Just discovered the random stuff threads
DCBatman and Robin Eternal - Incredibly average at best like all of Tynion's stuff, and has way too much of his pet Mary Sue Harper Row, but I'm supporting is for cassandra Cain.
Grayson - Best DC ongoing, one of the best Dick Grayson runs. Awesome. Also, Mikel Janin should draw all bat books. Love this so much, even though King and Seeley are leaving so randoms can finish it before Nightwing happens.
ImageBlack Magick - Slowly building up and its artwork is not everyone's cup of tea, but I like Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott.
Descender - Literally read the first issue yesterday at like 5am, and I loved it. I was looking for an indie sci-fi comic, and it delivered. Picking up back issues this Thursday.
Outcast - REALLY decompressed and slow, tot he point that BENDIS might be impressed, but it's interesting and has great art.
MarvelAll-New All-Different Avengers (on probation) - Was hyped for it because I love Waid, but it's incredibly mediocre.
All-New Inhumans - Solidly average. Asmus uses way too much ellipses and dashes, as if he were writing as essay, but interesting concept and stories. HAD good art initially, but is now ugly af.
Daredevil - Soule's run started off slow, but issue 4 really paid everything off. I thought Waid's run overstayed its welcome, and I'm glad Matt's life is abck to being crap. He's the ONE character who is just plain more interesting that way.
International Iron Man (on probation) - First issue was solidly average.
Invincible Iron Man - My stupid fun book, at least before Deodato came and Marquez started Civil War II. The dialogue is incredibly off, so Bendis can write everyone like a teenager (he's up'd it to really early twenty somethings), but it's fun.
Karnak - Interesting, nice art sometimes.
The Mighty Thor - Art is gorgeous, and Thor finally became more than a plot twist. She was interesting before the reveal about her identity, but once Jason Aaron delved into that, she got interesting again. The actual stories... yeah, ALL the men come off as OOC af, adn the feminist messages are as subtle as a Mjonlnir to the face. Waiting for Aaron to take the 'out' he wrote himself and bring Odinson (original Thor) back.
Old Man Logan - Probs the only reason Lemire writes the X-Men. It's really interesting, has intriguing stuff and a really, really engaging character who Lemire isn't afraid to portray as a monster. And Sorrentino is as awesome as ever. Love this.
Silver Surfer - Silver Age fun with Modern Age experimental art a lot fot he time. Fun but still dramatic. Endearing. Got je into Surfer. Love this.
Uncanny Inhumans - Love this series. Soule gets the appeal of the Inhumans, with grand drama and weird pseudo magic and sci-fi witht eh royal family. Black Bolt is still the most interesting and engaging Inhuman character, and Soule knows it, as he ditched a lot of the NuHumans.
Star Wars:Star Wars - Solid adventure stuff, great art usually.
Darth Vader - Really engaging plots, even if it got confusing for a while, and it's just fun backstabbery and drama. Gillen is very hit-or-miss with me, but this is definitely a hit. Also, Doctor Aphra is awesome and should never be killed (but will be, everyone knows it).
Kanan - Solidly mediocre pastg the first arc, but it's wrapping up, so might as well finish it.
Obi-Wan & Anakin - Nice art, boring story. I just don't care about Anakin and Obi-Wan anymore.
Poe Dameron - I know, not out yet, but I loved Poe in The Force Awakens. Dat charisma yo.
Series I'm reading regularly but aren't on my standing order:Aquaman - Picked it back up after Bunn's trash run. Gonna pick up Abnett's first issue on Thursday. Not a fan of Mera calling herself Aquawoman and wearing a version of Arthur's suit, but it's obvs temporary based on Rebiurth's covers.
Astonishing Ant-Man - Recently dropped it from my standing order, but it's really good. I just have to bring myself to read it sometimes. Engaging main character, but Cassie feels OOC half the time. Still, it's fun and funny and sweet.
Black Widow - Eeehhh... first issue was ALL ACTION. There was so much hype for this and it was just okay beyond the art. But Bucky might appear! My OTP!!
Illuminati - Getting cancelled, but I loved it. Engaging, sympathetic characters, and a good plot. Sad to see it go... but the art really didn't suit he series.
Ms. Marvel - Really, really good. A teen-superhero book with something to say, and a unique spin on things and visual style.
Power Man and Iron Fist - Ugh. Plot's okay, but Iron Fist is INCREDIBLY OOC, and as a big fan of Immortal Iron Fist, I HATE his portrayal here. Oh, and the art is REALLY hit-or-miss, and I really need to be in the mood for it. Just... I dunno. Would prefer Iron Fist got his own ongoing again, but that won't happen til next year, so I guess it's okay for him to piggy back off Luke.
Wow, I didn't think I read that much, especially compared to some others I know, but I guess I do xD
