Its the only comic ourchair leaves his bamboo hut

Excuse me, I am one of the privileged elite and not one of those lower-class breed of mongrel Philippinoes

I live in a tree house.

You know, like the Wookiees of Kashyyyk.

Then why are you always on Endor? That. Does. Not. Make. Sense.

I picked the Umbrella Academy trade.

It is awesome.

Old List
10. Astonishing X-Men - Dropped a spot. Mostly because only 1 ******* issue has come out since the last time I did this list. Can't wait for this to end.

9. Avengers: The Initiative - I believe it was djf who recommended me this book, but it was only when the Irredeemable Ant-man made his way over that I started reading. The scene between him and Taskmaster clinches this spot.

8. DMZ - Y has ended. :cry: But I found a new Vertigo book. Not quite as good as Y, but what is?

7. Invincible - All caught up with the trades. Love it.

6. Scalped - Curse you, Doom! It's good!!!

5. Blue Beetle - I've bought the first two trades. This is very good once you get past all the One Year Later crap they had to deal with.

4. Ex Machina - Still very good.

3. Immortal Iron Fist - The Mortal Kombat arc has been better than I ever could have hoped.

2. Incredible Hercules - Like I said to TOG. This book is awesome. The characterization is spot on, the plotting is great, Ares makes a much better antagonist than he does a protagonist, and it's just a really fun read. If you aren't picking this up, do so. Now.

1. Fables - Still great.

New List
10. The Umbrella Academy - I'm tradewaiting Dallas, but The Apocalypse Suite was good enough to earn this spot by itself.

9. Thunderbolts - I criticized this book when it first launched and dropped it before Ellis got to the good stuff. My mistake. Looking forward to Diggle's new team. Ant-man FTW!

8. Madame Xanadu - Yeah, it's pretty frickin' good. The story is interesting and the art by relative newcomer Amy Reeder Hadley is absolutely gorgeous.

7. The Walking Dead - Kirkman finished the prison section of the story in the bloodiest fashion imaginable and I wondered where the hell they could possibly go from there. The release of the latest trade has assured me that he still knows how to tell a great zombie story.

6. Immortal Iron Fist - Still ****ing great. I don't miss Fraction and Bru AT ALL. In fact, the one shot with the Iron Fist from the future was the single best issue of the series so far. Go Swierczynski.

5. Secret Six - This is Gail Simone at her best. Every character has a wonderful, interesting, and distinct voice. The action is great, the plotting is great, and the Get Out of Hell Free Card is the best idea in the history of ever.

4. Invincible - This is just a really fun superhero story. This is the kind of book that makes Kirkman's grand plan for getting A list talent to do more creator owned series so enticing. And fudge all y'all who complain about Kirkman's writing.

3. Scalped - Dead Mothers was awesome. This series continues to suck me in. My only problem is waiting for the trades to come out. April is too far away!

2. Incredible Hercules - Never disappoints. The Lion of Olympus has the best ongoing superhero comic currently running. Period. End of sentence.

1. Fables - Still great. Still the greatest.

I picked the Umbrella Academy trade.

It is awesome.

Indeed.

10 - Captain America
This book is constantly good, but it does have ups and downs. I really like the new Cap and I really like that Brubaker is trying to establish a rogue gallery. I also love the inclusion of the Black Widow in the cast.

9 - Scapled
Who knew a book about an Indian reservation could be so good. Told in a style similar to 100 Bullets with flashbacks and random one-shots.

8 - Northlanders
The current arc is already 100x better than the rest of the series. The Irishman reminds me of Frank Castle, but more insane.

7 - Hellboy / BPRD
These are two book but they are both just awesome. It took me a minute to get used to the style of the book, but now I love it. They both seem to be tieing all sorts of plot points into something huge.

6 - Fables
Fables will always be on this list. It's ranking depends on how much I am enjoying it compared to other titles at the moment. It has staying power.

5 - Final Crisis & Final Crisis - Revelations
They both deal with similar issues. Final Crisis is scary and very fun, I really like Revelations. Now that really feels like end of the world stuff.

4 - Thor
I used to hate Thor, but I can't wait to see what happens next. It just shows that my theory about that there are no bad characters, but bad writing.

3 - Daredevil
I chuckled at the thought of a Lady Bullseye. I already almost like her more then the original.

2 - Batman/Detective Comics
RIP, Last Rites, Hush. These comics have been just further establishing why Batman is the coolest character ever and why his villains are the best around.

1 - Green Lantern
It dragged a bit with the Secret Origin story, but now we got Red Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, and all sorts of Lanterns everywhere. The power levels of the Blue Lanterns are scary.

8 - Northlanders

That's good news. I loved Sven the Returned and if The Cross + The Hammer is as good as you say Northlanders will definitely work it's way into my top ten the next time I do this list.

1. Captain America
2. Daredevil
3. Thor
4. Batman
5. New Avengers
6. Fantastic Four
7. Invincible Iron Man

I knew. Ourchair knew. And so did Jason Aaron knew when he came up with it.

Gotta disagree.

The new arc is more hardcore than the 2 previous stories, but the Sven arc was way more intriguing. I knew it couldn't continue forever, but I hoped they would at least follow Sven some more. I had some personal ideas of how...but its moot now.

My comments above. But its still really good.

1. Captain America
2. Daredevil
3. Thor
4. Batman
5. New Avengers

You know it can always go back to Sven sometime.

I like the new character more than Sven. I didn't find him that interesting.

A long time ago, I saw a cover for Powers that took out the most obnoxious blurb from Entertainment Weekly that said, "If you're not reading Powers, then there is something seriousl wrong with you."

I thought, "For Christ's sake, that's a bit pompous don't you think?"

Now I say, "If you can't get into Scalped, then there is something seriously wrong with you."

 

[fenway]

Immortal Iron Fist
BPRD
Hellboy
Captain America
Walking Dead (by trades)


These are my only current 'must reads' (and Tiny Titans, which I 'must read' to my girls )

Mark Millar returning to the Ultimate U will be a 'must check' for me, but that Hulk Annual (a character Millar made so effective) pretty much ensures I'm 'out' of the Ultimate U until then.

Oh - Though I bought it for my girls, the first Wizard of Oz book by Marvel was pretty good.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

I couldn't get into Scalped, at all. And I read the first 12 issues.

Powers sucks.

I bought the first two volumes and I could not have been less interested in the big angry dude and his annoying blond sidekick. For years when I complained about BMB's writing people said, "You should check out Powers. It's so good."

No. It's not.

Now I say, "If you can't get into Scalped, then there is something seriously wrong with you."

Now that I can agree with.

Monster.

Racist.

Monster racist.

(i.e. 'one who dislike monsters based solely on their pelt')

I got the first 6 issues from E off ebay for 5 dollars.

I want my 5 dollars back.

Neener neener!

I didn't care for Powers at all. The art was OK but seemed completely inappropriate for the type of story Bendis was telling. Which is to say, a crappy one.
