Of the comics I've read so far and not in any specific order:

1) Low
2) Invincible
3) Bitch Planet
4) Black Science
5) Paper Girls
6) Lazarus
7) Pretty Deadly
8) Fatale
9) Tokyo Ghost
10) Descender

Lazarus
Saga
Sex Criminals
Wayward
East of West
Manifest Destiny
The Fix
Shutter
Walking Dead
Invincible

Good calls on Paper Girls, Tokyo Ghost, Wayward, The Fix, and The Walking Dead as well.

I could have easily done a top 20.

Karnak is proof positive that Ellis is in dire need of a very hard kick in the balls.
"Satan was just a story. I'm Karnak."
? Really? Fuck outta here with your Spider Knight Jerusalem asshattery, Warren.

I noticed From Hell is on sale on Comixology. Any thoughts on it?

I usualy like/love Alan's work.

Couldn't get through From Hell. Just couldn't. Neither the art nor the writing appealed to me. At all.

Would suggest reading a preview before going in.
 
no particular order

Manhattan Projects
Phonogram (haven't read v3 but Singles Club is so damn good)
Velvet
Rumble

Sex Criminals

How could I forget about Southern Bastards?

Image is too good

I also just picked up Trees. That kind of sci-fi is right up my alley

One day I will finish Fraction's run on Hawkeye but the artist changes and kate's roadtrip made me stop

Kate's bit is the best part of the book. Fuck all happens with Clint for ages. I nearly dropped it because of the Clint issues midway onwards.

Kate is a cool character, but I wanted to get back to my boy Clint. Madame Masque is one of my favs though so I was cool with her popping up.

Not to mention there's a ton of stuff that I'm interested in getting down the road like Elephantmen, Revival, East of West, Deadly Class, Manhattan Projects and a lot more.

And shit I can't believe I forgot to add Saga on there. Honestly the only Image book I've read that I'm not crazy about is Shutter but I've only read the first TP so far.

Shutter is incredible but if the first trade didn't hook you then I don't see the rest changing your mind.
 

Dead

well not really...yet
Stopped this by this new-ish comic book joint I noticed today, went in and they literally had nothing but Marvel trades and books. Was kinda grossed out. Not even a single bat book. Weird.

too early to put stuff like paper girls, monstress, and tokyo ghost in a list imo.

paper girls and tokyo ghost feel like they can go from good to bad withing 2 issues.

By the measure The Fix has even less of a reason to be there.

lol I haven't read the fix. I try not to buy new series till I tidy the backlog. I only judge what I read.

My series to start list:
black road

mirror

descender

drifter

wolf

southern bastard.

sons of the devil

outcast

wicked +booty

Yeah you are probably right Messi. Shutter stays pretty consistant all the way through unlike say Lazarus which starts off kind slow and gets better and better.

In general I agree but I made Monstress my exception because i feel like first issue was basically an arc unto itself. Which means it's essentially getting ready to finish its second arc.

Southern Bastards #1

Basically a mix "Walking Tall "Friday Night Lights" , and "Gran Torino" mixed together covered in gravy and served at an Small Local Alabama restaurant with a large sweat tea.

5/5.

For what it's worth the first volume didn't really sell me, but by the second one it started to click, so it's not impossible at least. (Speaking of which I'm pretty sure I've had the third volume sitting in my backlog somewhere, so I should probably get to that some time...)

Edit: Also, I don't want to buy it, but... why does Comixology seem to have a Spider-verse sale right now where things are full price? Some sort of weird glitch or something?

Hmm interesting,
Ultimate Thor's hammer
apparently makes it into the new 616 at the end of Thors #4, is that explored in the new Thor book?

Ah That explains what Doom and Strange meant when he said powerful artifacts are slipping through their universe without no one noticing.

Deadly Class #20

This whole arc has been one crazy Battle Royal

but watching the betrayals happen was the worst. Not even friends are safe among friends.


Next week is the end of the arc and let's be honest someone's life.
