What Comics Are You Currently Following?
 

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 Walking Dead
TMNT

Red Hood & the Outlaws
Batman
The Flash
Animosity
Deadly Class
Saga (but I'm behind...)

That's my consistent pull list.

Mostly Image but here is the list
Walking Dead
Saga
Runaways
Invincible
Deadly Class(that 4 month haitus is going to be a pain)
I hate fairyland
TMNT
Extremity
Southern Bastards
East of West
Manga
Promised Neverland
Dr Stone
One punch man
One piece
My hero academia
Attack on titan

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 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


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

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

Is that what happened to Southern Bastards? It killed the old guy, introduced his daughter... and then fell off a cliff. :tlol:

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.

Careful now Cubed, let's not turn this into another "My, how the times have changed" thread :lol:

I'd recommend checking out TPBs at your library or the bookstore to find stuff you might be interested in

Afterlife With Archie
Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows
Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands
Captain America
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica
Mister Miracle
Super Sons
Supergirl
Wonder Woman/Conan

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.

Seven to Eternity and Birthright

Just got hooked on both of them and powered through the back issues. Awesome stuff!

IDW
Ninja Turtles
Ninja Turtles Universe

DC
Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps
Batgirl

Marvel
Spider-man: Renew Your Vows
Star Wars

Mini-series:
TMNT/Ghostbusters
TMNT/Batman 2 (upcoming)
Doomsday Clock (upcoming)

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

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.

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

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

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

IDW Tmnt -physical & digital
IDW TmntU -physical & digital
Tmnt/GB 2 -physical & digital

Super Sons -physical (digital included)

Walking Dead -digital only

Batman/Tmnt 2 -added to pull-list & pre-ordered on comixology


some of the back issue runs i like to revisit and re-read

Legends of the Dark Knight (1989)
Mirage Tmnt vol.1
Image Tmnt (vol. 3)
Grant Morrison's JLA (1997)
Morrison's Batman run #655-658, 663-683, 700-702, B&R 1-16, BatmanInc 1-8, BatmanInc2 1-10, 12-13
New 52 Batman&Robin (2011)
Samurai (Marvel)
Samurai (Titan) vol. 1 & 2
Kick-Ass Vol. 1-3
Mirage Tales of the Tmnt v.1
Mirage Tmnt vol. 2

Yes, I got it pre-ordered and got the intel from you about three weeks ago. Thanks.

Yes, that is the correct description of Doomsday Clock. I have not been following the DC Universe closely since the New 52 initiative, but this has caught my interest.

This has a handful of solid arcs, but no Robin or Batgirl. I say if its a look at Batman's early career include them too!

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.

there actually were some Robin stories.

there was an arc called grimm.

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_Leg...ight_Vol_1_149

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20090105170847

and issue #100 was a retelling of Dick Grayson's origin

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_Leg...ight_Vol_1_100

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20090105164044

Umbrella Academy is great, I read those a month or two back.

Just finished reading James Tynion IV's "Memetic." That... that was creepy AF, fellas. Seriously messed up.

Tom King's Mister Miracle
She-Hulk
Venom
Love and Rockets

I'm intrigued...


And I'm jealous you just read Umbrella Academy some months ago, I've been waiting for the next installment for nine years.

Go read Memetic. It's only 3 issues. One of the creepiest things I've read in awhile, just because of that damned Good Times Sloth. :tlol:

I think I will check that out, you've piqued my interest Cylons.


I just read through the back issues of Curse Words, and I gotta say I don't think I've enjoyed burning through everything available in a series so far since Saga.

I checked out the first couple issues of Curse Words, but it wasn't enough to keep me going.

Anybody pick up anything new or read anything particularly good this week?

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

I got the newest issue of Rat Queens, it was pretty good and I enjoyed the 30's/40s cartoon homage during the second half

Nice. I have been rereading my old back issues of Rat Queens so I can continue on with the newly-numbered series. I have read a couple of the new issues though, the backup stories have been pretty good. That old school animation homage sounds cool.

I only pull TMNT and TMNT universe.

But anytime I see a deal for Ultimate X-men or ultimate spiderman I will pick up the TPBs for cheap. I will eventually finish both series.

Also if anyone is a fan of Berserk check out Vinland Saga, its more grounded than Berserk but it will feed your sword and warfare needs

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.

A new issue of Southern Bastards was finally released today. Anybody who's lived in a town that bleeds for its high school football should check it out.

So, I recall somewhere that I said that I'd always wanted to read Saga, but wasn't able to get it.

Turns out, my brother had the first book in the house this whole time.

And I'm very glad for the $10 price, since it's now on my reading list even more than before.
