Idk man, for me Saga is as good as it ever was. Lovin' it!

Well, this is where aesthetic preference kicks in!
I love the art, no question. The range of characters is definitely a strength and the story is well plotted. I mostly don't like the humor. I'm not much of a fan of the Giffen-esque humor that jumped into comics from his JL days and Saga has a lot of it. I'd prefer the story to be told a little straighter...but obviously just an IMO...
But, still, it's not like it's an awful book, far from it. The sub-plots are interesting...and Lying Cat is great...
The Walking Dead
Southern Bastards
Sex Criminals
Satellite Sam
My pull-list:
Invincible
Morning glories
The Walking dead
catching up here. I agree that Saga has lost something in this last arc. I'm not sure what, but it hasn't been that great for me recently.
East of West I think, is actually picking up steam. I'm more interested now than I've been since the start.
Monthlies
Bitch Planet
The Fade Out (May drop to trade waiting as the last issue reminded me of what frustrated me in Fatale too much)
Intersect
Lazarus
Ody-C
Pretty Deadly
Rat Queens (will probably change to trade after the next arc)
Rocket Girl
Velvet
Saga
Sex Criminals
Sinergy
Wicked + Divine
Velvet
In Trades
Chew
The Fuse
Great Pacific
Revival
Satellite Sam
Shutter
The Umbral
Wytches
Willing to try others, especially in trade form.

Best of the bunch is East of West.
Glad to see people reading Elephantmen - A consistently good book. Issue 59 was one of the best single issues of the year.
Remender's Low is amazing.

Wicked & Divine

Good idea for a thread!
- Lazarus
- Manifest Destiny
- Mind the Gap
- Peter Panzerfaust
- Saga
- Umbral
Still holding onto the thinnest of hopes that Mind the Gap will return at some point. It's really not looking good.
Updated:
I am trying the upcoming Red One in March and pre-ordered the Birthright trade, so I might have one or two more titles to add to my pull list as of April.
I think I'll wait for Velvet to be collected in order to come back to it. It's a great book and one of my favorite Brubaker titles ever, but I do not have the patience to wait on issues as they are released.
archer * magician *soldier * spy
