I'm the crazy bastard that will buy every rebirth to give them a try. I'll weed out from there.

New Avengers #3 - We got space cthullu, POD freaking out, Bobby doing his best super villain impression by having a giant space ship inside a mountain (and getting called on that by Songbird which was funny) Hulkling is some sort of kree-skrull savior king, Sandoval goes full world of warcraft with these kree-skrull knights... yeah I love this book so much.

Actually, Green Lanterns Rebirth is this Wednesday. I was looking at #1.
No interest, but just in case someone is looking. Three DC comics next week is already three more than I've been buying, so I'll keep it at that. Double shipping will add up.

I really like the direction the Avenger books have been taking lately.
ANAD:
Uncanny:
And based on what I've read about the happenings in New Avengers I may give it another chance.
I'll probably give Green Arrow Rebirth a try just to see what they are doing with the character, but I'm not sure about the others.
That's how DC plans on tricking people into buying the book.
ANAD:
New member and their finally going on a big mission
New members that are going cause some interesting dynamics for the group

Like graphic novels, or prose novels? If the latter, you should read the Stormlight Archive books from Brandon Sanderson. The first two are out now and they're my favorite books ever. If graphic novels, I don't know.

Green Arrow was my first DC love. That's the book I'm most excited about.

Image has a new book that's two issues in called The Black Road. I like it so far.
Yeah, looking for graphic novels/comics.
There's lots of great fantasy novels out there but I'm far too lazy to read them but I can't think of many fantasy comics.
Looks interesting, thanks.

Giant-Size X-Men #3
So, at some point Marvel did a series of books where authors and artists did one-off stories involving Claremont's OG team. I picked up this one as this story in particular was written by Joss Whedon and drawn by Neal Adams while looking through X-Men back issues at my LCS. It was a cool little story about team-bonding. Wolverine is a dick, however, by both orchestrating rhe "exercise" in which the team (minus Cyclops and Banshee) duke it out. Wolverine then says he thinks that Thunderbird will outlive everyone based on how hard he hits.
Also there's three Silver-Age stories involving the O5 crossing-over with the Avengers, FF, and Spider-Man. These were reprints of the originals. I only read the first, as I had forgotten how exhausting it can be read all that dialogue. Stan Lee...You fuck...Still enjoyable, and a worthy purchase, even if it was random.

Fables is pretty solid. You wouldn't know it at the start, since it begins as a sort of fairy-tale mystery book, but it very quickly gets into a war book. Not super dark, but dark enough. I've only read the first nine volumes, though. Don't know how to goes beyond that. That's about the closest I've read to what you're asking for.

I thought it was ok but I stopped picking it up after three or four issues myself. Art was great and I liked the roster. Just didn't like it enough to continue buying it monthly, same with ANAD Avengers.Im the only fan of New Avengers around here arent I?

According to Tim's Sources(tm) Green Lanterns is actually pretty good.

Sure. I mean, I don't hype the book with every issue I get. I don't say only positive things about that book. I haven't been one of the biggest shills for the book since it dropped.
No. I suppose you are the only fan of that book.
to be fair, Rhak praises books we praise 6 months later.

Sometimes writers just don't gel with a set of characters. Remender's DC stuff was pretty mediocre.

Today I learned that the power team of Bendis and Maleev had a Spider-Woman book. I suppose. I'll read pretty much anything those two are on. Jess seems cool, anyways.

Oh wait, I know what happened. Johns felt bad for him being such a terrible writer that Johns wrote the issue and let Humphries name appear on the cover too. I assume Johns has seen Our Love is Real. Who would ever hire the guy that wrote that?

I've enjoyed Humphries on Weirdworld. SW: Planet Hulk was pretty good too.
Avengers A.I. was also fun.

Such a great page.
That whole arc made me a Thor fan.
I read Lady Thor first and absolutely fell in love with the comic, had the get the original run after that.
It's great so far.
Aye.
From what I was told, it was surprisingly good and has some decent humor.

I really loved that series a lot, it's probably right after Essex County as my favorite Lemire book. I love the juxtaposition of how bleak and fucked up the story is with Lemire's art, I know a lot of people hate his style but I think it works really well here.
If this is your first exposure to Lemire, go back and check out the Complete Essex County and the Underwater Welder as well.

I'm with you on this one.
It was too...I dunno.
Basically, they had to have someone job to that new dude to make him look formidable and to build the mindshare around him, but it's one of those things where had Kirkman wanted to kill him, the shocker that issue would have been his death, not getting stabbed.

With tv winding down and the longer weekend I finally got back to my starman re read. I had stopped midway through the run (the 40s). And it's kind of funny the first arc I pick up with is A starman/Shazam crossover where Bulletman is accused of being a secret nazi spy in WW2 all this time! Interesting timing after recent comic book controversies
I'm also reminded how different style of writing Robinson uses in starman than current books but also golden age books. It's almost novel like in its word count but yet doesn't do the "write the words the art has already explained". Man this run holds up so well. All time great

JLA #10-#15 Rock of Ages: Damn, this was amazing. Why hasn't Morrison just written a straight New Gods series!? Good thing I read Kirby's New Gods before I read this otherwise I might have been a bit lost.
. I also hope we get to see a lot more of this Wonderworld stuff, it looked super interesting.
Nitpicks: Wonder Woman dies off screen? We get Apokolips and Darkseid and still no Big Barda and Scott Free?
If you haven't read it yet, I very strongly recommend reading Walter Simonson's Thor run. It is epic in the original sense of the word. Some great writing and brilliant art.
Starts here on Marvel Unlimited.

Ends here

You can also include the Balter The Brave issues (four of them).
http://marvel.com/comics/issue/17847/balder_the_brave_1985_1
They fit into the order here.
Thor 360
Balder 1
Thor 361
Thor 362
Balder 2
Balder 3
Balder 4
And Plastic Man kidnapping the Joker is the greatest thing ever.
And Wonder Woman finally gets her moment. Fight against Darkseid and destroying the Grandmother Box was awesome!

Read Irredeemable vol 1 and 2. This art is struggle. The story has been fine but I cant believe people recommend this so often with this art
Ive also noticed Ribic does the Liefeld thing where he hides feet behind rocks
Look for euro comics to fill your need there. Stuff from Humanoids/Heavy Metal is a good place to look
Got a giggle out of this
Yup Ribic is a beast. Try to find his painted work, Sub Mariner, Silver Surfer, Thor and LokiSuch a great page.
