Other than Priest's run are there any other Black Panther runs I should check out if I havent read anything in the past? I havent read any of his solo books aside from the first issue of this new book out now and am looking for what are considered the best runs. His stuff in Hickman's Avengers was awesome but never really read much with him in it aside from the 2nd Ultimates book. I actually bought the first issue of Priests run when it first came out in 98 but never followed the book after.
That trailer was sick btw. Really hope the movie turns out good. Wish they had done the storyline from the Ultimates though.

NOT Reginald Hudlin's run, unless you want some laughs.

I mentioned Jason Aaron's 3 issue Secret Invasion tie-in before but as for longer solo runs there's really only Priest that's really good. Avoid Hudlin like the plague.

Is this the book with Romita Jr?

I've heard it's good. Haven't gotten to reading it yet.

This latest arc has been some good shit. I was so happy when Bendis said he wouldn't be tying into Secret Wars because it's been so long since the book hasn't been interrupted by events.
No it's because he didn't write the event.

I'm surprised that people are surprised to find this in a Chaykin book. I read it Wednesday so I know exactly the scene they're talking about and yup, it's a Chaykin comic.

So I read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (new Runaways writer), and it was so totally my shit. I'm more excited than ever now, I've got no concerns about her being able to do them justice.

Black Panther looks amazing!
There's a two-issue arc in Hickman's Fantastic Four (#607 and #608) that's really good. It deals with his relationship with Reed Richards and his crowning as King of the Dead.
As someone posted above, the Secret Invasion tie-in was really good too and there's also the current series which is definitely worth reading as well, I think they are doing a hardcover of the first 12 issues.

The BP trailer almost makes up for the new BP artist.

What's the reading order for Brubaker's Cap? Saw it was on sale at CMX and thought I should grab a volume or two since my old trades fell apart aside from Reborn.
Donnie, you saw this?

If you buy the collected editions on Comixology, you're gonna miss a few issues like the House of M (#10) and Civil War (#22-24) tie-ins. But you can basically start with Winter Soldier Vol. 1 and 2, Red Menace Ultimate Collection and then Death of Cap Vol. 1-3 for starters.

I want to say this is from the year of monsters variant series Mike did a few years back. Very cool regardless! Anyone after a creepy wolf story should def read the wolves of st. august HB story.
Pretty well known, in the comics Hellboy & the BPRD are very public facing. Plus as you mention, the idea to that run is the actual apocalypse is going on as a backdrop. These are the normal people on the ground, trying to live their life and make sense of it when everything they've known is being unravelled and all security is stripped away. City sized monsters and demons are making the earth their home, these people have been desensitised to horror. Abe's book is cool too because it's kind of an analog of HB right. Two figures running from their supposed destiny, two men who are monsters but while HB went into the unknown and became fairly solitary, Abe seeks out his answers, and people and tries to live amongst them to try and be who he wants to be. It's a shame he and HB never met again in those circumstances with so much having changed in their lives, if only to see they aren't as alone as they think.
(How far are you in Abe? There's a really great little easter egg between vol 1 of Abe & Arcudi's BPRD run, I didn't pick it up until my second read through, wondering if you spotted it)

Yeah, dropping Detective Comics after the Victim Syndicate trade. It was such a chore to read through. Competent but about as fresh and well written as a 10th season of a CBS procedural.

Haha damn. I really liked that trade. The actual victim syndicate and the way they shake out wasn't the strongest, but I like the character work and time given to the character beats in the book. Of course, if you don't like Tynion's writing style or ear for dialogue, I can imagine it just doubling down on what you didn't like.
Yo wut! maybe they changed their mind on who they wanted Thor to be.

What easter egg
Abe and Grace just decided to go their separate ways
I'll reiterate what I've said: the book is really bad on a basic craftsmanship level and as such it's kinda not worth it to think about what's in there as a coherent political statement. From what's in there, Chaykin sure as shit didn't think about anything in that book, so why the fuck should you?

I'll stick it in tags but it's a minor detail for Abe's first arc and a self contained issue in BPRD around vol 10,if anyone is unsure to click or not.
Do you remember the one shot in BPRD about the coffee shop dude who is trying to get someone to do something about the weird fungal grown that killed his neighbour? The neighbour is the radio presenter who doesn't show up for work by the end of the first arc as Abe is leaving the Salton sea. Both characters are named Ira. I checked with Arcudi and he said I was the first to pick that up that had mentioned it to him haha
I just thought that was a really cool subtle tie! Really nice attention to detail.

What the fuck.
I wondered if anybody at Image looked at this and thought it was a good idea to release it on Pride month.
Oh wow. I didn't think the Transformers comics were that popular.

Also, no Marvel.
I guess they were going with an Odyn thing with the white beard and one eye but not anymore? Weird.
Still not a fan of them not given that hammer to Thor, it's kinda BS that he's still hammerless after this long.

Hey at least Marvel got #10 in the US
I still think it's Odin. Or they go nuts and make everyone Thor

RIP Mr. West 
While I still love the comic, he has been kinda just been putting a lot of weird shit into it, without actually telling us what's happening. Weird how we still have no idea what either of the factions are about or what they're even doing.

Most of the previous series is on sale right now.
Lost Light is great though. It's meandered a bit too much since the relaunch, but it's still highly enjoyable.
Yeah these six issues have been rough. Probably the weakest material Roberts has written for the series.
Which, I mean, it's still fine. It just isn't as good as what it's following.
