What comics are you reading now?

[Lightning Strike]

On my list, things I just picked up:
Lady Mechanica #1

I read this series and so far it's been good. Let me know what you think about it

It's pretty cool, and really stylish. This gets more stylish points than it does story points, but I do like the style quite a bit.

Yep, exactly how I feel. I like it because it has the steampunk feel to it.

[Big Red]

Invincible is pretty good, but it's not really floating my boat. I enjoy it when I read it, but I don't crave more when I'm done.

Really? It's one of my favs.

How far along are you?

[MarrowMan]

I never found Invincible to be interesting (read the first trade).

read all 90 issues. you'll change your mind

[MarrowMan]

I never go beyond the first trade if I think it's *SQUEE*. Sure, I get growth will/may occur, and it more often than not does, but I have to be see some remote level of hope in my initial reading, and with Invincible (and Walking Dead), I actually simply disliked them totally. I don't buy more of what I dislike.

Fair enough. No one is gonna pry your eyes open and make you read it ala Clockwork Orange style.

But trust me, I thought the same. I kept reading and eventually it won me over.

Yep. That's why I've abandoned everything by that hack Bendis. It's all re-hash.

The 2nd trade is where everything is turned on it's head.

I originally quit the book after the first four or so issues but I came back and I'm glad I did.

It's one of my favorite books now.

I think it's actually the third trade and at the end of the first HC.

That's the only bad thing about Invincible is that it started slow.

I've used this argument for the tv show Babylon 5. I can say that having read the first issues of Invincible...I really hope it improves. I think I was/am 2 or 3 issues into the first tpb.

I haven't read Invincible but if the first few trades are as slow getting going as the first season of Babylon 5, I won't be able to stick around for the good stuff. The only reason I slogged through B5S1 was because I started watching the show much later in the run and watched the first season in reruns.

Damn, I didn't want to cut that deep.

Heh. Even as big a B5 fan as I am, I can admit that the first season-and half the 5th-are really hard to watch. The first, because the lead director and co-producer (Richard Compton, fired after his 13 episode contract was up) slowed the pace to glacial, and the 5th, because that whole Teep story was dreadful.

[Chiclo]

.... the 5th, because that whole Teep story was dreadful.

The best part should have been when that guy punched Byron in the face three times but Byron even managed to ruin that.

Worst. Casting. Job. Ever.

[MarrowMan]

Wasn't this guy in babylon5



If he was, I'm pretty sure him and Walter Koenig were the best things in it.

Nah, dude. Birdman was in the B5 spinoff, Crusade.

[xodacia81]

Well, Koenig was good in B5, but Cole was in Crusade, the spinoff from B5. Don't be hating on G'Kar and Londo, yo! Those two WERE the best thing about B5. Ok, and Ivanova.

I have to say that, or she'd kick my sorry but all the way back to...well...

(a no-prize to those who get it)

[cinlach@aol.com]

I'm about to start Emperor Doom...actually have never read it before.

[400yrs]

I read all the newer stuff last night and enjoyed it - Saga 2, Saucer Country 2 and America's Got Powers 1, but I'm in a bit of a rut not really wanting to read my usual books for some reason. So I started re-reading Proof. Damn, I miss that book.

[kevinbastos]

I finished up Secret Weapons 8, and Archer and Armstrong 21-22 with Shadowman and Master Darque.

Have any of you read these lately?

Darque uses the phrase 'old rummy' and has some corpses sing a song.

For real.

Sad how the book went from SO great to terrible.

That book should've just been cancelled at #12. Man, was it terrible.

As far as I'm concerned, it was.

[StarBrand]

I read the first issue of the Eisner nominitated Kafka yesterday, originally published by Renegade Press in the mid-eighties. It was so good, I had to buy the definitive TPB. Hopefully, it will arrive next week.

[Cyberstrike]

I just finished:

Batwoman: Elegy TPB- A good story not as great I hoped (namely because the style is so weird) but I did enjoy it.

Scarlet: Book 1 Premiere Hardcover-I really had no idea what this one was really about but damn it's an awesome read.

I'm half-way through Jennifer Blood vol. 1: A Woman's Work Is Never Done TPB.

[dbngaa]

Just read Birds of Prey 1-7 (the New 52 one). Had heard good things about it so when Duane Swierczynski was announced as the Bloodshot writer I figured I give it a try.

Really enjoyed it. Great art, intriguing storyline. There were a few times I felt like a page was missing, but that may be an effect of the smaller page count. This is the first series I've read with the 20 page issue.

Anyway, even more psyched about Bloodshot now.

[chisumwomack]

Finished the Flex Mentallo HC. Great stuff.
