Adam Warren's Empowered is basically just a fetish comic, although some people keep insisting it's also got writing in it. "Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose" is Boobs: The Comic, but is famously terribly written. You're probably better off just reading actual porno.

For all the people who will be asking about the GotG reading order: The team that you saw in the movie is in the most recent BMB run, the big Annihilation/Conquest Guardians run has the six movie GotG people, but in the team are 4-6 more people who weren't in the film. They are absolutely worth reading but when I read the 2008-on cosmic run earlier this summer I was a bit confused at first. Now for a question: are the Aliens and Predator comics any good and are they collected anywhere?

I own all the Aliens omniboo, and they're mostly pretty drat good for licensed comics. Last year I wrote a series of posts summarizing the first couple of volumes that act as a continuation of Aliens, but were written before Alien 3 killed off Hicks and Newt. Check it out if you're interested, those stories are pretty fun (you might need archives). The AvP comics are very hit and miss as far as I can understand.

I recently read an old Aliens miniseries, Stronghold by John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke, cause I'm an old The Mask fan. It was stupid fun. One of the main characters is a talking, cigar smoking Alien android. https://digital.darkhorse.com/profile/2969.aliens-stonghold/

I've been thinking about rebuilding some of my old Star Wars collection at some point in the future and the omniboo look like the way to go, both price- and content-wise. Only thing is, I've heard stuff about the books themselves not always being great quality.

I've got like 15-20 of them, and the only one I had problems with was one where the glue came off the front cover, but I just glued it back again myself. I'd like it if they were bigger, but the amount of pages you get for that price can't be beat.

Actually, it's later, as an epilogue to issue #23. FYI, the JLA Deluxe Edition TPB omits that epilogue. I remember being terribly confused when the first issue of 1 Mill said "As seen in JLA #23" and I had no idea what they were talking about. I looked it up, and here's what the wiki says: "The final two pages, which lead into the DC One Million crossover, are missing from nearly every subsequent reprint and re-release of this issue, namely the JLA: Strength in Numbers trade paperback, the JLA Vol. 3 trade paperback and even the digital version available via ComiXology. (The pages are also not included in the DC One Million trade paperback, the JLA One Million reprint or the DC One Million Omnibus hardcover or trade paperback collections). The only reprint of this issue that does include those two pages is the JLA Deluxe Edition Vol. 3 hardcover."

I still feel alienated by most Marvel stuff that's off the street level but holy heck Immortal Iron Fist got dope. I really expected all its mystic hoodoo to turn me off, but that hasn't been the case yet. I don't even know what to ask for because "more stuff like this!" may not be what I'm even after. The whole thing has just been so drat huge and fun and colorful without getting too dumb. Any suggestions of where I can go from here? Been reading Hawkeye already and it's a joy for different reasons.

The whole thing has just been so drat huge and fun and colorful without getting too dumb. Any suggestions of where I can go from here? Been reading Hawkeye already and it's a joy for different reasons. Have you read Daredevil yet? There are four important writers: Frank Miller (early '80s, returned in the mid-'80s for "Born Again," arguably the best DD story ever, and then wrote the Man Without Fear origin miniseries in the early '90s) Brian Michael Bendis (2000s) Ed Brubaker (2000s, picked up directly where Bendis left off) Mark Waid (2010s) I think you might like Bendis' DD run, starting with DD Volume 2 #26, and if you enjoy that, seek out the rest. Bendis and Brubaker are street-level all the way, Miller is mostly, and Waid has a good blend of street-level superheroics mixing with the larger Marvel Universe. Bendis' New Avengers Volume 1 is also good if you prefer your superheroes lower-powered and relatively grounded. It ran from 2004-2010 and was pretty much Marvel's flagship book during those years, tying into several major company-wide events. Most of the events are skippable, but it's my favorite Avengers era ever. There are still aliens, gods, and monsters, but the team remains underdogs throughout most of it.

It's actually the first thing the thread recommended to me when I asked for street-level. (Which is fine! Nobody's asking you to keep tabs on my posts from weeks ago.) Bendis started and ended great, imo, but everything in between felt like it was either a holding pattern made to keep pushing out issues once they established the main plot points and/or was just some Passion of the Christ flagellation. Really, Kingpin was excellent and the rest I just kinda dealt with. I loved Brubaker's stuff through the escape from Riker's but lost interest quickly after.

I don't want to oversell it, but you should definitely check out the Frank Miller stuff. I love "Born Again" to death. And if you want Passion of the Christ flagellation, that's a pretty good description of Daredevil for a good while after Frank Miller finished there in the '80s. It seemed like every other issue was all about DD trying to recover from some ridiculous multilation.

Been reading Hawkeye already and it's a joy for different reasons. Oh and also the current ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by IDW. It gives off the same awesome vibes with killer twists on the traditional TMNT story. The easiest way to try it and see if you like it is read the Microseries Leonardo issue. As well as the main series issues each month there is usually a side issue released a month too, either part of a miniseries or stand alone micro issues based on just one character. Leonardos micro issue gives the best taste of the series as a whole without spoiling too much plot. I believe it takes place, story wise, around issue 8. The whole series on sale right now on Comixology too, If you do get into it, reading order is basically 1-20, the Secret History of the Foot Clan miniseries then 21-36. Everything else (stand alone micro issues, other miniseries etc) can be read after you finish the main line.

I actually don't want flagellation and that was a big turnoff for much of the Bendis run. In between the excellent bookends with the Kingpin, it was so much Daredevil getting flayed or Matt Murdock being an idiot. I'm fine with selling that someone's going through hell, but like lurid brutality isn't my thing. I had to stop the 2006 Moon Knight run. It wasn't like I was squeamish so much as just realizing that I wasn't having fun at all. Veg posted:Oh and also the current ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by IDW.

I guess there's just a big difference between an alien being impaled with the American flag and Moon Knight having his spine extracted.
