I recommend starting with Elegy, which is pre-Nu52, but it's still part of the story.
Cool, thanks!

If you like Johns, check out the brief run he did on Superman
I'm also enjoying Black Canary (Annie Wu's art!!), Batgirl (relaunch), and Harley Quinn too. I think they're all worth a look.
Batwoman is good too. I think Elegy is the highlight of it all but JHW3 is an incredible artist and it's worth reading for his art alone.

Well, it's a mystery so you probably won't know unless you get it. You know the drill.
Remember to buy Archie #4 even if you don't give a shot about Archie because Annie Wules the Rorld. ✨

You mean when you try to snipe the top donor slot?

I have this feeling Waid and Ewing are about to have the shortest runs on Avengers/NA in years/ever.
It's already weird those aren't by the same author and probably not really tied to each other, either.

Yeah I gotta get that. Still need to read the other issues.
Yep that's it! I haven't read any other New 52 Superman but I really liked it. The last issue he wrote (39) was excellent.
Nice! $14 for a ~250 page hardcover run is an amazing deal so I think I'm going to get that first. Thanks!

Balder the Brave #3 - #4, Thor #363 - #368: Poor Balder, stretched in so many directions. Frog Thor was hilarious! And the beard is a good look. I am a bit apprehensive about wrapping this omnibus up. Any art in superhero comics I read going forward, I am afraid I will be judging against the quality of this. So much attention to detail in each panel and layout. Such intricate plotting.

Oh my, Mockingbird #1 was quite good. What was the deal with the Red Widow back-up story?

Doesn't really matter honestly. Grayson builds out of the Forever Evil event. Doesn't really touch on Nightwing.
Other recommendations:
Omega Men
Martian Manhunter
Gotham Academy
Catwoman (start after Nocenti leaves, you'll want to read Batman Eternal first).
Speaking of which, Batman Eternal
Oooh, and Action Comics starting with #41.
EDIT 2: Batman & Robin, Robin Son of Batman, and We Are Robin are all good. The second follows directly from the first, though, which spins out of (and ties back into) Grant Morrison's Batman stuff, so you may want to look up a reading order.

I might pick this one up. It can take the place of The Suicide Squad which I'm just about to give up on.
Interesting about the Grayson thing. Does it just take place at a different point in time, or is it like an alternate universe or something?
I have had Batman Eternal on my Amazon wish list on awhile. It's on my list but I have a few other cheaper things I'm wanting to get first. Gotham Academy I added to my wish list based on a previous recommendation. I'm a little reluctant to get into the Robin stuff yet because there's so much stuff and I'm a little overwhelmed.
I searched "martian manhunter new 52" and "omega man new 52" on Amazon and didn't see anything about them? Are they new and not on trade yet?

Too new. They're only three or four issues in each. DC takes an eternity to release trades/hardcovers so who knows when they'll be collected.
It just sets up a novel by the same author. A novel-novel, not graphic.
But yeah, Mockingbird ongoing needs to be a thing now. Yesterday. Last week.

Oh, yeah, both are too new for trades. Didn't realize you were sticking with those exclusively
As for Grayson... well, if you don't know anything about it, I won't spoil it, but let's just say that Forever Evil provides a really good example of a soft reboot for the character.
It's been awhile since I was doing DCBS and I forgot when do they usually update for the next month? Does IST update at the same time too? I've been meaning to read Sandman for a long time and I notice they have a sale on the Absolute Sandman's and would like to jump on the first 2 books while they are on sale.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mention that in my post.
I will add Forever Evil to my wish list since it's only $12, and pick that up when I get a chance, and then pick up Grayson. Thanks for the recs.

IST updates every Tuesday 3 PM Eastern time. And remember you can place two separate orders. You will get an additional 2% off on the second order.
Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello (Vol 1-6)
Aquaman by Geoff Johns (Vol 1-4)
Green Arrow by Jeff Lemire (Vol 4-6)
Batwoman by J H Williams III (Vol 1-4)
Batman and Robin by Tomasi (Vol 1-6, 7 isn't out yet)
Justice League Dark
Animal Man by Jeff Lemire
Harley Quinn by Amanda Conner has been silly fun
Batman Eternal is neat. It leads nicely into Genevieve Valentine's Catwoman run (all the Catwoman issues before that are pretty terrible).
As for some great ongoings still in their early phases...
Martian Manhunter
Midnighter
Black Canary
Grayson (Nightwing isn't necessary pre-reading, though you may wanna check out Forever Evil)
Gotham Academy
Gotham by Midnight
Constantine: The Hellblazer
We Are Robin
Omega Men
Batgirl (Gail Simone's run was solid enough, but the revamp has a pretty cool energy of its own)

Went through Vol 2-3 of Ms. Marvel and the other issues that are currently available. Absolutely love it! Following this now like I follow other manga.
I really like Takeshi Miyazawa's art in Vol. 3. Any recommendations for other good comics with his art? I just got Marvel Unlimited.

Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane was a lovely series. I believe he did some issues of Runaways as well.

I never would have guessed that I was going to like a Mockingbird comic enough that I would actually want an ongoing for it... but I did and I do.
Oh thanks, they would qualify for free shipping each so that would work great.

I'm going to be that guy, but can you specify what issue you're on with the spoiler? I clicked on it and I'm not that far ahead, now I know that is going to happen.

Sorry about that bro. #110 I think.
Yeah, I legitimately think it could be as good as Hawkeye. I hope this one-shot is selling really well. It's definitely being received well by everyone picking it up, near as I can tell.

AND OH MY GOD DAT ART SO GOOD
I gave up The Flash volume 1 new 52 about two months back. It was the second graphic novel I tried to read in my recent interest in them, and it was really hard to follow, so I got frustrated with it.
Now that I have read many more, I have decided to go back to it, and I'm having a much easier time. I also have a whole new appreciation for the INCREDIBLE artwork. I'm really blown away.
Thanks! Great post. I'll keep these in mind. Many I already have in my wish list.
