Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Tajin]

Thanks for the batman recap, back to not reqding batman for a few more months.

[Krandor]

Mostly just a Marvel guy nowadays, especially of late with New 52 really dying out on me...

Superior Spider-Man (had been willing to give it a chance cause I trusted Slott, really glad I did)
Fables (has died out a little for me recently but still love this series)
Avengers (H I C K M A N)
New Avengers (H I C K M A N)
X-Factor (outside of Remender's UXM, best X-Book since they launched it in 2006)

In the mini-series department, Daredevil End of Days has been freaking great.

[Kyo]

1. Saga
2. Batman
3. Captain Marvel
4. Wonder Woman
5. All New X-Men

Honorable Mention for Batgirl.

[Delirium]

1. Saga
2. Batman
3. Captain Marvel
4. Wonder Woman
5. All New X-Men

Honorable Mention for Batgirl.

Captain Marvel has been enjoyable
Also, I can't believe I forgot about Hawkeye on my list.

[Kaslo]

I only have 5 on my pull list: Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, Captain America, Young Avengers, and Superior Spiderman. But I read alot more.

My current favorite five:

1. All New X-Men
2. Superior Spiderman (for all the hate, the Ock/Spidy dynamic is a lot of fun)
3. Wolverine and the X-Men
4. Ultimate Comics X-Men
5. and idk I'm not sure on 5... but I am excited for the upcoming Apocalypse plot for Uncanny Avengers.

Captain Marvel has been enjoyable

Agreed. Marvel NOW is knocking it out of the park I think. The only duds have really been Iron Man and X-Men Legacy and they're both not completely awful (except for Greg Land.)

Edit: And Thunderbolts. That's the only really BAD book.

[Kyo]

Yeah thunderbolts is garbage.

[Doombear]

My list is really shifting around lately. I would say the last few months it has been:

Saga - I want this every week...
Walking Dead - I would pay for a spinoff Lucille focused book.
Avengers
Hawkeye - Love it or hate it, I really like what they have done here. I know people think it is overhyped, but I truly enjoy every page.
Great Pacific - This is a tricky new one, I really like it so far, but it could just go wrong at any moment I feel. The Massive was sitting here, but I feel it has slowed down. Next week it could be right back in this list.

[Krandor]

I feel like I should be reading Saga based on everyone's lists.

[tyven]

im not reading a ton these days

uncanny avengers
avengers
new avengers
hawkguy
wolvie and kids
saga
twd
superior spidey


saga and hawkguy are consistently my favorite.

[tyven]

I feel like I should be reading Saga based on everyone's lists.

its the best

[Krandor]

Oh, it's written by Brian K Vaughan.

SOLD

Shit, now I wanna go reread Y The Last Man and Ex Machina.

[grantlogan]

In no particular order my five are:
1.Saga(Everyone else is listing it first!)
2.Avengers
3.New Avengers
4.Wolverine and the X-Men
5.Prophet
Wonder Woman and Uncanny Avengers are up there also.

If people are interested in reading great series/runs, some of my favorites:
1.Watchmen by Alan Moore
2.All Star Superman by Grant Morrison
3.Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol
4.Y the Last Man by BK Vaughan
5.Bendis' run on Daredevil
6.Daredevil: Born Again run by Frank Miller
7.The Filth by Morrison
8.Fear Agent by Rick Remender
9.Arkham Asylum by Morrison
10.Books of Magic by Neil Gaimen

edit: adding Flex Mentallo by Morrison, it's like reading a dream

[Krandor]

Well if we're gonna do suggestions on stuff that's not currently on going...

Annihilation
Nova
Annihilation Conquest
Guardians of the Galaxy
War of Kings
Thanos Imperative - All the above, Cosmic Marvel (mostly handled by Abnett and Lanning, with alot of the earlier stuff also being Keith Giffen) was fucking amazing.
Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon
Preacher by Garth Ennis (personal all time favorite comic)
Immortal Iron Fist by Brubaker/Fraction

Also echoing pretty much everything in the above list, and I'd throw the old Crossgen comics in there. It can be painful to read since every series pretty much just ends with no explanation or forced into really quick resolution of the plotlines, but alot of those series were really enjoyable up until Crossgen went bankrupt.

Lucifer, 100 bullets and american vampire; zero fucks given if its marvel or not.

I'll admit that I'm a Marvel Zombie but great comics come from all publishers. 7 of my 10 recommended series/runs came from DC(too bad DC is butt-sauce nowadays).

[Kaslo]

The only saving grace for X-Men Legacy for me is Chamber.

By the way, the last two X-Men (No other words) seemed just terrible to me, it may just be the way Chamber was written there

[Kyo]

I feel like I should be reading Saga based on everyone's lists.

You should be, its my favorite book right now. I am currently reading Y:The Last Man too, bought all of the deluxe books, its pretty damn good.

[grantlogan]

MAA: Have you played Wolverine with his alt costume? He's a straight up killer now.

I'm really excited for Brian Wood's new X-Men. I really enjoyed his mini run on it preNOW as well. Can't get enough of the new Psylocke pants-costume! Mohawk Storm is pretty sweet too.
