Wow.

I purchased and read the Court of Owls and Night of Owls trades. I have to thank you because that was the best Batman story I've read in a long time. Since Red Hood at least.

Awesome! Glad you liked the story! :thumb: Snyder will be at Planet ComiCon in Kansas City in two weeks and I might ...

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely going to check this Owls story out. Is Court and Night two different things? If so which is first?

All Star Western ...the title alone has piqued my interest.

Is anyone writing good Superman stories these days?

I've also seen people mention Aquaman. This seems ...

Agreed. They changed very little in regards to Batman. The only thing that ticked me off was how they handled Tim

I've started a re-read of Sojourn. This is a above average story and an A+ visual book. It is actually beautiful.

Man, I do love Crossgen.

I've been thinking of re-reading all of the Crossgen books myself but I'm so behind on my current stuff plus I have a back log of stuff from the past year or ...

I just finished reading Jupiter's Legacy 1-3. It's a great book. Best thing about it is how much story there is - not as decompressed as most current books. Art is great. Lots of interesting characters.

My only complaint is I wanted more of the 1920s storyline - I hope it is revisited in a ...

Gary Frank, John Cassaday, Bryan Hitch , Jae Lee, and Jim Lee.

Is it just me or has his work been subpar lately? Compare his early work on The Authority to his recent stuff and it doesn't look quite as well

lorddunlow wrote:What I have read of Hickman's Fantastic Four seems safe for kids (those who have finished the run can confirm) and with Franklin and Valeria, there are characters they can relate to. Early Spiderman is good too.

Definitely! Hickaman's FF is awesome

I'm not sure, but HERO from 2003 is one excellent series. Can't say the same about the new 52 book

I'd heard this was good, but had no idea what it would look like. What's the scoop on it?

1. East of West
2. The Manhattan Projects
3. Chew
4. Revival
5. Harbinger
6. Archer and Armstrong
7. New Avengers
8. Avengers
9. Guardians of the Galaxy
10. Invincible

(we have very similar tastes)

I left TWD off because I have a love/hate relationship with that title. It is ...

Here's my top ten faves right now:

-East of West
-TWD
-Invincible
-Avengers
-New Avengers
-Guardians of the Galaxy
-Batman
-Hellboy
-All-New X-Men
-Fables

Just finished reading the new 52 Aquaman and I have to say it was quite enjoyable. The stories were really good, I love how they are portraying Arthur and Mera. And while I normally love Pelletier's art, Reis' work on the book was amazing.

I don't know about the other two, but Lazarus is good, not great.

Filling my cart at the Image Digital store for the 50% off sale. I'm getting overwhelmed. Suggestions on can't miss Image books? Looking for current and past books - I cannot pass up 99¢ drm-free books.

I already get East of West, Manhattan Projects, Revival, TWD , Umbral, Chew, and Invincible on ...

I felt like reading some old school stuff so I'm re-reading Byrne's Alpha Flight run

I think you mean Brad Meltzer & Ed Benes. If so, I pity you.....I found that series really dull. Then again, Meltzer usually doesn't do much for me.

Yeah, meant Meltzer. I just started reading Johns' Aquaman too and got them confused.
