Ive been enjoying Mystery In Space from DC, I love the fact that Starlin brought back The Weird, plus the have sort of reconed/updated Captain Comet

[Captain Rooster]

<p>Damn ... just read about The Boys in Wizard and wanted to pick-up the title. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just picked up Moon Knight with Spidey on the cover. AWFUL. Who is this guy, Bruce Wayne in a white suit?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am still on the fence with New X-Men .. a little too New Mutants for me. &nbsp;</p>

[Deadshot87]

Moon Knight gets that rep from now and then hes kinda different though<br />Not as nearly as refined or trained hes kinda rough around the edges<br />Also alot crazier than Batman since he believes he is the avatar of the God of Vengence<br />Basically rebuilding his life. Hes not as well known but he just seemed to grow on me

[chilibone]

<p>i gotta agree with all of these, especially mouse guard</p><p>the new thunderbolts is written by warren ellis and the first issue looks like it's gonna be really good </p>

[lleeder]

<font size="3">You guys like the new JSA or JLA? I've been reading both and kinda like em. I'm not familiar with alot of the characters but I'm getting into it.</font>

[booster11373]

<p>The JLA series is good but a little slow, must everything written 6 issues for a trade?, sometimes 4 issues is enough to tell a story.</p><p>Ive always liked the JSA but its to early to tell how this series is going, my guess is this series will tie into the climax of 52/one year later</p>

[Deadshot87]

<p>My friends like the JSA series first of the few covers are drawn by Alex Ross<br />Also there is a preview for the apparent return of Earth 2 Superman<br />We also have JLA which is a good series ISsue zero was good it showed each incarnation of the JLA throught the years<br />Liked the part when Batman says how he punched out Guy Guardner</p>

[Shamrock]

<p>New Universal- Marvel ( Warren Ellis)</p><p>Jeremiah Harm -Boom! ( Keith Giffen)</p><p>I heard Planet Hulk is pretty bad ass as well.</p>

[lleeder]

<font size="3">Just read the first two issues of the new X-23 mini series, not really into it</font>

<font size="3">Does anyone read Midnighter? I picked up the first issue and was into it. Should I buy the rest of them?</font>

[Captain Rooster]

The Illuminati is really good, as of #2, with Infiniti Gems baaack. It says &quot;Secret Wars&quot; will follow #2 ... that means Beyonder in my book. Cooool.

I just recently started collecting "for my son", who just turned 1yr old. I figured I grew up with these superheroes and might as well get him started with some good stuff. My wife just finished the Dark Tower book series so I figured I'd try and get her hooked in comics a bit too with the DT comic series. So far neither of us have read them yet. I have gotten and read almost everything Civil War related and I'm really liking it a lot. The coolest thing about my new obsession is that my wife searches for stuff on ebay for me and comic book surprises are often on the table for me when I get home. She got me a bunch of boxes of 20 randoms that have been a lot of fun going through too. In one of them I got The Maxx 1-3. She saw the big grin on my face and The Maxx 1-17 and 1-27 from ebay were in a box on the kitchen table the following week.

It's like I'm a kid again, but this time I'm going through it as a comic book nerd. My wife keeps teasing me that my son is never going to get these until he pries them "from my cold dead hands". She also says it's cute how I tell people that I'm collecting for him.

I posted about this book earlier in the thread. I dig it as well.

[Captain Rooster]

The Mighty Avengers is cool ... not sure if I posted this already. They have Ares: The God of War. Potentially the badass levels of Thor with Wolvie's badass attitude. Also, I am a closet Wonder Man fan.

Also, I am a closet Wonder Man fan.

I never liked Wonder Man. Perhaps it was his lame 70's red leisure suit-type outfit.

[ToLEEdo]

Ick...I hate the Mighty Avengers, the teams dynamics just don't work for me. I've always hated Wonderman, and the range of characters don't seem to be that great. Having ultra-cocky Iron Man there is bad too. It seems like a team of tool's to me.

[EliSnow]

Dark Tower #3 and Buffy #2 come out today. Looking forward to both.
