As a first timer, I wouldn't recommend Grant Morrison as his writing style won't click with you immediately.
For Superman, just go for All-Star Superman, has a beginning, middle and end, AND IS overall self contained

I would recommend Ultimate Spider-man by Bendis. Start with issue one and you have 100+ issues of classic awesome self contained Spidey stories done by the same creative team. It is still ongoing but there are definite story arcs that make natural end points, don't want to reveal more due to spoilers. Can be found pretty cheaply too either through picking up trades / hardcovers or by signing up Marvel Unlimited.
Other books worth considering:
Batman - Synder
Invincible - Kirkman
The Ultimates - Millar
Astonishing X-Men - Whedon (not an origin story but self contained and strait forward)

THANKS
This is awesome!When I said "Heath Huston" I head completely no idea what take you would do and now I know that a somber, more thoughtful Heath is exactly the kind of avatar I need. You're the man, ed
I'm totally gonna use this av everywhere.whatsinaname

Why would you want to do that? Your current set up is good, you should have as close to a 0 tax return as you can. Especially when you will have a home loan interest to pay off starting soon. Same thing with the tax bracket thing. Why do you want to get pushed back into a lower tax bracket, especially by donating?
They are also reprinting a lot of modern and classic stuff.
I hope we get soon a OHC of Dark Empire, so that I can retrire my old, pocket booksized Dark Horse Hardcover.

I know most of it sucks, but I'd like the Clone Wars stuff.
Also Dark Times was great stuff. Yo lo necesito!!!
I think, Dark Times is already announced... Cancelled them as I thinned out my orders last week, but I am still very tempted to preorder again...
Edit: Yeap, Dark Times gets an Epic: http://www.amazon.de/dp/0785193987/
Its not oversized and bad Paper, but tons of content for a compared cheap price, when you take the Superhero Epics... Fuck it, I preorder it again^^

Ed! Thanks for the awesome avatar!
I think this is going to be the weekend where I finally read Manhattan Projects. I've got every issue, but haven't looked at them yet. The fact that it's Hickman and I keep reading all this hype around it, I feel like I don't want to read it unless I can really dive into it, which I should be able to do today and tomorrow. Woooo!

Enjoy mate, you might not like the art much, but if you do, keep in mind that the artist drew 100+ issues of Ultimate Spiderman.

If sillymonkey is one end of the spectrum and Ben is the other, I'm inclined to believe that the sequence was just ok and will be forgotten about by next Wednesday.
How do you think Hickman will deal with Dormammu and Shuma Gorath within Avengers/New Avengers? I know that Hickman is most likely going to start cycling through powerful beings and why they can't save 616 or their universes, so curious to know how these two will be addressed or they similar to The Beyonder, being outside of the Marvel universes since they are in their own dimensions.

Yeah, but that was with rotating creative teams. USM was just Bendis & Bagley.

So many ideas and concepts in Doom Patrol. I love it. In the painting that ate Paris arc and it's awesome. Fascinating that the story actually incorporates DC characters even though it's Vertigo.
McFarline Toys has to get their shit straight. Their Walking Dead line is great, but they aren't hitting character releases in a timely fashion. They have yet to make a Tyreese, yet they re-hashed Jesus using parts from Glen/Michonne and a re-sculpted head from the Skybound release. Then they throw in a stupid original "pin coushion" zombie. Abraham and Carl are the only high points of the wave coming out in July/August.

his face when he slams the car down, like "yeah nigga...I just did that shit. Hold dat L"
its easy, just think of a comic book that you lik--
....oh
Read Casanova: Acedia #1 and it was good stuff. The colors were stunning, but in general it's difficult to say much after such a short read. I'm definitely intrigued, though. I take it there are a couple hardcover volumes of previous Casanova comics and I should buy (and maybe read?) all of them?
But the ads for other Image comics at the back made me go "man, they really are putting a ton of interesting stuff out, aren't they?" I want to read every one of those books!

Yeah, there are three previous arcs, and you definitely should read them to contextualize all that's going on in Acedia. Also, you'll be reading through Fraction creating everything that makes him Modern Fraction, in terms of his storytelling kraft (Elnarez had a good post on that).
Do you buy them though or steal them? Be honest
Yeah, I know in practical terms paying the correct amount of taxes all year is better than overpaying and getting a lump sum back, but getting lump sums is great fun.
And actually, just did the calculations with the 2015 tax brackets and I guess they've made it so that there's no sudden jump in taxes once you move from one tax bracket to another. It's just a gradual rise. (Link to the 2015 tax bracket in case you're interested)
So yeah, disregard that. Looks like it makes no difference which tax bracket I end up in.
Did like a quadruple take at that panel, no fucks given lmao
OK, I'll get on that then. Especially what Filthy wrote sounds interesting.
Man without fear.

Tell ya what...can you make a Big Bird avatar please? I loved that bird as a kid, he's my fav. Muppet.
Yeah, we'll have to wait two weeks for the next issue.
EDIT: Huh. Looks like we're getting two issues next month.
