ok since i started reading Civil War this past weekend i am craving more. i've been out of the comics scene for over 15 years so i have no idea whats going on with who. can you guys give me some suggestions on storylines??
thanks in advance.
~~my favorites were always X-Men, Wolverine, Spiderman (any of them), Spawn, Star Wars, pretty much anything that was done by McFarlane.
I been collecting/reading comics for about 16 years now. It is still to this day my favorite hobby. Here are some suggestions:
Astonishing X-Men. The last movie should have been issues 6-12 of this title. It would have been MUCH better. The hardcover was release recently and I urge you to pick it up.
Ultimates. The only "ultimate" title I pick up as I don't like the alternate take on the characters. It reads better in hardcover format since the title is usually delayed.
Punisher. My favorite Marvel read on a monthly basis. It's raw storytelling with a lot of street based crime. The best move Marvel made was putting Punisher in a mature MAX imprint and letting Garth Ennis do his thing. AWESOME stuff.
Wolverine #42 was released recently and it's a good jumping on point. I love Humberto Ramos's stuff since Impulse so I may be a bit biased when it comes to his stuff. Some people hate the cartoony look but I love it.
Wolverine: Origins is a new series and deals with Logan getting revenge after House of M gave him all his memories back. So far is keeping my interest just to see where they are going with this. Yeah, Wolverine's identity is now known and he got his memories back. The character is no longer wrapped in mystery. Pick up the "Origin" trade by Paul Jenkins for the full scoop.
Powers. Another one that reads very well in trades. Awesome cop comic with two detectives that work in a world full of super-heroes.
Savage Dragon. In my opinion the only Image title worth picking up along with Invincible and Walking Dead.
If you are interested at all on DC I strongly recommend from the Vertigo imprint Fables, Y the Last Man and 100 Bullets. From the Wildstorm imprint I recommend Planetary and Ex Machina. Alll of these are SOLID pick ups as trades and you can't go wrong.
If you have any favorites in the superhero genre let me know and I'll recommend a few titles. Welcome back to comics by the way.
