While I am enjoying Saga. I'm currently in Volume 6 and the series is starting to seem a bit "edgelordy".Franchescanado posted:Pretty good. Thanks. I'll pick it up.

If you're going straight to Johns, read the Justice Society Returns miniseries before the ongoing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Justice_Society_Returns I think it's at the start of the omnibus. Get into Starman first too, if you haven't. e: re: moore: Swamp Thing, mate. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Mar 22, 2018 |

Top Ten, Supreme, and Judgment Day (Alan Moore's courtroom drama starring Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios/Awesome Entertainment characters) are among my favorite Moore works.

I noticed Comixology has a sale on the recent Howard The Duck trades but it only has three volumes? Did it get canceled in a hurry or something? And I going to be disappointed if I buy or did they manage to conclude it in a fun way?

If I wanted to get started with the Hulk but don’t particularly like the verbose Stan Lee writing style from the 60s, what’s a recommended starting point? Malntlo? David?

They're relaunching in a few months. Jason Aaron Avengers, Ta-Nehisi Coates Captain America, Fantastic Four are coming back in a Dan Slott comic, etc. Anything else specific?

Kinda just ment in general, what are the "big things" I aught to know before jumping in? (character deaths, new events.etc). Planning on starting up with the legacy run onwards.

The biggest thing on right now is Lady Thor going out to be replaced by Regular Thor for the next series, but you should go back and read all of that. Jason Aaron's Thor has been one big story for the last five or so years. Pick up the Marvel Legacy one shot from last year as a primer for the next Avengers run and the return of Wolverine. Wolverine is getting a back to life one-shot that splits into four miniseries and finally into a mystery ongoing. Donny Cates has a Death of the Inhumans miniseries coming up. There was an excellent Black Bolt series that just finished. Read that if you wanna start caring about those guys. Avengers is weekly right now for a story called No Surrender. The big thing there has been a character called Voyager being retconned into Avengers history as a founding member and the Hulk coming back to life after dying in Civil War 2 (the upcoming Hulk series has some zombie horror type element to it, which sounds neat.) That'll wrap the current Avengers runs before Aaron comes on. The thing they'd like you to think of as the big event coming up is Infinity Wars (and there's a countdown series now,) but it's really break-out from Guardians of the Galaxy, so I think interest is a little low key. If you'd be into a Mike Allred designed Adam Warlock who looks like Madman, he's in there. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Apr 6, 2018 |

Are they relaunching Amazing Spider-Man again? I was going to keep it as one of my series where I get floppies, but if they're relaunching I'm going digital.

Cool. Then we don’t have to hear you talk about it. Ant Man and Superior Foes we’re both really fun. I’m hoping for the best because I’m not a grumpy hate reader reading just to complain.

Superior foes is kind of mediocre but even if you like it that’s one thing and there are multiple other things that are bad. Like his Ultimate X-men or Morning glories. I can’t understand still giving him a chance on things that cost money at this point. Basically anything with an actual plot. Plus he is a trash person.

It's fair to complain that a creator you don't like is on a book you would otherwise want to read. I won't buy anything with Greg Land on art, which has meant not reading stuff by writers I really like. Similarly, I've been really enjoying Bendis's take on Iron Man, and Slott taking over is a huge disappointment to me.
