    The Fade Out.

    I know it's still only been one issue, but what can I say, they knocked it out of the park for me. I'm waiting very impatiently for issue 2. The book just hit all the right notes for me.

    My favorite book is the one i am reading at the time. If i read Lazarus ist my fave book, if i read Walking Dead that would be my choice...its impossible to have a Favorit one. Ist like picking your favorite child...cruel...

    East of West is a good read but i enjoy it more in a row than month to month, same with Lazarus, so i have to pick Saga, Savage Dragon or Walking Dead. And then there is Invincible and others....

    Oh Damn: Walking Dead gives me the most joy month to month...or maybe...no...TWD wins today. But just today!

    Tough call, but I think I'd give the slight edge to Trees.

    It really does. I get that it's a little weird for the mainstream (I definitely have friends of good taste whom I doubt would like it). But in a comics community that has embraced sci-fi like Saga and East Of West, I would have thought there would be more love for such a wonderfully creative, strange title. I also like how it's not self-aware. There's a spirit of old fashioned, almost conan-esque, adventure that takes itself not exactly seriously, but at least with a straight face. I am very tired of sci-fi titles that wink at the audience to let them know it's not to be taken seriously.

    Prophet really is great. I need to do a re-read of my three TPBs soon.

    I'm gonna have to say Invincible, probably the comic I enjoy reading the most (even re-reading), the art, characters and storylines just hit all the right notes for me.

    On an off topic note, can I start reading prophet from the 2012 series and understand what is going on?

    It's actually intended that you do it that way. It's a shame they aren't more clear about it since that may be the biggest barrier to entry (thinking the 90s stuff must be read first).

    Yeah as others have said: start from the 2012 beginning. First trade is called Remission. I recently found an issue of the 90ies series in a dollar bin and it's nothing like the current series. Not even remotely as interesting too. Since Brandon Graham & co took over it's been completely revamped, kinda just how Keatinge & Ross Campbell completely overhauled Glory in 2012 too.

    Supreme: Blue Rose. It's like the bestest guide for an adventure.

    of the ones I read...

    Saga and East of West are the best-crafted

    Zero is the most thought-provoking

    Chew has everything

    If I had to pick a single Precious? It'd have to be Saga. ...or Chew. Probably Saga. F it, Chew deserves my love. Chew it is.
    Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

    trade-waiting - Ice Cream Man, Monstress

    backlog - Blade of the Immortal, Mignolaverse, Promethea, X-Cutioner's Song

    LAZARUS is the book I look forward to most each month.

    It's so hard to choose though. As of now SUPREME might take the spot, I'm in awe of that book.
