Sometimes I forget how new you are to comics, lol.
I have read a lot of big DC stuff by now, but for some reason I still haven't read Watchmen and TDKR.
i finally got around to reading ANAD New Avengers #1 on MU. People pay money for these, it's just not right. Squirrel Girl was the best part of course but for a first issue it's already boring and possibly the worst villain last page in recent memory.
Also, there is a Wrestling event sunday and i don't care, probably the least interested i've been in wrestling since starting to watch again one or two years ago.

Read the first book of 100 Bullets. It was good, but...man, Stray Bullets and Brubaker's stuff were so good that other crime comics kind of pale in comparison IMO. I really need to check out Gotham Central
100 Bullets is one of the coolest comics I've read, I flew through all 13 volumes in about half a week or so.
This reminds me, I should read that one volume spin-off.

Are Omnibus worth buying? i started getting in the Marvel U, from the beginning. just realized there are ALOT of marvel Omnibus out there

100 Bullets? It was a good comic, but I think it went on for longer than it should have. They set out from the beginning for 100 issues, and the story just wasn't that interesting at some points.

They're usually good deals if you buy them online. While they can be kind of large and unwieldy, it's pretty great to have a big book containing an entire series.

lol god damn, I'm home for the summer so I decided to try reading comics on my mom's tablet (10-inch) instead of my 7-inch tablet... wow the difference is crazy. I don't think I can ever read comics on that thing ever again.

Okay, done with the first arc of Gotham Central and I'm sold. Glimpses of Batman from the regular person's perspective feels really fresh after BvS and Court of Owls. It really captures that mysterious dark knight aura of the character that you can't really have when he's the protagonist

I haven't really read much of it, but Astro City does this a bit too. There's one issue, "Welcome to Astro City", that's about a family moving to the city and getting caught up with all of the mayhem between the superheroes and villains. It was really well done.

The first arc does a great job of capturing that sense. The level of involvement Batman (and superheroes in general) varies from arc to arc, some having more, some less, but that one strikes what I'd call the median. Even when there's more of him, that sense of... alien-ness around him never goes away. It really sells you on this idea that he's more than a man.

Yup, it's fantastic.

I find that Darkseid War opened my eyes to how good the mainline DCU stuff can be
but rarely is kekekekeke
I love DCU. But I hate floppies. Sometimes you just have to tough it up and get it, though. 80 pages for $2.99? I can't NOT get it.

If you're on MU, Miles first appearance is technically in Ultimate Fallout 4 but it's probably not worth buying. It's just a fight with a C-lister before the face reveal.

Finished Catwoman volume 1 by Brubaker and it's so good. Love the art style throughout and reminds me a lot of the Batman stuff I grew up with like Long Halloween. Of course, it's much better written than that, so it helps a lot! Brubaker writes Selina really well and it's hard not love her and the cast.
Only glanced through a list of the artists on the second volume but I see Cameron Stewart, Pulido, and Guy Davis so I know it's gonna look great. Plus you got Hollingsworth and Loughridge on colors! They are so good for these urban books. I love Hollingsworth's use of muted palettes.

Thanks for the clarification, appreciate it!
It's good but not Nocenti Catwoman good.

But really, is anything that good?

This is the right place to ask!
The book you're probably looking for is The Legend of Wonder Woman by Renae DeLiz, which is pretty much highly recommended by pretty much everyone.
Really great story, good art, digital and each issue is about a buck.

Just finished and moved onto the second volume of Locke & Key.
Haven't felt this enthralled in a comic since Sandman. The way Joe Hill weaves horror, thriller, mystery with a group of innocent kids into some dark shit is amazing.

Actually I'm reading that at the moment. No idea why I didn't think to mention that in my last post. Its pretty good. Its an origin though and I was sorta hoping for something with her already established (or does every comic run start from the beginning again? I don't read enough to know)

Lots of writers like to retell the origin in flashback or put their own spin on it, but generally new runs do not mean hard resets.
Try Wonder Woman 195 by Greg Rucka. If you like it, well good news he wrote the book for three years (his last issue was 226) and it's all great. And if you are still digging it, I have even more good news because Rucka's back on the book in a month or something like that, so you'll have that to look forward to, too.
And yes that whole run is available digitally. You'll find it under Wonder Woman (1987-2006).

I re-read Azzarello's run of Wonder Woman again and still don't like the portrayal of the Amazons (especially their relationship with Diana). I adore the supporting cast though.

Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka is IMO my favorite run ever. The only downside is the end of his run gets pulled into a number of events. But! Rucka is coming back to the character as part of Rebirth which is awesome news.
It's available digitally on comixology

Another run that is older and highly regarded is Perez's run. I own it but haven't read it yet. Though I know some on the board have

Yeah dude, Joe Hill is an amazing writer and he really reminds me of how his dad writes. I think it's cool that King and Hill are doing the same thing. If you like Locke & Key I would honestly check out N0S4A2. Stellar book.

Oh I agree. It's still the definitive run for me. And I don't really mind some of the later crossover tie ins.
I wish Comixology/DC would add Wonder Woman Hiketeia by Greg Rucka and JG Jones.
This is a standalone graphic novel starring Batman and Wonder Woman. It's actually the first main thing Rucka wrote of WW and then he went on to the main WW series. It's really great. Hope a reprint shows up so a CMX arrives.

I was just looking for that too! I can't believe they don't have it
DC what are you doing
booo. nobody wants tokyo ghost

If I remember correctly from the solicits, Hiketeia is included in the first volume of the new Rucka collections that comes out in a month or so. Maybe they'll throw the original up on CMX when that comes out.
Woha, can you check this out? Hunting Hiletwia for years but its so insane expensive

Awesome! Fingers crossed.
