Here's a link to a thread when Secret Wars was still ongoing and the new properties hadn't yet started. It starts as titles we're interested in, but Freaux and I kind of get off on a tangent on what we're looking for more globally.

I collect by trades, so I have the luxury of knowing if a book is considered any good before I pick it up. I'm about a year behind, but I list about 15 titles I'm interested in and by the time it comes to trades, I'll probably only buy 5 or 6. I can sit back and watch things shake out.

As I get closer, I'm more and more excited for Warren Ellis on Karnak and the prospect of the beautiful disaster that will be the New Avengers. Oh, and Howard the Duck just on general principle and then Ta'Nehisi Coates writing Black Panther. I'd love for him to win the Pulitzer and then have his next project be a comic book (he's a finalist for the Pulitzer right now).


ETA: Let me second the love for Image. There's about 10 titles I'm reading from them, and if you're not reading East of West, you're missing out on the single greatest comic series ever written. Sorry, Saga (which is also awesome and put out by Image).

This. But I hate waiting for trades

I haven't decided if I'm getting the Secret Wars trades or not. They look fun for sure.

Agreed. I think BP can take off from here and get out of B character territory.

I've been curious to read this. I will seek it out for certain now.


Kirkman's "Outcast" started off very good, but I haven't read up past the first few issues yet. I also like Wytches a lot.
