Going from Superior to Amazing is like driving your friends expensive sports car and going back to your parents mini van. Maybe the real answer to those who hate Superior is that Peter needs some new blood writing him.

I agree with this, but I didn't hate Superior.

 

[Simply Sarah]

Yeah, this is what I expected. I'm at a complete loss after finishing Gotham Central.

Yep, that's pretty much how it was always going to go. 52 might be a good option for reading next since it does follow Renee's story from here.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

So, Rat Queens reads well month to month? I think I may do a quick catch up.

Basically, but at least Superior was fresh because it was this new, ridiculous direction.

I was considering it, that and that one mini (forgot the name, something about a bible lol).

This is a theory I would support.

But guys, who cares about Spider-Man when there is Gran Morrison Batman around?

Roses are red

Messi loves Superior Spider-Man
What a douche.

Lol Rat Queens hasn't been month to month for ages. It's had months worth of delays for each issue.

Getting Slott off Spider-Man has long been a dream of mine. Who would I have replace him? Warren Ellis, maybe?

 

[TetraxShards]

It will probably read better without the delays. If we could get another arc this year, that would be super.

Knowing our luck, Tess Fowler will get hit by lightning or something.

Nope. My apology is right where it belongs

It'll be Waid or Bendis.

Getting Slott off Spider-Man has long been a dream of mine. Who would I have replace him? Warren Ellis, maybe?

Eliis would only stay for like 6 issues but they would be 6 great issues I'm sure. I'm still waiting for Waid to get on Spidey, it's going to happen eventually I'm sure. I'd even read a Miles solo book penned by Waid and Miles bores me to tears.

 

[TetraxShards]

It'll be Waid or Bendis.

I'd be fine with either, personally. Waid's BND stories were generally good, and Bendis, well, Ultimate Spider-Man speaks for itself.

I would have really liked Remender (Parker Labs doing weird science stuff!) or a more grounded take from, say, Fraction. Pity they're gone now.

Actually, where the hell is Spider-Men 2? They need to get on that.

Bendis gives a shit about Old Peter, see Spider-Men. Peters role was pretty lame.
Waid it should be.

Well alright then, I don't have to read those trades immediately then lol

The best 6 issues.

I loved Spider-Men so much. The scenes in Ultimate Peter's old house absolutely broke me. A manly tear may have been shed.

Can i actually OHC wait image books? That's more than a year between reads, seems excessive and detrimental to the story.

If you don't kill comics sillymonkey, who will?

 

[Horseticuffs]

I'm going to give Doctor Strange a try and the new GoTG team book. How does the New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers and Extraordinary X-men lineups look to everyone? I'm kinda interested in the mix on the New Avengers book and the same with Extraordinary X-men. I'm also looking at that Howling Commandos book. I remember Secret Warriors being a surprise hit for me and getting the same vibes from this.

I recently read "The Oath" and the Strange 2009 arc. The Oath was awesome as fuck, but I wasn't crazy about 2009. If anyone else can recommend more Strange on the level of Oath, I'm all ears.

Also, can you dudes recommend the essential Captain America arcs?

 

[Hagi]

The best 6 issues.

I'm fine with never reading a new issue of Moon Knight ever again.

Remender doing crazy Black Science esque stories with Spider-Man. Now I'm sad theres less of chance of it ever happening.

You uh.... you sure bought a lot of comics, there. Do you already own the first Blacksad collection? I found those to be my favorite stories so far.

I don't think there is anything else quite on that level for Strange.

New Avengers Annual #1 from last year was a really good Dr. Strange story. The art was amazing too.

Excellent! I'll check it out. I am starting to get concerned that the good Doctor was saddled with substandard stories.

I found it got much less enjoyable after the first book.

Aarons run starts soon-ish and that should be pretty good.

 

[Vibranium]

I'd like to see Rucka, Waid or David. I hope it's not Bendis on Spidey after Slott leaves, he can stick to Miles.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Same. The first book was actually the first three stories that were released separately outside the US.

Frazer Irving's art is so beautiful. This is the guy that needs to be on Batman full time.

230 dollars worth of comics!

I have the other two volumes of Blacksad. The first one is spectacular but the third is pretty average story wise. I heard A Silent Hell was better than Amarillo so I got it.

I'd like to see Rucka, Waid or David. I hope it's not Bendis on Spidey after Slott leaves, he can stick to Miles.

If it makes you more at ease, Bendis has said he doesnt have interest in writing the main Spider-Man. Ultimate Spider-Man was his Spider-Man story so he doesnt feel he has to get on the main Spider-Man title

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yeah, Silent Hell is definitely better than Amarillo, but still not nearly as good as the originals.

I had no idea! After my recent dalliances with his Ghost Rider run that's great news. I'm stoked.
