…Mouse Guard? Really? I’ve never actually directly looked at an issue on the shelf - I’ve just been ignoring them all this time. Is that like some Rats of NIM, Redwall Abbey type fun? I remember reading like all of the Redwall novels when I was a kid - shit was awesome. In no other fictional world can badgers be such beasts.
I never realized how much of a gateway drug that stuff was into the world of furrydom either.
Why don’t you like Green Lantern, Taichi? I think it’s one of DC’s better monthlies. You just don’t like that whole editorial direction with Hal Jordan coming back and replacing Kyle Rayner and stuff? That’s a legitimate issue, I’ll give you that. It’s why I’ll never buy another Batgirl book again.
FAAAABLES!!!11111 definitely at the top of the list. If you haven’t touched that yet, I suggest you drop what you’re doing, and go pick up the first trade at least, Legends In Exile.
I think you’ll like the new Iron Fist series with The Bru. I think a trade for the first couple of issues just came out really recently (last week?) so you can hope right on the wagon and not miss a beat. Definitely give that a shot.
Honestly, there aren’t too many great monthlies right now that I wait all month to pick up (Except CRIMINAAAAAL!!!111, but I don’t know if a trade is out or coming out for it. Oh, and I really like Astonishing X-Men as well, but I don’t know if it’s actually shipping late or if it just feels that way.) - instead I would suggest picking up a ton of trades instead to catch up on things you might have missed the first time around.
Hellboy - Definitely pick up the first five trades or so if you’re interested in it. Everyone should, and the fact that you’re interested already just means you should get to it faster.
Walking Dead - Just excellent, excellent writing.
Invincible - Fun, teenage superhero stuff. Some very old school comic book ideas here, and it’s a very entertaining book.
100 Bullets - There’s like what, 11 trades? Whatever, it’s all good. Some of the best storytelling I’ve ever seen in the comic book medium.
Top Ten - Can’t go wrong with anything by Alan Moore.
Planetary - Shit will blow your mind in a good way.
The Filth - Shit will blow your mind in a bad way. You should really check the trade out, if only for the fact that it’s always really fun for me to tell someone else to read this book. Then it’s like “Haha, you read The Filth too! One of us! One of us! One of us!” Zephy and I can’t be the only ones that had our minds broken by this book.
Sleeper - So good.
And Scott Pilgrim would be on my list of suggestions as well , but I see you’re already there - good stuff.
I would just like to stress FAAAAABLES!!!111 again though.
