From Dan Slott: Spider-Man & The Human Torch: I'm With Stupid Thing mini-series She-Hulk I think I'll add Marvel's Ren & Stimpy book to your list that Slott also worked on
Also, you can't go wrong with any of the Harvey books. I'm particularly fond of Hot Stuff myself
I had some Harvey comics before I got into superhero comics around 1976 or so. I'l have to pull them out of the longboxes!

Let's go ahead and throw in Jack Cole's Plastic Man. Yeah, I'd heard that and the Spirit are basically the two best Golden Age comics out there. I'll have to check it out!

If you haven't checked them out yet, both Crimebuster's Crimebusters and Roquefort Raider's Le Bras d'Orion are really fun series, very different from each other but both a lot of fun to read. If you've never checked it out, Jeff Smith's Bone has a lot of serious overtones and themes, but is at its heart a fun adventure series. Any of the Eric Shanower solo or Shanower/Skottie Young Oz comics are a ton of fun as well. The OP mentioned Future Quest being too dark, but the 80s Space Ghost one-shot from Comico with art by Steve Rude is a fun comic to check out. -M

I think I'll check out the Space Ghost one-shot sooner rather than later. I really like the Comico Jonny Quest series, or at least what I've read of it so far.

From Dan Slott: Spider-Man & The Human Torch: I'm With Stupid Thing mini-series She-Hulk I'll third Radioactive Man The Tick Justice League International Formerly Known as Justice League I Can't Believe It's Not Justice League Great Lakes Avengers Damage Control Top Ten Smax Tom Strong Tomorrow Stories Tom Strong's Terrific Tales Cud/Eno & Plum Maze Agency E-Man Comico Jonny Quest Archer & Armstrong Quantum & Woody Thanks. some good ones here. She-Hulk (which She-hulk series, by the way?) and the Spider-torch ones sound good. I've read that Justice League stuff, and yeah, it's great. I've got the first 6 TPB's. Good call. I read the first Radioactive Man last night after these recommendations. It was good! I'm enjoying the Comico Jonny Quest series.. I'm up to #5 now. I've heard goo things about the Great Lakes Avengers, definitely have to check that out, and I love the Tick live action series and cartoon, so I definitely have to check out the comic! What is the title & year of that Thing miniseries?

I just finished the whole run of Scooby-Doo Team-Up. Now I'm sad because it's over! It was a lot of fun, which seems to be a rarity in general in today's world, let alone comics. so now I'm looking for another fun series to replace it. So, can anyone suggest another fun series to check out? I've checked out the Jonny Quest/Adam Strange crossover, and Future Quest #1, and they were OK, but just too serious. I was hoping for something lighter. I've checked out some of the Batman'66 stuff, and some of it was good, but it was sort of hit or miss for me. The Bruce Lee Darby Pop stuff was actually pretty good. I'd classify that as fun. The Elongated Man miniseries was fairly fun, too. I haven't check out the DC/Looney Tune 100-Page Super Spectacular yet. Anything else to fill my void, folks? Superior Foes of Spiderman The Flinstones And Dematties/Griffin JLA

What is the title & year of that Thing miniseries? Slott had two She-Hulk series: 2004 (12 issues) and 2005 (it ran for 38 issues, not sure how long Slott wrote that one). She-Hulk works for a law firm (Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holloway), where the Awesome Android is a gopher and they deal with super-powered cases. LA Law for the superhero set (with some Night Court humor, too). Thing was 2005; Lockjaw hangs out with him, runs up against Arcade, poker game finale.

Like grading, a fun series can be so subjective.
I'd go for Hack Slash, The Boys, or a re-read of the first volume of Rat Queens.
