogers comics from Dynamite are fun too!

The old EC Comics runs of Weird Science and Weird fantasy(though I actually have not read them yet).

Yeah the EC stuff is great. It's too bad there isn't a good omnibus edition anywhere....

More new stuff that I'm digging:

Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne

Quote:
Atomic Robo is a robot possessing "automatic intelligence", created by Nikola Tesla in 1923.[10] He is a core member of Tesladyne Industries, "a thinktank dedicated to exploring the fringes of scientific inquiry", whose Action Scientists often respond to paranormal and supernatural emergencies.[11] Robo has a developed sense of humor, and makes numerous wise cracks at his foes' expense.[12] In the past, he has secretly worked with the United States government as well as NASA.

Elephantmen

Quote:
2259: Hip Flask, Ebony Hide and Obadiah Horn are Elephantmen; human/animal hybrids and survivors of a war fought between Africa and China over the European countries ravaged by the deadly FCN virus. That war is long since over and over 15,000 Elephantmen have been rehabilitated by the United Nations and scattered throughout the globe to live peacefully among humans.

The EC stuff is great, but I'm not paying $6/issue... (the archives run $35 and contain 6 comics). :?
