Most of the titles I own are from Image, Vertigo and Dark Horse. Anything over the past few years I guess. Been a minute since I've seen one of those COTM posts

It's an Image title. I just finished it. It was worth reading.

I mostly read trade paperbacks as opposed to graphic novels, but I read that one and it was solid.

East vs West (best series nobody talks about). Coming to an end soon but it's been a consistent breally fun ride. If you like dystopian fantasy or Saga

Paper Girls like lady led Stranger Things

I love Chew by Layman

The new Kick Ass focused on a Black lady taking up mantle and taking back good, I've enjoyed

Jason Aaron's run on Doctor Strange and everything that has come afterwards

Dan Slott's FF run just started and I'm digging their comeback to the 616

I can keep going....

Cause then I can recommend a lot.

Saga
Low
Gideon Falls
Oblivion Song
East and West
Manifest Destiny
Monstress
Paper Girls
Southern Bastards
Deadly Class
Giant Days

All of them except for Giant Days are Image titles. Giant Days is from Boom. It's more fluff but I really like the characters. It's light hearted and fun.

It's DC, but still feels like a companion piece to Vision. Both are among the best series I've read in years.

though it was a smart move! But Id love to see what he would do with more Marvel characters.

9. "My favorite current writer for creator-owned stuff is Si Spurrier"
In response to Reply # 0


          

books tend to mix genres together, works with a wide variety of artists that can affect the feel of a book enormously, and tends to write in six-issue complete stories (which I love). Apparently he's writing for Marvel now which is a bit of a disappointment, but if the libraries get any of his trades in I'll check them out. I'm more interested in his work on the Jim Henson properties though.

Of the creator-owned stuff:

I remember really liking the issues of Gutsville that came out, but that was over ten years back and was never finished.

Top pick: The Spire is high sci-fi/fantasy, a little dense but I loved it.

Second: Six-Gun Gorilla was the first of his more recent spate to get my attention, sci-fi Western with a talking gorilla who carries guns. MrHhood75's argument that talking primates can make any book better holds true.

Third: current book CODA, high fantasy political intrigue, sort of.

Also:

Weavers is a fantasy mobster noir.

Angelic is pretty much family-friendly dystopian sci-fi, genetically modified and technologically enhanced animals that survived humanity's last war. My tweens loved it. I thought it was very good.

Cry Havoc is fantasy/war. Good, and brutal.

Wild's End, aptly described as Wind in the Willows meets War of the Worlds. Outstanding.

Warren Ellis was hitting it out of the park with both The Injection and Trees. Unfortunately he ran out of steam on both and they stopped mid-arc.

As did Black Monday Murders. Hickman is maddening. I wish he'd stick to 6 or so issue arcs... his early stuff was so tight and his longer form has just been tough to stick with. Still should be some good trades available for several of his books.


I also am really enjoying Isola, another high fantasy book from Image. Writer is Brenden Fletcher.

All this reminds me I should be getting to the shop more often... have largely given it up over the past 9 months.At one point the shop called me because there was so much stuff in my pull file.
