Superman, actually not Bad
Wonder Woman not good so far
Had a short saver stack this week. Just the event series. Real curious where Bendis is going with Leviathan. Seems like Aaron is starting to run on fumes with his Marvel work, however. Hope he can get back to Southern Bastards soon. Or DC can take another great writer from Marvel!
Ive only recently started to catch up with a few current series while simultaneously catching up on several Rebirth series. So, Im only buying comics I really want to read otherwise Ill wait for them to go on DCU or Comixology Unlimited.
My picks for this week:
-Hawkman- This and Green Lantern are probably my favorite DC books out right now.
-Detective Comics- seriously, Tomasi is killing it right now. Excellent follow up to Tynions great run.
-The Batman Who Laughs- Snyder and Jock. Nuff said.
-Wonder Woman- I really like G. Willow Wilson. Her Ms. Marvel was such a breakout hit and I like what shes been able to do with Diana.
Also, I have other picks from other publishers so Im curious if most of you are strictly DC readers or if you also have picks from Image/Marvel/etc
@MajorZuma I’m starting to love G Willow Wilson as well, off of Miss Marvel and Invisible Kingdom. Need to catch up on her WW, however. When I finish (or get tired of) King’s Batman I’m going to start her WW.
Silver Surfer: Black by Donny Cates
Darth Vader: Dark Visions by Hopeless
God of War (graphic novel, not single issue) by Chris Roberson
Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing
Sonata #1 by Brian Haberlin
Oblivion Song by Robert Kirkman
@DeadmanBrand Honestly the whole Wonder Woman series is really good. Greg Rucka had an amazing run from Rebirth. Wonder Woman has been one of the most consistently high quality titles at DC since the New 52 with Brian Azzarello’s run imo.
@DeadmanBrand and MajorZuma If you’re enjoying G. Willow Wilson and haven’t already read it, check out her Vixen: Return of the Lion mini-series. Its very good.
@AnimalPerson That Artgerm portfolio sounds neat. Are the covers removable for framing or is it a standard art book?
@Vroom Hmm…think I’ll read that next time I need a Bat-Break. Thanks for the recommendation!
@MajorZuma Definitely gonna read WW. TBH, I just don’t really like Azzarello for some reason. 100 Bullets cool, but everything else, even his Hellblazer stuff, I just can’t get with. Read the first arc of N52 and put it down. Cliff Chiang is excellent, however. Love his stuff on Paper Girls, which is wrapping, so curious to hear what his next project will be…
@Deadmanbrand I get that. Everyone has their own personal preference. And I think a lot of the bigger name writers are usually pretty divisive among the fans. Like when Bendis signed on for Superman and there was a whole wave of upset Superman fans, yet Bendis’s Superman has been great.
Also glad to hear Wonder Twins and Dial H got extensions to 12 issues, thats always the best news to hear.
