Shazam: The Worlds Mightiest Mortal Volumes 1-2. Great looking standard sized hardbacks, I love a lot of these 70s hardback reprints, amazing art throughout, simple and sweet adventure stories, I love Kurt Shaffenberger’s Captain Marvel.

I'm currently switching between the three Klaus hardcovers and Once & Future book 1 deluxe edition. Either way, I get sweet Dan Mora art plus great writing.

Reading the 52 omnibus at the moment. Not sure I've actually read this since the trades first came out and I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
Jeff Smith's Tuki Vol. 1: Fight for Fire. Just finished it and can't wait to dive into Vol. 2.

It's growing on me. I'll let you know when I've read it.
I'm a tabletop RPG player so I was excited for the series. The art sadly isn't for me but I'm glad others have really enjoyed it.

I'm up through issue 7 and will likely finish it this week barring any interruptions.
As a MM fan I must say I'm currently not pleased with the crux of this story. I'm hoping the last 5 issues sort it out.

I'm referring to the level of moral and ethical grayness that Orlando has placed into J'onzz life on Mars as a Manhunter. Frankly to the point that saying "crooked cop" would apply. This is not a trait that we know our Manhunter by. He has long and forever been the Rock of the JLA. It's compass through iterations when Superman wasn't an active member.

Leonard Starr's On Stage
So much fun. The writing is very engaging for a comic strip written in the 50s. The art isn't as impressive as an Al Williamson or an Alex Raymond, but Starr's illustrations still have an elegance to them.
