I just read the new Batman Beyond series and both the Sneak Peak and issue #1 were very good and I'll be reading this series with Red Hood/Arsenal, Starfire, Earth 2: Society and the book I really like is Gotham by Midnight. GbyM stopped at issue #5 a few months back during the Convergence stuff, so it picks up with issue #6. The only title I'm picking up from Marvel is the Battleworlds Ghost Racers, that series really looks cool...

I'm only reading Batman Beyond now and that's from the old mini-series to the follow up ongoing series to the other books that follow those and I really like this character. I even have the old cartoon series and it's amazing how I didn't get into Beyond back when it started. The new series is really cool and I've read those books multiple times and will go back again to read them all over again...

I've been reading everything Marvel for the past few months since everything started back at #1. As I decide a book isn't worth my time, I quit reading it.
So far, there's a lot of comics that are right in the middle. Not so offensively bad that I don't want to read anymore but nothing where I feel super excited to pick it up and read it.
The few that I would consider to be really fun so far are Hercules, Vision, Doctor Strange, Howling Commandos of SHIELD, Spider-Man 2099, Totally Awesome Hulk, Daredevil and Amazing Spider-Man. I wish there were more that I was REALLY enjoying because I have always loved Marvel. I'd love for this new jumping off point to be my re-entry into comic book fandom but I have a feeling they are going to lose me if they don't improve the quality on a lot of these books fast.
The ones I've already dropped: Howard the Duck, Angela: Queen of Hel, Moon-Girl & Devil Dinosaur, New Avengers (just a dumb lineup of characters that I really couldn't care less about), Squirrel Girl, Patsy Walker, Spider-Gwen (though I don't actually dislike the comic or her character, just found it frustrating to be reading a whole bunch of books in one universe and one single book in another that required multiple pages at the end of every issue to explain what the heck is going on in that universe).

I've been reading everything Marvel for the past few months since everything started back at #1. As I decide a book isn't worth my time, I quit reading it. I've flipped through most all of the Marvel reboot titles and seen more bad than good. I'm a longtime Avengers collector and this is the first time that I can remember not getting a single Avengers title. So many bad ideas coming out of Marvel right now. It's like they are trying anything and seeing what sticks. That being said, Doctor Strange has been really good, Totally Awesome Hulk is entertaining despite initially not liking the concept. Also been picking up Daredevil and giving the Inhumans titles a try. But I have to say, Marvel's Star Wars titles are the best thing they are doing right now. I've never been a big fan of Star Wars comics but these really capture the feel of the movies. |

I thought about checking out Doctor Strange and the new Powerman and Iron Fist series...

I thought about checking out Doctor Strange and the new Powerman and Iron Fist series... Have to agree with aceldamas , the new Dr. Strange is really good. I'm glad I gave it a shot as I'm not a big Dr. Strange fan. Love the art so much, which means in three issues they'll switch to a new artist, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Highly recommended. As a huge Daredevil mark, I'm not digging his 'sidekick' but I'm very glad they put him back in a costume and made everyone forget his identity. |

I just joined ComiXology to start reading MARVEL again and I just read in my view two fun issues (issues #1) of the new Black Knight series, I loved both issues and the story so far is cool stuff. I'm going to slowly pick other books to read, but for now Black Knight is the first series...

Not my favorite but there's enough going on in that title that interests me to make it one that I kind of look forward to each month. |

I like where things seem to be going in the Daredevil series so far. It's one of the few books that feels true to form for the character instead of All New! All Different! Feels like the character of Matt Murdock / Daredevil has evolved but not totally changed just cuz. |

Since I'm kind of getting back into comics, I'd love to hear any recommendations of other things people are enjoying.
I tried reading 100 Bullets since there is supposedly a TV series on the way and I could barely make it through the first issue. Hopefully a TV series is better.
