I was feeling very crime noir; so I read Brubaker & Rucka's Batman and 'Tec run along with Gotham Central. Hot damn I always forget how good they are together.
The pulp in these stories were amazing and I wish they would revisit Gotham Central in a DC Black Label title.
But no I am on a Brubaker kick and I am going to start his X-Men run since I never read it before.
Despite my current streak of not caring for superhero comics, I've just read the Super sons omnibus.
Probably gonna end up selling it but it was actually pretty fun.
I think I'm just sick of the cyclical nature of DC and MArvel at this point and that nothing matters, I wish this could've been a standalone universe, kinda like Invincible, but if you are into DC it's actually a good read with mostly good art and it's very all ages without being too childish.
I've started reading BONE: Full Color One Volume Edition HC. The art and colours are very simple but very nice to look at in particular some of the facial expressions. The story isn't amazing but every evening I look forward to reading it and there's quite a bit of story building taking place.
Still slowly getting through Revival, and picked up Vol. 4 - 6 of the Invincible Ultimate Collection so I can continue where I left off.
Finished the New 52 Justice League run with the Darkseid War Omnibus, which was really great. Cool story that was very creative compared to the rest of the run, wouldn't have expected something like that at the end. Awesome art by Manapul and Fabok and also by the stand-ins. After that I read Paper Girls Deluxes 1 and 2 and now really want to read 3.
Now onto the Punisher Max by ENnis. Read volume 1 and now halfway through volume 2. Very good run, Marvel should have these Max runs more often.
Bit of warning: if you own these omnibuses and have not opened them up, consider doing so as my volume 2 has really shitty binding which is coming apart. This will require quite some repair work
Just finished Conan Chronicles Epic Collection: Out of Darksome Hills. Really enjoyed it. Now starting up Conan: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol 1.
American Vampire omnibus, enjoying it despite the art (which I’m not digging)
Absolutely read the Bendis run before jumping into Brubaker's. Bendis upends the status-quo and Brubaker picks up immediately afterward.Thanks for the heads up.......was wondering if it was worth a look. I was a huge Bendis fan before he became stretched thin at Marvel.
