Any Walking Dead fans on here? <p>Definitely in my top 3 since it started.&nbsp; This series has unlimited potential because it doesn't do what you want...by focusing on the people just living instead of making them have a goal or &quot;save the day&quot; plan or just slaughtering everything that moves nonstop, we can have an ongoing and engaging series about what it would be like to live in a world full of the undead.&nbsp; Kirkman has stated several times we'll probably never find out why the zombies showed up, and that the characters we're following now will be around by the time he ends it.&nbsp; He's got a whole world he can play with, and it's pretty fuckin' cool...if only it came out in a more timely fashion.</p>

Anyone check out Brian K. Vaughn's new Escapist series, pretty awsome.

[JustJon]

<p>Damn, how drunk was I in Sheepy's picture?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yesterday's&nbsp; pickup was the third Busiek/Perez Avengers Assemble hardcover (such good shit) and the latest X-Men trade with the return of Apocalypse.&nbsp; Would have picked up X-Men: Deadly Genesis if they didn't short ship it.<br /></p>

[DirtyJersey]

Anybody check out the latest Uncanny X-Men written by Ed Brubaker? In the future I think I'm gonna pick up whatever this guy writes. I loved the issues of Cap he did and this new X-Men story with Warpath&nbsp;looks promising.

Anyone else tried reading, Star Wars Legacy from Darkhorse? My shop gave me the first issue for free, It was all right I liked it enough to pick up the second issue.

I totally agree about the Star Wars comics, Most are crap, The best in my opinion are the comic adaptions of the Timothy Zahn novels, The Tag and Bink stuff is sort of geeky fun and a few or the Star Wars Tales single stories have been quite good but not good enough to buy it every time.

Supergirl was good.&nbsp; Entertaining read, but Jeph Loeb's writing never really sits right with me.&nbsp; I think he really sets up stories well, but they always seem to fall flat by the end.<br />

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I think that Civil War is a lot better series right now than Infinite Crisis was.&nbsp; It just seems that the effects of what is going on here are going to be a hell of a lot bigger than whatever IC was attempting to do to the DC universe.&nbsp; I mean, how much bigger can you get that Spider-Man, a classic Marvel Icon, revealing his identity in a press conference to the entire world?&nbsp; That's pretty ground breaking.<br />

[Sheeplovr]

[JustJon]

How can you say House of M had no repurcussions, unless you don't read any X-books?&nbsp; As for IC, we haven't seen too many repurcussions, but I think it'll come up now and again, for instance, Batman is supposed to be lightened now, Superman was a Superboy, etc.&nbsp; (Although, that last one is undoubtedly changed to some degree with the recent lawsuit, which also affected the upcoming Legion cartoon)<br />

I just picked Up Jeremiah Harm issue 1 and 2.&nbsp; This book is done buy Boom studios and is written by Keith Giffen and Alan Grant whom happen to be responacable for 52 and Marvels Annihilation, they also worked on Lobo.&nbsp; Any6way this book is bad ass!&nbsp; I love it, if your into Sci-fi this book is great.&nbsp; The main Character is a cross between Lobo and Marv from Sin city.&nbsp; Has anyone else picked this one up?

<p>I read the first Ex Machina trade, and I liked it.&nbsp; I had a unique perspective, but I didn't finish it dying to see what happens next.&nbsp; Alternatively, I picked up the first Runaways digest and was instantly hungry for more.&nbsp; Runaways is one of the few books I'd pick up the digests and then the oversized hardcover when it comes out months later.</p><p>Y: The Last Man was introduced to me when it first started.&nbsp; Loved it too and read it month to month.&nbsp; I gave up reading floppies a couple years ago (my last ish was 25) and decided to go trades only.&nbsp; I'm waiting till Y is almost done (it's in its last year) to just rail thru all the trades one after the other and read the whole story.<br /></p>

[JustJon]

I picked up the hardcover with Nyx and X-23 and thought X-23 was enjoyable.&nbsp; I thought they gave her a solid story and good personality.&nbsp; And I think she's being dealt with well in the main books.<br />

Planet Hulk ... any thoughts? I think WWIII has a lot of potential. But after Civil War, Marvel has shown one way to screw-up a free lunch. I mean, c'mon ... it's getting pretty bad.

[Captain Rooster]

<p>Just read Hulk 100 ... the bonus piece with the brilliant kid basically saying to Reed Richards, Heeeeeeeeeee's cooooming!&quot; is very cool. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hulk's coming back and he's gonna be pissed.

I'm behind a few years. I just read Quiver and Sounds of Violence great stuff. First Green Arrow I ever read and I loved it. I also got Winter Soldier really good stuff as well. Never read a Captain America book before. Now I'm starting New Avengers I picked up the trades 1-4 can't wait to get it started.

I picked up the Moon Knight trade last week, it wasn't bad, but you really have to know who the characters are to get up to speed.&nbsp; I read Essential Moon Knight last summer, so I wanted to see where Marvel's answer to Batman was going.

<p>I might say it alot but 52 is the best comic book series right now<br />We have at least three stories at once and the only one i really dont think is that great is the Space one with Adam Strange, Lobo The main man, Starfire and Animal Man.&nbsp; Its great to see the question again and you see more of black adam and his own black marvel family</p>

[lleeder]

<font size="3">I hate Civil War. I just read 6 and it is garbage. Read The Boys, as over the top as they make the heros is exactly how the characters in Civil War come off. I can't believe how little I care when something happens in this book. Its not even a long read. One or two things happen with little story suporting it. Just plain awful.</font>

[Deadshot87]

Civil War probably not the best series we all just seem to hate iron man<br />Spiderman goes from one side to the other<br />We get the PUnisher back in the mainstream<br />New Thunderbolts basically are like the suicide squad<br />Two Avengers team <br />return of Captain Marvel<br />End of the Illumanti after the Hulk goes into space<br />Death of Black Goliath and a crazy cloned thor<br />We have alot of good things and bad with the war in general<br />maybe the good seems to out way the bad maybe not<br />What are you going to do <br />Marvel will always go for the big event that is controversial <br />Its allright not really the biggest of deals
