The Comic Book Thread (spoilers)

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, that's basically exactly what I'm buying, except also Saga and Astro City.

[TKz]

You guys should check out Nova. Seriously fun comic that's only a few issues in. I mean it's not as incredible as Hawkeye, but what is?

[GoGo Yubari]

Doesn't Jeph Loeb write that? I basically hate him.

Oh yeah I forgot Saga. Still reading 4 then. What is Astro City? Seems like a bunch on here read it

Yeah, I hate him as well (his earlier stuff up to Superman/Batman I don't mind, even loving some, like Spider-Man: Blue, for instance), but his work has been declining in the last few years (Ultimatum and his work on the Hulk comics were God-awful), but to my amazement, Nova really has been fun. I agree with TKz, you should give it a look.

[TKz]

Yeah, I can't speak to his past work, but Nova is lovely. As a huge Richard Rider fan, I was ready to hate, but I'm actually enjoy it a fair bit. Guardians of the Galaxy is okay too.

I liked Hush. Was it him that did that? If not then everything I've read of his sucked

Yeah, that was him as well. It was enjoyable, but I honestly didn't think it was anything special.

Astro City is a city full of superheroes and it tells their different stories. It's excellent, but I'd reccommend checking out the trades first as it's got a lot of it's own mythology and #1 of the new series dives right back into it without much introduction.

On an unrelated note, how is it that there's two books called Six Gun Gorilla? And how I am supposed to choose which one to follow!?

[Your Mom]

Anyone who was interested like me you can get the very first issue of the first Astro City series for free on comixology

[Your Mom]

So...naked Superman huh? Was a good issue but a damn odd way to start

[=BK=]

Walking Dead

Holy shit he has a tiger.

[TKz]

I haven't paid much attention to DC lately, what's the deal with Zero Year Batman?

[Horus]

I'm in a super natural vibe lately, outside Blade and Ghost Rider, are there any other supernatural based characters in Marvel worth checking out?

Oh yeah, and forget Doctor Strange as well, I could never get into him, and I dont even think Bruce Camobell himself could change that.

Got into one of my fleeting comic book kicks after Man of Steel and read Red Son along with For All Seasons. I'd like to get back into monthly issues, which I haven't done in 2 years or so. Anything worth jumping into right now?

[Your Mom]

If you like Superman they just launched a new title for him. Haven't read it but the writer is good

Basically just Scott Snyder writing his part in the origin story of Batman, kinda. He is writing Batman during his early years.

[=BK=]

Started reading Batgirl. It's really good. It's the only New 52 Bat title I've really started on.

[Gabriel]

Started reading Batgirl. It's really good. It's the only New 52 Bat title I've really started on.

Which is a damn shame. The whole Court of Owls story that runs through Batman and Nightwing is fantastic. Haven't read anything since then, but those first issues are great.

I picked up the first Justice League Dark trade and I love it so far. Also, my local library has like 8 volumes of Fables, so I'm checking out the first two at the moment.
