I'm with you. Nothing, ever touches Jim Lee's X-Men run IMO. The art style is the best, the costumes were all the best costumes that each character ever wore (in Wolverine's case, he wore both of the best costumes he ever wore). And of course it spawned the awesome tv series and capcom games. Jim Lee saved the X-Men series. They were a complete mess for a long time until he took over. I will say that Dave Cockrums story's were probably better though. If you've never read the 4 shot Nightcrawler mini-series that he did, you should. It's one of the best things ever (I bought the original issues on ebay a few years ago). Totally agree with the Lee part. Guy breathed new life into the franchise, and I love the costumes - the word iconic doesnt do them justice. Re-watched some of the cartoon recently, makes me feel like a kid again. I wouldn't go as far as saying the series was a mess for a while before he came along though. But the series was definitely not as strong following the events of Inferno (1987?) until he came in more regularly from Uncanny 270, then launched the X-Men series. I could just look at the front covers and not the contents, and still be satisfied by Lee's artwork alone. Dave Cockrum is a great artist no doubt, should get more credit for his work instead of just Byrne. I love me some Nightcrawler - will check that series out then. Byrne is good, but he kind of just continued with Cockrum's art style. Cockrum is probably my second fav artist after Jim Lee. In fact I'm gonna go re-read my copy of Jim Lee's X-Men #1. I've got the special limited edition one with loads of extra art!

Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
I usually do the Amazing Spidey, 300 to 400 is great stuff. I do some of the other issues, though. Gotta get ready for the Sinister Six film.

I read just about any comics I can get my hands on. I could spend an entire day reading comics, and I have done so several times in the past. My favorite stories/arcs are the Marz Green Lantern Kyle Rayner run in the mid-90s, Eddie Brock as Venom, which *technically* began in ASM 298 in 1988, Knightfall/Knightquest, Blackest Night, G1 Transformers, Haunt, and Walking Dead. I'm sure I'm forgetting something because I've read so many comics in my life. I'd rather have a large room full of comics than a new Porsche.

Way too many. It seems like Wednesdays are usually my comic days. I'm reading:
- Batman (my favorite) - Justice League - Walking Dead (another one of my favorites) - Chew - Superior Spiderman (over now) - Amazing Spiderman - Detective Comics - Batman Eternal (I believe it's a short run thing) - Batman 66 (didn't expect to enjoy it so much but it's great) - Uncanny X-Men - All New X-Men - Magneto - Punisher - Cyclops (new series. Only 1 issue so far) - Original Sin (I think this is a short run too) - Avengers World - East of West - Deadpool

I was never able to really get into comics. I have an old Spider Man comic floating around here somewhere and someone got me a fancy copy of the first addition of The Walking Dead number one comic, but I have always been more of a manga fan myself.

And where is Revival on this list?! You read more than I do man, and that's awesome. You get the No-Prize... I have no interest at all in the Eternal or Future's End stories. In my opinion, you're missing out on the second best DC book going, Injustice: Gods Among Us. What Taylor's done on that story is half fan fic jerk-off material, half best Superman story ever... He's like f*cking Piper in '85 in that book man, I luuuuuuuuuv hatin' em! On the Marvel side; Have you always been a fan of the 1610? I read the uh, Cataclysm mini and hated it as much as I thought. I hate the thought of that universe... I mean, The New 52 is the exact same thing, but outside of old stuff, DC left us with nothing so I jumped. That's not to say that USM sucked, but I've never read it. I'm not reading Ms Marvel because it looks stupid. And, since it's a "Super-Minority" hero, there's not going to be any review that says anything negative 'cause of the Jezebel crowd, so it'll be hard to get an honest review on the first arc. I do love Black Widow (Noto's the best in the world...after Opena) and Elektra seems like it's going to be a great book. She-Hulk's never gunna be what Red She-Hulk was. And I'll be starting my first Wolverine solo issues so I can see... well, ya know. I'm done with GOTG as well. And I don't care if the book paid me to read it, RR can suck it. Skottie Young is f*cking terrible. He's a dollar store Sienkiewicz, who has to be blackmailing someone up there in New York to be in the position he's in. I've gotta sticker on my box that says, and I quote "NO STUPID F@#$ING MARVEL BABY COVERS". This your first time reading the Captain Marvel story? TMNT is also something missing from your list. City Fall was my favorite TMNT anything besides "WHOOPS!". Also, you rule man.

I started reading and collecting in the mid 90's and stopped about 5 years ago and just got back into them about a year ago. I'm still catching up on what I missed for a few years. That's why I get so many of the current books. I'll drop a lot once I catch up more. Ms. Marvel is pretty fun and well written. I like it. So far I don't care much for She-Hulk or Elektra. Black Widow has been hit and miss. I have the previous Captain Marvel series but haven't read it yet but have read this one, loved the interaction with GOTG and her cat. I have Cataclysm but haven't read it yet and I'm getting the new Ultimate series but haven't gotten to read them yet either. Batman Eternal has been good. Future's End sucks, so far. I think Marvel is kicking DC butt with the event stories. I'll have to check out Injustice, I can't stand the New 52 Superman and he's always been a favorite of mine.
I try to read 5 books a day so it's taking forever to catch up.
I'd have to say my favorite DC books right now are Batman, Batman Eternal, Aquaman, Green Lantern, GL Corps, New Guardians, Red Lanterns (since Guy was put in there, Justice League and JL Dark.
For Marvel I like Amazing/Superior Spider-Man, I love Superior Foes and All-New X-Men. Everything else is too new to say or I haven't read it yet. I've been spending the last year when not reading newer books just reading the cosmic Marvel stuff starting with Annihilation and just got to Annihilators. I'm going to start in on Infinity next. I still have to read Avengers vs X-Men and even further back, Fear Itself.

It's about time we had a comic book thread. My favorites include: Maus, Sandman, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, The Walking Dead, Locke & Key, and Swamp Thing, among many others. That awkward moment when there is.. I used to read comics a ton, but currently I don't have comic book store near me. The stuff I used to read are Batman (New-52) Deadpool (The latest run) Astonishing X-Men Ultimate Spiderman I do read a lot of Manga though lol.

currently, for DC I read
All of the New 52 Masters of the Universe
For Marvel, I read anything X-Men related
I think my favorite thing right now though is the Masters of the Universe comics. Growing up a huge He-Man fan, it is so cool having comics again of Masters of the Universe.

It was a New 52 launch title, and features Chris Jeric- er, um, Booster Gold leading a team that includes Bats and Guy, among others. Without going into too much detail, the interactions between Booster/Guy, Bat/Guy, and Booster/Bats make it one of my favorite things in all of the New 52's history. Also, if you didn't read Uncanny X-Force you simply must. I know people like to suck on Alan Moore's teet as the greatest writer ever. I know that Miller's Daredevil run was amazing. I know that Grant Morrison's LA run was perfect. What Rick Remender, Jerome Opena, and Dean White did with the Apocalypse storyline is the best story telling of the last decade. Not in just comics, but in all realms of fiction. Opnea does't pencil the entire series, but Dean White colors the whole thing, which gives the art a sense of continuity. I love the whole run, but I can certainly see how some might've not dug the Captain Britain Corps/Otherwold storyline. Seriously man, the Apocalypse story lines and a one shot Magneto story are the best comics you'll ever read.

Then I have JLI, Captain Atom, Forestorm, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, DC Universe Presents, Legion of Super-Heroes, Ravagers, Blue Beetle, Deathstroke, GI Combat, Grifter, Voodoo, Stormwatch and Dial H. I should get through those by the end of the year. Oh, I love All-Star Western. Sad that it's getting cancelled. I think I have those Uncanny X-Force but haven't read them. Looking forward to the story.
