Favorite Comics

October 1st, 2008

Figured I’d compose a list of some of my recent favorite comic book novels: Zendra, Battle Gods, The MetaBarons, and Micheal Turner’s Fathom. If you haven’t checked those out you are probably missing out.

Favorite series I wish to see completed: BattleChasers (come on Joe Mad, finish it), Plasm (Jim Shooter / Defiant), The First (CrossGen), Echo by Pat Lee…

Regular series that I follow or loved: All the stuff Jim Shooter did at Valiant, Defiant, and now DC Comics writing Legion of Super Heroes. Used to get all the hot Marvel stuff back in the day (pre-Image Comics) when Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Micheal Turner, Jae Lee, Erik Larson, and Chris Claremont all resided there. Naturally when many of the artists left to form Image, I started grabbing up all of their titles. Later, got really into CrossGen comics for while but after they went under I sort of dropped comics altogether for awhile. Yep I was pretty disappointed I was very fond of their universe.

But eventually returned to the scene, attending San Diego Comic Con ‘07 and started playing catchup.

DC Comics

September 23rd, 2008

I never really gave DC Comics a fair shot much back in the day beyond Sandman comics written by Neil Gaiman. A friend of mine gave me a bunch of DC Comics though that he got from during work for them. I’ve really enjoyed a lot of the stories. I’ve actually always been a fan of Legion Of Superheroes (currently being written by Jim Shooter) but also I’m a lot more familiar with Wildstorm, Stormwatch, and some of the other comics.

Picked up Dynamo 5 the other day as well and a bunch of other comics. Sadly, haven’t had much free time to read them all. But I am caught up with Legion at least :)
