Which Squadron Supreme? Gruenwald's version or JMS'?

I picked up the Collected issue (1-3) and really enjoyed the read, now I'm wondering what's gonna happen next. It's pretty cool.

I am reading the latest Fables TPB. (Christmas gift)

I can not express how much I enjoy this book. Most likely my all time favorite story. I hope Willingham writes it for years and years.

Currently attempting to read everything published by Epic Comics.

the Heavy Hitters line was real hit or miss. Feud and Lawdog were great! War Man was pretty terrible.

I picked up a full run of Arion: Lord of Atlantis from DC and am up to #10 and enjoying it so far. It's pretty heavy on the story building, narrative, and dialogue. There's alot to actually read.

I am not sure what is next.... I am in the middle of Squadron Supreme, but I also started a Way of the Rat run..... But I have a complete Ghost vol 1 run and I finally have all of the Ronin books. Not sure what to do.

I really dig Moore's Swamp Thing. I have the first four or so trades, so I know they exist.

It is quite different than what I would expect. I never thought I would think a psychadelic vegetable love story was so great.

Rick Veitch run following Moore's is almost as good

I'll have to check that out.

Kinda interesting that Tom and Rick Veitch took over two of the major pre-Vertigo books after the rock star creators left (Rick Veitch after Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and Tom Veitch after Grant Morrisons Animal Man - after Peter Milligans short run, of course).

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run is being collected in Hardcover for $25 and is scheduled to be on sale 2/25/09 and you can see more here. I've ordered one and can't wait.

you can't go wrong with any of those titles, IMO. Personally, if you're rolling with WOTR, I'd say go to RONIN. GHOST is just a sweet book, but it'll wait.
