Comic Nerd Thread: What are you reading right now/ suggestions?

Deadpool: The Good The Bad & The Ugly- Someone is stealing Wade's organs, it's pissing him off. Goes to Wolverine and Cap for help. One of the best books for non-fanboys to jump into.




Also Sidekick by J. Michael Straczynski..This is an Image Comics book, so naturally a little darker and for the non initated has nothing to do with Marvel or DC universes. Basically, a once up and coming sidekick by the name of FlyBoy's life has been in shambles ever since the death of his mentor(great death scene btw) a few years ago. He's a drunk, thought of as a joke, sucidial, etc. Flashbacks of the good times are woven into the story as he tries to get his life back on track..


Powers:Bureau


one of my favorite series of all time.Anyone who is lucky enough to find the original run in TPB form at the local library, do yourself a favor and check them out. Anyway, Powers has always been inspired by M/TV board's favorite David Simon's(The Wire) book, Homicide:A Year on the Killing Streets. A city where Heroes and Villains are fricked up, and are usually murdered. Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim,once cops, now FBI agents investigate the kind of fricked up shite one would see as "normals" in this world. Pretty graphic in nature. This remains one of the most promising books to be adapted for film or TV... Bureau is a nice starting point for non-readers, since in a way a whole new chapter is being told. Written by the great Bendis.


Also reading Battle of the Atom- hoping for more proof that Cyclops is(and was always) right.



Mighty Avengers-proof that black superheroes can carry their own title(and evidence that black actors have plenty of options playing great characters). Luke Cage's is feeling pretty empty about heroics since he left the Avengers and returned to his security/ Heroes for Hire business. Monica Rambeau is looking for an image change, the new Power-Man is in his youthful "everything has a meaning phase" and Doc Ock/Spider-Man is protecting the city. Series jumps off as Thanos plans an attack on NYC, while the Avengers left Earth to fight another battle.
Having Spider-man obviously boosts sales, but dynamic wise it's great to see Octo-Spidey interact with heroes of noble intention. Cage's history with Spider-Man and his career crisis is enough to carry the first story arc.





Looking for more indie comics suggestions as well as something from DC..who pissed me off with the beginning of Forever Evil.
