The Truth arc actually ended up being a thing across 3 different titles.

Eeeeeyup.
Most places have volume 4 listed for August 2016, which seems doable as I'm sure there was a similar 3-4 month gap between previous releases as well.
Oh and I just checked and apparently the Masterworks volume 2 for Black Panther is out in October as well which collects those issues listed in the comixology sale:

I really like Bendis X-Men but Hickman F4 is one of the best runs in history so go with that if you havent read it.

Sadly I read it all and still feel like it doesn't add up at all and is just as dumb. I thought it started off with a lot of potential, you find out these three big villains across all three books are working together, you have Supes using Bat-tech and rolling around on a motorcycle, you have the stuff with them trying to erase Clarks life in stealing all the stuff from Smallville and it all just adds up to Vandal wanting to get closer to his comet? It just seems so dumb compared to how it began aside from how it was handled.

Cool to see ANAD titles on MU, too bad I have a backlog of like 450 issues, with probably half of them being Secret Wars tie-ins.
Also all this TWD talk is motivating me to start reading again. I have the Second Compendium and stopped right as they reached like Washington DC or something?

The story was written into a corner the moment they depowered Clark. Truth really should have been an arc similar to Reign of the supermen.

Hell no, the problem was when the black goo showed up in AC. Depowered social justice Superman would've been one for the books.

Eh, I can see how figuring out how to give him his power back can be an issue but I don't think that was the real downside of the arc. I think them trying to work everything in together is where the issues came. On their own each book had its own thing going(besides Batman/Superman which sucked) Hordr_root was fine on its own, Wrath was fine on its own with Lee and dealing with the city rejecting Clark, and the whole Smallville and Clark being erased in the WW book. Then they all meet up with Vandal Savage and try to link them all together and it all goes to absolute shit.

This event sounds so good...

new villain is Seth Rollins.
I mean the conclusion to the story. social justice gangbusting Superman is awesome, but the story was always going to fall apart once we got around to re powering Clark.
Before I was guessing Jackal or Mephisto, but the former has clearly been eliminated and the latter is seeming unlikely.

Superman: American Alien continues to be amazing. I want to see this Lex Luthor in a damn movie. Standing in front of someone with super powers and he makes him look like an absolute child.

Batman - #21-33 Zero Year
Didn't think the Riddler had it in him. Being one of Batman's biggest adversaries and all takes quite the criminal mind. Hell, he pretty much defeated Batman.
This recreated origin story was unexpected. I thought it would be a quick few issues showing how Bruce got started once he returned to Gotham, but it became this enthralling story that ultimately became my favorite arc. I just spent the last 4 1/2 hours reading, taking every detail in.
Snyder is such a great writer. I can't think of a single comic that has held my attention like this has.

Ooh, that is another option I guess.
Edit: MSRP $50. Not oversized. - vol1 is OOP and going for $100. I think I'll stick to the Epic collections for older work.
It's by noted dumb idiot Dan Slott
Spider-Island sounded good
Spider-Verse sounded good
Superior Spider-Man sounded good

Amazing Spider-Man has been great for me so far and I've really enjoyed all of Slott's spider-events so I'm really looking forward to this.
Such a great arc! I thought the beginning dragged a little but the payoff made it worth it. Also has a couple of my favorite single Bat-panels of all time.

I thought Superior was great, but was so-so on the others. Bummed about Ock coming back, cause it almost feels too soon plus it being spoiled, but I'm interested in this new event.

I think Slott peaked with Spider-Island, which was genuinely good. Superior started off good but it kind of fell apart and had a poorly paced ending arc. Tried one issue of the first Amazing relaunch and dropped it. The things I've heard about Spider-Verse sounded very disappointing and I'm a huge fan of Spider-Man. Zero interest in Amazing right now and that really does bum me out. Peter's my favorite Marvel character.

Avoid the one before Peter gets the company.
Ive been trying to read it for more then a year now but always lose interest before Ive finished the second page of the first issue.

The current series is supposed to be better than the last one

I think it's a lot of fun, but I'm clearly in the minority here.
FWIW, I was sick to death of Slott when it started but I'm digging it anyway. Lots of fun stuff.
edit: Renew Your Vows is worth a read if you decide to check it out. One of the better Secret Wars minis and it actually does have an impact on the new ASM.

You mean Cloak & Dagger. Cool twist when they show up, too.

You didn't think Superior sounded good did you? Pretty sure that was at the height of your Slott-hater persona in the monthly threads back when they were in the OT
Yeah
Two of my favorites. I hope they get a new book at some point. They would fit in Marvels diversity strategy perfectly

I'd settle for a new Runaways book with them as team leaders
But yeah I'd kill for a Cloak & Dagger book. They don't get nearly enough love.

Apaarently the early reviews for Black Panther #1 have been great. Nice to hear that Coates' transition into comics will probably be better than Hudlin's!

The storylines are so epic
He's also staying on past the 11 issues that was previously reported according to an interview at The New Republic

Oh nice! That's fantastic news.
What storylines? Daily soaps have better (and more "epic") storylines.
