I suppose. Didn't take that into account. Which pains me because it's obvious.

Good guy Magneto is still a profoundly dumb idea.
Duly noted. I was hoping there wouldn't be a drop off but I'll enjoy what I can.
Dude, these first couple of issues look amazing. The pencils, colors, everything.

I wonder what pages she will do on the next big Rebirth book? You think she'll be on odds or evens?

Everyone knows that. But did you also know that Joelle Jones was in the CIA?

So Civil War takes the real history of police oppression of blacks in the US and turns it into a story about how two elite whites feel about their jobs.
Which is such dead-on satire of mainstream media that it can't possibly be intentional.

Why would there be filler? Two trades one 5 issues and one with 6.
Flicking through stuff on Comixology and I forgot about All-New X-Factor. The issue where Polaris, Scarlet Witch and Danger go to a Renaissance Fair and they make Danger wear a cloak so she doesn't stand out. It isn't referenced at all anywhere in the issue (I'm sure that was deliberate on Peter David's part) that she looks exactly like Dr Doom.

All-New X-Factor was before that Uncanny Avengers arc.

Finally took an axe to my reading list, and this is all that's left.
Captain America: Sam Wilson
Captain America: Steve Rogers
The Mighty Thor
Spider-Woman
The Unworthy Thor
I wanted to cut it down as much as possible so I can free up time and money to read older/completed runs, and to save money by waiting on sales for any current books I can stand to do that with.
Every Image book got dropped immediately because they have great sales so frequently. I can come pretty close to being current on those by sale-waiting and save enormous amounts of money.
The DC stuff was easy to leave off because I haven't even tried any Rebirth books (except Wonder Woman) yet, so I don't even know what I'm missing. Plus, a lot of the older books I'm trying to focus on at this time are DC, so I'm covered with those characters.
Note: I left The Vision off because it's almost over. I didn't drop it.

Do it man
The recent story arcs have been stellar.
This latest one is divisive, let me warn you now, at least its conclusion. It does however have some great moments here and there. I think #53 was my fav. That or #52

Why does he wear the mask!?

What keeps putting me off is I can never tell who anyone is. Majority of the characters are new to me
Same here. I think I only read the first volume. >_<

Hmm want me to provide a reading order?
The thing about the comic is the writing and characterization, by reading the comic you well..KNOW who the characters are.
Roberts manages to give each character his or her own personality and quirks.
It gets better and better, but it helps to first read Chaos Theory and Last Stand of the Wreckers since they are mentioned in later stories.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
yeah I'm learning who they are, just at times I'll look at the page and think "who the hell is this?"
Only when they mention the name do I realize

What's it about mate? Might give it a read
Boy playing catch with his dad runs into a forrest and goes missing. Family's life falls apart as they are accused of killing him ect. Appears a year later as a fully grown Thor like hero.
Great book
Art is incredible
Lashley

Red Hood & the Outlaws Rebirth: A good surprise. Whatever the last Lobdell book I read was, I remember hating it with a passion and I've never particularly cared about Jason Todd since his return either. I like the angle they're taking with this character and this could be a good series. Very good art as well. 3/5
Titans #1: Better than expected after the terrible Rebirth issue. Brett Booth's 90s Image art still ruins the book unfortunately but I like that Abnett is actually adressing the Rebirth mystery. And the Titans' interactions with each other are fun, they do feel like old friends. I didn't really understand the train of thought that lead them to track down Mr. Twister though, that was confusing. 2.5/5
Nightwing #1: This one was a little bit puzzling. I can see that this was a solid issue but with so many Bat books it felt a little too familiar. It doesn't really have much of a hook for me so far and the Court of Owls stuff feels redundant at this point. I'll give it another issue. 2.5/5
With Red Hood being a lot better than I thought, I'm going to have some tough decisions to make in the coming weeks because I'm gonna need to stop following a lot of books. I wanted to give every Rebirth series a shot but I didn't expect that I would end up liking so many of them. With New 52, I read almost every first issue and a few months in that number was down to between 5 and 10 books a month from DC. Now, it's feels like the same number per week.

Birthright is a book that has kept getting better with each and every issue. It's insanely good now.

In what way? Magneto fighting for mutantkind is better than Saturday morning supervillain.
Blame Forever Evil, because that's when the drop off happens. But also blame DeMatteis, because he's the writer. And he's on it for the remaining 4 volumes after that.
So it's about dudes who aren't Dick Grayson?

Why does there listing for the Harbinger deluxe edition list the exact same books as the Harbinger Wars deluxe edition? Both say they contain issues #1-14 of Harbinger when you look at them on Comixology. Typo? Are there even 14 issues of Harbinger Wars?
Good lord it would be nice if he was doing interiors. What is the over and under on this book turning out good. I never heard anything positive about the new 52 stuff.

The Seeley issues(#17 to the end where the Rebirth team does the final issue)have been pretty great. Wish he would keep doing the book in Rebirth.Hagi said:

New 52 wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either. It was decent fun for the first few volumes and then quickly dropped off. I dropped New Suicide Squad after the first arc.. It was just not good.
All I know is that I'm not picking it up.
