i agree with those that say JSA is excellant. also consider Green Lantern and Knights of the Old Republic. i myslef can't wait for SW: Legacy.

Well, there is a small problem with JSA... it's about to be finished.

I buy some for the characters (Nightwing, Outsiders), some for the writing (Legion of Superheroes... a GREAT comic), and some for the pure scale of it (Batman/Superman, Infinite Crisis, Green Lantern Corps, Civil War, ect.). But I was just thinking about this 5 minutes before I sw this thread, and I just realized the one book that, month after month, I really look forard to getting... and I freally hadn't noticed how much I'd become a fan.


Birds of Prey.

For some reason, they just can't seem to screw it up, even when they try. So, I'd say that and "Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes", depending on your preference for street-level or cosmic-level stuff. But Outsiders is still pretty good.

true, but it is then going to be re-lanched as Justice Society of America. it can only get better from there. more so since Johns is writing.

yeah, but go ahead and count on...

No Mr. Terrific (he's with Checkmate)
No Green Lantern (he's with Checkmate)
No Jay Garrick (he's the "new" Flash... kinda)
No Power Girl (she's completely wrapped up with Supergirl)




So how are they gonna pull that off?


I still say buy Birds of Prey. You ust can't screw up cool-### hot chicks that are funny.

powers-check out some TPB's like who killed retro girl

planetary-is warren ellis freaking you out and you loving it and john cassaday draws real pretty

nextwave-more warren ellis and more freaking out no cassady tho

hmm new avengers,astonishing x-men, exiles, all-star batman, all-star superman, and my ultimate titles keep me coming back every wednesday

I'll 127th the New Avengers love. It's the comic that single-handedly brought me back into collecting.

Current Series:

All-Star Superman - It's just great, but it's more or less quarterly now.

Seven Soldiers - This has been really fun, but there's only one issue left so trades might be better.

JSA:Classified has been better, IMHO, than JSA itself these last few arcs. Joohns is coming back soon though. Even though he's hit or miss with me, on this title he's almost always hit.


Historically:

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run
Neil Gaiman's Sandman
& Peter Milligan's Shade: The Changing Man

will always be my holy trinity.

She-Hulk is awesome. A great combination of plot, humor and action. If you can find it, pick up She-Hulk #3 of the current run (#100 of all She-Hulk series combined, and thus a special issue). It has a great main story on the importance of She-Hulk, backed up by reprints by an issue of Sensational She-Hulk and Savage She-Hulk.

The same writer also writes 'The Thing'. An evenly funny and meaningful comic that respects the character in it, the reader, and marvel's continuity.

For Fables I only read the first four TPB's, but if the current quality is as good, you should really pick it up. Just try the first Fables TPB, and you will be sold :-)

Astonishing X-Men, as has been said in this posted here before, is the best X-title, and one of the best comics generally.

And, for nostalgia's sake, Streetfighter II is cool to read.

eh, I don't collect any of the series' anymore, not since the days of The Ghost Rider (Ketch).

Current favorite series out is

Planetary-Loving this series a lot. Great characterizations, beautiful art, amazing and well planned plotline...Ellis/Cassaday have a masterpiece here.

Split between EC Comic's Haunt of Fear/Tales from the Crypt series and Planetary at the moment.

I honestly can't think of any new series' that I would want to collect full-time, if I could afford it.

I know this much...


When the Wildstorm re-launch happens, I'm all over that. So far we've got

Jim Lee and Grant Morrison on Wildcats

Gene Ha and Grant Morrison on The Authority (ooooooh )

Talent Caldwell and Gail Simone on Gen13

Doug Mahnke and Christopher Gage on Stormwatch

Whilce Portacio back on Wetworks




So, if you haven't got Captain Atom:Armegeddon, I suggest you get it now, because that's the beginning of the launch.

aren't they suppose to be intergrating the Wildstorm universe with the DC universe ?

Supposably there is a crossover event idea in the planning stages, but the Wildstorm Universe starts re-launching all by itself as soon as Captain Atom leaves, sometime next month
