Comic Books and Regular Books

[Angel]

So I'm a little curious what everyone is reading these days.

Currently for monthly comic books I'm reading:

Batman
Green Lantern
Swamp Thing
All New X-Men
Uncanny X-Men

I also just finished reading Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing and picked up Batman: Earth One which I am looking forward to reading.

As a quick personal review of those books:

Batman:
I love this book. I was a little late to the party, jumped in around issue 10, but every issue I've read has been amazing. Writer Scott Snyder really knows how to write a Batman anyone can enjoy and his Joker arch was just sick and spot on.

Green Lantern:
I've been reading Green Lantern since Geoff Johns brought Hal Jordan back from the dead however many years ago that was and I have yet to be disappointed by a single issue. Johns has written some great space operas with Hal and I'm sad that he will be wrapping up his time with the character in the near future.

Swamp Thing:
I've been a fan of Swamp Thing since I was a child but I hadn't read any of the books until late 2011. Scott Snyder has also been writing Swamp Thing and he has painted quite the epic story. He will soon be leaving this title too and I'm pretty sad about that, I'm really hoping the new writer can give us the same quality horror stories that Snyder has.

All New X-Men:
So Scott Summers was possessed by the Phoenix force and killed Professor X a few months ago. Since then, Beast has traveled back in time and brought the original five X-Men to the present so that current Scott could face his idealistic younger self and hopefully avoid a mutant genocide. I've really enjoyed this book and where they are taking these characters.

Uncanny X-Men:
This book follows Scott Summers and his team of X-Men, Magneto, Emma Frost and Magick as they find and recruit new mutants that are popping up all over to world so that they may train them for whats to come.... A Mutant Revolution. I love the direction they've taken Cyclops in and this is the book to read if you want to follow his journey.

As far as novels go, the next one I will be picking up is Anne Rices "The Wolf Gift" and will definitely review it as soon as I do.

So what are you reading?

I haven't read anything new recently, but been going thru events and comics I missed many years ago such as siege, xmen vs the avengers, and really waiting for mark millar to release kickass number 3

I've started reading monthly comics now, eventually. Only took me a year or so of catching up. I'm currently reading:

Uncanny X-Men
Deadpool
Deadpool Killustrated

My friend lets me read All New X-Men on his comixology account, and the GF wants me to read Saga which looks bad ass.

I'm still reading old comics, like the Deadpool comics from the 90's and I bought a good haul from Mark which includes different X-Books and I'm looking forward to reading them. I'm actually off to pick up Uncanny X-Men today.

While I'm not caught up currently because I buy my monthly comics every three to four months, I'm reading:

-All four Green Lantern titles (though I'm considering dropping the Red Lanterns, because it's just not as good as it should be.)
-Batman Beyond
-Deadpool
-Amazing/Superior Spider-man
-X-Factor (That title is beyond amazing every issue)
-Ultimate Spider-man

In trade form, I'm slowly collecting the Uncanny X-Force and Captain America. I just recently finished re-reading my entire Moon Knight collection (the 70's stuff is the best, but it's mostly all good), and I'm currently trying to re-read my entire Lobo collection.

I added All New X-Men and Wolverine to my list today.

I am currently reading Labour Bondage in West India : From Past to Present by Jan Bremen, sadly fiction is taking a back seat to MA work!

I am starting work on my novel again though.

[Spike Kane]

And my friend has me reading Uncanny Avengers, which I think I may be picking up.

[Angel]

Just picked up Batman: Earth One. I really enjoyed Superman: Earth One so I hope this lives up to my expectations. I liked the first chapter, I kinda wish the Earth One books were where DC started their new universe.

[Spike Kane]

I didn't like Batman: Earth One, can't quite put my finger on why, just didn't hit the mark for me.

My friend has asked me to do a youtube show with him, the premise being educating me in the ways of comics, the idea seems quite fun, and I get to read comics so I can't complain. I'll let you know when it's up.

Et voila
