So in a few other threads several people had recommended The Vision to other posters and I finally got around to going to my LCS the other day and picked up the first 3 issues and Holy poo poo! Thank you so much! That book is amazing.

Check out his Sheriff of Babylon and Omega Men too. Especially Sheriff since nobody posts about new Vertigo books. That thread is lonely.

So, I'm thinking of jumping back into comics after taking a couple of years off (I stopped buying comics when Secret Warriors ended. (Goddamn, how good was Secret Warrirors?)) I have Marvel Unlimited and I'm catching up.

Generally, my tastes line up with BSS and I'm thinking of picking up 5 books a month. Any suggestions?

Here are my five post-2010 comics to try: Follow Jonathan Hickman from Secret Warriors into Fantastic Four (then later on, Avengers/New Avengers/Infinity/Secret Wars), Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender, Thor: God of Thunder by Jason Aaron, Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, and Daredevil by Mark Waid :)

e: Or do you mean you want five current comics to follow?

I find comicvine has pretty good notes on when a series gets renumbered and starts new with a list of trades and what issues they contain.

For example: http://comicvine.gamespot.com/daredevil/4050-41410/

quote:

Continued from Daredevil (Vol. 2) *link* . THE DEVIL IS REBORN. RENEWED. RESSURECTED. Having turned his world upside down over the past several years, Matt Murdock realizes that justice may not be blind to his past and villains may not be the only ones looking for answers. It lasted for 36 issues, after which the comic was revamped as Daredevil (vol.4) *link* with the same creative team.

Written by Mark Waid.

Artists for the series include:

Paolo Rivera (#1-3, #7, #9-10)
Marcos Martin (#1, #4-6)
Kano (#8)
Khoi Pham (#10.1 & #13)
Marco Checchetto (#11)
Chris Samnee (#12, #14-16, #18 onwards)
Mike Allred (#17).
Jock (#27)
Javier Rodriguez (#28-29)

Collected Editions

Trade Paperbacks

Daredevil by Mark Waid Vol. 1 (#1-6)

Since I'm only on this side of it it could just be bias, but is a lot of talent moving from DC to Marvel?

Apparently Prez is still coming back with Caudwell, so I don't know if I'd count this.
Charles Soule, Jeff Lemire and Andreas Sorrentino moving to Marvel were huge last year. They were doing comics all over, but mostly for DC, while DC got John Romita Jr. I think Marvel won that one.

Now DC's got a Sam Humphries comic coming out while Cullen Bunn's seemingly quit them. Greg Pak strangely didn't have a Rebirth comic announced, so I'd say that's one for Marvel, but it just got announced that he's on this new Kamandi project, so I dunno. His Action Comics artist, Aaron Kuder was absent from the Rebirth announcement, while just getting pegged for Marvel covers. That might be something. Tom King got married to DC, which put an end to him writing Marvel's best comic.

The biggest loss for DC right now is definitely the entire Batgirl team to an Image comic, but there was also Marvel guys Esad Ribic and Jerome Opena at that thing. Genevieve Valentine fell out of DC, but hasn't got a Marvel comic either. Both companies threw away Marguerite Bennett this year.

I'm gonna stop trying to think of examples now, but it doesn't seem to be a landslide either way.

I have no idea how exclusivity or contracts work, are most creators free to do whatever or are most locked into a single company?


Should I be psyched about a Lemire Moon Knight?

Most are freelance. For the DC Rebirth event they made a big deal out of exclusive signings, but it was still only around 10 writers and artists.

I find Lemire has about a 50% chance of me loving his comic or being pretty disappointed.
Have you read his other stuff? Animal Man and Green Arrow are good superhero runs from him. Old Man Logan is going well currently.
His indie stuff is the best, but those sensibilities don't seem to come out very strongly in his 'big two' comics.

Hey - I haven't been to my LCS in a while. When I went yesterday, they were out of Vision #4 & #5. I've added it to my pull list so this won't happen again. But, I'd like to read those two issues before I read #6. Anyone have floppies they'd be willing to sell? I don't like digital, prefer to own full runs, and can't find any (or any reasonably priced, really eBay, 9 bucks for issue 4?) on-line. Or do any of you insiders know if they're being re-printed? Thanks.

The Jae Lee series? I'm pretty sure that's universally loved. It's the only inhumans thing past their origin that I've heard good things about.

I think the incursions still happened, including the events of the 'Last Days' issues according to Ms Marvel. Her and Bruno still had their moment awaiting the end of the world, which now just didn't happen.

I haven't been keeping up with Iron Man or Uncanny Avengers (for Steve) but have they indicated their whole pre-SW fight still happened? I suppose Reed could've just left that out for their sakes.

I dunno if this has been guessed at to death already, but does anyone wanna bet that everything in this series after the party, or meeting the Inhumans ends up being a vision, and he solves it himself by walking away?
That'd be an easy way to have as many deaths as you want with no consequence.
