Valiant titles aside....what is your top 10 current books

Post by coachjamie »

If you could pick only 10 current ongoing titles....what would they be? Trying to get some input on some titles I may be missing out on.

East of West
Saga
Manhattan Projects
Chew
Revival
The Walking Dead
Hawkeye
Young Avengers (just ended)
Locke & Key (finally ended recently, but plenty of volumes to read and it's worth it)

That's everything I currently read outside of VALIANT. East of West, Saga and Manhattan Projects are 3 of the best books out there IMHO.

I don't read much outside VALIANT and Image, though, except an occasional Marvel title. Hawkeye is worth reading for sure. Pretty excited for the upcoming Iron Fist: The Living Weapon series at Marvel, too.

You basically can't go wrong with anything Jonathan Hickman writes (East of West, Manhattan Projects, Avengers, New Avengers).

Alternate history seems to be a major theme/element in the majority of his work. That's okay as long as he doesn't go too overboard with it. From what I've read elsewhere, he overplayed that element somewhat in his FF run and now he's introduced a parallel universe set of Illuminati.

My choices:

Daredevil
Lazarus
Iron Man
Uncanny Avengers
Thor
Saga
Avengers
Flash
X-Factor

Hey! Somebody else reads Umbral! I really enjoy that book. #3 comes out tomorrow (I think). I didn't list it in my top 10 because there have only been 2 issues, but I see it getting really good.

Welcome to the board, by the way! I'll use this time to point out the dangers of interacting with the Canadian members like MarkRoseHFX and hawkeyeps. They recently tried to waylay me into visiting an area of disrepute in my upcoming trip to Vancouver. They are evil.

Down with Canadians!

I've been reading in no particular order:

1. East of West
2. Nowhere Men
3. Revival
4. Manhattan projects
5. Pax Romana
6. The Walking Dead
7. Dexter

I read everything in trades to keep costs down. Everything except for Valiant titles, I need my Valiant fix monthly!
