I’ve mentioned before just how gung-ho I was about the initial offerings from Pacific Comics, one of the fist of the new independent publishers who cropped up in the nascent Direct Sales marketplace of comic book specialty shops once it had been shown that it was possible to turn a profit there. While my enthusiasm for the group only lasted a year or so–I continued to buy their books after that…

Torchy in Modern Comics #97
What’s everyone’s fav depiction of lois lane! in older comics i’ve seen her with shoulder length auburn curls, big brown hair, straight black hair—bob, long, wavy, pin-straight—V bangs, blunt bangs… pretty much every hair style under the sun. Not to mention every other feature—tall, short, light/dark eyes, fashion sense, facial features. Lmk your favorites! Show/movie/fan depictions encouraged :)
I can't believe i'm saying this, but modern DC does have one small leg up over Marvel: they have imprints for all the different age groups. DC has a middle grade imprint, which significantly helped me make my reading list. Because all I want out of modern comics are the silly ones. The middle grade stuff. The stuff that doesn't take itself too seriously. Because if you're not going to have the fantastic prose of the 60s, 70s and 80s, then you don't deserve serious storylines. Serious stories deserve to feel serious. They deserve to feel like novels.
But humour? Humour can be light and short on words. So humour is the only genre that works in the modern format. So I need directions to Marvel's humour stuff. I can't look up an imprint, so i'm turning the question over to everyone on here. What marvel stuff from at least 2010 onwards (maybe the 2000s and 90s too) is fun and silly enough to meet my classifications? I'm talking stuff like Tiny Titans, all the Batman tv show tie-in comics, the DC Zoom imprint stuff, etc. What is there in that ballpark at Marvel?
