There's a nice pictorial feature in
Slate today called
"Men Without Tights: Comics that reinvent the superhero genre" written by Dan Kois. Using the success of NBC's Heroes as a jumping off point, he does a nice job of touring some of the best of the current crop of non-costumed comics, including Ex Machina, Concrete, Astro City and others.
Speaking of, how 'bout that Heroes? Who would've thought that such a fanboy premise would actually turn out to be a) watchable and b) outrageously popular? The mainstream is co-opting geekiness!
