What titles do you currently read?

[DredJAw]

Since this is a new forum, this might be a good thread to start off with to see what interests people. It might spark up some activity just by seeing if someone reads what you do.

My monthly must read list:

- Ultimate Spider-Man
- Amazing Spider-Man
- Punisher MAX
- Daredevil
- X-Men
- Astonishing X-Men
- Batman/Detective Comics

I'm going to read the first 8 of All-Star Superman and make a judgement whether I should add that to the list. Also, likely going to add Uncanny X-Men since I need more X fix.

And you...?

I'm not a huge active reader anymore, but I have the first 7 or 8 books of the Ultimate X-Men series. I haven't had time to go pick up the newer ones yet, though.

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

The first 7 were the best, #7 1st nightcrawler is probably the best issue of the whole run.

 

[GAZZA]

Transformers
Silversurfer
New Avengers

 

[quincy]

It's tapered considerably in recent years. However:
Immortal Iron Fist
PS238
Powers
Fear Agent
The Boys

That's all I actively pick up month to month right now. Five years ago, that list was 30 books long. I'm also following the World War Hulk storyline. Yeah, it might be stupid but I've been wanting to see Hulk cut loose on the self-declared monitors of superherodom for quite some time.

I also tend to buy a lot of trades. I'm not patient enough to follow a lot of stuff month-to-month. I'd rather just buy a trade and read it.

Ordered the Daredevil TPB's last night. If they're as good as you say, I may have a regular monthly title again

 

[DredJAw]

Steve- I've been wanthing to check out Immortal Iron Fist now because its being currently written by Brubaker . I think they are at issue #8. Guys my favourite writer and he did something interesting with Danny Rand, the Fist, in Daredevil so I wanted to check out his take on him.

Chris- Which TPB's did you order? I'll see if you need to know something going in.

 

[vegaspuck]

I got the three suggested:

Murdoch Papers
Inside & Out 1 & 2

 

[DredJAw]

Yup, those are the exact 3 I would recommend to anybody. It's essentially 1 big event. I suggest reading each arc in 1 sitting though... to be honest I don't know how anyone could put them down in mid-read anyways.

Let me know when you've read them.

 

[DredJAw]

Oh and you probably have to know that in Daredevil #50, DD beat the crap out of Fisk/the Kingpin almost killing him infront of the "underground" mob world and declared himself the new Kingpin. They now take orders from him. I'm sure they allude to that quite a bit.

 

[quincy]

Daredevil was being portrayed by the Iron Fist for a while, yes?

And you should definitely pick up the current series. Brubaker and Fraction are delivering an immensely entertaining read.

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

editing for Chris

 

[DredJAw]

way to give the story away to Chris who just ordered the TPB's

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

Editing for Chris, don't want to ruin the story for him.

 

[Bruinsneedagoalie]

My pull list is small:

The Boys (the most awesome book since Preacher)
JLA
JSA
Countdown
Green Lantern
GL Corp
Gen 13
Runaways

and there's usually 1 or 2 minis going at any time that i'm reading.

going thru the trades for Walking Dead and Y: The Last Man right now.

 

[DredJAw]

How's Booster Gold? I picked up the 1st issue and will give it a read.

I'm not very familiar with the character though.

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

He got revived in the DC 52 series. It will take a few issues for me to decide if i will continue to collect it or drop it.

 

[Bruinsneedagoalie]

I like Booster Gold so far.

It's a good vehicle for him as a B character. He's got to stay in the shadows and the time travel/alternate earth aspects of having to work with Rip Hunter should allow for some cool x-overs.

Looking forward to next month's issue with Jonah Hex.
