I have so many Marvel superhero comics I could rec (I love Matt Fraction's take on Kate Bishop and Clint Barton too!), but instead, let me suggest two that are ever-so-slightly off that path: Locke & Key, which is a spooky, Lovecraftian fantasy-horror comic from IDW, and Stumptown, a modern private eye comic set in my old 'hood, Portland, Oregon.
