What Else Are We Reading

Postby MJStarchilde » Fri Apr 27, 2012 1:30 am

Ok, this topic has nothing to do with XMen but I like when the guys talk about other books they are checking out. Because of everyones suggestions I was able to read all of "Y The Last Man", "The Sword" and finally now "The Walking Dead".

So new stuff I picked up a couple of weeks ago were "Secret Service" by Mike Millar and "Smoke and Mirrors" by Mike Costa. I enjoyed both and will probably continue to read.

I think Smoke and Mirrors is supposed to be a 5 issue mini so probably can be picked up in trade later if anyones interested. The next issue will be #3.


Secret Service, ah man, had the best opening that I can not even spoil for anyone. Check it out.


Also I start Amazing Spiderman again at #684, I miss reading Spidey.
I can kill you with my brain!!!

I'm just reading Walking Dead and X-Men right now. I decided 5 years ago to read everything X from Uncanny #1 forward. I'm in 1999 right now and just about every book is terrible so it's taking me a while to slog through it. It'll be fun when I get to 2004 so I can start listening to the X-Cast again and actually know what they are talking about on On Shevles Now.

I heard Kick Ass is really good, will probably check that out soon.

Thanks to the miracle of the internet, I read all the comics. But the ones I'm enjoying most are Spider-Man, Daredevil, Peter Panzerfaust, Batman, the GI Joe comics, Swamp Thing, Saga, and Fantastic Four.

Right now, other than X stuff, I'm pretty heavy in Marvel stuff. All the Avengers books, Avengers Academy is a really good one.

Spider-man has been great under Dan Slott recently; I started getting that a few months ago after being a very occasional Spider-man person. Scarlet Spider is good too.

DC stuff, I get Green Lantern, out of habit more than anything.....other than that, the only "new-52" title I've tried and stuck with is Teen Titans. Kind of an interesting reboot, pretty much a "borrow" though.

I want to read Rasl, but I can't deal with the "whenever I feel like it" approach. I'll grab it once it's done and collected.

It takes a lot of boredom for me to deviate from my strictly X-men/Wolverine/Spider-man/Deadpool routine.

I got into Walking Dead comics after watching the first season. Since then I've read Scalped, Axe Cop, and recently Y: the Last Man, based off the recommendations by Earths Mightiest Podcast, and those were all awesome.

I tried getting into the entire New 52. By the end of the first month, I had cut my DC reading list in half, and by 3 months I had given up on all of it. After enjoying some of the Clone Wars episodes, I decided to get in to some Star Wars comics and started with the some of the 90's Old Republic comics by Anderson. It's not going so well. The art is hideous, and the narrative is like a wordier convoluted Claremont. I hope this is not the way all 90's Star Wars comics go, because it been a chore getting through this part.

I've been reading Bendis and Bagley's Brilliant, Mostley because I'm loyal to Bagley. Good art, but the story is moving incredibly slow.
Its my favourite characters' universe. Your favourite characters just live in it.

I only read the X-men weekly and everything else in trades. So the trades I've been staying up with: The Walking Dead, Scapled, Chew, Locke and Key, Irredeemable, Batman. I know I'm forgetting something and will add it later.

I'm currently reading quite a bit of comic

Marvel: all the x-books, age of apocalypse, avengers vs. x-men, defenders, incredible hulk, John Carter mini series, scarlet spider, secret avengers, venom, winter soldier

Indie: Adventure Time, danger club, hell yeah, invincible, manhattan projects, saga, ragemoor, secret, walking dead, rebel blood mini series

I also just finished all the trades of fear agent and I loved them

I’m enjoying most of the titles I read but the ones that stand out the most right now would be scarlet spider, saga, wolverine and the x-men, venom, invincible and danger club

I quit reading anything by DC once they started the new 52

X-men fans should read moon knight yes it has ended but moon knight has the same message as x-men, the main character mark speceter has a mental illness, but does he try and cure it, no he uses what makes him different to help people,
