[The Fool]

I only read X-men

other than Lee's early X-Men, Grant Morrisons X-Men and Chris Claremonts other X-Men since were garbage until Hickman came along

Not forgetting Remenders run on Uncanny X-Force

 

[Frayz]

DC is kinda boring for thz moment. Batman Vs his pops blabla

Please don't judge the entire DCU on Tom King's Batman run, arguably the worst Batman run in history lol

Morrison's doing good stuff with Green Lantern, Snyder is killing it with one of the greatest Justice League runs ever. Bendis is doing okay with Superman/Leviathan/Young Justice, not the best run but still better than most of Marvel's stuff right now. I could go on.

I lost interest in Marvel since they got rid of so many good writers but Immortal Hulk and Hickman's run other than that there's nothing else worth it as i aint a fan of most of their other series.

Only thing Marvel has going for them is X-Men, I also think Avengers is decent but nothing to brag about. A lot of people hype up Immortal Hulk too but I think it's a massive snooze-fest tbh lol

 

[The Fool]

X-Men

Hickman is killing it at Marvel though Jason Aaron messed up with War of the Realms though had a good lead up to that the event itself was garbage.

Everyone else at Marvel other than Ewing are not really known or not really good writers

I mostly just look out for new stuff now but there usually isn't many much good stuff outside of DC and Marvel lol, Undiscovered Country by Snyder and Soule looks pretty good though

Undiscovered Country #1

This November, New York Times bestselling writers SCOTT SNYDER (WYTCHES, A.D.: AFTER DEATH) and CHARLES SOULE (CURSE WORDS, the forthcoming novel Anyone) will team up with artists GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI (The Amazing Spider-Man, Darth Vader, Hellblazer) and DANIELE ORLANDINI (Darth Vader) and 2019…

Yeah, those look good but Ionger series feel like a chore to catch up on these days lol

worse problem is if the book is OOP then its a utter nightmare.

Eg: Fear Agent Library Editions are long OOP + even the Spawn Origins Deluxe Editions


Though despite saying that they are a pretty fun read compared to modern now comic runs

Yeah most of the time, the only thing I'm reading outside of Marvel and DC atm is Hit-Girl lol

Out of the ones you mentioned though, I'll probably check out DIE³ and the new volume of Transformers since they both don't have a too many chapters. I'm familiar enough with Power Rangers and TMNT that I think I could probably just jump into their current arcs.

HitGirl is that Frank Millar run right?
I miss Sin City lol, i should have brought that Big Damn Sin City Omni a while back now its OOP

Though yeah Invincible you could read as there will be a new animation of it soon on Amazon to compete with the new Devil May Cry animation on Netflix.

I may try to get myself into Umagi Yojimbo as its something i may enjoy as its like One Piece though Zoro as the main character lol

 

[Frayz]

Millar wrote first arc of it but it's Kevin Smith writing the current story

 

[The Fool]

oh right, i was never that interested in that run tbf.
Good concept when you read it but i dunno it wasn't my cup of tea.

btw they are releasing Frank Millar's entire Dark Knight run as a Absolute.

@Frayz you collect via Issues / Run / Custom / HC or TBP or its many variations?

 

[Frayz]

I don't really collect them at all but I do have a few odd issues. I mostly just read them online because there's literally no comic shops where I live and I cbf traveling to the city just for comics lol

An option would be you could purchase it via TPB route, if your in the states via Instocktrades or Worldwide check Wordery or Bookdepositary as they always have price reductions and etc on them

Yeah that makes way more sense for me tbh, I'd probably have to pay that much for just a couple of issues anyway considering that it's nearly $20 travel and a single issue costs almost $10

I've been thinking about this 5G and it could be decent if they execute it right and don't replace heroes, just add them lol

For example there should be a semi-retired Bruce because of his happiness with Selina or whatever but oversees, Dick in the League, Luke Fox in Gotham etc

5G wise at least its better than Marvel by doing it by force except the 1-2 like X-23
