		<description>I want to get back into comics but with the sheer volume of stuff out there I need some serious advice.  I can imagine the perfect comic book story premise:

-A hot chick who is the only one left(or so she believes) surviving the world after a nuclear holocaust.  In order to entertain herself(and combat her loneliness) and stay alive she has to be innovative and resort to extreme measures.  When she does finally meet someone she doesn&#039;t believe they are real and ignores them, thinks she is hallucinating--which she might be from the readers perspective (this would be a philosophical point in the comic that readers could debate)..

-I really liked the first couple of stories in the DragonAge comic book series.  It had a raw realism to it that I can&#039;t find reproduced anywhere else.  I like the idea of using magic which requires sacrificing ones Hit Points (i.e. blood magic or whatever you call it)..

-I like the idea of a major superhero who has turned into a greedy corporate tycoon who is now using his superpowers for personal gain.  I like the idea of a superhero with a radiation enhanced charisma (could also be a hot chick) who can manipulate negotiations.

-I also like the idea of &#039;Star Trek Civil War&#039; (i.e. a civil war within the federation of planets)..</description>
