My brother is a huge comic fan and he is going through a rough divorce right now.
I am figuring out his Christmas present and I want to give him a few comics that will make him feel better for a few minutes.
If you all don't mind can you shoot me some comics that deal heavily with forgiveness, reconciliation, inner peace, and/or self confidence? Any combination of these would be great. Or even comics that make you feel good about humanity. I just want him to feel something positive. Religious comics are fine, really obscure ones are great too. I just need a starting point to begin looking.

Why is Superman raping that transgender child?

What else do you expect from Alan Moore?

The kid was literally asking for it.

Spider-Man: Reign

That's from All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison, not Alan Moore.

Supes is a great dude

It's also not someone raping a tranny so consider I was making a joke about the Moore/Morrison feud and Moore's proclivity for using rape in his works.
Thanks I appreciate the responses!

Sounds like DeMatteis's Spectre run is right up your alley
it's only available as old floppies though so I don't know how helpful that is

You mean if I wanted *all* of it it's only available that way or just some of it?
I found this

Hmm. Sounds like a great gift if I could find a chunk of it..
How many issues did he write?
Flex Mentallo always manages to get me out of slumps, but thats more a story of growing up and facing your fears.
Try Preacher? Idk though, Jesse's answer to everything was violence
>>77512861
27 issues total
The general theme of the series is forgiveness and redemption, and the main character coming to terms with some bad stuff he did in the past and his new role
#5 might be good to look for, it's got the main character coming to terms with the fact that he died and the love of his life married somebody else but they both move on
