What comics are you reading now?

[400yrs]

Anyone else reading Morning Glories? I've only gotten through the first arc but I'm liking it.

I read this as singles up through issue #9 or so. I decided to switch over to trades and haven't caught up yet. I like what I've read, but reading it as singles didn't work for me because of the ever-dangling mystery. I like the art and the ideas though. I believe I now have up through issue 19 or 20 which I need to catch up on.




Hawkeye #7 - Awesome!
Superior Spider-Man #2 - This was a date issue and was really excellent.
Invincible #100 - This was fairly disappointing. I see what Kirkman was trying to do and he did it, but I can't say this was one of my more-liked issues.
Point of Impact #1 - I'll have to track this down in trade. I liked this first issue more than I expected to (which is what I always seem to say on books by Jay Faerber).

I thought Hawkeye #7 was not all that great...definitely the worst of the series. He didn't mind Gil calling him Hawkguy back in Oct but in Dec he kept correcting him stating "eye" in issue #6. The story was just not that fluid. Kate looked terrible in this issue IMO.

I believe the spoiler had more to do with how #7 was created (and also will be in spoilers)...
Remember that #7's original solicitations were for the issue that will be this month's #8. But with Superstorm Sandy, Fraction decided to crank out a special issue with two local-for-him (Portland, Oregon) artists. Maybe that is the reason he forgot about the Hawk"guy"/"eye" convo inspired by his son. Either that, or Clint's tolerance of being called Hawkguy was wearing thin by December.

I'm also convinced that Hypernaturals would probably flow better in trade format than waiting month-in, month-out for issues and forgetting what happened. Will still get the single issues and also buy the trades because it's good and I like DnA, but just a thought as I was reading Hypernaturals #8 today.

Hickman is doing marvels with his two Avengers titles. Awesome.

Whew.

Massive read.

I've been reading the Cable & X-Force and did the new #1 Uncanny X-Force. They're actually not bad (WTH Cluster?!?), but the All New X-Men is really good.

Saga and Mahattan Projects

I've done the first couple Mind the Gap but let it slide. May pick it back up. How do you like it?

I dunno how I feel about it, It's 7 issues in, and f00k all has happened, yet I still buy it for some stupid reason.

yesterday I bought and read

Avenging Spider-Man #16
COMEBACK 1-3
Revival 5-6

How were these?

Invincible 100 was disappointing, wasn't it?

I can't help but wonder if DnA had an idea for a Legion story that DC would not let them write so they went to Boom! and did the Hypernaturals. It really feels like a rare good Legion story.

I wish VEI would have a Jonathan Hickman in their stable.

Avenging Spider-Man #16
COMEBACK 1-3
Revival 5-6

How were these?

Invincible 100 was disappointing, wasn't it?

I thought it was better than the run up had been. Issues 98 and 99 were somewhat painful. I think Kirkman let the last storyline run on too long and didn't give himself a chance to set up something properly for 100.

Yeah, 3 issues was kind of quick for an arc. But he said kind of the point he wanted to make in this one, like he often does was to make fun of the genre about the "deaths" and retunrs. And also to make this just another regular issue rather than celebrating that it got to 100 issues like other companies do. I get what he was doing, but I could've gone for something grand here instead of this intended understatement.

The way that Dinosarus just changed his mind so quickly didn't feel right either. And wtf is up with that last page? Again?

So he parodied the genre by doing exactly the same thing with little humour?! Same with making it any other issue, it had a ton of covers, a whole load of hype and a death. I don't get this whole Kirkman was parodying other companies (and himself) in this case, a parody needs to subvert the genre tropes to comment or make fun of them not just repeat them.

Levy's tears were my standout moment though! I'm just gutted Dinosaurus had such a cheap death, really loved having that character around, even if I knew he couldn't last forever. As for the last page I'd say that was pretty expected, what else has Mark been up to whilst out of the heroing game

Superior Spider-Man 3

This series is excellent. I'm very much enjoying the ride!

[lorddunlow]

Just read the Revival trade. It's pretty good. I'm hooked on the story for now.

I need to re-read it as a group. I just read the singles as they came out. I loved #1, but then I felt like the story wasn't moving anywhere or worse, that there was no solid story.

I am feeling the same way. The first issue was solid, but the rest have not up to par.

I finished Manhattan Projects Vol 1. This is good, no doubt, but it's not my style. I don't really like the art either. Pitarra's stuff in Red Wing, I liked better. This kind of looks a step to far towards Giffen's Trencher.

Looks like you read most of the stuff that I read. Invincible and Chew are two of my favorites, but if you are looking for something that just started a little while ago, try Hawkeye!

im only reading all new xmen and marvel has been really missing with me and i have a need to get first prints.. idk i wont get first print hawkeye i know it sounds silly. i dont want the fourth print variant -_-

[caxiotis]

Read Nowhere Men #1-3. Not sure what to think about it (which is not a bad thing). I have to think about it for a little while and then reread it.

[caxiotis]

Been reading The Goon by Eric Powell and think it is amazing. I only have about seven issues left to read before I am completely caught up and think this book is genius. Great humor and great story. I have not heard anybody talk about this series before and I honestly don't know why. I am super impressed with the art and silly, silly humor. Great stuff.

I am going to say something that I am sure people are going to disagree with, but I feel this is the best book being published right now. Right now my #1 is The Goon and my #2 is Chew.

[400yrs]

The people who like the Goon really like it.

I tried a few issues and I think a trade, but nothing about it caught my interest.
