I usually stick to super hero books but I just picked up Brubaker's Criminal Vol 1: Coward at my local shop this week and it was very, very good. Not surprising considering the author but I enjoyed the story very much.


I also picked up the first two hardcover volumes of the Mice Templar after following Oeming on twitter forever and finally giving it a shot. His art is always awesome so it makes the story much more interesting in my mind.
 
The New Uncanny Avengers. Not really that impressed but it's only issue one. Marvel changed the back story of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. so that Magneto may not be their father. Also I'm PO'd that they change the Scarlet Witch's costume, again! I really liked her updated look. Both classy and sexy.

She now looks similar to her Ultimate's outfit. So she looks more like the Scarlet ****! My poor Wanda!

Haven't been to my LCS in 2 months so I have over 30 comics to read so much to catch up on I think Fables, Saga, Outcast, and Batman are my favorites though.
 
Anyone have any recommendation's for a good new Fantastic Four comic or graphic novel to start with. I've read some Kirby era stuff but that was really long ago. Looking for somewhere new to start.
 
Just finished reading book 1 of Preacher & I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Now that might sound like a totally daft statement but I just don't know, I enjoyed it but it didn't exactly leave me wanting more.
I might get the other volumes if I find them really cheap but at the moment what I read was enough.

Now has anyone read any of DC's He-Man run?
I picked up the first 2 issues of Eternity War recently & started on them but quickly found out I have no idea what's happened so will be going back to get the TPB's but just wanted people's opinions first

Preacher is one of my favorite series, but it's not for everyone. Some of the storylines later get a little crazy and the main story gets diverted a bit but it all comes together in the end.
 
Just picked up and read Mark Millar's Starlight yesterday. Interesting concept and it's only a six issue tpb so it was a fun, quick read.

Just finished Superman Unchained and actually really, really enjoyed it. It was the first New 52 Superman story I really liked.
 
Is that a seperate story? I am not really interested in picking up the entire main line, with the crossover madness these days I would then have to delve into Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Justice League (and by extension Aquaman and whatnot). But one or two books could be nice.
 
Superman Unchained was a great story. I've been liking Superman Wonder Woman as well. I'd like to say I've been enjoying the regular Superman book but I can't stand Romita Jr's art so it ruins it for me.

Crossoveritis is **** indeed.

But no, Unchained is canon with everything else, I believe there's a few crossover issues but don't quote me on that, I haven't got there yet.
 
Nope, Unchained was a stand alone story. It's set within the New 52 continuity, but the title itself was the "event," if you will. DC decided that a great way to celebrate Superman's 75th was by pairing their biggest writer of the moment with their biggest artist, and letting them tell the story they wanted to tell. What you get is 9 issues of uninterrupted, tie-in free goodness.

Excellent!

I agree about JRJ's work. I don't get it. I know a lot of people love it but I can't stand it. There are a few issues that I like the story enough to tolerate and even like a few panels but overall I don't really understand the fandom behind him.
