I'll admit the last one had me a bit misty eyed too. I've only recently just gotten back into buying comics after a 4 year stint where I lost interest. Unfortunately sometime during those 4 years my parents sold my comics in a garage sale. I lost my whole surfer collection and the whole infinity gauntlet/war etc. series which was a bummer. I recently picked these up with a big box of other silver surfer and warlock comics from a convention in Calgary recently.
So what have i missed in the last 4 years? any suggestions on some new material to read?
I read it issue 3, 4, 2 and 1 because I'm weird like that.
Didn't take much away from it, and while a little pretentious, the ending was really something. I could buy the pathos, and the art sure as hell didn't hurt.
My favorite mini-series of the year. Everything about it was breathtaking.
As for somethings you should check out:
Ultimate Spider-Man (I for one say you can't go wrong with anything from this)
Planet Hulk
Justice Society of America
All Star Batman and Robin
ONLY the main trade of Civil War just to give you background on what is going on
The Dark Tower mini series
Nextwave Agents of H.A.T.E.
Flight Vol 1-4
The Immortal Iron Fist
Invicible
Ultimate X-Men (Vol 5 and 6 are ace)
Y: The Last Man
Ex Machina
Idenity Crisises
Zombies Vs. Robots
Pride of Baghdad
Sinstro Corps
Year One Green Arrow
Man, there are like two things I really want to tell you but they are not coming to mind. Anyway, these are some of my recent favs.
The Marvel Knights imprint got changed at some point during the last year or so. Now it's just for out-of-continuity miniseries, like Requiem, Spider-man : Reign and Ghost Rider : Trail of Tears

JMS is just too wordy and pretentious for me.
Stop telling me what I'm supposed to be feeling three times a panel.

Explain? That issue was one of the best I thought.

I'll keep a look out for this one.

I agree it was heavyhanded and made me roll my eyes a lot, but I loved the rest of the series regardless
Wait wait wait. . .
Then how did events from The Other get mentioned in Civil War?
The Other is in-continuity for 616.
Surfer Requiem is not. Explicitly.
I don't know what this Marvel Knights stuff is about, but Requiem is, as noted, like The End comics.
