I know we have a thread for books we're currently reading but I was hoping we could get one started specifically for comic book series, maybe we can get it stickied.

Feel free to share what comic series you're currently reading, what series you dropped due to disinterest, upcoming series you're looking forward to, or all-time favorite series you think others would enjoy. I look forward to hearing about some new comic series.

The Only Comic I am really "following" is the Original Hellblazer run of John Constantine. Trying to get all 300 Issues.

In December I am gonna try All New GOTG and if I like that I will follow that comic series.

Other than that just reading Daredevil and a Jonah Hex Comic I got

Currently I'm pulling:

TMNT
TMNTU
TMNT/Ghostbusters II
B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know
Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.
Paper Girls
Saga
Southern Bastards
and everything tied-into the DC Dark Nights: Metal (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=58819) event (note: it's really good!)

I was reading Dr. Strange and Deadpool but both have lost my interest so I think I'm going to take a break for a while, see where the stories go and if I want to get caught back up



Saga (but I'm behind...)


What's the last issue you read?? Things have gotten so crazy, but it's still managing to be so good


East of West


How have the recent arcs been in East of West? I fell off a while back, but I'm thinking I might catch up through the trades.

Saga, I last left off when they arrived at the western steampunk abortionist planet. What a description. :tlol:

East of West, I don't even remember where I left off... Southern Bastards I trailed off with, too... Paper Girls I tried but couldn't get into. Too weird.

I Hate Fairyland is awesome. :tlol:

As far as actual physical comic books, just TMNT and TMNT Universe. I’m kinda on a budget and can’t really afford to buy any more than that.
I used to read Archie’s Megaman comic but that was put “on hiatus” (more like forever canceled) and I’m behind on Invader Zim since the website I download ‘em from’s been acting up recently.

On the manga side, Watamote, D-Frag, Cupid’s Chocolates, and the physical volumes of Haganai and Oregairu whenever they come out.

Yeah, if I pick East of West back up I'll need to start the series over to refresh my memory.

Southern Bastards suffered a series of unfortunate delays due to deaths on both halves of the creative teams families. I think its resumed regular releases though.

Paper Girls is a lot better when you can read several story arcs at once. It would be worth checking out if they have the trades at your local library.

I've seen solicits for I Hate Fairyland but I've never read it. I may check it out one day

I only follow TMNT and Usagi Yojimbo, but for the latter I wait for trades and don't pick up single issues.

I don't have time or money to pick up comics otherwise. I won't get into a series from DC or Marvel due to constant reboots or retcons/relaunches.

Comic books feel like they're becoming an outdated medium, but at least now you can buy them digitally on ipads or phones and such. Still I don't see it worth the time.

TMNT is of course an exception, thank god IDW is as good as it is.

Yeah, pretty sucky. I felt bad when I found out. Anyways, there are issues schedules for early December and January and I believe they're the start of the final countdown for the series. I appreciate a series that tells a concise story and doesn't ramble on for years if it doesn't have the energy to do anything compelling.

Once I feel a series is rambling on, I drop it. It's why I keep losing interest with Saga then getting back to it, and why I dropped East to West and a few others.

I'm pretty selective, but I love the books I do follow:

Doom Patrol - Gerard Way, Nick Derington

Miracle Man - Tom King, Mitch Gerards

Seven to Eternity - Rick Remender, Jerome Opena

I would easily recommend these three to anyone. Loving them and hoping for hardcover collections.

I'm a big fan of Marvel, but they aren't putting anything out I love.

Spider-Man/Deadpool


How do you feel about Spider-Man/Deadpool recently? I really liked the Itsy Bitsy story but the last issue felt really... I dunno, regressive? Like they want to erase the development that's taken place between Pool and Spidey. Not sure if I'll keep following along

In the next volume it showed Couch Boss's backstory and it later became an anthology series focusing on the townsfolk.


I believe that they are showcasing all the various townspeople who want Coach Boss dead, and the current arc, "Gut Check", is the second to last one.


Afterlife with Archie
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Jughead the Hunger
Godzilla IDW

How do you like these titles? I've been thinking of getting into IDW's Godzilla series for a while now but keep forgetting. Same thing with the paranormal Archie titles

Afterlife With Archie
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica
Wonder Woman/Conan

What about you, how do you like these titles? I love crossovers so I was thinking of getting caught up on Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica and Wonder Woman/Conan. If there was a new Red Sonja crossover I'd probably read that too


TMNT/Batman 2 (upcoming)
Doomsday Clock (upcoming)

Don't know if you heard yet, but TMNT/Batman II #1 will come out December 6th and #2 December 20th

Doomsday Clock will deal with the Watchmen universe 's incursion into the DC universe, right? I might check that out

How do you like Doom Patrol? I love Gerard Way's first comic series, Umbrella Academy. But I've been waiting almost a decade for him to give us the next volume :cry:

And I agree about Marvel, I'm probably taking all their titles off my pull list for a while

I feel like right now Marvel is winning at movies and sucking at comics and at DC its vice versa

I'm starting to think they will wait to release volume 3 of Umbrealla Academy so there can be some Netflix synergy when the show drops.

Doom Patrol is great. It's easy to recommend to a fan of Umbrella Academy.

I caught up on the two thus-far released issues of the new story arc in Snotgirl; the series is way different from my usual fare but the writing and art have been consistently good and the latest issue made me laugh several times. The mystery keeps getting more mysterious.

I also checked out the first issue of Void Trip, released today. Pretty interesting. I've met a lot of people like Ana and Gabe in my time (at times I've been like them myself) so I feel a certain kinship with this series already. I'm curious to see if the series can keep up that feeling

Just caught up on Dark Fang #3. It's a series about a vampire who spent a lot of time living at the bottom of the sea, just chilling with her sea animal friends, but then she returns to the world above due to facing the effects of mankind's rampant pollution. The art was kinda jarring at first because it seems like it was made for a digital flash cartoon or something so it may take some getting used to, but now I like it a lot because it lends itself well to visualizing the movement in each panel. Anyways, check it out, some of you might like it.

You bet your left foot, it's good stuff!

What I'd like is to get the gigantic volumes, but alas, I only have the little books.



Age of Bronze is another comic line I would like to finish. It's basically just The Illiad told from an extremely historically accurate perspective and...very, very life-like art style. My high school only had the first two books, so I was never able to get the third.

Castle Waiting is another I'd like to finish, thought it's tragically on hiatus do to the writer/artist having some health issues. I haven't read the second volume yet, but I know that it hasn't answered an extremely important question...
Who is Pindar's father, damn it!? Don't leave us hanging, man!

That aside, I love how it goes onto the backstories of all the characters, but Sister Patience's is certainly the absolute most wild. It's one of the ones I remember most distinctly.

And I'm gradually going through getting the Amulet books when I can. It's kind of like putting Bone, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and various Studio Ghibli movies in a blender, and it works surprisingly well.

What new comics did everybody read this week? Here's what I read:

Dark Fang #4: pretty good; the artwork keeps getting better and the story is picking up speed. Really curious to see how it plays out

Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt: sets everything up for the finale next month. Not the strongest installment of this event series, but still good.

Marvel Two-in-One #3: decent issue. I love the Fantastic Four so I'm eager to see how Ben and Johnny go about trying to find Reed, Sue, and the kids.

Curse Words #11: another good issue. The story is starting to get really complicated (in a good way) and a lot of revelations are on the horizon. Can't wait to see what's up with the Hole World and Sizajee.

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows#16: Wasn't a big fan of Annie's "moody teen" depiction but I loved Peter's stabs at teaching outdated jargon to kids about photography

Action Comics#997: Loved it more for the portions with Lois and Jon breaking Sam Lane out of prison, and that shock cliffhanger of course

Invincible (finale): Kirkman can write happy endings after all. Loved the fake-out with Atom and seeing Mark's daughter grow up

Deadly Class is back after... four months? Five months?

I read it, but I can't say I enjoyed it. It's gone through so many hiatuses, I don't remember a lot of the secondary characters or what is even going on.

Also Red Hood and the Outlaws, which is... disappointing at the moment. The first two story arcs were nothing short of spectacular, but ever since Bizarro got smart, it's just been a meandering bore. Still sticking with it, though, hoping it picks back up.

Extended, unplanned hiatuses really suck. Southern Bastards has been suffering from them for a while now so I know what you mean about totally forgetting what's going on with ancillary characters.

I also sympathize with you regarding less-than-stellar stories from the Big Two. Dr. Strange, Deadpool, and Spider-Man/Deadpool have all been kinda sucks lately but it would just be too weird to not have any Marvel titles on my pull list.

I hate that, a good story with terrible art. I've read a number of comics where I've thought "Damn, this writing is great but I wish the art was better". Sometimes I can even think of a particular artist who I wish would have done art duties.

If anybody's interested in the character, the "Thanos Wins" arc in the current Thanos comic series has been pretty good so far. Issue #17 came out last week and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Issue #18 is the final part of the story arc and comes out April 11th.

This story arc is also where the new Cosmic Ghost Rider character debuted (a mad version of Frank "The Punisher" Castle from the future), who will also star in the Thanos Annual coming out April 25th.

I've really been enjoying Marvel Two-in-One so far. Probably my favorite Marvel comic at the moment. The fact that Chip Zdarsky isn't writing for the upcoming Fantastic Four series is a darn shame, he really nails the characterization for Ben, Johnny, and Victor.

Yeah, the Marvel Two-in-One series has been good. The Annual from a couple weeks ago was really enjoyable. I'm excited for the new Fantastic Four series, even if there's a different creative team. That's actually the only Marvel series I'm pulling right now. I'll wait and see if the new Avengers, Black Panther, and Dr. Strange series are worth reading once the first trade is collected. But I need a break from Spider-Man and Deadpool.

Other series I'm following right now or will be in the near future:

Cosmic Ghost Rider
Curse Words
Dark Fang
Justice League Dark
Justice League Odyssey
Saga (last issue was crazy yo)
Southern Bastards
TMNT
TMNTU

I'm only currently following TMNT, TMNT, and TMNT. I do pick up Usagi trades when they come out too but don't follow the single issues.

Anyone else reading Old Man Hawkeye, its pretty awesome side story and it explores more into the Old Man Logan mythos.

I ran out of interest for Usagi. I like Usagi, but I like a storyline that builds and then concludes better. The series just seems to go on and on and on...

Now, if the Jei storyline ever concludes, I'll tune back in. I really wanted to see some sort of grand finale to that character!

Usagi is written like Japanese manga, it's intended to go on forever until the writer loses interest and decides to conclude it. Makes sense since Sakai is Japanese.

I mean there are tons of Japanese manga that end so I don't see how the connection makes any sense

They end when the creator wants it to end. Unlike western comics by DC or Marvel that go on forever and have constantly changing writers and creative teams.

Stan Sakai is the only person who writes and draws every main Usagi comic, it's like Japanese manga where one writer handles the whole series. If Sakai wants Usagi to end, it'll end for good, no other writers will be able to make another Usagi comic. The only time someone else does write Usagi is of course his crossovers in TMNT cartoons.

My current pull list is:

DC:
Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps
Batgirl
Doomsday Clock
Justice League latest volume

Marvel:
Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows
Star Wars

IDW:
Ninja Turtles
Any Ninja Turtles secondary book be it TMNT Universe or a mini


Boom!:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Hal Jordan and The Green Lanterns is canceled after August's issue 50 and will be released by Green Lantern by Grant Morrison which I will continue to pull.

TMNT Universe is also cancelled in August with #25. I will continue with the succeeding seondary titles it will be replaced by.

I am dropping Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with issue #30. My favorite character was killed and the focus is shifted away from the original six which is why I was reading it. I am not replacing this, but if the original six returns to focus I will pick it up again.

Did you read the infamously spoiled #50, Cylons? How was that "wedding" issue and all the build-up to it? I'd been thinking of catching up on that through trades

Anyone else reading Old Man Hawkeye, its pretty awesome side story and it explores more into the Old Man Logan mythos.

I was gonna check out Old Man Hawkeye but then I figured I should probably finally get around to reading Old Man Logan first

Every now and then I re-read some of my favorite Donald Duck comics.

Donald Duck comics are underrated treasures. You ever read any Uncle Scrooge comics? I have some old favorites from when I was a kid

My current pull list is:

DC:
Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps
Batgirl
Doomsday Clock
Justice League latest volume


What issue is Doomsday Clock up to now? Wasn't it hit with some lengthy delays?

I've been liking the new Justice League series so far, I'm eager to see what other mysterious hidden forces have been unlocked by the breaking of the Source Wall

Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes

How is the new Avengers series? I need to get caught up, I've only read the first two. I want to see what's up with the 1,000,000 years BC Avengers

Also I wanna check out the Infinity Warps miniseries with the mash-up characters that's coming out soon

It lived down to my expectations. In my opinion, Tom King is hugely overrated and probably his own biggest fan. Every time he entices me with an interesting setup or beginning of an arc (I Am Suicide, I Am Bane, War of Jokes and Riddles, the wedding), he always ends up pissing me off with the execution or the endgame.

I cherry-pick the issues I read by him now... haven't entirely cut off the Batman series, but considering it. The wedding issue was just... boring. And, of course, enraging. And the last page seems like a "trust me, guys, I'll make it all up to you and worth it in the end!" kinduva thing.

My thoughts, basically? "Aw, fvck you." You had the chance to do something amazing, and you didn't. But I'll give the man credit--he does what he wants, and he obviously believes in the stories he's writing. I admire that. I hate his stories, but I kinda admire the man for writing them.

ADDED: Oh, and for the record, I hated the whole Grayson series, too. Superspy James Bond Dick Grayson... again, I admire the man for doing something bold and different, but I despised it.

Man, I read part of one issue of The War of Jokes and Riddles and man, that is the perfect way to describe it; you hear a title like that and think it would be something so cool and then the execution is just totally botched or the plot is just absolutely wack

The "we're gonna make it alllll worth it!" promise is the most-broken vow in comics


Anybody got any nice panels to share? This cover of Harley Quinn is pretty great, I'm tuning in for this story arc at least since it seems like it'll be enjoyably madcap and crazy

Here's what I read yeaterday:

TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady Hit the Road #1
(freaking great start to the miniseries)
Cosmic Ghost Rider #2
(a really cool look at a timeline where Frank Castle dies, becomes a Ghost Rider, then the Herald of Galactus, then the Right Hand of the Black King Thanos in the future, then dies again and goes to Valhalla until Odin kicks him out for being unhappy, so he goes to the past to kill Thanos as a baby, but instead he decides to raise and rehabilitate him)
Justice League #5
(Part I of a story about Lex Luthor forming the Legion of Doom)
Paper Girls #23
(so much has happened/is happening/will happen soon in this series I can't even explain, but if you're unfamiliar with the series and like 80s movies and time travel then I'd recommend it)
TMNTU #25
(probably the best issue of the series, RIP)
Harley Quinn #47
(the conclusion to the Harley Quinn vs. Apokolips storyline)

All in all a great week for the series I read. What about y'all?

Just read issue #4 of The Batman Who Laughs. The story has been pretty good so far; it continues some plot threads introduced in last year’s Dark Night: Metal event series. There was also a one-shot comic released last month, The Grim Knight. If you’ve ever wondered what Batman would be like if he was mixed with the Punisher, well, look no more.

The Only Comic I am really "following" is the Original Hellblazer run of John Constantine. Trying to get all 300 Issues.

In December I am gonna try All New GOTG and if I like that I will follow that comic series.

Other than that just reading Daredevil and a Jonah Hex Comic I got

Adding to this list. I am following The new Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes graphic novels the Infinity Countdown graphic novels and basically anything gerry duggan is writing. I am interested in Savage Avengers and War of the Relms. Also been reading Mirage TMNT which is fantastic

I just read the latest Tales of the Dark Multiverse one-shot (they tie-in to the story arc going-on in the current Justice League title), which was a twist on Crisis of Infinite Earth. It was the weakest of the bunch for me so far, but I never read the original event so I was totally unfamiliar with the basic plot beats. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold just always seemed to me like third-rate characters
