I've been collecting & reading mainly DC Comics and my favorite title is Justice League Dark. JLD is a title about the magic side of the DCU and for me it's been Great from the very beginning. I loved the crossover story the JLD had with I, Vampire which is another cool book, but it's being cancelled...
I'm adding Justice League of America & JLA's Vibe to my pull list along with Constantine and Cable & X-Force from Marvel. I also like from Red Circle Comics the New Crusaders Rise of the Heroes 6 issue series and soon the New Crusaders Dark Tomorrow 6 issue series...

I've gone digital and I'm really enjoying the Red Lanterns book and I'm 3 issues in and have issues 4-7 still to read. I am going to get Vol.2 of the RL graphic novel and then catchup with the others I need...

I'm a huge comic guy too. I collect way more titles than I can list. I'm really rather sick in the head about it.  Some would say obsessed... JLD is one of my favorite DCs as well. It reminds me of my old favorite Marvel title The Defenders. An eclectic group of heroes fighting strange menaces. Its hard for me to bring up specific titles and stuff because I read so many. Ummm... As far as DC goes, I'm also really enjoying Earth 2. Manhattan Projects by Jonathan Hickman is also a great weird title. I gotta stop or I'll go on forever. |

I'm a huge JLD fan and Constantine is a great book and have you read Phantom Stranger #4 & #8 with the JLD in it.? Earth 2 is cool and I'm reading the graphic novel vol. 1 currently. I agree JLD has a old the Defenders vibe and I really have liked every issue and I haven't read a book like that since Big Bang Comics... |

I did read the Phantom Strangers. Haven't read Constantine yet. The last few years of Hellblazer were great and I'm having trouble switching over.  One of the things I really like about JLD is Frankenstein. I really enjoyed his title until it was cancelled. I'm glad to see they kept him around. |

I have to get the digital copies of Frankenstein one day, he is a great character and addition to the JLD roster... |

Can I play??? I don't read comics much any more so I mostly just pick up random graphic novels. With Captain America: The Winter Soldier coming up I picked up The Winter Soldier graphic novel. It is actually really, really good so far. Don't ruin anything for me if you have read it already but I am really liking it. And it is one of those books where the story has you so enthralled that you almost forget to look at the artwork. Then when you start looking at the artwork, it is so good that you lose track of the story.
I can't afford comics much any more and hate feeling like I don't know what's going on. That is why I stick with the collected graphic novels. I might start going back through some of my old comics that I haven't read in a while too though.
I do enjoy hearing about what is going on in current books though so, aceldamas, feel free to gush. I'd love to hear your thoughts on all that is going on in Marvel and DC.

I like several books in the New 52 of DC Comics, but this reboot by the company really hasn't gone too well. Anyway, Justice League Dark is a great read where we follow the team of magical characters and John Constantine is a key character in the book. I really liked having Shade, the Changing Man in the book, but he no longer is. The Red Lanterns book is now my second favorite book from DC, thid book follows a group of creatures full of Rage and they're looking for revenge for those who have been wronged. So JLD & Red Lanterns are my Top 2 books from DC as of now... |
