Comic Books and Graphic Novels: What are you reading?

Recommended Posts

Currently reading Batman Zero Year and Mad Love.

 

Looking to pick up Saga volume 1 next week... hopefully.

I LOVE Saga.  It's so great.  It's some of the best science fiction I've ever read.

 

I'm mostly a DC girl.  I read pretty much all the Bat-books (Batman, Batgirl, Batwoman, Batman and Robin, you get the idea).  I'm also reading The Flash, Worlds Finest (Power Girl and Huntress), All-Star Western, The Movement and a few of the other DC books I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.  I used to read almost all of the DC books but dropped a lot of them when the new 52 happened (they took most of my favorite characters away).  I just started reading some of the Marvel books.  I LOVE Hawkeye, Young Avengers, Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy.  I'm trying to read some of the X-Men books but I'm having a hard time getting to know the characters.  It's hard to tell one supermodel in black leather from all the other supermodels in black leather.  I started reading Red Sonja because Gail Simone is writing it and it's awesome so far.  Sonja is badass.

Currently working my way through back-issues of Irredeemable and Incorruptible.

 

Allen Moore's The Killing Joke and Chuck Austen's The Pain of the Gods, particularly the Flash's story, remain my favorite DC titles.

Strength isn’t just about winning. Even if my attempts are pathetic and comical, and even if I’m covered in the mud of my defeat, if I can keep fighting and look up at the sky as I lie on the ground, that alone is proof of true strength! Haruyuki Arita (Accel World)

Oh, Hughes. :L I watched the anime (all of FMA and FMA:Brotherhood) a couple of months ago. I held out hope that he was going to make some kind of miraculous reappearance but he never did. One of the saddest character losses ever to me. . 

 

Currently reading: Saga, Volume 1, by Brian K. Vaughan

I'm generally not much of a comic book reader, but lately I've been picking up graphic novels at the public library. Kazu Kibuishi's 'Oracle' series is great stuff: magic, mechs, anthropomorphized animals, and wise-ass robots.  It's done for middle-school readers, but that's never stopped me before.  He's got another book out called 'Daisy Kutter'; more grown-up, but still good.

 

Of course, "Girl Genius Online" is required reading, as is the "DMZ" series, "Hellboy", and "Constantine".
