Oh, and I almost forgot about the perfect comic for you: The Superior Foes of Spider-Man. It's got light-hearted comedy, tongue-in-cheek action, great characters, and focuses on characters nobody on Earth has ever heard of.

Ahahaha, fu
ckin' Shocker and Speed Demon! Honestly, I keep getting Superior Foes and also Spider-Gwen recommended to me. They're right up there with Spider Woman in terms of comics that I'll spider-buy when this spider-snow storm finally spider-f
ucks off.
And yeah, for the most part I agree that comics don't
need to have constant action. Variety is good. There all kinds of comics for all kinds of people, with changing moods and tastes. And I love comedy mags, but it's no secret that I also love a good fight. Right now, I'm getting my action fix from a big book of '70s Defenders comics that I picked up awhile back for super cheap. So much random s
hit keeps happening to them. Valkyrie just inadvertantly started a prison riot, while Nebulon is keeping the others busy by trying to brainwash the world into putting on clown masks, and Ruby Thursday is running for president.
