So who do I get? I'm thinking Carol Danvers.

That's good. Who else do you like?
What is the artist particularly good at, that makes you love them?
This is actually the hard part for me.
Knowing you want a commission from an artist is the easy part, picking the character they'd be perfect for is tricky.
If it's Cho I would definitely get Carol, or Natasha or She-Hulk or Wanda or well anyone really. If it's Lee same thing applies though I do really like his Selina.
What I typically do is give them free reign. I may guide them on a gender, but I'll ask them to draw whoever is exciting to them. If never fails.

That's a good plan, too.

They need to realize that increasing the font size does not actually mean there's more content on your site.
I would read it.
One of the few books I read this week whenever Deus Ex let me get away for a while. I like it, but it snot the best comic I've ever read.
Definitely Carol. Ask him to include some hentai tentacles.

So now that Starman is done and I've cleared the deck of the latest MU comics it is back to Busiek/Perez Avengers. And one observation as I'm reading through issue #4, As much as I love Fractions Hawkeye run I missed super arrogant jerk Hawkeye. He really was the Guy Gardner of the MU eh? He's always up to something. It's fun
Blind bought (well bought on cover description) Low by Remender and Sex Criminals by Fraction. Crossing fingers...
Excellent advice.

Both are awesome. Low is my favorite Remender book going

Both are great books. Personally, I think Low kind of downshifted in the third story arc, but others (people who are wrong) tend to disagree.
I see what you did there.
To all the kind replies above: This will be my first Remender book. Now I'm looking forward to it. Thanks!
Totally Awesome Hulk is surprisingly to me actually totally awesome. I've flew through 8 issues so far and it's been a great read that's made Civil War 2 a little worse as I've gone on. Issue 7 and 8 especially really drove home how much I disliked issue 3 of Civil War and everything surrounding it's use of Bruce Banner.
Amadeus is a great character, really enjoyed him when I read Hercules years ago and I'm happy that I've found him again. Greg Pak comic superstar.

Honestly, I stopped reading TAH when Frank Cho stopped drawing it. I know the dude can't keep up with an ongoing at the rate those things ship these days, but his art is fantastic and adds to any book he draws.
CW2 has a lot of good tie-ins and the Hulk ones are up there.
Congrats! That's the stuff I grew up on and still love immensely.
I just outed myself as "Old Guy," didn't I?

I grew up in the 80's / 90's and I think I'm allergic to comic art from that period.
The most recent issue just had Mike Del Mundo draw the shit out of an amazing issue. Cho is great but I'm here for Greg Pak.
What else should I be reading? I'm going to get back to All-New Wolverine but apart from that my slate is clean.
Had this for a while but still need to read it. Happy to hear you managed to find it!

Did Pak get better? That dude was on his fucking A-game around Planet Hulk, then the quality of his writing just dropped off.
I didn't make that post. lulz
Leave me alone, I'm a junior.
King City is gonna be extremely your shit I think

I still haven't read that one. I enjoyed Multiple Warheads, though. Will I like KC as well?
As for Graham's art, it's hit-or-miss for me. I generally don't like it when he does guest art on other books, but it seems to suit his own stuff fairly well.
so, which Slott Spider-Man stuff should I get off this Comixology sale?
I've already read Superior and Big Time
The ones I'm missing are -
-Spider-Verse
-Danger Zone
-Ends of the Earth
-Flying Blind
-Lizard - No Turning Back
-Matters of Life and Death
-Spider-Island
-Fantastic Spider-Man
-Return of Anti-Venom
-Trouble on the Horizon

Hmm... I'm maybe not allergic, but definitely glad we moved on. Reading it now is a bit of a shock at how much more overlined the 90s were compared to the sparse current mainstream style. I think comics are better for it...
I had a brief return to comics in 2008 and was drawn back by Yu's style in New Avengers. He might be my fav artist, or I might have nostalgia-glasses on-- I'll have to wait for his new books in October.

I can vouch for Spider-Island. That was a fun story.
This is more Incredible Hercules than Planet Hulk which is probably why I'm enjoying it so much.
-CA Sam Wilson's tie-ins have been really good
-The most recent issue of Ms. Marvel was strong
- Power-Man and Iron Fist is doing a really good story
- Kingpin is good
- The Fallen is worth a read if you like the Hulk, which it seems you do lol
I'm enjoying other tie-ins as well, but the ones above are the ones I would recommend
Spider-Island
Matters of Life and Dearth
No Turning Back
These are the ones that standout to me.

I'm looking forward to Champions more than I thought. I don't usually go in for many team books, and I'm sick to death of Avengers. But this looks like it'll be fun.
Are you challenging me for my old guy throne?
Hard to say really but King City is the more complete comic, and it's what I prefer between the two.
Thanks a lot I'll try to look into some of those, I forgot I was already reading Power-Man and Iron Fist so time to catch up!
Really like this Evan Narcisse article on Deathstroke Rebirth: http://io9.gizmodo.com/deathstroke-gets-back-to-being-dc-comics-biggest-assho-1785816125
Cool, got Spider-Island, MoLaD, and No Turning Back. Also Spider-Verse because, I dunno, fuck it.
Hmm... born in 1974. Reading comics since 1979, though I had a break from 1996-2016 (except for a few months in 2008, which didn't take because of graduate school workload).
BTW: Any of you fine peeps interested in comics studies as an academic discipline?

meh. I'm tired of Superdad already. Tomasi had a chance to make him interesting to me, made two good issues and then made a long ass boring ass fight with the Eradicator lasting 4 issues. Looks like I'm on and off again just like new 52 Supes cus I'm not even gonna bother to pick #6 up. Then the book will get interesting again and I'll pick it up only for it to get thrown into a long ass crossover and I drop it again. Such is the way of the Superman line.

Really enjoyed Giant Days v2. Charming and heartfelt without ever feeling like they are trying too hard. Love the art (Both Treiman and Sarin's work). The Friday Night Lights gag was hilarious.
For some reason, till this volume, it completely missed me that this was set in England...

Genius comic
I have the essentials and I bought the MMW with the Proteus Saga when I thought I'd never get my hands on the omnibus. I need that 70s pop art colour for these stories to work for me.
Folks think Claremont begins with the Dark Phoenix Saga and ends with Days of Future Past, but neither of those have Wolverine getting traumatized by Proteus and refusing to fight, so Cyclops throws coffee in his face and beats the hell out of him to get him to stop being a little baby.
Welp you win, you started reading comics the year I was born.
I have been unseated as thread old guy!
