I'm glad we're getting this rather than stuff like Bendis on Avengers Assemble style movie friendly stuff as the main book. Feels like the creators have quite a bit of rope at Marvel, whereas at DC they have to rewrite entire plots when an editor sneezes.

So just bought RASL Vol. 1-3 and Madman Part 1 on Comixicology any other suggestions for Independent works. I've already read American Vampire, Transmetropolitan, Fear Agent, Bone, Last Days of Crime, Saga, some of Preacher, Ex Machina, The Goon and Scalped.

I really like the huge cast and heavy science-fiction/cosmic tone of the book so far but I think it will all read better for me in trade.
Manhattan Projects is great, one of my favorite books.

What I don't get is that Hickman said Avengers and New Avengers were going to be two sides of the same story arc but Avengers was about a group of beings who go from planet to planet trying to recreate it and if they fail they just destroy it while New Avengers there trying to stop the Anti-Monitor from collapsing the Marvel Multiverse while also interrogating his harbringer Black Swan. Not sure how they are connected.
Hickman Long Game.... shit's gonna take a minute

Avengers just introduced beings who create life on planets. New Avengers introduced beings who destroy life/planets. Avengers #3 ends with
Cap and Tony characterized as two men who represent life and death, respectively.

Wait, isn't Winter Soldier like just started?
Hope Liefeld is right about Red Robin though.
Brubaker left Winter Soldier, so I suppose it doesn't have much of a point now. Sort of like Venom after Remender left.

Slott woke Norman Osborn up back in ASM #697, and there's no way he's gonna pass on a Norman Osborn vs SpideyOck throwdown.

He's going to be the first to notice the change and will be Ock's first true test in being a Superior Spider-man by defeating or killing Osborn.

Those DC tidbits by Liefeld are bullshit. Brah didn't know shit about next months wave. There will be surprising books next wave, there always have been. And J'onn is getting a backup in JLA.
And what does he mean by DC Comics Presents? Why cancel DC Universe Presents to roll out DC Comics Presents? That seems a bit silly.
The stuff I read.

Bolded the great ones I've read
just go ahead and bump this all the way to the top of the reading list. Fatale & Prophet are both very good so far - but it's tough to recommend them over Phonogram vol 2 which is complete and amazing.

surprise, surprise Captain Marvel being cancelled they sent that book off to die with the awful art. I never such a big difference between cover and interior art before. Cover=upbeat and bright interior=mud.
Might as well add Glory to the list since it's ending in 2-3 issues.

Uncanny X-Force
Ultimate Comics Spiderman
Spidermen
Venom (vol.2)
Fatale
Prophet
These are what I read and would recommend.
For X-Force, it would be volumes 1 and 2.

The problem with uncanny s force you have to read new xmen and the complete age of apocalypse saga to understand it

Who's the writers/artists on it? Avoid anything from Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle. Everyone else is great.
Thanks for the suggestions
Are the x-men issues(Not sure which comic) that feature onslaught any good?
They're in volume 3, so 1 and 2 definitely doesn't have them on it

eh, not really. if you want to read the best of the x-men, the trilogy to get is:
morrison's new x-men
whedon's astonishing x-men
remender's uncanny x-force
Add Super Novas and Age of X to that and I think he's good to go.

Need to read that one.
I jumped into that one without knowing anything about it. SO great.

Mike Carey is underrated. He's right up there with Claremont and Morrison.

Uhh no, X-Force v.3 from Yost/Kyle was aces. That series brought me fully back into the fold of the X-Family, and it was a recommended book before Remender took over with UXF.
...
Is this still because of the New X-Men massacre?
There's no Hawkeye on this list.
The series is just super great and the next issue is out tomorrow.

Smart, hip, witty, gorgeous, and a must buy.
How many new X-Men did he kill?
Arctic Batman in a white costume? Was this a comic?
Something like over 40.
Random Aquaman just chilling.Bought this set today
Goddamn beautiful.
Literally the reason I bought it was for that Aquaman minifig.

Uncanny Avengets 3 what the fuck is this whit? Would love to know the uncredited artists on this....
The thing about Hawkeye is that it doesn't read like a typical comic. I feel that it has more of a graphic novel feel to it.
Pretty but a little annoying, unless you think using "bro" three times per sentence is witty, in which case, GENIUS.
