It's ~tolerable~ where I am in Australia, but if it goes up too much I'll have to seriously pair it back.

What's cool is the books are 1 dollar each, or you can get all twelve plus 4 eternal warrior in a bundle for 11 dollars.

Goddamn you Valiant and your great digital strategy making me buy all the books.

Before Watchmen: Minutemen was surprisingly good, because Cooke is amazing as a writer-artist, and because the story is mostly inconsequential, focusing on characters we didn't spend much or any time with in Moore's story.

I haven't read any of the others, including the Silk Spectre one by Cooke and Conner.

Yeah seconding Minutemen, that was very pleasant with nice art.

Imperium stars the villain from Harbinger, Harada.

Ninjak: Ninkal is an OG character, and thus pops up here and there in team books/crossovers and issues of X-O and such, but his series is a batmanish spy techno action thing and can be read independently of everything else. It's like, one of my favorite ongoing comics ever and has been since it started but requires no fitting in aside from the fact Ninjak is ever present in crossovers and team stuff like The Valiant/Book of Death.

Unity was the team book, and started because Harada (the bad guy from Harbinger) wanted to take on X-O manowar, they then went off and did their own thing so it sort of sprung out of XO. Disclosure, I never read anything other than the tie in issues of Unity, and apparently so did everyone else because it got cancelled for lack of sales afaik but I heard it was good.

Taken by itself the main House of M book is a fun bendis romp with amazing art. I think the hate it gets is related to its place in time and continuity but we are far enough removed we can just read it I think.

But it wasn't exactly secret wars, no.

News just in from the guy with the L&R avatar, but Love and Rockets is good.

Although that story might not make much sense without like 20 years of context so :shrug:

Obviously, it goes without saying that people should read Watchmen, but I wanna give a shout out to Before Watchmen: Minutemen written and drawn by the late, great, Darwyn Cooke. :(

Get on this. My favorite Hickman.

East of West is great and my favourite of his too. Can highly recommend people pick up the first 3 volumes as a taster.
