The current Bendis stuff is very new reader friendly and probably what they expected people to go to when the movie came out. I would give her those before you get into the older stuff.

Cyphoderus posted:I've been catching up with Avengers by Jonathan Hickman (just finished Infinity) but not liking the bad pacing and poor character work; I find it reads like a movie trailer of itself. Maybe New Avengers is better about this? Avengers and New Avengers are meant to be read together! Did you read any New Avengers during Infinity?

Ragequit posted:Fantasty/Sci-fi generally, when it comes to reading books. Kickin' rad dudes/girls doing kickin' rad things. I am not opposed to DC/Marvel characters. I just haven't been exposed to the new stuff past Spiderman/Batman/Superman. I would also recommend Saga, just start at #1! Another thing you might like is East of West by Hickman & Dragotta. It's a sci-fi western featuring one of the four horseman rebelling and generally shooting a bunch of people in the face.

So far I read Inhumans and the first 19 issues of Black Panther, and I'm not overly excited to read any of this. Inhumans was ok, but Black Panther is just becoming tedious. Am I just not a Marvel guy, or are these not the best comics out there (even though the author of the Comicbook Herald states he loves them)?

Kafka Esq. posted:I think the last time I posted here I asked for Winter Soldier stuff, and I only got through Captain America v5. Now I find out accidentally he's taken over for Nick Fury for something completely unrelated and I want to know more. What are the best volumes to buy, having finished v5 and no further? I know he's in Siege, Fear Itself, and Original Sin, and now has his own current series. Is there anything in between that I should get? Original Sin is where all the Nick Fury stuff happens. It's self contained so you really only need the main series if you're just interested in Bucky stuff.

Because this seems to indicate it can get extremely bad. I can't tell if Willingham is saying that the “Surrender? Surrender??? You think this letter on my forehead stands for France?” line is a good example of Cap or not. How can anyone actually think that is what Captain America stands for.

Dunbar posted:Does anyone have any experience with managing a pull list remotely or ordering new stuff off a website? I have a small local LCS and they're pretty good about getting most stuff, but sometimes books I pull don't show up, especially if they're from smaller publishers. Lately I've tried to get Broken World, Muirwood, and Rivers of London, but the store never got them in. I have no reason to expect they aren't ordering them, because I get a ton of stuff there and sometimes the small press books do show up on time. I just can't count on it. It's very possible they are just getting shorted by Diamond, but I would ask them directly. I get my comics through DCBS and I use the website to order them but I don't actually get them mailed to me because I live near them. I'm not sure that'd be a solution you'd be looking for though if you are just looking to fill in the gaps your store misses out on because you need to preorder stuff in advance.

If you want something along those lines Pluto is written and drawn by Urasawa and is a re imagining of that specific Astro Boy story. It is very good.

I've been reading Morrisons JLA run in trades they've been putting out and I'm wondering if it's worth picking those up past the 4th one. The fourth trade has what I understand to be the final group of Morrison's issues and Tower of Babel.

Looks like the current run of trades go up to #93 so far so I'll just keep picking those up. Thanks! Another question too actually, i started reading an infinity gauntlet omni I picked up a few months ago and I have really enjoyed it up until the event actually ends. There is still a good portion of the book left, is there anything worth reading in there past Infinity Gauntlet #6? I did really enjoy the issues of silver surfer and thanos quest leading up to the event. Senor Candle fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Dec 6, 2015 |

It is quite goofy but a lot of it is still the most tolerable Stan Lee stuff, particularly as the run goes on and Romita comes on board.

Endless Mike posted:Secret Wars is absolutely the finale of his Avengers/New Avengers story. It's not an epilogue. Without it, the story ends on a portal between 616 and Ultimate opening. I'm making a joke because Secret Wars was originally 8 issues, but then was stretched out into 9. I guess I shouldn't say stretched, more like portioned into 9.
