Full disclosure: I like the X-Men a lot, especially the ones with the weirder mutations. Eye lazers is pretty straightforward, Wolverine isn't really complicated he just has a giant list of mutations, but guys like Maggot are cool cause they have a power that seems useless, can be really useful if used creatively, and just have a lot of weirdness to how they work.

Have you read Morrison's New X-Men?

Millar might be making his best work now, though.
Huck was really sweet.

Got high hopes for his Greg Capullo comic.

I think Hickman's overall output has improved quite a bit, although I've heard Manhattan Projects has gone downhill.

I dunno who's been saying that. The problem's been frequency, not quality.

For Soule, I think he was WAY stronger in his period working for both companies a couple of years ago.
e: Maybe WAY is a bit much. Letter 44 and Inhumans are still good, but Daredevil and Star Wars comics sure haven't grabed me like She-Hulk, Red Lanterns and Swamp Thing.

Look for sales at Comixology. They're both Amazon now and tie-in, I think, but that's the dedicated comics storefront https://www.comixology.com/

Or get on Marvel Unlimited, which is much more versatile. For a subscription, read what you want if it's older than six months. You could read all of Brubaker's Captain America there for much cheaper than you'd ever pay for collections.
No idea how good the Kindle app is, if that's what you've got.

e: and subscribe to the Digital Comics thread :D

On the one hand, I get giving people free FCBD copies of Suicide Squad to promote the Suicide Squad film that's coming up. On the other, I still don't get why it's the #1 for Suicide Squad Vol 4 (aka the really good one /s) instead of New Suicide Squad, which is at least the first issue of the current ongoing series.

It should have been the recent April Fools issue, which is a done-in-one and ties to the upcoming series. It's much more family friendly too...


... until the end where that's revealed to be brainwashing ala A Clockwork Orange, but with some stealthy parental guidance, it's just a cute comic.

I'm looking forward to it. Unlike everything else in the HB range, it doesn't seem to have interesting creatives on the surface (unlike Prez's Mark Russell on Flintstones), but it's got a Mad Max: Fury Road production designer working on it. Could be the right kind of bad idea.

The Johnny Quest comic starts this week and looks so perfect for Jeff Parker, Doc Shaner and Jordie Bellaire. I'm pumped.

Anyone wanna follow the comics in their own thread, outside of DCs? You probably wouldn't have to navigate around posts about Red Hood.

To be fair there's no source-faithful interpretation of Wacky Races that would've made me at all even vaguely interested in the product

That show had racing teams of cavemen, vampires and mobsters. How hard to impress are you?

If it ain't this week's best comic I'll eat a hat every meal for the rest of my life.

It's really starting from one kid who just comes in with old rear end 80s and 90s comics. She was reading Crisis on Infinite Earths yesterday. And then they spread to the rest of the kids when she's done reading it.

DC blew their big controversy by choosing something that's nearly impenetrable to non-nerds.

The Watchmen movie probably made more of a general cultural impact than everything that's happened in comics since, combined.
