Between Saga, Shutter, and Wayward this was one brutal week for comics damn!
Alright, so I started a Comixology free trial to look at some vol 1 trades to start thinking about making a pull list at my local shop. I'm looking to follow ~5-8 comics or so, and here's what I'm looking at so far:
Maybe:
Bitch Planet
Black Science
Casanova
Deadly Class
Rat Queens
Southern Bastards
Lazarus
The Manhattan Projects
In Progress:
East of West
Sex Criminals
Pull List:
Paper Girls
Saga
Basically stuff in my pull list is what I've caught up on, stuff in my in-progress is what I've started catching up on, and stuff in my maybe is what I'm going to look at the first few issues of. Anything I should add to the list or look at first from my maybe list?
Obviously I'm not super into cape stuff, but I did enjoy Hawkeye, and I read all of Ultimate Spider-Man a long time ago.

I vote for the bolded!
I'm pretty sure I can get the trades of East of West through my library, and after having read the first volume I'm like 80% sure I'll add it to my pull list.
I'm waffling around about which of the ones in my maybe list to start the first volume of.
Saga
East of west
Deadly class
The rest is just filler to hold you till those 3

Apologies if this is against the rules, but my newest comic is now up on Comixology!
Rose #4 - More adventures of comic's hungriest redhead! In this issue Rose tries to be an adult, fails completely, and tries to at least get a good meal out the whole ordeal. Also: therapy, trivia contests and adopting a sheep!

The moment Edgar Wright dicked around with Janet not being in Ant-Man and the movie rights of X-Men and Ike being a dick about Black Widow, yeah, that's how we got here. And then Bendis thought she would fit into CW2.
I was reading Wonder Woman #15 and was extremely confused by it, before gradually realizing that for some reason my comics store never set aside Wonder Woman #13 for me, so there's a good reason for that.
Also, Saga #42 --

now that's a pretty merciless ending, and it's hard to imagine the Gwendolyn character coming back from that.

Generation Zero #9 is the final issue!?

Oh yeah, that guy. We should've directed him to the manga ot. Every second review/recommendation there nowadays seems to be hentai anyway... I am honestly surprised the thread hasn't gone the way of figuregaf ot.
And "All-New, All Different" as well as "All-New Marvel Now". Who comes up with this stuff? Axel Alonso's son?
Speaking of which, I really hope Marvel get an new EiC in the next few years. They need someone to come up with better event formats and book organization for the line.
They won't learn until something dramatic happens. Companies are almost always reactive.

Red Hood & the Outlaws was nice, but I'm glad I waited for the arc to finish before reading

All Marvel needs to do is slow down and let books breathe for about a year or 2
RHatO is the biggest surprise of Rebirth after Green Arrow.

And this happened on Trump's watch. Charge him with crimes against humanity right now.
BTW, I'm really digging the Stalinverse books. So good. And I'm looking forward to the new X-O series, too.

Marvel is too afraid to let go of the status quo to attempt something like that. They looked like they had something with All-New All-Different, but the books pretty much fell right back into the same routines within a couple arcs.
Not from what I've seen. I may be forgetting about some books though.
Also, wouldn't a Rebirth style relaunch be moving closer to the status quo, while ANAD and some parts of Marvel Now were moving away from it?
I'm as surprised as you. Like I said, biggest surprise after Green Arrow being great.
Easily one of the best relaunches of the year

Alright, give it to me straight folks, are Batgirl and Batgirl co-starring Birds of Prey worth reading?
I skipped that whole Burnside run and I hear this might be more of that...?

If you don't like Burnside than don't bother with Batgirl.
Pretty much.

Because that helps everything
The only Zenescope book I ever read was Death Squad, which had the main character's pregnant wife getting brutally raped and murdered in front of him because they needed to be bad guys and he needed to be angry enough to come back from the dead and be a good guy.
I didn't read past #1.
I know right?
I really enjoy Birds of Prey. It's fun book, though it seems like it can't really find it's tone. Sometimes it's very light, and other times it's dark, but it never quite seems to find a good balance and ends up coming off a bit tone deaf. That and some of the panel work is choppy. Like, it feels like shit just happens, though there's enough context to know why it happens.

Every time I re-read Azzarello's WW run I like it more and more.
I'm not even that mad about the amazon rape stuff and Aleka's bitch ass anymore.

Does it actually legit improve as it goes on? Azzarello himself has been side-eye worthy as of late, but people have praised that book up and down.

I'm up to issue #15 and I personally feel it has. Azzarrello's usage of WW's supporting cast (specifically the greek gods) is really well done imo, though I do remember my interest at the end of his run slacking somewhat in my last re-read. The First Born business just got boring.
Nonetheless his run is part of my WW trinity with Rucka's first run and George Perez taking the other two spots. William Messner-Loebs' run deserves an honorary mention but it starts going steeply downhill when Diana manages to locate Themyscira tbh.
I've been trying to change to this for about a week now. someone finally got it done for me.
It is a big surprise, considering the writer.
For me though, Superman's main title becoming a top-tier book for the first time in my lifetime is an even bigger surprise.
It's not terrible, but not special at all. If you haven't read the original run of Birds of Prey (at least through the end of Simone's run) then that's definitely much much better than what we're getting now.

Is there a reading order for Archie and the side books?
Nope read whatever order you like. Read Archie first. It's the best of the bunch.
Read Afterlife with Archie too. That book is dope.
The only reason that wasn't a big surprise to me was because it was Tomasi and Gleason. I knew there was a very good chance it would be great.

I've already ready afterlife with archie. It was good but the art was amazing.
