The one you were reading, Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder http://marvel.com/comics/series/16729/thor_god_of_thunder_2012_-_present Alternatively, do Walter Simonson's run starting here: http://marvel.com/comics/issue/11665/thor_1966_337 Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Jul 7, 2015 |

JMS' isn't that popular 'round these parts, but I like his run an awful lot, even if it ends abruptly like everything else he does. Starts here: http://marvel.com/comics/issue/15943/thor_2007_1 Gillen takes over after issue #603, and you could move onto Journey Into Mystery after that.

HogX posted:Got MU too, could you give me a link to Priest's run on BP? Trying to find stuff on MU is actually kind of a pain in the rear end. http://marvel.com/comics/issue/12575/black_panther_1998_1 Alternatively if you browse by creator and search for Priest, then do "sort" and "oldest first," his BP run comes at the top. Zachack posted:How far are you in BP? I thought it started ok but got progressively better right up until the final arc which I did not like at all. I'm at issue 7 right now. Apparently 1-5, the arc with Mephisto, is considered Priest's best, especially 5, which updates T'Challa's origin. And it is pretty good, just not as great as I was expecting.

I also found this to be a good reading order for the Age of Apocalypse event: http://www.uncannyxmen.net/timelines/age-of-apocalypse/age-of-apocalypse-read-order Keep in mind that some of those early stories, especially the stuff by Howard Mackie, are really terrible, and can mostly be skipped; even though they do cover some important events in the backstory of the main books, the execution is really off, and comes off more obnoxious than necessary. Also keep in mind that this is prime 1990s comics, so expect really questionable art, futuristic punks that look like they stepped out of 1970s Britain, and painfully verbose dialogue. The Blink mini-series, written long after AoA, is a bit better in this regard, but most of it takes place in the Negative Zone, away from the actual AoA stuff. Those qualifications aside, this was one of my favorite X-Men events growing up. It likely doesn't hold up as well today, but if you like comics from that era, you should definitely check it out.

Yeah, I would skip everything pre X-Men: Alpha, at least until after reading X-Men: Omega.

So, I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the books out right now. I thought maybe if I listed some of the stuff that I'm reading, you guys could point me to some other stuff. Amazing Spider-Man (don't judge, he's my favorite) Spider Gwen Thor Secret Wars Saga Rat Queens Daredevil Star Wars Batman (trying to keep up with the Batbooks is a daunting task. Are the others worth it?) Moon Knight New Avengers Ms. Marvel There's a few more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head. Are any of the other Spiderbooks good? I also love Captain America and Thor, as well. I haven't read anything with Old Steve Rogers or Captain Falconmerica, are any of those books any good?

I actually think Silk and Spider-Woman are better than Spider-Gwen. Not that the latter isn't good, but Silk in particular is really strong, and Javier Rodriguez is knocking it out of the park on Spider-Woman art-wise. And if you like that kind of thing, Batgirl's a really solid shout right now. As is Starfire.

Is the Silk book removed from Parker and all the pheromone bullshit? I lost track of things during Spiderverse but all the sexed up parts were really getting in the way of me giving that character a shot.

In her own book she seems as creeped out about that as anyone. It's mostly been about her looking for her folks while fighting Black Cat and being mentored at her day job by Jonah.

I love Tomasi and Gleason's Batman and Robin https://www.comixology.com/Batman-and-Robin-2011-2015/comics-series/6662?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9zZXJpZXNTbGlkZXI It's just transitioned into a solo Robin book https://www.comixology.com/Robin-Son-of-Batman-2015/comics-series/44187?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9zZXJpZXNTbGlkZXI which is carrying on plotlines from the BnR run. Also Gotham Academy, Batgirl (from #35) and Grayson, if that counts. It seems like you enjoy the upbeat sorta superheroing, so I'd recommend Greg Pak's Action Comics Superman book. https://www.comixology.com/Action-Comics-2011/comics-series/6637?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9zZXJpZXNTbGlkZXI from issue 25 or collection vol 5. Gaz-L posted:I jumped on that DC sale and got the DOOMED collection on Comixiology, actually. Am I gonna be confused if I haven't read any of Pak/Johns/Soule's Superman before this? It shouldn't be too bad, but you should read the Pak AC issues before it, cause they're great. I think Lex is with the Justice League at the start, which is coming out of Forever Evil where he saved the day, if that's confusing. e: Oh yeah. Lois has psychic powers, which happened in Scott Lobdell Superman, so don't bother investigating that. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jul 8, 2015 |

Eh. *makes wavy motion with flat horizontal hand* I read the first (only?) arc of All-New Cap. It was fine, but it went a direction at the end that I felt was much less interesting than where I was expecting it to go, and the rest of the package wasn't blow-away enough to keep me. There's some decent backstory stuff about Sam and his dad and sister, and Redwing becomes a vampire-bird.

How is Kabuki? There are oversized hardcovers coming out and those are my weakness, but don't really know much about the series. Also, does Usagi Yojimbo stay good throughout? I just started reading the deluxe edition that I bought a few years back and they've started collecting the books after that in collections, but I don't know if it crashes after vol 7 or not.

Zachack posted:How is Kabuki? There are oversized hardcovers coming out and those are my weakness, but don't really know much about the series. I have a bunch of these (volumes 1-3, 5, and 7). The first volume is a pretty typical 90s action comic. The rest are Mack playing with the medium. 2 is all about Kabuki dying and Mack hits his stride, 3 is stories about a bunch of side characters drawn by Mack's various 90s Image friends, 5 is a pretty good prison escape tale. 7 stands alone and is a look at the act of creating art, the best volume of the one's I've read, and you can get it in a nice hardcover all on its own. The early stuff really has that Image vibe to them and you see Mack evolving as an artist. I'd say they're imperfect. It's not really a linear story that you follow from volume to volume. Honestly, The Alchemy is the only one I'd straight up recommend, and that's if you're into meta commentary about art. Zachack posted:Also, does Usagi Yojimbo stay good throughout?

I don't know where I read up to, but I got the big two-volume hardcover thing and I loved it all the way through. (My problem is that I want matching sets to keep reading and I don't think there's been a follow-up to it.)

You could read Under the Red Hood to see how they originally did the Jason Todd thing. Batman: Year One is a classic. The current series is great. That starts with 'The Court of Owls'. e: Here's CBR's 75 best Batman stories list. http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/07/10/75-greatest-batman-stories-master-list/ Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jul 9, 2015 |
