    i cannot keep this pull list, i need to trim a few books. but which ones...
    All-New X-Men
    Amazing Spider-Man
    Animal Man (2011-)
    Avengers
    Captain America
    Chew
    Deadpool
    Fantastic Four
    FF
    Guardians of the Galaxy
    Hawkeye
    Indestructible Hulk
    Locke & Key Omega
    Lot 13
    New Avengers
    Secret Avengers
    Superior Spider-Man
    Swamp Thing (2011-)
    Thor: God of Thunder
    Ultimate Comics Spider-Man
    Uncanny Avengers
    Uncanny X-Force
    Uncanny X-Men
    Venom
    X-Men: Legacy
    Young Avengers

    a few will naturally fall off currently/in the near future: amazing spider-man, locke & key, lot 13, secret avengers[remender](?), uncanny x-force. but, i probably should not spend as much as i have been lately on comics. ugh. goodbye deadpool, maybe hulk, uncanny avengers? fantastic four? fucking NOW, and i'll probably want to pick up the ultron series when that starts up.

    i'd say dump animal man and swamp thing, deadpool, and gotg beyond the ones that are falling off

  • jkylefultonjkylefulton Squid...or Kid? NNID - majpellRegistered User regular
    Yeah, definitely pick up Age of Ultron, who wants to pass up a chance to spend money on Brian Hitchs' tired bullshit.

    I like Bryan Hitch and think Age of Ultron looks neat

    Dump every avengers title. They are the best representative of trade wait I can think of.

    Both FF titles to since they're interconnected.

    Shit that's like sixty a month right there

    you are an insane person

    Hickman's Avengers is like the one book I would not want to missing out on

    Riptor's right. None of the Avengers or FF books are at risk of cancellation. Well, maybe Young Avengers. Just because it's popular on tumblr doesn't mean shit for sales.

    You could drop Spider-Man to send a message to Marvel that you're tired of the way they've treated the character these last few years.

    You wouldn't be. You'd just wait six months get it all at once provably with an amazon discount.

    I can hardly wait two weeks from one issue to the next
    Six months would be impossible

    I didn't realize how horribly the property had been treated these last few years until I explained the current status quo to a friend who had gotten out of comics a few years back and was looking to potentially catch up with his favorite street-level everyman hero.

  • nightmarennynightmarenny Registered User regular
    Eh? Well I mean there is OMD and Superior is questionable but Big Time, Spider Island and Ends of the Earth have all been solid editions to the mythos.

    Help me raise a little cash for my transition costs

  • WiseManTobesWiseManTobes Registered User regular
    Ya it kinda stinks how all the awesome stuff between OMD and Superior is going to get the sting of their awfulness, when besides those 2 things, spidey's been pretty darn fantastic for a long time.

    We are coming off a 100+ issue run of the series that is among the best Amazing Spider-Man has ever been.

    If Superior sucks, well nothing lasts forever.

  • UltimateInfernoUltimateInferno Registered User regular
    Yeah regardless of what Superior will or won't be, Spider-Island is one of my all time favorite Spider-Man stories. With a lot of Slott's Big Time run up there as well.

    "Ride or Die?" asked Goku

    "Ride or Die" confirmed Dominic Toretto, as they took off to find the Dragon Balls in hopes of reviving their friend Sonic
  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    I don't think that highly of Spider-Island but the tail end of the brain trust era is my thing

    Gauntlet
    Grim Hunt
    Origin of the Species

    hell yes please

    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    Yeah, Big Time started off great but I think people forget that Amazing was in an upswing with the arcs before it. I would also put Shed in there as well, really great Lizard arc.

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    Shed rules, but I'm pretty sure it was part of The Gauntlet

  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    gauntlet was super great

    i didn't particularly care for grim hunt

    and then big time and all that started and yes, yes those are completely incredible comic books like dang that's some good spidey

    When we need our Ape Beast fix, there is always Dark Beast running around out there.

    Cat beast was a horrible idea made even worse by Morrison having the character declare himself gay for a revenge fantasy. Grant Morrison wrote a terrible Beast.

  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    Cat Beast would have been fine, had artist stuck to one look. It seemed that he looked all over the place depending who was drawing him.

    And Joss Whedon along with Keiron Gillen fixed that by hooking up Beast with Agent Brand. Don't get me wrong I have no issue with Beast maybe being gay but it was handled terribly.

  • GaslightGaslight Registered User regular
    Wait, it's been a while since I read New X-Men but I thought Beast just claimed to be gay to fuck with somebody's head. I didn't remember it being a serious thing.

  • King RiptorKing Riptor Registered User regular
    I think that was the retcon.

    Correct, he did it just to mess with Trish Tilby, who was at that point only talking to him to further her career, and she proved him right by running with what he said.

    Morrison wrote a good Beast who was having trouble trying to adapt to being in a more clumsy body (trying to cure the nano-sentinels but his hands can't work delicately anymore), cat Beast is no different than ape Beast which was no different than his normal whitey Beast self.

    Iron Man 5 was the best issue yet and gives Gillen's little identity crisis for Tony a nice pay off. I really like his idealistic dreamer take on Stark and it seems to be what is going to drive the book forward so I am totally down for Godkiller.

    Yep.

    Land is still terrible, though.

    So, I've finally grabbed some hulk titles after really enjoying Planet Hulk. I read World War Hulk, Son of Banner, Fall of the Hulks and World War Hulks. I've liked it so far. Is it worth it to continue on from there (Dark Son, Chaos War, Heart of the Monster)?

  • BalefuegoBalefuego Registered User regular
    the rest of Greg Pak's run is absolutely worth reading yes

    Finally finished all 28 issues of Secret Warriors.
    This is the best Marvel comic I have ever read.
    Hickman is a god.
