I was really blown away by 52 as my reading of DC continues. What would you recommend I read after this event wise? I think I will go back and read Seven Soldiers of Victory which takes place before that, but wondering where to go next in chronology.

One Year Later was running concurrently with 52 (and, as the name implies, takes place afterward). There was some decent stuff around then. The Superman series by Johns and Busiek were solid, and the Green Lantern books around then were still good. DEFINITELY pick up the John Rogers Blue Beetle series, and Green Arrow was pretty decent.

I definitely enjoyed the "Up, Up, and Away" story in Action/Superman. But keep on reading it afterwards. There's a Legion story that's loving awesome. As is "Escape from Bizarro World." I liked the "Face the Face" story in Batman/Detective. The new volume of Justice Society of America was enjoyable.

Thanks. Made notes of those. Will try to pick some up, especially Booster and Beetle during the next DC sale. Event-wise, where should I be heading after 52? Final Crisis?

Read something in-between events. Get on Grant Morrison's Batman since Final Crisis is a huge moment in it.

I'll second Booster Gold, particularly Geoff Johns' run (the "52 Pick-Up" and "Blue and Gold" collections, covering #1-6, 0, 7-10, and 1,000,000, in that order, in case they put single issues up for sale).

Final Crisis Revelations ties up some of the 52 stuff, and if you're reading FC anyways it's a good tie in

I've really been craving stories in a Dungeons & Dragons-esque world. Questing, fighting monsters, getting treasure, etc. I've read some Rat Queens and enjoyed the first couple trades, but want something a bit more serious and less irreverent/overtly comedic and adventure-focused. I was thinking some Conan comics, maybe? Though if that's a good path to go down, I'd want some recommendations for specific trades to pick up. I'd be up for something more in a D&D world with lots of monsters, a more grounded Robert E. Howard world, or even a far-future/fall of civilization kind of feel. Doesn't have to be a rag-tag band of adventurers but it'd be a bonus.

That's more of a webcomic thing. Order of the Stick? Or maybe Guilded Age? Cucumber Quest? Those are somewhat humored tho. Unsounded is more serious but I think it has a glacial pace. Rice Boy doesn't quite fit your bill but it's a fantastic fantasy story with entirely original setting and races, no orcs or elves. There's Claymore and Berserk on the eastern side too.

Also, Birthright is really good, but it's more of a Masters of the Universe movie deal where the people from the fantastical universe come over here.

I was being glib, but the premise is that a kid gets sucked into a universe where he's the chosen one, but instead of following that story it jumps to a year or two ahead when he returns home, fully an adult and having completed his destiny, and his family is ruined because the dad was accused of killing the kid when he disappeared. There are quests and what not and plenty of fantasy elements, but with the "here's how we have to deal with them under the restrictions in the real world" conflict.

So for after over ten years of occasionally trying to read different comics, I finally found one that has engaged me as much as a manga. Saga is pretty good so far (I'm almost finished with Volume 1).

zoux posted:Seconding this recommendation (but it does have a lot of humor). True, but only in so much as it does a solid job replicating the kind of adventures an actual D&D campaign creates. And it did seem like Rogers had plans to delve into the tiefling warlock character a bit more seriously before the book was cancelled.

Where should I start with Jonathan Hickman's FF run? I watched the intro video from comicsexplained and that got me interested but a friend just gave me a bunch of the run from around 570-600ish and another few starting with a #1 renumbered series.

This looks right: http://comicreadingorder.tumblr.com/post/113054022621/jonathan-hickmans-fantastic-fourff-reading-order Note that the trades keep the two series split, so while it's *okay* to read a trade of each back and fourth, this is how it's collected in the omnibu and is the correct order.

Dark Reign: Fantastic Four is where you start. Then Fantastic Four 570-588. Then FF 1-11. Then Fantastic Four 600. Then Fantastic Four and FF alternating until both end. Fantastic Four at 611 and FF at 23.

That X-Men issue with Cap and Black Widow is probably the best one. There might be some in Wolverine: Origins - the regular series that ran from 2006-2010 - but my memory of that series is really hazy.

Hey guys this humble bundle is full of amazing books you should probably be reading. Only a day left: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/image-expo-comics?hmb_source=navbar&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=tile_index_4 I'm sure some are stinkers, but I really enjoyed Chew, Manhattan Projects, East of West, Southern Bastards, Saga, the Wicked and the Divine, and Sex Criminals.
