Avengers Arena

[the game]

So I just started reading Avengers Arena and am enjoying it. What comics are you guys reading currently? I'm obviously also reading x-men red and all-new wolverine.

[Gallahadd]

Mighty Thor: Jason Aaron is a GOD, the work he's been doing on Thor since God of Thunder has been nothing short of legendary. The current arc "The Death of Mighty Thor" has been out of this world. The latest issues, combining Odin and Odinson's battle with the Mangog, Loki and Freyja's first meeting since he (literally) stabbed her in the back, and Jane Foster's backstory was a real rollercoaster... And we all know what's coming.

Invincible Iron Man: From the Sublime, to the Ridiculous. I'm not really sure why I'm still reading Iron Man... the quality has declined of late and I only really enjoy the Doom plot, and even that has been lacking recently.

Doctor Strange: Donny Cates FTW. He's been doing great work with Strange, I was worried when he took over after Aaron's excellent "Last Days of Magic" and I wasn't sure anything could beat that... Then I read "Loki: Sorcerer Supreme" WHAT a run. Excited to see what comes next! Also, Bats ftw.

Thanos: GREAT fun, this book started slowly, but the "Thanos Wins" arc has been outstanding, Cosmic Ghost Rider is a legend, King Thanos is a serious Monster and as for the Fallen One... Hell yes!

Captain America: Eh, it's alright. At this stage I'm mostly waiting for Ta Nehisi Coates to take over.

Batman White Knight: Expectations were very high for this run, but it's somehow exceeded even that. GREAT art work, interesting story and one of my favourite ever versions of the Joker. Can't wait to see how this ends... Although I kind of hope it doesn't.

Saga: This book started off SO well, I feel like it's lost a bit of it's steam in recent chapters, I keep reading because it still has such prior credit, and I hope that they can recapture some of that old magic.

The Wicked + The Divine(TPB): omfg, I love this book so much. After the epic cliffhanger at the end of Imperial Phase I, I was a bit worried when part II started off a little slow, but holy shit it picked up and the ending was somehow even MORE of a cliffhanger than the first part. I MAY have to move to monthly issues, not sure I can wait for the next TPB.

[Fencers]

King's Batman run is the only thing I am buying in issues. It's fantastic.

[Gallahadd]

Marvel:
Captain America (I don't know why I still read this one, its been pretty meh since Nick Spencer left)

Yeah, the quality has dropped quite sharply of late. Really hoping that Coates can pull it back, I'll give it... 3 issues, after the writer swap. Then I'lll see how it is.

DC:
Green Lanterns
Hal Jordan

How are these going? I always wanted to start GL, but I wasn't sure if the run was worth it.

They're pretty good. Hal Jordan is more about the GL Corps as a whole and builds off of all the established history (you don't need to have read the last 40 or so years to understand whats going on though). Green Lanterns is more focused on the two new earth lanterns Jessica and Simon and is targeted at new readers as it explains the origins of the GL corps.

Oddly enough sometimes it seems like John Stewart is the star of the Hal Jordan comic.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

I’m reading to many to keep track of off the top of my head but here’s a few.
Moon girl
Scarlet spider
All new wolverine.
Ice man.
All of secret empire.
New run always run.
New venom run.
New spirts of vengeance (so happy to see ghost rider again)
Dark knights metal I guess but I’ve been skipping though a lot of it have lost interest in most of it.
Injustice 2.
Batman
And more I can’t remeber.

[Jotaux]

Dark knights metal I guess but I’ve been skipping though a lot of it have lost interest in most of it.

I completely forgot about Datk knights Metal, I’m reading that and doomsday clock as well.

Dooms day clock is one I need to read, I think I read the first issue but then forgot about it. I have a back log of dc I’ve been meaning to get though but other then injustice and Batman I’ve been putting most of my reading time in to marvel.

Those of you reading All-new Wolverine. What do you guys think of Gabby?

Sounds like exactly what I was looking for. I've read a few of the major GL stories (Darkest Night/Brightest Day, Sinestro causing all his shit) but never really followed a series. Is there a decent jumping on point, or should I just start at Rebirth #1?

Rebirth #1 is good enough. I really should go back and read the GL comics, its just so daunting to catch up. Comics Explained is a really good youtube channel that explains a lot of the story lines in comics. I like him because hes so enthused about everything.

To be honest, DC has been killing it with rebirth.

[Orby]

For DC

I got back into DC again as the new Rebirth stuff was amazing, really fixed the shit hole that was the New 52 which kind of killed DC for me at a point. But since Rebirth I have come back to DC again.

Detective Comics, Batman, Justice League, Justice League of America, Titans and Teen Titans

From Marvel

Still reading X-Men related side of Marvel :P

X-Men Blue, X-Men Gold. Astonishing X-Men, All New Wolverine, Iceman, Jean Gray, and Weapon X

Been hearing good things about USAvengers though, I been wanting to get into that.

Those of you reading All-new Wolverine. What do you guys think of Gabby?

Funny thing is a lot of people think she is annoying and hate her with a passion, I think she is quite adorable, like one of those old school sidekicks but not entirely useless. The way Gabby and Laura work off each other is pretty good too, its like a sister/younger sister relationship. And for what it is I don't mind it.

I agree that Gabby is a great character.

Been enjoying her so far really enjoyed when her and her sisters showed up.
