One popular new comic book story is 'Miles Morales: Spider - Man'. It follows the adventures of the new Spider - Man in the Marvel Universe.
In the indie comic scene, 'Monstress' is a very popular new story. It combines elements of fantasy, steampunk, and horror. The art is stunning, and the story is deep and multi - layered, dealing with themes of power, identity, and war. 'Paper Girls' is also quite popular, a time - travel adventure story with a group of young girls as the main characters, full of mystery and action.
Well, there's 'Hellboy'. Hellboy is a demon - like creature who was summoned to Earth but ends up fighting against the forces of evil. It's full of dark and spooky adventures. 'The Walking Dead' (which started as a comic book) is also an adventure story in a post - apocalyptic world. The survivors have to face zombies and other dangerous groups of people. And 'Scott Pilgrim' is a unique adventure where Scott has to defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to be with her.
Another is 'Watchmen' by Alan Moore. It's a deconstruction of the superhero genre. The story is set in an alternate 1985 where superheroes exist but are far from perfect. It has a complex plot filled with political intrigue, moral dilemmas, and a deep exploration of the characters.
Some popular ones might include those with epic battles and heroic characters. For example, stories about a commando team on a dangerous mission to rescue hostages. They often involve intense action scenes like gunfights and stealth operations.
One popular classic comic book story is 'The Dark Knight Returns' by Frank Miller. It presents a gritty and aged Batman coming out of retirement. Another is 'Watchmen' which deconstructs the superhero concept in a complex and thought - provoking way. And 'X - Men: Days of Future Past' has an interesting time - travel plot that involves the mutants fighting for their survival in a dystopian future.
The 'Peanuts' comics are also very funny. Charlie Brown's constant bad luck, like the football being pulled away by Lucy every time he tries to kick it, and Snoopy's daydreaming as a World War I flying ace on top of his doghouse are classic comical elements that have entertained generations.
One popular political comic book story is 'Watchmen'. It delves into complex political and social themes such as power, morality, and the role of the government. Another is 'V for Vendetta' which is set in a dystopian future with a totalitarian regime, and it explores themes of resistance and freedom. 'Captain America' also often has political undertones, especially when dealing with patriotism and the role of the United States in the world.
The 'Black Manta' story arc is also well - known. Black Manta is one of Aquaman's greatest foes. In these stories, we see the intense battles between them. Aquaman has to protect his kingdom and loved ones from Black Manta's evil schemes. Black Manta often targets Aquaman's family, which adds an emotional depth to their confrontations.
The new Spider - Man stories often focus on his life as a high - school student while also fighting crime. There could be new storylines where he teams up with other young heroes to take on threats that are bigger than what he can handle alone. Maybe he has to deal with a new symbiote that has different powers than the Venom we know.
One popular one could be 'Fun Home' by Alison Bechdel. It's a graphic memoir that touches on themes of sexual identity and family in a very poignant way, though it's not strictly a 'bi sex' story in a salacious sense but rather a profound exploration of self - discovery.
One popular theme is the struggle between good and evil. In many comic book short stories, there's a clear line drawn between the forces of good, usually the protagonist, and the bad guys. Mystery is also a great theme. It keeps readers engaged as they try to figure out what's going on, like in stories where a character has to solve a strange mystery in a spooky old house.
