What comics are you reading now?

[Uncle Yusuf]

From DC, I'm reading all three Justice League titles, Aquaman, Batman, Nightwing, Batman and Robin, Talon, Demon Knights, Teen Titans, Constantine, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and Earth 2. I was reading I, Vampire and Frankenstein: Agent of Shade, until they cancelled both titles. After the news reached me that Demon Knights will be cancelled, as well as the whole fiasco with DC and their handling of their writers, I'm on the fence about whether I should continue collecting their books every month. I'm seriously considering limiting my monthly comic book purchases to Valiant only. The only sucky part about that is that one of my favorite writers, Robert Venditti, will be writing Green Lantern next month.

I've also been reading Green Arrow since Jeff Lemire began his run on it.

Has anyone picked up Uber, from Avatar? And if so, how do you feel about it....?

[Sven the Returned]

Alien Legion.

[grendeljd]

Alien Legion.

I freakin' love Alien Legion. There needs to be new AL comics... or perhaps a movie or tv show.

[Sven the Returned]

Why did DH had to scrap it? They even had some art done. What woulkd be really sweet... If somebody would have the guts to make the movie.

[Burrito Boy]

Almost through the recent Transformers: Spotlight series as and they're pretty interesting reads Megatron and Thundercracker are the best IMHO and Trailcutter and Hoist are pretty damn good. Bumblebee and Orion Pax are the weakest of this batch they're good but nothing special. The subplot of Metroplex and hunt for the Space Bridge technology feels a little forced but still it's a fun read.

If you want smart, funny, and thought provoking and if you think that the Transformers are unrelatable you should check out these books as well as More Than Meets The Eye and Robots In Disguise and see how relatable these characters really are.

I'm sorry but I will never be able to relate to giant, transforming robots. Every time I try to transform, I end up in the emergency room.

just finished up GL vol 3. man am I glad to be through the Ron Marz era. Saying Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver brought new life to that book is an understatement.

[lorddunlow]

I'm up to #30 in Chew. So good.

Just read Avengers #12. Interesting issue. Starting to see some villains now.

No New Universe elements in this issue.

man Chew #30 was so

fantastic

[lorddunlow]

I actually just finished 30. Really, really good.

[lorddunlow]

Okay, I'm caught up on Chew. Love that book. Gotta get me a chog figurine.

Read first issue of Animal Man. Pretty good example of a good book before decompression made us pay more for the same amount of story. Seriously, I got to page 11 of issue one of Animal Man, I was surprised to discover I wasn't even halfway through. Modern comics are just spread over more issues. It's a ripoff. Even with good books like Chew.

Ooooh, can't wait for Animal Man thoughts!

Try not to think of them as robots but as human like characters.

At the Phoenix con, there were TONS of Uber variants at the avatar booth.
Like 8-10 different covers.

Read Revival #10. Still loving it, although this issue was a little uneventful - damn decompression. At least this book uses the slow pace for character development.

For some reason yesterday, I started back up on TWD. Read from 55ish to 59. Can't figure out why I'm still reading it. It's such a bummer. I took an extended hiatus after Lori and the baby were murdered as I was very traumatized by that. I'm thinking I will do the same after learningthe Morgan was killing people to feed to zombie Duane - seriously, those two doing okay with the Gameboy scene was what kept me from halting my reading earlier in the run

It's really well written and quite engrossing, but in the way that I watched hours and hours of news footage and commentary about the 9/11 attacks for months afterwards. Kirkman is a sick *SQUEE*.

[MarkRoseHFX]

I just finished reading the Sinestro Corps War for the first time last night. holy *SQUEE* that was awesome.

[Elveen]

I started reading Usagi Yojimbo.
Wow! It is great. I'm like three trades in. Can't wait to read more tonight

I have similar feelings, I fall in and out of love with the series. It is excellently written, but it does go around in circles and contain some pretty dark stuff - and not even in the gore/zombie way, more emotionally.

Batman
Detective Comics
All-Star Western
Batman Incorporated
Batman Beyond
Swamp Thing

DC touch-and-go (I buy individual issues/arcs if they look good):

Batwoman
Catwoman
The Flash
Wonder Woman

Marvel:

Deadpool
Hawkeye (aka Hawkguy)

[400yrs]

I haven't ead yesterday's book, but every single issue of superior spidey has been soooo good, it's crazy. This and maybe harrbinger are the only books tuat are worth $3.99 for the singles.

[caniac]

Can't believe we have to wait until August for Saga 13
