Used Book in Good Condition
Grab some trades of Locke and Key, Black Science, Manhattan Projects, Y: The Last Man, Saga, Sex Criminals
Here's a few off the top of my head!
Sooo many others, but this is good starter list. Fair warning: I have not read these with an eye as to what would be appropriate in a Christian environment. I am fairly certain that Stitches, Maus, and Locke and Key are all "safe."
Edit: Eff it here are some more.
You have already mentioned all of my other would be suggestions. :)
Ok well I'll try to give you a few series
Invincible. Really great superhero story by the guy that makes The Walking Dead if you've heard of that. Probably the best superhero book out there. (You can buy the compendium, the first 47 issues for like $40 on amazon). It's up to around 90 issues now.
Y the Last Man (10 volumes, complete. Its amazing. It's a comic where seemingly every man in the world except our hero has died. He tries to get to a lab in California to help find a cure for the disease that killed all the men and...etc)
I don't know much Fantasy...check out Demon Knights, volume 1 from DC comics is an ongoing series. Volume 1 (the first 7 comics) should be out in July. Sorry about the long wait :l
You can also check out the Walking Dead if you like zombies? Compendium gets you...maybe the first 60 issues I think? Its up to 94 now
For individual comics theres Midtown Comics, I don't know what shipping cost would be like to Europe.
If you enjoyed Batman, I would highly recommend checking out the new Scott Snyder setup with the new 52 for Batman. Vol. 1 - Court of Owls and Vol. 2 - City of Owls is a fanatasic story arc that plays well with Batman (and I'm not a huge super hero comic fan).
After that it kinda went wierd, but still enjoyable.
Also would highly recommend Preacher (Careful with Preacher, as you WILL get addicted, and have to purchase all 9 volumes, but amazing story and well written with some adult humor/content btw).
Also Sandman, Y: The Last Man, and Saga all always good choices (Saga is being written as we speak, only volumes 1 through 3 are out, same author of Y : The Last Man. Fantastic mix of fantasy and sci-fi... again adult elements)

[Pretty Deadly] (http://www.amazon.com/Pretty-Deadly-Volume-1-TP/dp/1607069628/ref=pd_sim_b_18?ie=UTF8&refRID=04SK1FJHXXS8DZEYRYFM)
[Ms. Marvel] ( http://www.amazon.com/Ms-Marvel-Volume-No-Normal/dp/078519021X/ref=pd_sim_b_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=1FQ7Q0RJT0824HKT4MM7) is really good.
[Hawkeye] (http://www.amazon.com/Hawkeye-Vol-Life-Weapon-Marvel/dp/0785165622/ref=pd_sim_b_9?ie=UTF8&refRID=1X63F4QDCFTX0K2JC2ZV) is amazing
[Captain Marvel] (http://www.amazon.com/Captain-Marvel-Vol-Pursuit-Flight/dp/0785165495/ref=pd_sim_b_29?ie=UTF8&refRID=0PNEGNTQQ714E2ZQCA09)
If she likes black widow in the movies, she might like this [Black Widow] (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Widow-Volume-Finely-Thread/dp/0785188193/ref=pd_sim_b_10?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JVF6555D8VXFWN07AXT)
Edit:
Could also try [Y: The last man] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Man-Vol-Unmanned/dp/1563899809/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1421532733&sr=1-2)
Absolutely read Y The Last Man by Brian K Vaughan at some point in your life! It's 10 volumes. One of the best stories I've ever read, which I binge-read in a weekend the first time. Post-apocalyptic, scary & humorous too. Really, just everything BKV writes. (Edit: I should clarify. Only scary in a chaotic society/socially relevant way, it's not horror.)
Sandman by Neil Gaiman is probably the closest other series to Fables. Very rich in mythology & folklore.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore is very similar in nature, being about literary characters. Just forget the craptacular movie ever existed. The book is much better.
The Maxx by Sam Keith is one of the best 90s books IMO. Trippy, weird, and whimsical. A psuedo-superhero story that explores mental illness & abuse.
Edit2: Oops, how could I forget Bone by Jeff Smith which at 1,300+ pages is certainly epic -- a fun, fantastical adventure for all ages. And couple that with the fact you can often find the One Volume edition used for under $20, it's an amazing value. Do note the paper is very, very thin though, so artwork bleeds through. If that's a deal-breaker, try the more expensive single volumes.
>The word is actually quite beautiful, related to Cunina, the roman goddess who protects sleeping infants. It means all-knowing, all-powerful.
>Of course, men attempted to rob us of cunt's ancient magic by making the word taboo.
>Now that the beasts are gone, it's time we reclaim our proper title.
>Don't fear what you are, sister. Embrace it.
Dudeses, downvotes? But it's a good comic.
I'm just returning to comics after several years' absence. Also, my tastes are...suspect.
Cool cool yeah Saga kind of covers all genres so I think it is easy for anyone to get into. Plus the artist has won like 5 consecutive Eisner Awards for her art which is one of the most prestigious comic/graphic novel awards.
Definitely recommend reading on a tablet or computer monitor if no physical copy.
Couple more recommendations to add to your list if you are feeling comics again:
Chew - https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/chew - action/adventure/comedy series - 60 issues total
Deadly Class - https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/deadly-class - Focuses on a school of assassins - pilot airs soon or did recently on Scy-Fy - currently ongoing but tons of volumes out at the moment
Y: The Last Man - https://www.amazon.com/Last-Man-Vol-Unmanned/dp/1563899809 - About a man and his monkey during end times, one of my favorites - 60 issues total
Y: The Last Man and/or Ex Machina. Both series are finished and all graphic novels are out.
If you want to read a comic book series with that basic premise (only one man left), check out Y The Last Man.
I used to work at a comic book store and love comics! Here are my recommendations:
For Marvel:
New Silver Surfer Comics (Although I might be partial because he is my favorite superhero.)
New Ms. Marvel They do a great job of making the comic very relevant for today. No idea why it is this much on Amazon, but you can find it for cheap elsewhere.
Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. Supposed to be hilarious because Joss Whedon.
Great if you like Post-Apocalyptic Stuff:
Saga is great for beginners. My housemate had no interest in graphic novels and now she is hooked because she started with Saga.
Y: the Last Man has such a compelling storyline, can't stop reading the series!
Rover Red Charlie because I love animals and apocalypses! I always can't wait for the next one! (Also find it cheaper elsewhere)
We3 Your heart will die, but you will wish you had more to read!
Two I haven't read yet but are supposed to be Apocalyptic:
Sweet Tooth Look weird but cool.
Prophet Looks intense but worth the read.
For myself Blacksad because he is a cat detective. Need I say more?
And check out the Humble Bundle Image comic sale because you can buy some for one cent or the others for way cheap if you want some digital copies to interest you.
Edit: Added missing links and comments below for one super comment!
Does this count as cool? I've heard cool things about it.
Okay I don't know how you feel about comic books but I'm going to throw out one by one of my favorite authors, Brian K. Vaughn. Y: The Last Man - One day everything seems normal and then all the males (human and animal) die, all at once, except for Yorrick and his monkey Ampersand. Yup. It sounds pretty standard but BKV really looks at what the reactions of the females would be and what might actually happen if all of the males died all at once. It is a great first comic for those not keen on reading capes and cowls because they are for 'children'.
Otherwise I love nonfiction books. Chuck Klostermann is my all time favorite. All of his books are quick reads and talk about popular culture. Most recently he released I Wear the Black Hat in which he dissects villains in American media and why we are so interested in evil. As a person who has the pleasure of being cast as a villain most of the time it was a super fun read. Some people really hate his style but because I think disjointedly a lot it was fun for me to read something that worked like my mind works.
