What new (to you) comic have you recently discovered and become obsessed?

I have become slightly obsessed with Daredevil and All Star Batman. On both-the story telling and art work remind me why I still have to visit my local comic book store at age 52 with my kids.

Little Bird, Monstress, Black Hammer, Mister Miracle & Bug! The Adventures of Forgaer. Feel like I’ve hit a pretty good streak of new books lately.

A lot actually. I’ve been super in love with the “teen titans rebirth” and the “super sons”. They were just really funny and entertaining stories. I’m a little sad that the teen titans one is taking like a completely different route. Especially after having Damian resort back to killing, just seemed a little off character for what they’ve been building but at the same time I get it.

I had just read the O’Neil/Cowan Question book before the Lemire/Cowan Black Label Book got announced, so I’m pretty entrenched in that world right now.

I just discovered “Supergod” by Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny (Avator Press)–and it is really, really good. Nations creating “Supers,” what could go wrong? Worth the time and $1.99

I’m gonna say Batman One Bad Day: The Riddler, mostly because it’s the newist addition to my physical collection and I’ve been obsessed with the Riddler for months now.

If you haven’t read Detective Comics Annual Vol. 1 - #8 by Chuck Dixon, it’s a fun Riddler Year One story.

It might have the best character writing of any comic I’ve ever read.

The comic somehow makes a Trainspotting reference one of my favorite pages in all of comics.

I love this page because it’s able to reveal so much about Scott:

  1. It puts Scott’s mistakes on full display. I like the movie adaptation just fine, but I really prefer how the book makes it very clear that Scott is in the wrong for dating Knives.
  2. It shows how Scott doesn’t think about the media he’s consuming. He just views Trainspotting as content, not art, watching it solely for the plot, not the for the story and emotions.
  3. Scott bringing up Trainspotting also shows his unhealthy obsession with pop culture.
  4. Scott shows his unaccountability when, after trying to use Trainspotting as a way to justify his actions, he tells Wallace the situation is nothing like Trainspotting.

, with a simple, natural conversation.

I love your reasoning here. Never realized the Scott Pilgrim comics were that good… might have to dig into these myself
