Out of the current/most recent X-men series, which is the best one to read, keeping in mind that I know nothing about the X-men?

Well, All-New X-Men and Uncanny are my favorites, but they tie into each other pretty heavily, so I wouldn't read one without the other. Barring those two, my vote would go for "X-Men".

Just read Justice League 3000 #2. I love it but I have no idea where they are going, especially after that incident near the end of the issue. I will definitely be sticking with this series for a while.

Did Inoue ever stop playing video games?
Lone Wolf and Cub. It's available in cheap paperback omnibus editions, great deals.

Could I manage to understand them both if I bought trades instead of individual issues or would they not line up as well that way?

Also can't go wrong with the GOAT samurai comic

That's a good question. Off the top of my head, I would have to say that trades would be a bit trickier. The events of both books run parallel. They don't directly cross over too often, though it does happen on occasion. The trades would probably be cheaper, though. Especially with online discounts. So go that route.
thanks.
is there any reason why vagabond vol 4 costs a ridiculous amount?
thanks to you guys as well

It might be out-of-print. It's being collected into the VizBIG editions, though. Probably better to get those, since you'd get the first six volumes of manga by purchasing the first two VizBIG editions.
Yeah sorry, I mean the vizbig edition of volume 4.
1-3, 5-11 are all available for regular price. Vol 4 is $100 everywhere
Frank Miller's Ronin as well.

If that fails, try Animenation.com, they still have it up as well.

While I've enjoyed several of Moore's works, he just comes off as an asshole (again) and this time surprisingly whiny too. Disappointing.

An asshole? How come?
I didn't get that at all. I thought it was really funny and thoughtful. There's also a warmth to his style of writing, particularly in these sorts of things, that I find really endearing.
I went back to his first appearance in Phantom Stranger, basically it's because he has a sense of humor. I'm just gonna link to the panels to avoid spoilers - http://imgur.com/t0Oc7z7
Brian Wood's X-Men is currently the best X-book. It's only 8 issues in but three of them were tie-ins for the rubbish Battle of the Atom event.

Wolverine and the X-Men. Omnibus (complete series in one book) out in a few months if that's your thing.
Alternatively, the Remender-era Uncanny X-Force is recent, and damn good comics. Omnibus of that comes out in March (I have mine ordered, aw yiss).

I got it. I didn't even realize it was coming out. It was supposed to be out over the summer.

Catching up on some reading; I have a three week backlog.
Black Science #2 was pretty cool. I enjoy the intellectual exercise imagining what led to the state of the world in each dimension. We'll see if it remains fascinating or becomes wrote over time.
Then there is Green Arrow. Maybe you guys heard about it??? It's amaze-balls. #27 was really, really good.

Really enjoyed Magneto's story in Uncanny X-men today. I hope his upcoming ongoing will have him go to war with
Doubt it's gonna be about that though.
Also Daredevil continues to be great.
Mystique and co.

Green Arrow is the best book DC is publishing, I vote for it for book of the month every time.
The Outsiders War arc has been nothing short of phenomenal, I totally didn't see twist at the end of #27 coming.

ongoing, huh? Alright, i'm in for Nauck

All-New Vol 1. is the first trade. That kicks off All-New's story and sets up Uncanny. From there they don't completely line up chronologically until you get to Battle of the Atom.

Superior is most certainly in its end stages though, with a new start for Spider man in April.
So... the main villain of He-Man vs DC crossover is none other than
Well now I HAVE to read it. I read the first dozen or so issues of the MOTU relaunch, and it was implied that Orko was responsible for turning traitor or something and allowing skeletor to win. Maybe I should pick the series back up.

Hahaha, awesome. It could also be a reference to the movie Best in Show. There was a line that was "God loves a terrier" or something similar.

That's something i've never heard. I always hear about how tops that book is. it has probably the best rotating art team right now, so i take their word for it

That's the point, it seems like JM and Ray have crafted a well thought out story and every little detail is something.

Nah, first two trades are pretty much the same in terms of art quality.

The God is Dog thing is a joke and hten an inspirational thing by some preachers.
Basically saying we are God's dogs. Expect to be obedient. Evil is Live for the same thing.
The joke is just a commentary on the backward spellings of evil and God.

no Harley, no problem
Funny you should say that. I had Harley Quinn Preludes And Knock Knock Jokes and Harley Quinn: Night and Day in my cart but I couldn't afford them
I just ordered:
Y The Last Man: Vol 4 and 5 Hardcover (This is the end for me
Locke & Key Vol 1 Hardcover
Chew Vol 7: Bad Apples
American Vampire Vol 2
Catwoman Vol. 1: Trail of the Catwoman
I think I did well. Right folks?
Looks pretty good! I should get on that Y, and AV train. I promised my self I have to finish sandman before picking up a new series.
I wouldn't say that, but it does get a little different since a somewhat more traditional narrative begins developing and you get some consistent regular cast members.
Y the last man is truly something else. I have become horribly attached to the main characters and im trying to space it out as ive only two HB's left.

Y really struck home for me too. I almost wish i didn't read it so i could experience it for the first time all over again.
