For Marvel, honestly, the hottest thing going right now is Secret Invasion. You can't go wrong with that. Also, (red)HULK series thats going on right now will always leave you at the edge of whatever seat your in. Its really good IMHO. Avengers/Invaders has some really good artwork and a great story going on. I really enjoy this.
I don't really follow DC but, I'm attempting to read Final Crisis and im enjoying it. Also the Batman R.I.P. I have heard is really good. haven't read it but, have heard good things.

Not exactly a "super" hero comic, but the series Y: The Last Man is awesome. I'm currently reading it.
Have you read The Killing Joke? or The Long Halloween? Those are two good Batman comics.

Before you read any Marvel stuff I suggest if you haven't to take a good read at Civil War. So you can fully understand where and how and more importantly why the Marvel U is in the state of meltdown. If you can read Road To Civil War so you can know some back story before the actual war starts. McNiven (The Artist of Civil War) does an amazing job with the detail and the images. Really nails it out of the park so to speak with the visuals.
I think you would also enjoy the House Of M trade paperback. I think you would really dig the story. It also plants the seeds for whats going on as well.
If your into gritty realism and looking for something Non-superhero like, definetly check out the 100 Bullets series.

This is getting pretty ridiculous. First off, Y, is the worst thing to hit comics since Robin. So, so stupid. Second, we get it. Watchmen was great. It came out 20 years ago, get over it. Third, Batman is not the only superhero with great writing. Forget all the movies, and hype, and just find something that YOU would like to read. Something that YOU would enjoy, not everyone else. Research them. Don't just start collecting somrthing because it's suddenly getting popular again. Rant over.

And I'm just saying, open your eyes. There are more than five comics there. People have forgotten the entire point of comic books. It's not to collect something everyone else loves, it's to collect something you enjoy. |

Im just trying to find out what is going on in the comic book world right now because I have not bought one in like 2-4 years. I was just looking to see whats a big comic book thats going on right now because I had no idea. Anyways so earlier I went to my local comic book store and made my descions. I bought Venom dark Origin #1, Secret Invasion #1,2,3 and 4. |
