What comics are you reading now?

[CaptnAmerca]

Sounds like an interesting premise. I noticed #1 is now only 0.99 so i bought it. Will give it a read and see if i like it.

Well that's a good deal. 3 bucks to be caught up. I'd be interested to hear what you think. I don't want to sound like a shill (or God forbid, an I-liked-it-before-it-was-cool doofus), but I don't see it ever mentioned on any boards or forums and Valiant fans seem like they appreciate a good story that doesn't need a huge marketing blitz.

Plus, you guys in this forum steered me in the direction of Black Science, East of West, Lazarus, and an awesome run of Batman, so I felt like I should try and reciprocate.

I'll have to check out The Dead.

Anyone reading Umbral? #4 came out last week, and I have to say, I'm really digging this book. I needed a good dark fantasy in my pile, and this fills that need very well. I just reread the whole run so far, and It's great. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but imagine Pan's Labyrinth meets Dark Crystal. Great young female protagonist and very cool mythos.

The art will not be for everyone (it's very emotional - not crisp and clean lines) but i think it complements the story perfectly. I enjoyed #1 enough digitally to add a print copy to my subs, but it didn't blow me away. With each issue, it just gets better and better.

Looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

This was the very first comic ever that I picked up with no recommendations or input from an outside source. I thought the art looked cool in the ads leading up to its release, and the little taglines had me sufficiently interested enough to try it out. I have not been disappointed.

Hey, it's by the creators of Wasteland. I love that series. I just downloaded Umbral #1, and it's right up my alley. Good find!

I'm very excited. I sent an email to the Umbral letters page. Antony Johnston responded on Twitter that he would be including my letter in an upcoming issue!

This will be my first time being in a comic book!

Umbral is really a great book. Anyone that enjoys a dark fantasy should check it out.

[Elveen]

I started a re-read of Crossgen's Meridian.

I read that as dork fantasy first.

[xodacia81]

Read All Star Superman. To quote a former member of the forum, this was Silver Age crap.

[MarkRoseHFX]

Hawkeye #17

I don't think i've ever laughed out loud this much at any comic book.

And the new Moon Knight is GREAT.

[kjjohanson]

The new She-Hulk is a lot of fun.

[Chiclo]

The new She-Hulk is a lot of fun.

That's what she said.

Wait, that doesn't work here.

That's what the Juggernaut said.

To expand on my comment, it kinda has the tone that I think Quantum & Woody, done right, would have (if we're ruling out Priest returning to the book).

I read my X-Men Days of future Past TPB/prestige book. I've never read it before, and I really liked it. I don't know that much back story on the X-Men, but I was still able to enjoy the story.

You had not read the original Days Of Future Past story before? Its definitely one of the all-time great X-Men stories, and a top fav of mine. Good that it was enjoyable for you - it is fairly self contained.

That era (late 70's/early 80's) of the X-MEN books is abosolute gold. Protheus, Hellfire Club, DPS, Kitty joining, too much good stuff coming out at the time. Even Dazzler is kinda interesting.

My current monthly pull as of now:

-All VALIANT
-Batman
-Detective
-Batman and...
-Batman: Eternal (weekly)
-East of West
-Moon Knight
-DC's Secret Origins

Sill tradewaiting for TMNT, Usagi and TWD.

Anyone picked up Pretty Deadly from Image? It's been described as a western horror mythology type book so I'm curious about it.

I picked up the first issue but wasn't overly impressed by it.

I read the first 3 issues. I'll read some more when there is a digital sale at Image, but I wasn't too impressed. It has lots of potential, but it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Have you also read The Surrogates: Flesh and Bone, which is the prequel to The Surrogates? Great read too!

I bought both at the same time and read Flesh and Bone first, since I knew it was a prequel. I think you will enjoy it like I did.

I have the first five issues, but have only read 1-3. I think it has an interesting premise & also has some potential. I'm gonna have to sit down and read the first arc all at once to give it another chance.
