Gillen + McKelvie. Book it.
Is she a robot lady or just a robot? Or just a lady that looks like a robot?

The beginning is where you want to start. From there just follow in order for trades/library editions.
If you want to read BPRD too, check out Multiversity's reading guide for the series. Great way to follow along and keep everything lined up. Of course, you don't have to follow it exactly, but it's a good reference. BPRD is great btw, just as good as Hellboy once it gets going-- it's a fantastic team comic and basically becomes the main book for the series over time.
Hm.

She's a girl in a suit! It used to be a huge robot she had a symbiotic relationship with:
But the AI sacrificed itself to save her and now she wears the undersuit, with a different powerset:
Hmmmm yesss.
*Looks at all the comics Geoff wrote with people being brutally killed, Superboy forever obsessing about being half Superman and half Lex Luthor and overall helped to make the DC universe overall a more darker deadlier place overall for a decade*
Trump does suck a huge CHEMO though.
Same!
And she's dating
I enjoy the way their arc played out. I think Toni and Aikku are why I'm still reading USAvengers. Since they dropped the best character already 😡

Darth Vader is kinda an asshole, huh?

The Wild Storm #5: Great issue. Another slower world building issue like #4
but that Mike vs Miles sequence was so damned good! Such crisp storytelling. 4 pages to completely flesh out Mike and show us what kind of decisions he might take next. And about half a page to show how big of a bastard Craven is. The arc seems to have stepped back from the powder keg building over the first three issues. Major confrontations might come much later in the run than I initially expected. I am guessing the last panel is leading into a big action sequence.
Also, the transitions from #3 to #4 and #4 to #5 are so damn smooth. This is going to read great in trades.

I don't either. The books is giving us all we need to know about them. It just follows the less is more John Wick type of world building.

Hey I just saw Morrisons/J.G. Jones's Marvel boy mini finally is on CMX now. Fun series

I'm gonna go ahead and call it now that Ellis is going to
flip the Daemonite/Kherubim roles from the original Wildstorm comics
I'd also like to take a moment to acknowledge how incredible this version of Zealot is.

I am not
familiar with how they were in the old series. Also, is Kenesha a Daemonite or is that a red herring?
Zealot is awesome. Hoping to see a lot more of her.
I know she is a Kherubim based on the Storm watch run I read recently.
Liking Sue and Reed over Ben and Johnny is weird.
I like Reed over Johnny but yeah that is weird.
Honestly they really should go into the loss of their nephew/niece though.
Yeah, Iceman was legit good.

I'm likely alone on an island, but it's not even close.
Sue is the best. Reed is the perfect transhumanist asshole. Both are always interesting.
Ben I just hate, period. Johnny was fun for like two issues as Spider-Man's roommate.
no i'm with you on finding sue / reed considerably more interesting than ben / jonny
Wildstorm spoilers
Kenesha was a Kehurbim, and was actually Zealot's daughter.
In the old books the Kherubim were good and the Daemonites were evil (angels vs demons, Jim Lee was so clever! ha). Both races ended up on Earth thousands of years ago when battling ships crashed here.

Like I said though, I have a feeling that is going to be flipped this go round.
Ehh I don't believe that. Yes, he writes the occasional dark/violent parts in his comics, but there is lots of positivity/optimism, too. There was a lot of it in Superman. Tons of it in JSA.
It doesn't have to be one thing or the other.
Yeah, literally all the bad shit in Geoff Johns comic is just raising the stakes, making the darkness that much bigger so it's that much more powerful when the heroes end up winning.
Iceman #1 & #2: 1 was ok, 2 was much better. Why did the book change artists after one issue? The art in #2 was better but it's not great. Loved how Bobby and Kitty were written in #2.
Guardians of the galaxy #4:
What a fantastic series so far. Each issue is better than the last. Kuder's art is really fitting and the characters all feel really well written. I feels like their movie counterparts which I'm sure will bother some but I love it. Gamora is straight up fire in #4. Rocket is written much better than Bendis ever achieved. Can't wait for more.

Unlike Brad Meltzer who's Identity Crisis is better left in the retcon void.

Always enjoy reading Sue and Reed. Fascinating characters in their various interpretations
Zdarsky's Spider-Man is going to be divisive because it's super quippy and has a lot of dialogue, but the story is heading in the right direction and the art is good as well.
Guardians is just a straight up really good book that appeals to both fans of the older Guardians stuff and people who liked the movies.
I agree and Sue isn't really all that much better either.

Quick question: Kamala knows Miles' civilian identity but not vice versa, correct?
I loved Peter Parker. Like a lot.
New Patriot was a bust. What a bummer of an introduction.
Is this a really good run of Guardians or is Guardians typically a good book?

I think he might? Doesn't he call her by name in Champions? Kamala deffo knows his though.

Exactly. There are interesting stories to tell there. Can't say the same for the other two. Yancy Street is never interesting. The womanizer who lights on fire makes me snooze.
He's rarely evil, but he frequently views everything and everyone as disposable in completing his objectives. He's evil in the utilitarian sense, but he doesn't enter situations with the goal of harming people. He's the smartest man in the room and frequently an asshole. He's also usually right.
You enjoy more "well-rounded" and "three dimensional" characters like Blue Beetle!
I'm still on cloud nine from the Council of Reeds story. Hickman FF was a fucking trip.

Okay, yep I found the answer. During that one science fair issue, they both discovered each other's identities.
There are really well regarded past Guardians runs, but the previous one was bad.

Heh, I just got Library Editions 1-3 in the mail today. They are ***gorgeous*** . Seems like library editions and the 4 BPRD "frogs" omnibuses are the way to go.

I hope the industry learns its lesson after shops shell out a fuckton of money for this inevitable nothing of an event in "Marvel Legacy".
They've gotta stop buying into the hype and stop over-ordering at some point.

They won't. Just like every other time people have thought it might happen.
Some of the BPRD omnibuses are out of print and are expensive.

Picked up My Favorite Thing is Monsters today. Can't wait to start reading. Debating whether to read that or plow through Black Science first.

? Everything is available pretty readily and affordably, unless you mean hardcovers or something.
I wish we could have Vader as a movie.

Finally started the most recent arc of Lazarus. Issue #22, I believe. Soooo good. Still love this series as much as ever.
Currently I'm eating m&ms and watching F is for Family season 2.
