      lol ... Yeah, that would be expensive. But I don't think a lot of small publishers go there. But now that you reminded me, I did hear of this blog that makes a comic you might be interested in. I've never read it yet, but it's about a character named Hard 8. He is the best hitman to ever walk the streets of Las Vegas. Or at least he was, until the day he went straight. Now he's on the other side, fighting to protect the unprotected from the same evil empire he once worked for. There's just one catch... he's missing both his trigger fingers!

    Well, I admit, I'm a MARVEL guy. So all I can recommend right now is MARVEL titles. My pulls, at my local comic store, include:
    
    1. Fantastic Four
    2. Avenger's The Initiative
    3. New Warriors (that title was canceled on me)
    
    I can't actually recommend any comics before I know how NEW you are to comics...?

        Alright, I understand... I only know of a few small companies, so here it goes:
        
        1. Dark Elf Designs (I don't overly care for their stories, but you might find them interesting)
        2. Boomtown Press (Both child friendly, and funny)
        3. Th3rd World Studios (I like this company the most...Lots of free viewable content)
        
        Have you ever been to a comic-con before? There's normally a lot of companies you probably never heard of that show up there... In case you're interested.

  You know Christian based comics

    Daredevil is Catholic, and his mom is a nun. That has been examined in several storylines.
    
    Nightcrawler is Catholic, and he heard God calling him to holy orders. He had a mini-series which incorporated that. The movies also portrayed his faith.
    
    What do you mean by Christian "based"?
    
    Crossbreed are an overtly Evangelical Christian superhero team, featured in in Kurt Busiek's Astro City comic book from Wildstorm.

    Also there is a host of small-press superhero comics from and for the ghetto market of evangelical Protestant Christianity. I call it a ghetto market since it is insular, minority, and not mainstream -- the very meaning of "ghetto." These art and writing of these comics is generally not up to the best of mainstream comics.
