Re: What comics are you reading now?
I have been feeling that exhaustion with new comics this past year too. I think I’d actually just be happy right now if I was only buying new issues of Immortal Hulk and virtually nothing else. That and issues of Lazarus, if and when they come out... and I am hoping for some good stuff to get into from Bad Idea.depluto wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 12:50:20 am Damn, I have just about given up reading comics entirely. I read Valiant runs when I get a few but it took the wind out of my sails when the Valiant output just about dried up. I miss 2012. I still buy new Marvels that I might get around to reading but mainly I am just keeping my runs going.
I went through a period like this before and then got back into reading so we'll see what happens this time. I'm collecting more than ever, but I'm focused on older Marvels.
I also just tried out that new book by Kindt, Keanu Reeves & Ron Garney - BRZRKR. It was very enjoyable actually, I think I’ll read the full 12 issue run if it stays as good as #1 was.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
I am currently reading some Golden age material. Picked up the first two Superman Omnibus editions, along with the first volumes for Batman and Wonder Woman. I must say, I had forgotten how fun and outrageous these stories often were.
Ok. Maybe not WW. You never forget that *SQUEE* once you’ve seen it.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
Still reading and enjoying Birthright (sadly it's coming to an end), Savage Avengers featuring Conan continues to just be a fun read, and I just read Nocterra which was a really well done first issue. Nocterra had a glow in the dark cover which brought back some 90s nostalgia.
I do need to find some cheap copies of Immortal Hulk to get caught up.

Minor spoilers.... A certain Loa has its first appearance in #5 as well. Plus the Valiant debut by illustrator Roberto de la Torre...making that Loa look extra deadly cool.
And then prepare yourself for issues #0 and #10 (that can be read at any time).

Re: What comics are you reading now?
My recent reading has been collected editions (with a lot of it stuff i had in singles but hadn't yet found time to read).
I have just finished Jonathan Hickman's avnegres and new avengers runs, with Infinity as part of that, and Secret Wars. His plotting and milieu building are great stuff to me, his character work much less so, and spidey felt very off pre-the Superior takeover. Essenitially they felt like one very long story, pickig up threads i knew from Ultimate Comics, even if I didn't get there via his SHIELD and FF runs. Overall i enjoyed it.
Reading Infity led me to Inhumanity and reading Charles Soule's Inhuman, uncannay Inhumans and inumans vs X-Men. I really enjoyed those and look forwd to reading All-New Inhumans and then Royals soon.
Saladin Ahmed's Black Bolt as a follow up to Soule's work was interesting, but a very much self-contained book. I lked what he did with Crusher Creel and Titania.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
Batman by Tynion. Still mediocre Bats book, with made for specs characters every 2 months it appears. I strongly reccommend not getting into it, if you are a Batman fan with some years of reading. Its just bland and a "product". Tynion is killing it (the children ) on creator-owned titles from what i read online. His heart is just not in the Bat-world, atm.
TMNT- The Last Ronin- Good comic for old time and new tmnt fans, since its a standalone who reads great by itself, no need to know anything about the turtles, except the very basics. Hate the constant delays, but i'm all in until it ends.
Immortal Hulk- I'm behind, since i'm getting it in those cool Omnis by Panini UK. Issue 13's last page had me forcing some manly tears from dropping. GREAT series.
Daredevil - Best run since Waid, and some folks already put it in "Best Daredevil runs ever"type of lists, even if its probably midway. I LOVE it. Checchetto is killing it with the art duties, and Zdarsky can write Matt like few can. Elektra as DD is cool and all that, but its the overall story that hooked me. The initial premise is indeed a game changer, probably on the same level of "importance" in years to come as issue 50 of the Bendis run was. Its by far my favourite current comic today.
I'm also reading some Marvel Silver Age in Omnis/Epics, namely Spidey and DD. I have a ton of fun reading this stuff, Spidey is suprisingly entertaining despite all the Silver Age-isms and Stan's over-writing. DD is cool, but some stuff is just so out of character for the Miller DD that i knew as a kid... there's no ninja, no angst, no crime noir feel. Instead, its like Spider Man, but with way less cooler villains. Nevertheless, i have a blast reading this old timey stuff.
And finally, Moon Knight. The recent Omnibus with all the old pre-solo series is a godsend. I also finally got my hands on the 2006 series available tpbs and was floored by the madness and violence of the comic. "The Bottom" is now my favourite MK story, actually.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
Batman vs Bigby: Well I am two issues into the series, and it's not good. The villains origin has not been revealed, but Willingham does not write a convincing Batman. A few nice nods to some of the Fables universe, but overall it's not that great. If anyone else has picked it up, let me know your thoughts.
Nocterra: Been enjoying this since the beginning. Looking forward to the one shot.
Geiger: Another series keeping me interested.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
I recently acquired the last Amazing Spider-Man *softcover* Masterworks trade that I was missing to complete the set of 8 (I much prefer the soft covers rather than the hardcover MM editions). While I wish they had continued making more of those, it’s enough to kick off a massive read-a-thon that I’ve been preparing for over the past 4 years or so.
I got on a tangent of picking up as many missing issues as I could find for my ASM collection between ~#194 to #299 starting back in 2017-18, and managed to land most if not all the key 1st appearances in that range along the way. There’s still about 20-25 issues in there for me to hunt down (and the one I still want most is a copy of #299), but I am done waiting on reading through what I’ve currently got.
*REALLY* enjoying the Ditko-Lee era so much, so far. I’m about 20 issues into it - and finally getting to see Ditko’s work in all its glory on ASM has given me a new level of appreciation for his work.
I was never a huge fan of his while certainly respecting his talent - but taking in every panel along the way as I’m reading this stuff has been eye-opening in terms of seeing just how powerful his figure drawing style is, most especially in the dynamic perspective choices he makes. In some ways, his figures are superior to Kirby’s ultra-stylized, but powerfully dynamic action. I look at some of Ditkos individual panels and think that it looks like he used some photo reference for some highly realistic details of Spidey in some really crazy camera angles and perspective, and yet there is no way that he would have access to such a thing. Truly fantastic.
The stories are super fun too - I must admit that while being a mega-Marvel Zombie fan, I often find it a tough slog to read through most anything from the 60’s, as it is simply from a time before *my* time, and often has an innocent naivety and formula to it that I just find agonizingly over-simplified for my own tastes.I finally read the full Lee-Kirby Fantastic Four run for the first time last year (same set of softcover Masterworks editions, v.1-10), and it was actually a painful chore and a slog to get through them (absolutely LOVE Kirbys art throughout it, though!).
But Peter & Spidey seem to emerge almost fully formed right from the get-go in these earliest issues, and it is just an absolute joy to read even if it is a bit repetitive at times. I can really see how the book shattered a lot of even simpler “norms” of that period, and I think it’s just awesome for it.
I am *very* excited to get up into the issues from the #200’s after I complete these trades though (I think they run up to around issue 80?).

Re: What comics are you reading now?
I was all-in on this one but I couldn't keep up with the delays and status and I'm so lost on it that now I don't care. Seriously - in many ways your post made me realized this has been delayed. I figured I forgot to add it to my pull list and never got it ordered and just missed it. Hell, I just looked at my inventory while making this post and I was surprised to find that I've got the first three issues here, although I'm not even sure where they're at on that book anymore.ShadowTuga wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:34:12 pm TMNT- The Last Ronin- Good comic for old time and new tmnt fans, since its a standalone who reads great by itself, no need to know anything about the turtles, except the very basics. Hate the constant delays, but i'm all in until it ends.
Beyond that, the order I placed on 09/16 was for three books. That's it.
Iron Man #25 - the final issue of this amazing Cantwell run
Ronin Book Two #1 - I loved the original mini-series and was surprised this was being released so... ordered
Batman & The Joker #1 - When Silvestri does a top tier book of any kind, I buy it
Next month's order should contain the new volume of Iron Man with a new #1. The only reason I bring this up is to point out how Marvel has drained me dry, even when it comes to "Iron Man". I have a deeply built Iron Man collection - the kind where I buy every variant I find and have Direct Market, Newsstands, Mark Jeweler's, etc. My point is that I'm not ordering the variants for this "relaunch". At all.
I'm sick of it, sick of Marvel's predatory releases and sick of the agendas that lose readership but Marvel just creates more variants to compensate. So now I order even Iron Man as one book and whatever the most 'normal' cover is. I will not be buying Marvel's cash grab covers anymore at the order point. It's bad enough they pad the sales with variants to compensate for readership loss, but last month looking at Spider-Man or She-Hulk on my Iron Man cover when they have nothing to do with the content was enough for me.
If someday I'm at a convention and I find the variants I'll be missing and they are cheap and way, way, way after buying them affects the order levels then maybe I'll pick them up. Right now I've got a ridiculous 1st place set of Cafu and Cantwell's books on the census, and even that isn't complete as 9.8 - but that is my last hurrah, possibly forever.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
Good God what was I thinking? That must be.... well no. Maybe it's not my fascism. It could be "the" white supremacists - it's definitely them. Unless it's "the" misogynists. It could be the misogynists.... unless it's the supremely-white-misogynists in which case it's definitely the supremely-white-misogynists and not the regular ones. The misogynists I mean. It's them. They. Them. Or it's you, I dunno.... I'm not sure.
Oddly enough I hadn't even considered that before pulling the trigger on the order. Next month I'll also pick up whatever regular release there is of Capullo's upcoming Batman/Spawn book too. But not diving in for the 400 variant covers of that either. It's posters, man. We are buying posters with a cover price of 5.95 or whatever every month now. But I'll gladly fish those things out of convention bins someday at 4 for two dollars or whatever.tarheelmarine wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 6:09:45 pm I think I will get the Silvestri book in the trade.

Re: What comics are you reading now?
Still haven’t read it yet - my copy got misplaced in my basement last month while I was working on purging out a lot of (non-collectibles) clutter. Still haven’t found it, but I did pick up the second issue anyway - I’m assuming I’ll enjoy it enough to keep reading it.tarheelmarine wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:32:19 amWhat did you think?grendeljd wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 12:00:39 amI picked that up but haven’t read it yet - looking forward to it though!tarheelmarine wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 6:39:53 pmJunkyard Joe was a good read.tarheelmarine wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 8:38:09 pm Geiger concluded (well done) and looking forward to the expansion of this universe.
