Pulled this off of the shelf this morning.
Some great stories and beautiful art.

I am currently reading Grant Morrison's Batman V1 Omnibus.
It's enjoyable, but not great. At least it's not as weird and hard to follow as some of the things I've read by him.
Prelude/War of Kings/Aftermath Omnis: This was my first time reading most of this with the exception being the Guardians of the Galaxy issues. I loved this from start to finish, all three omnis! Exciting, well thought out, and massive in scope. Art is pretty good throughout. As a side note, I've read very little with the Inhumans in the past. This run made me a fan. I do have a lingering question, more out of curiosity, if anybody can answer. Where and how does Black Bolt ultimately return?
Reborn OHC: Bought this OHC for 60% off from the IST clearance deals. The afterlife/fantasy story is ok. Not bad, nothing amazing either. Sort of par for the course with these 6 issue Mark Millar stories. It's nice to see some Capullo art outside of the DC universe.
Redneck V1 TPB: Another one I got for 70% off from the IST deal. This is the first thing I've read by Donnie Cates. Seems like I've been hearing his name a lot lately. Vampire stories are usually not something in my wheelhouse, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. I'll definitely get the second volume next time I place an order, maybe along with something else by Cates. Anybody have any other recommendations of something by him?
Just finished the Daredevil by Miller/Janson omnibus and it was really great. Did not expect it to be this good, especially because it is quite an old run. Some things were dated, sure, but overall it was very modern.
Liked it so much I immediately moved on to the Companion omnibus.
Absolute Blackest Night, not really digging it, Geoff Johns has always been more miss that hit for me, he has a lot going on in his stories, maybe too much, and the characters just seem somehow lost, maybe I’m just not a fan of big company wide stories, I think this maybe going on the selling pile
I ended up giving up on Monstress half way through the first trade. I just don't think it's for me, so I'll be selling that one.
After catching up on a huge pile of monthlies, I'm now reading the Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin TPB.
Pull List: Daredevil, Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, No One, Time Before Time
“We never lose our demons. We only learn to live above them"
I finished the Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin TPB earlier. I quite liked it. To carry on the Star Wars kick I'm on at the moment, I'm re-reading my Star Wars Volume 1 OHC in preparation for volume 2, which is on it's way to me.
Pull List: Daredevil, Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, No One, Time Before Time
“We never lose our demons. We only learn to live above them"
Just finished Avengers by Hickman Omnibus Vol. 2. Now, there is only Secret Wars.....
One of my favorite Spider-Man stories by two of my favorite Spider-Man story tellers. Len Wein and Ross Andru.
Spider-Man: A New Goblin

I'm now reading Shipwreck from Aftershock comics. I read the first few issues in floppy format but I've got no idea how it ends.
Pull List: Daredevil, Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, No One, Time Before Time
“We never lose our demons. We only learn to live above them"
Reading my Justice League International Omnibus. This is the first DC series I started buying regularly in my teens. Such a fun book. One of my all-time favorites.
