Yea it's Brubaker and Philips. One of their early collaborations that's great. Undercover secret agent in the land of cape villians. Great stuff
Also Wildcats is a book that I felt was the strongest thing Casey did. Corporate cape book. Really awesome and there wasn't anything like it when it came out
To this list I'd add Gail Simone's run on Gen13 and Welcome to Tranquility, A God Somewhere by Arcudi and Snejbjerg, I remember DV8 Gods and Monsters being good but it is a Brian Wood comic so there's all that, if you like BKV Ex Machina is good. I'm guessing you're also going to read the Authority.

Thanks for all the WS suggestions, definitely want to start reading more of them once I finish Stormwatch myself. Shoulda brought my hardcovers with me on vacation, oh well. I know I'm gonna get Ennis's Midnighter when the trade drops this year.
I really want to get into Astro City so I might go for that next. I read a few issues and adored it so I know it's to my liking. Is there a good reading order for the trades and all that? I remember being somewhat confused by all the different names for the series.
Astro city is amazing but I never associate it with Wildstorm. And it's a book that the more you learn comic books the better it gets when you see where all the influences and homages come from
Finally got the Knightfall Omnibus in. Looking VERY cool. After I read Absolute WW by Azzarello/Chiang Vol. 1 I might have to start it.

So how much of the Knight fall/Quest/End is included? Seems like the whole thing
Nah there will be Knightfall, Quest, and End omnis. They just add some more material over what was in the recent thick trades. This one adds Batman #484-490 and Detective #654-658. (the issues leading up to what was in the trade).
I asked Rosenberg about Kingpin's appearant cancellation. and he just said that they don't have a issue for July. Probably still canceled, but I can irrationally assume that this means that the book might be back in August,
I'm listening to a Guardians interview with Duggan and Kuder and the book sounds pretty interesting. They went in pretty good detail about future plans for the book so these aree legit spoilers:
-The book is going to tackle cosmic entities reacting to a feeling that the universe was reconstructed(Secret Wars) and they will be hunting down the Infinity Stones(which haven't shown up since the event). Duggan said this is the biggest thing he has done at Marvel
-Ideas that people haven't thought about in a long time will be reintroduced. Including old fan favorite characters
-The story explaining Baby Groot is going to be "profoundly messed up"
-No Thanos stories planned
-They are going to continue some stuff from the DnA run hinted at, like stuff with the Nova Corp, and villians, along with some Uncanny Avenger/Rage of Ultron stuff popping
-Duggan has been writing Rich, but won't tell us where
-Stuff that shows up early will be setting the seeds for stories that could drop in year 2 or 3
Combined with the stuff that we already knew I'm expecting a good run.

But did they release the Johns GL run in that format? I don't think so. Those hardcovers were from a time when Marvel and DC went HC -> TPB for pretty much everything, even the single-arc collections.

Nope, switcheroo with Rebirth. Trades and then deluxe (OHC) later if sales warrant. Oppose to the six issue HCs first then paperback. More Marvel style pretty much. Except for specific circumstances like All Star Batman or Trinity,

Too true. The new HB ogn is out today. 56pg and a hardcover, the type with the pinched in spine. Sure, it looks nice, but not a big fan. Give me a chunky HC.... Although not too chunky, none of this omnibus business Van Winkle is so enamored with. 12 to 18 issues is spot on.
Something kind of really fucked up happens in Deathstroke and it kind of just passes almost low key, but then it rounds back around and explicitly tells you what happened just in case it didn't fully sink in.
The hockey player dying and Flash not being able to do anything about it
is an Alan-Moore-As-Fuck moment and just about the perfect way of showing Watchmen as an invasive force in the DCU. The first two fucking panels of this, with the
circle in the hockey rink becoming the clock face coming closer to midnight
is a spectacular way of showing it visually.
And between the thematic stuff there's also Fabok and Anderson fucking showing off in a 9-panel technical showcase.

Sounds like Roughneck is a total triumph by Lemire, super excited for that. Waiting til May the 4th (be with you) for UK book stores to get stock unfortunately. Anyone planning on picking it up?
There's a fucking "hawk-eye" moment in The Wild Storm #3 and it's the most I've laughed at a book this week pre-opening up the Erica Henderson variant of Sex Criminals.
