Apparently, everyone is drawing that 80 page Multiversity issue next month

The guidebook to the greatest adventure in DC’s history is here! With a detailed concordance featuring each of the 52 worlds in the Multiverse, a complete history of DC Comics’ universe-shattering “Crisis” events, a map of all known existence, AND an action-packed dual adventure starring Kamandi of Earth-51 alongside the post-apocalyptic Atomic Knight Batman of Earth-17 and chibi Batman of Earth-42, this 80-page mountain of MULTIVERSITY madness cannot be missed! The MULTIVERSITY GUIDEBOOK contains everything you ever wanted to know about DC’s parallel worlds and their super-heroic inhabitants. Meet the Agents of W.O.N.D.E.R. The Light Brigade, the Super-Americans and the Love Syndicate! Meet the Accelerated Man, Aquaflash, BiOmac and more! Overflowing with today’s top artists and completely written by Grant Morrison himself, readers of the DC Universe can’t afford to pass up this oversized, sixth chapter of MULTIVERSITY!

So, out of curiosity, what's the general consensus on best titles of Marvel and DC. Pretty much fell off comics for the most part. Had a weird moment musing on Spider-man where everything just ended up feeling pointless with those universes.

Is Loki still good? I rather liked the first few issues. I've also been hearing good things on that Ms. Marvel series.
Click to expand...

For me, I'm going to say:

  • Ms. Marvel
  • Grayson
  • Gotham Academy
  • Harley Quinn
  • Silver Surfer
  • Uncanny X-Men
  • All-New X-Men
  • Catwoman
  • Avengers
  • New Avengers

Merry holidays comic brahs.


Axis is gone, and so Uncanny Avengers will soon be back to kick ass. It was an okay event, but I had fun with it.

Batman 36 that whole reveal was just amazing. I like this version of
the Joker
as much as I enjoyed Morrison's version.

Now to start catching up with Batman and Robin. Only 18 issues to go!!

Just read issue 2 of Tooth and Claw. I was a little weary about this from the first issue, but holy crap by the second page of this one there is a lion man with a beam sword riding on a grasshopper fucking up skeksis knock offs. AWESOME! Also, no more tiger boobs. Just a lot of dong.

For Christmas my parents got me some of the New 52 Batman trades, the first trade for Gotham Central, and a JLA shirt. My sister got me some old Harley Quinn issues from like 2002 or so, she knows me so well.

Do you mean of what is currently being published or of all time?

Out of what is still being released, I find myself enjoying the following titles the most:

-Silver Surfer
-Ms. Marvel
-Secret Avengers
-Captain Marvel
-Rocket Raccoon
-All New X-Men
-Uncanny X-men
-She-Hulk
-Black Widow

Hickman's Avengers is really good, but I'm personally behind on that saga. Hawkeye is fantastic, but has a really shitty release schedule and Superior Foes of Spider-Man just ended ;_;
Click to expand...

Ah, meant current. Sorry, I should have been more specific. Heard good things on most of those as I recall.

I can recognize that Hickman's work is good, but something about it just doesn't appeal to me. Not sure what. And is Hawkeye still doing that ridiculous thing with that gang that always says bro? Superior Foes is another one I've always heard great things about and heard was really funny.

I rather want to pick up some of the trades for these, but worry they'll just release some hardcover edition down the line that collects like 12 issues.

Current? Batman Eternal is pretty great.
Kinda wish more big comics would try weekly runs.

Call me crazy but after Eternal ends i'd probably try Detective as a weekly/bi-weekly and keep everything else the same.

I may look into that one once it ends. How is Detective since the writer change? I think it was the people who were on Flash previously, correct?

Wait, Catwoman got good?

Grayson I read the first two of and liked. Not familiar with Gotham Academy, but will look into it.

Adding onto what the others have already said for good Marvel/DC stuff, I highly recommend Superman. It's been consistently great since the new creative team took over with issue 32.

And I'm always behind on it, but Daredevil is a good choice too.

Yeah, the very minute Ann Nocenti stopped writing it. It's being written by Genevieve Valentine, now. This is her first comic writing gig, I believe. But she's a sci-fi / fantasy author.

Well, that's good to hear. Wasn't aware Nocenti had left.

It was only a few issues ago, so you don't have more than three or four issues to catch up on. They've changed the angle of the book a bit. Selina is now a big player in the organized crime aspect of Gotham. It's different, but it's been very enjoyable and well-written.

Speaking of JRJR these Wolverine comics are basically everything I wanted Wolverine to be when I was eleven or twelve. Fuckin ace tbh

I like Red Son less than I remembered tho, mostly cuz of the third issue outside the ending. A Mark Millar comic for people who don't like Mark Millar comics

Has she gone full on villain or sort of using the position to help the city in her own way?

Serpentine said:

Mind MGMT is a great call. Maybe Zero too?
Click to expand...

When you say Zero is it the spy one I am seeing on amazon? "Zero Volume 1: An Emergency TP"?

And how many TP are there of this series, I am seeing 3?

It is catching my eye! Along with the others listed.

At 25 years old my body is still trained to wake up at 6 in the morning on Christmas Day. I guess I'll drink some coffee and read Sunstone and keep catching up in SiP.
