Marvels has a brief but neat take on that Fantastic Four Galactus origin story, from the perspective of a reporter. It's also just a really good book.

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's Nova run has a really good Galactus story in issues 13-15.

Vol.2 #34 Thanos turns Galactus into Elvis Presley and greatness ensues. It's legit one of the best Galactus stories ever written.

His creator owned Letter 44 and She-Hulk are at the top for me. Red Lanterns from #21, Swamp Thing from #19 and Inhuman are great. Death of Wolverine and Superman/Wonder Woman were pretty good, SM/WW especially in relation to Greg Pak's great Action Comics and their crossover. The rest, I dunno. I got Strange Attractors on a Comixology Sale a while ago. I need to crack into that. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Dec 16, 2014 |

Eh, Death of Wolverine kind of sputtered out near the end imo. His Thunderbolts run (#12-26) took a terrible premise/team and made magic out of it (although I'd say you could prooobably skip 12 and 13 as they're mostly just wrapping up plot points from Way's terrible poo poo that came before).

The writers of Jonah Hex moved on to Star Spangled War Stories Featuring G.I. Zombie. Nobody reads it and it's going to be cancelled in march, but I think it's really neat.

The team that was doing All-Star Western has done like 100 issues or something of Jonah Hex. If you haven't read those I've heard they are pretty good.

I'm jumping back into reading comics after a couple year break. And even back then never read much. I am catching up on TWD and Invincible now, but those are the only 2 I have ever read most of the series. I like supernatural, horror, scifi,marvel stuff mainly if that helps for some recommendations?

DC just started a horror/supernatural book called Gotham by Midnight, which is about a GCPD group investigating paranormal cases. It's super creepy and not too connected to the DC universe that you'd need to know/follow anything else. The second issue is out on the 24th. http://comicbookroundup.com/comic-books/reviews/dc-comics/gotham-by-midnight/1 reviews https://www.comixology.com/Gotham-by-Midnight-2014-1/digital-comic/164737?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9pdGVtU2xpZGVy digital store page with a few preview pages Also, probably the most acclaimed horror comic in recent years, Locke & Key has it's first volume on sale right now, if you're reading digitally. https://www.comixology.com/Locke-Key-Vol-1-Welcome-To-Lovecraft/digital-comic/18409?ref=cGFnZS92aWV3L2Rlc2t0b3AvZ3JpZExpc3QvbGlzdDQ4Njk In sci-fi, my favorite book is Manhattan Projects where the people creating the atomic bomb (the characters are real figures like Albert Einstein) were actually using it as a front for ridiculous mad science. https://www.comixology.com/The-Manhattan-Projects/comics-series/7588?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9zZXJpZXNTbGlkZXI Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Dec 20, 2014 |

The story follows a group of high-tech archaeologists from an alternate universe, in which our fiction is their reality, who travel around the world and investigate strange occurrences involving analogs for pop culture figures such as Doc Savage, Godzilla, James Bond and the Justice League. It's a super-meta deconstruction of the superhero genre filled with tons of neat references to 19th and 20th century fiction.

You'll get varying opinions on every other writer, but I don't think I've ever heard a negative word about Ennis' Hellblazer. You don't need much context for it either, he's a lying rat bastard magician and his friends almost always die helping him and some hosed up poo poo happened in New Castle that haunts him to this day. Ennis was my first Hellblazer comic (trade really) and my only other experience was his brief cameo in Sandman (from the first arc, when they were trying to make Sandman fit into the then current DC continuity).

There are very few bad Hellblazer runs, so you're pretty safe no matter what trade you pick up. Unless it's Azzarello or Diggle.

Did one of them do the story where the antichrist was going to be born out of some dude's rear end in a top hat to mock the birth of Christ? That one was terrible. There was another one I thought was bad as well, when he was going to a gay sex club or something, I think that was Azzarello.

The gay sex club one was awesome. It was the culmination of Azzarello's arc and Constantine beat his antagonist by letting him kill Constantine. And Constantine shows up a week later in England with a beard and no explanation to start Mike Carey's run which is another top tier run.
