The current GoTG is pretty good. Nova is also supposed to be good, but I haven't read it since the Now relaunch

irlZaphod posted:That's really not true, Supreme Power was really good, and the first half or so of his Spider-Man is really good too (although some people don't like the Spider-totem stuff, whatevs). His FF was...ok? I forget how much of it I read. Although it does have that really horrible stuff with Reed during Civil War. I think I dropped it around that point. I love Supreme Power but I'd consider that his own work

Is Soule writing everything right now, are there five different people named Charlie Soule, or is he just some kind of fixer?

The Boys was pretty typical of Ennis' stuff, although definitely some of his best. You might want to look into stuff like Preacher and Hitman

Sodomy Non Sapiens posted:I remember as a kid reading some of Dad's old collections of The Phantom and I've always had a little soft spot for the character just from the half-remembered nostalgia that provides. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start/good runs to look for? I don't know if I'm willing to take a shot from the beginning, that's one hell of a lot of comics. If you have archives check out some of the Newspaper comic threads. The daily Phantom is awesome, and in the last thread that just closed they ran some of the early stories Opopanax fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Mar 11, 2014 |

Franchescanado posted:I've been playing Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions lately, and I was wondering if any of the Spider-Man 2099 runs were good and if Spider-Man Noir is any good? 2099 actually still holds up pretty well and is worth checking out. For Noir the first one is really good, but the second's quite a bit weaker.

The Ennis max run is the best hands down. Remender's is also good, if you're into weird stuff

I just read Spider Island and most of the tie ins a few months back and Lurdiak pretty much nailed it. It's nothing great, but as far as big Marvel crossover events go it's not awful.

You'll probably like Astro City too, or really any of Busiek's stuff. His wheelhouse is humanizing the whole superhero experience. Gotham Central, too

It comes up a lot in Brubaker's run, which you should read anyways Basically if the question is ever "Is there a Cap run that [DOES GOOD THING]" the answer is going to be the Bru run Opopanax fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Aug 30, 2014 |

I'm finally reading through Alpha Flight and I was going to skip vol 1 due to the size of it, and I just can never get into old comics, but I figured I'd read the first bit for all the origins and I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. I'm almost done Bryne's run though and I've heard Mantlo's is mediocre-bad, woudl anyone recommend it or should I just jump to vol2 after Bryne?

Basically JMS is really great when he's working on a new idea, but he gets some very very mixed results when using established characters, like the very bad Superman run he did or the sometimes pretty good/sometimes oh my god no Osborn why Spider-Man run.

Castor Poe posted:Thanks guys, much appreciated. What's the general consensus on Emperor Joker, Loeb's Batman/Superman and Grant Morrison's JLA? For JLA try to track down Aztek, too. It'll make the ending make more sense. Also make sure you get Earth 2. It was separate from the trades I had and it's one of my favorite storylines

Seven Soldiers is really the only thing that it leads into directly, and even then not all that much. Definitely do not read Countdown. And if you don't get the trade make sure you pick up Superman Beyond 3D so the ending makes sense
