Ror posted:Man, I have so much freaking Fantastic Four to read. I was never that into them (the classic Galactus trilogy is the only time I've read a FF title), but the more I read about the MU the more interested I get, especially catching up with a bunch of the Marvel NOW titles like New Avengers. Waid's run is really awesome and work a read. The Hickman is also great. I would say that you should read Waid's run first as their is a relationship that seems to go backwards if you start with Hickman. The runs inbetween them are not worth it, and the Fraction and Robinson are nothing special. However, Fraction's FF run is awesome and well worth a read.

What are the highlights of the Wally West flash run? Comixology is having a sale on all of it, and I want to read some great Wally. I have already gotten Return of Barry Allan.

The New Warriors comics that is ending this month is also really really good. Its fun and has two of the best new characters of the year.

Dunbar posted:I'm looking for some recommendations but I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm looking for. I'd like to read a series that is similar to something like a Hong Kong action flick or Sleeping Dogs the video game, if that makes any sense. I just read the 4 issue Deadly Hands of Kung Fu from earlier this year and really liked it - wish it had been much longer. That or the old school Wolverine in Japan books would be good examples of what I'm looking for. Iron Fist by Fraction.

Teenage Fansub posted:The Anti-Monitor did show up on the last page of the last big crossover event, Forever Evil, and that's stoking rumor because he was originally the big villain in the 1985 event Crisis on Infinite Earths, which was DC's first major line-wide continuity shift. Also it will be the 30th anniversary of it.

Oh yeah, It's A Bird is heart rending, it doesn't star Superman, but it's definitely about him. Grant Morrison's run on Action Comics for the New 52 is also great.

Jamie Madrox: I want to say I've heard there is some good series starring him - Madox miniseries then following X-factor series. Venom - The series with Flash and written by Rick Remender Ed Brubaker's Captain America up until the Civil War where I stopped (Is there a place to pick that pack up again?)- yeah the rest of the run should be on there and its awesome.

Billy Gnosis posted:Thanks. If I stick with just titles called "Captain America" will I still be able to follow the civil war plot without getting bogged down in it? (Even with marvel unlimited I find myself not wanting to deal with events baggage and stupidity. Though I liked the Captain America House of M issue surprisingly) Captain America's Civil War tie ins are sort of tied in but they are also doing their own thing. You do not need to read the main title.

Circutron posted:So before Secret Wars hits, I want to read through everything involving the incursions arc that Hickman's been writing. Should I start with his Avengers and New Avengers run, or do I need to go back and start with Infinity? In general, I think out of everything I'm interested in seeing Black Panther's perspective on the whole situation, seeing as how it's been described to me that he's almost the main character of the whole situation, so any tie-ins from other series involving him from more recent arcs as well would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Just his Avengers and New Avengers run as Infinity is part of it.

El Gallinero Gros posted:So I'm looking for something fairly specific, and that's a series that ends at a logical point. I've read a bunch of series like this: Preacher, Y:the Last man, Deus Ex Machina, Starman, Transmetropolitan, 100 Bullets, Scott Pilgrim,Sandman, Hitman, Planetary, the Invisibles. Couple caveats: I will not read Cerebus. And I'd rather avoid series that were cancelled despite being good reads (i.e. Aztek, which I've heard nice things about).

They have three trades, and the rest can be found on comixology. If you want a comic that had a definite ending point and then kept going Fables would be it. Its also crap.

Scalped is really good and it fits in with what you are looking for. Animal Man by Morrison Question by O'neil Hellboy (still going but has an end date) BPRD (same) The Fourth World If you like Preacher Hellblazer is another one that ended, however if has multiple writers mostly really good, some bad, and Denise Mina.
