Alternate Comic Book Movies

By: Daniel McCarth​y

OK, I don’t ‘get’ comic books. Sorry but that’s the way it is. Comic book movies are fine but the source material is alien to me. Rather than just picking the obvious mainstream fair, I’ve picked some comic books movies that buck the trend and make me want to give the comics themselves a try. Please feel free to add any suggestions.
