Titles You Read Outside of DC

[Soubhagya]

I follow two titles regularly.

1.Amazing Spider-Man:Renew Your Vows.I love Spider-Man and i love Incredibles. I love superhero family.The book is good.There maybe an occasional issue which is not good as the others but overall it is a worthy title to follow.I love the dynamics of Spidey-MJ relationship and MJ balancing work-family life and superheroics.

2.The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl:I really love this book.It is consistently witty,charming and funny.Free of a long continuity and existing in its own bubble it is quite easy to follow.They try out new ideas.Once they did one issue as a choose your own story book and another where story was told from the eyes of a cat!Squirrel Girl's supporting characters are immensely likable with her roommate Nancy the highlight.Optimistic,sweet and unbeatable Squirrel Girl comes across as an earnest hero of the old,in the mould of Christopher Reeves Superman or Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman.There are even references to DC heroes which while funny can come only from fans.I particularly liked one Dark Knight Returns(..this isn't a mudhole...) and Batman Year One(...you have feasted well...).Latest issue(#23) had a hilarious reference to Superman.Some people have issues with its cartoonish art.(I have no problems)The art fits the story and tone of the book.I say persist with it as it is a genuinely good book.

As far as favorite stories or arcs that aren't DC...

Frank Miller's Daredevil
Specifically issues 168 to 181, the Daredevil, Elektra, Bullseye, Kingpin stuff. I borrowed it from the library and never returned it But I did have to pay twenty bucks or whatever it was. I was like 13, it was a perfect balance of adult and fun, for the time it was written and how old I was. Just what I needed at the time, and still something I can read all the way through and wonder where the time went.

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four
I read these in the Essentials form but they were still so much fun even without color. Namor as the head of a film studio and Adolf Hitler revealed to be the Hatemonger... amazing.

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's Spider-Man
Ditko and Kirby have to be my favorites from that era. Read it in the Essentials, then had to get the Omnibus. It's like trying to read a cinder block, but worth it for how colorful it is.

Astro City: Confession
Picked up the first volume Life in the Big City on a whim because Alex Ross did the covers. It's excellent as well, but this Confession story really blew my mind. One of the best Super Hero stories ever as far as I'm concerned.

Sin City: The Hard Goodbye
First non-Super Hero comic I ever read. Another one that blew my mind. The art and style of the book is just so beautiful and the story is as gritty as it gets.

Infinity Guantlet
Read this recently. It's cosmic chaos. Enjoyed the hell out of this book.

Is Black Magick good?

Outside of DC i don't read much. Marvel has so many characters i love but not one book appeals to me. Valiant fell off badly in quality. Dark Horse's bread and butter is the Mignolaverse but it isn't accessible for newbies like me. When it comes to Image, Invincible is their only good book. Dynamite and IDW are unimportant. That just leaves me with DC. Open to suggestions though.

Highly recommend Paper Girls from Image.

Check out Brissons current run on Iron Fist, it only has like 6 issues out and it is fantastic. Like I said it's like a Bruce Lee movie meets superheroes.

Frank Miller's Daredevil run is the stuff of legend. You can't forget Born Again either!

Is Black Magick good?

Very good. Unfortunately, it's slow as hell coming out. The first arc is in trade and then the creative team took a break to do Wonder Woman, but the first issue for the second arc came out recently. I'd recommend it if you have patience.

[Starter Set]

Ah, i also forgot Amazing Spider-man.

[Jon Clark]

Uner- sort of grim "What if superpowers were able to be mass produced by both sides in the closing days of WW II" from Avatar
Big Bang Comics- when they come out
Shadow and Doc Savage from Dynamite

[Graphic Autist]

Only regular Marvel title I read is Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.

The Vision limited series was good, too. But it's done. DC has been smoking Marvel for almost 30 years now. I wouldn't read much DC in the early 80s, and Marvel was king back then.

They sure fucked that all up, and quick.

[Starchild]

Another title that i read is Spread. I forgot to add that in.
