I think that's it for right now. I was collecting Green Lantern but Blackest Night was getting out of control (too many titles) so I stopped. I will wait till Brightest Day is over then go back. I'll start reading the Flash again when its Wally West.

[Cmonster]

Anything but the J. Michael Stracynzki Superman. What a JOKE.

[The Toyroom]

New Ultimates (for as long as Frank Cho is drawing)

I forgot about that....Me too...Same reason

[The Toyroom]

Anything but the J. Michael Stracynzki Superman. What a JOKE.

The last issue had a Cary Bates/Curt Swan done-in-one vibe from the 70s that I thought was cool....

[samurainoir]

i Zombie (FANTASTIC new Vertigo series)

I had heard good things about this one. I'll be picking it up in trade format.

In no particular order:

DC
Secret Six
Doc Savage
Birds of Prey
Zatanna
Brave & the Bold (DCU)
Brave & the Bold (cartoon)cancelled!
Green Lantern
GL Corps
JSA
I Zombie (this is a good one!)


Mini-series

Brightest Day
First Wave
Tom Strong & the Robots of Doom
Gorilla-Man
Time Masters (because it was good when it was called Booster Gold, instead of whatever 90s retreading Giffen is pulling in that book now)


Marvel
SHIELD
Atlas
Spider-Girl (cancelled in favor of Arana getting the name in current continuity- boo! hiss! bad move, Marvel!)

Independants

Kill Shakespeare
Doctor Who
Solomon Kane
Kolchak the Night Stalker (when they actually put it out!)
Domino Lady
Vampire Pa. (this is a nifty little book about Vampires in Pittsburgh Pa, and the HVAC guy that kills them after work. The first issue came out a week or so ago. Seriously, it's Moonstone find a copy you'll like it.)


Dropped

Booster Gold
Power Girl
JSA All-Stars

Jonah Hex (sad to do it, but decided to read this one in trades)

Batman Odyssey (terrible writing, nice to look at, but jeez DC- Denny O' Neil's still around ***?)

Captain America (really Bucky-ed out on this one, and the reborn crap finished it off. Have they finally killed off the nutso Cap of the 1950s? Because that story wasn't interesting the first time they did it during the Nixon administration)
Close to the edge

The Flash (wow, this is a stinker, but I want to support Barry Allen's return so I've been buying it, but...)

Lone Ranger (Four years to produce 20-some issues, and it's still the SAME FREAKIN' STORYLINE- yikes!)

BTW-
Another little known series I came across was a six issue IDW title from a couple years ago called THE DREAMER, about a teenage girl who dreams herself back into the Revolutionary war. It's a romance type book, and the modern day stuff in high school is best glossed through, but the 1776 stuff is pretty neat. It's in trade pb, so you might find it cheap. I bought the set for $5.00.

Dropped


Jonah Hex (sad to do it, but decided to read this one in trades)

This is one of my top 3 reads every month...I can't wait for trades

Captain America (really Bucky-ed out on this one, and the reborn crap finished it off. Have they finally killed off the nutso Cap of the 1950s? Because that story wasn't interesting the first time they did it during the Nixon administration)

I dropped it a few issues ago but then I got back into it....the Zemo plotline is intriguing and I'm hoping Bucky gets killed off eventually. As for the 50s Cap, I think he got away and is still out there.

Close to the edge

The Flash (wow, this is a stinker, but I want to support Barry Allen's return so I've been buying it, but...)

BIG Barry Allen fan here too but I couldn't get past the stench of the first issue...Geoff Johns is no longer the Golden Boy at DC....He's got some tarnish now IMO.

Lone Ranger (Four years to produce 20-some issues, and it's still the SAME FREAKIN' STORYLINE- yikes!)

Oh dude I bagged this title a LOOOONG time ago....I love the Lone Ranger but this was the comic book equivalent of watching paint dry

[BlackKnight]

The Flash (wow, this is a stinker, but I want to support Barry Allen's return so I've been buying it, but...)

My Comicbook Guy was sold outta issue 3 ...
I started looking for it online...., then I was like " What the F am I doing " ?

I left Flash.... not looking back either. I hate Barry Allen , after what He made Ollie Do.

[kryptosmaster]

I have no idea. I'm in comic book purgatory right now.
Waiting on a backlog shipment and deciding if I want to keep collecting.

There is also a new Tim Vigil title coming out, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.
