I think that is kinda what he meant, It's about superheroes and is a deconstruction of the genre and not a "superhero" comic. If that makes sense.

>>82379741
Read 100 bullets and sandman.

,
>>
>>82379741
Hellboy
Sandman
Saga of the Swamp Thing
ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY (Smartest Boy on Earth, Building Stories, Rusty Brown)
Ghost World
8-Ball
Lobster Johnson is fun, in the style of old comic serials.
Seven Soldiers of Victory was where I started when I tried to like capes.
Astro City if you want to give capes another shot is good, too. The Barbie issue is a good place to start, if you're skeptical.
Fables is entertaining.
FROM HELL is a pretty amazing comic about a turn of the century and women.
The Vision is a fun ongoing. Capes again, though, well written.
Y: The Last man
Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Essex County)
Revival

Hope you find something to read.
