Please, please tell me you aren't reading Omega Men. Because if you're not, that can be fixed, but if you are...
Days of Future Present is great, but it gets pretty confusing

I haven't read today's yet, but it's the same artist as the last volume right?
yup same brilliant creative team as last time
Karnak's biggest problem is just how fucking strong a statement Moon Knight #1 was. It's never gonna be that again, and it's not trying to be.
It's pretty fucking good comics, still. It uses what it has for great effect.

Strange Tales has finished up in the reading order, and what a crazy way to end Nick Fury's story with the Yellow Claw.
It was all a chess game against Dr. Doom?!

I'm trying to get people over the Steam thread to drop cash on dat comic bundle.
Let's see if I can sell them on Sunstone.
Now THAT'S a good book, IIRC it was Rucka's first time writing Wondy for DC and he wrote her fantastically
Also I need to get Kirby's OMAC already =_=

also features Batman who Wondy manages to take on and put him in his place.
Funnily enough I wonder if Rucka doesn't like Batman a lot, I mean he WOULD write him well but it seems he takes what chance he gets just to belittle Bats, prob. due to his popularity

I'm starting to wonder how late the actual pages for DKIII were. So far every single variant has no trace of the actual contents, just tributes to DKR. They've promoted this book for like months and only just released (uncolored!!!) pages like a week ago.
Someone call Kotaku.
I'll get on it. Thanks, brother.
Didn't know, but I'm okay with it.

grayson and gotham academy are great too. though the latter is probably a bit too 'young adult' for some.
i haven't read justice league yet, might collect the trades if they're good.

Well that was certainly fast. Weren't you contemplating picking it up just last night? Looking forward to your write-up.

This week's Tavern Brawl is fantastic. Finally, a good use for lots of TGT cards. Had three dailies mounted up, had them done in 25 minutes.

Heh, I read quickly. Gonna require a second go-through to pick out examples before the write up
If I wanted to jump back in to DC (have been mostly Marvel and Image since getting back into comics, - outside the N52 Animal Man), are there any essential books I should read? I have no allegiance to any one character - hell, I would prefer teams or second tier heroes, the books tend to be more interesting

oh, so she did pop up on Diamond's list for next week, huh?
Man, I already spent $175 this week on DC statues. More incoming, I guess. and my Black Canary bishoujo should be shipping from Japan next week.
I think I need to sell off a bunch of my animu figures at this point. I have too many!

Demon Knights! A fun series (with a team of second tier heroes).
Other than that, these are all great and you can start at #1.
Batman & Robin
Wonder Woman
Gotham Academy

That was one of the better books from the N52 relaunch. Of course, like everything good at DC, it got canceled.
I wouldn't say the same books as most but ill try.
Batman
Batman and Robin
Harley Quinn
Starfire
Batwoman (start with Rucka's Elegy pre new 52)
Grayson
Gotham Academy
Wonder Woman (Azz and Chiang)
Catwoman (start with trade vol 6 by Valentine, ignore the rest pre vol 6)
Batgirl (start with simones new 52 run or just try the much lighter recent reboot that has a vol 1)
Secret Six
Martian Manhunter
Omega Men
thats a pretty nice list
Pick up this book: Black Canary and Zatanna: Bloodspell by Dini and Quinones. Its a great graphic novel.

I've had enough of that in my life, thanks. I don't think

Oh god
Ill do anything. I don't care that she doesn't look like her. She can act and do dramatic moments well.
In a world where people are throwing around suggestions like Ronda Rousey I wouldn't be opposed to this at all. Emily Blunt for life though.
I'll be surprised if Captain Marvel is even out before 2025 .

List!
BLACK MAGICK #1
CHEW #51
MANIFEST DESTINY #5
MANIFEST DESTINY #18
Anything would be better than that little troll Rousey. I'll even take Betty White if she is still alive by then.

Statue is stunning. Best Bombshell easily.
Actually not much has happened since you-know-what. The issues gave some interesting insight into various characters though. As much as I expected the comic to fall apart, it's really grown on me since then. They've done a great job at making the characters more likeable and/or relatable.

Rucka loves Batman. There are things he doesn't necessarily care for about Batman comics and would love to see change I think, but Rucka definitely loves Batman. Comics Alliance's Chris Sims did an amazing three-part interview a while back with Greg, where they talk about his experiences writing Batman comics from No Man's Land all the way through to Gotham Central and beyond, and he shares his insights into Batman.

I loved the book. Though I don't see it as
Rucka belittling Batman. It felt in character for Batman to find the best and smartest solution without having to fight his friend.

Yeah, it was a really fun read. I'll probably buy the trade.
Tizoc

Yeah but
Bats was still a jerk throughout
Will read these tomorrow at work thanks mate.
Actually I think I misworded or used the wrong term when describing how Rucka wrote Bats so I apologize for that.
I also keep forgetting he wrote No man's land.

Hmm... essential, huh?
Most of the top stuff already got named, honestly. Messi's list is damn solid. Are you only looking for recent stuff or would older titles work too? No DC reading is complete without Gotham Central, for instance.
Bought a couple of clearance graphic novels at BAM. Don't know how good they are. Ultimate Avengers volume one hardcover, which was $6.97, and The Hypernaturals volume one trade from BOOM Studios written by Dan Abnett, which was $4.97. I bought that based off the writer, and the art looked good, and it just looked kind of interesting.

It had good art, at least the stuff by Rocafort, but it was bland otherwise. Dropped it quickly. Wouldn't recommend it.

I read the Hypernaturals a couple of years ago, I think I got it on sale. It is basically an updated version of Abnett's Legion of Super Heroes with some other junk tacked on. There is even a robot guy with a level 12 intelligence just like Brainiac 5. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
