Hello friends, I watched the Batman bin Suparman movie yesterday and that made me think I hadn't read any DC since, like, a month after the new 52. 1) Are there any really standout, exceptional post-n52 runs? I was really into Morrison's Batman, but dropped out when n52 started. 2) What about Wonder Woman? I remember people saying Rucka's run was great, at the time, but I didn't read it. Might as well ask for other good WW stories in general.

Snyder and Cupullo's run of Batman is good, and ends next month. Haven't read any N52 Wonder Woman other than Justice League. That pics up after issue 30ish and is currently in a really fun arc. Keep in mind DC is about to do another relaunch Rebirth

KoldPT posted:Hello friends, I watched the Batman bin Suparman movie yesterday and that made me think I hadn't read any DC since, like, a month after the new 52. Rucka, Simone and Perez are the 3 go-tos for pre-reboot WW. Perez is a bit more interested in the mythic, and it's VERY 80s, but it's still some of the best comics you'll see and is somehow still under-rated generally. Rucka's more interested in the politics and conspiracies than Perez, but if you know Rucka, he's great at that stuff and still manages some great mythological cuts. And Simone does good work with a slightly clunky status quo that had been forced on her when Allan Heinberg and Jodi Picoult had short-yet-delayed runs that kinda fizzled. As for now? Azzarello and Chiang's run is hailed by a lot of people, but it changes a lot of things at the core of the character, enough that it doesn't sit well with some (like me). Sensation Comics, Bombshells and Legend of Wonder Woman (the latter two are still currently running) are fantastic though. The first is an anthology featuring many different creators from Jaime Hernandez to Noelle Stevenson giving there takes on the character, and most of them are great and some are even innovative (the Stevenson-drawn story is amazing). The second is based on the poster/statue line that reimagined the DC heroines as WW2 pin-ups, and is way better than it has any right to be. Marguerite Bennett and a ton of lady artists make it a fantastic, fun, pulpy Justice League in the European theatre origin story. And Legend of Wonder Woman is the Wonder Woman Year 1-10 we never got.

You should probably read Batman Incorporated Vol 2 then. Peter Tomasi & Pat Gleason's 'Batman and Robin' runs parallel to that and picks up from it nicely, then Gleason's Robin: Son of Batman solo is good too. Grayson uses on Spyral from Batman Inc. It's great. If you want some Superman, pick up Greg Pak's Action Comics run from #25.

Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman run in the N52 is probably one of the best runs of the character and really got me into the character for the first time. There's a digital series right now called The Legend of Wonder Woman which is fantastic and needs to stay around forever so check that out.

So I've enjoyed Deadly Class, Tokyo Ghost and Bitch Planet...what other Image stuff should I hop onto? Doesn't have to be recent, just not poo poo. It's genuinely weird to me that Image is probably #2 right now in terms of quality.

I never thought that in 2016, I wouldn't be following any monthly DC or Marvel books, but all my favorites would be from Image. That said, I've also recently read the first volumes of Prophet, Pretty Deadly, East of West, Manhattan Projects (think I made it through two volumes), Five Ghosts, Lazarus, Satellite Sam, and Southern Bastards (the first two volumes), and I wasn't enamored enough with any of them to continue. But I know a lot of people here like those.

(haven't read Five Ghosts or Satellite Sam, I wish I loved Pretty Deadly more) Things that I can add: Nowhere Men (in the sci-fi style of Warren Ellis' work, but not a lot of issues are out, yet) Rat Queens (if you love D&D and raunchy comedy) ODY-C (ultra futuristic sci-fi retelling of The Odyssey; not my usual cup of tea, but the art has me enamored) No Mercy (kids on a school trip are having a really bad day; I don't love this, but some people do) Uthor fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Satellite Sam might work better in trades, but I didn't like it at all as a monthly. East of West and Southern Bastards are the two books I most look forward to.

I've recently been getting into comics. I like things where normally serious characters have light hearted shenanigans and/or don't achieve much. Examples of things I've really dug include More than Meets the Eye, Fraction's Hawkeye, Waid's Daredevil, Schadfer's She-Hulk, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Ms Marvel (2014). Is there anything else like that for me? Bonus points if it's on Marvel Unlimited.

Patsy Walker aka Hellcat! is something you should check out (although it's still new and so won't really be on unlimited yet).

I love a lot of these too (Fraction's Hawkeye, MtMtE, Daredevil, and She-Hulk, although I'm not sure who Schadfer is -- Slott and Soule are the two most significant recent She-Hulk writers). I'll second the classic Justice League International/America/Europe run by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. Those series ran from 1987 to 1992 -- first Justice League, which was renamed JL International and then JL America (60 issues in all) and JL Europe was a spinoff series (36 issues in all). You should also enjoy Nick Spencer's Superior Foes of Spider-Man, Warren Ellis' Nextwave (although Planetary is his masterwork), Mike Allred's Madman, Peter Milligan and Mike Allred's X-Force/X-Statix, Peter David's second series of X-Factor from the mid-'00s (which began with the Madrox: Multiple Choice miniseries), and the classic twelve-issue run of The Tick by its creator, Ben Edlund.

I've never really read Western comics before I've read a bunch of Silver Age Spider-Man, I read Civil War (which I loved), and I've read various one-off titles like the first trade for Sex Criminals I'm looking to get way more into Marvel, is Spider-Gwen good? Spider-Gwen sounds kinda interesting

Spider Gwen is cool, but if you're looking to get into the lady Spider game, Silk and Spider Woman are in my opinion better. If you sign up for Marvel Unlimited you should be able to read the most recent runs of all three. Spider Gwen was 5 issues, Spider Woman was 10, and Silk was 7. All 3 also now have new ongoing series that started last fall.

It's less that I'm looking into the "lady spider" game as much as the concept of Spider-Gwen sounds pretty appealing to me, personally speaking I value really strong characterization and connective emotional centerpieces in my fiction, with less of an emphasis on rigorous plotting and i find overly self-serious fiction to be downright insufferable (which is why i wanna try marvel and not DC in the first place)
