Whats the best read you have had this yr?

Infinity has been amazing so far.

Infinity wins. No other arc compares. Jonathan Hickman is a magician. I cannot wait for the conclusion to this epic story.

Indestructible Hulk.

In no particular order...

Thor: God of Thunder (particularly the Gorr-arc)
Trinity War
Phantom Stranger
Justice League Dark
Green Arrow (everything after issue #16)

Throne of Atlantis
Aquaman
Trinity War
Thor God of Thunder
Justice League Dark / Phantom Stranger / Constantine (the whole magic side of DC has been really good)

Neither Infinity nor Forever Evil are done, so no opinion there yet.

God Butcher/Godbomb by far
Infinity so far...
Wonder Woman (First Born stuff)
Hawkeye
Superman Unchained so far...
Uncanny Avengers (Apocalypse Twins stuff)

Superman unchained has been good so far. Wonder why the issues release date are so far apart.

Beats me.

I think it easily outclasses all the other Superman titles.

Superman Unchained is mega boring. Throne of Atlantis and Trinity War FTW. I've been missing some EPIC mystic arcs and this fills my needs.

Forever Evil is also becoming one of my favorite mega crossovers in a LONG time. Hopefully it keeps up. Nice character interaction, mystery, and action.

Gorr arc has also been in my top 5.

Damn FORGOT Green Arrow. Easily one of the best books on the stands. Phantom Stranger as well. First Born (WW) is also up there.

Huh? Can't be serious.

TOA is good, I agree and Trinity is good as well. I hate Justice League Dark...only liked one issue so far.

I am serious. It's not horrible or anything, but it's not spectacular, either. I love DC's mystical side, so JLD ftw. Can't wait until the new team forms. Zauriel, Swamp Thing, Pandora, possibly Etrigan and Phantom Stranger? It's going to be a MASSIVE team.

Zauriel and Etrigan should be interesting.

In my opinion, though, JLD is easily one of DC's best books.

Since this is Carter's thread, and nobody really cares about his feelings, and since most people now are saying the same things, and since this is in the wrong forum anyways, I'm gonna go ahead a hijack this thread and tack on another tougher follow-up question.

What are the best individual issues released this year?

Thor: GoT #11
GL #20
Swamp Thing #23.1: Anton Arcane
Justice League #23
Phantom Stranger #10
JLD #23
Green Arrow #24


I was going to add some Indie stuff to my list, but hardly anyone here would know wtf I was talking about. ermm

JLD seem to focus more on Swamp Thing and I don't like the character. Frankenstein is amazing though.

Flash has some amazing speed fts as well

Throne of Atlantis had a great start and middle, but a weak ending.

Infinity has been all right so far.

Superman Unchained is, like the rest of the Superman books, kinda meh atm. It's okay, just not great.

I was really impressed with Trinity War (partially because of low expectations), but the evil stuff has been mixed so far.

Indestructible Hulk has been solid; Mark Waid can't go wrong.

http://s1143.photobucket.com/albums/n638/carver9/?action=view&current=snapshot10_zps2084615a.jpg There was only a few issues of JLD that even featured Swamp Thing-- aside from those issues, he hasn't been involved in the book at all. And yes, Frankenstein is awesome-- his DCnU incarnation is beastly.

Swamp Thing was only in a handful of issues, bro!

I know...he was in the later issues...issue 19, 20, and 21. I stopped reading it after that...stopped at issue 22 where an infected Superman broke lose.

Thor God of Thunder is the best of the best or one of the best from beginning to end.
Constantine I have been good what I been hearing
Trinity
Infinity getting their
Indestructible Hulk solid
Captain America

Single issues.

Justice League 16 (Throne of Atlantis - Reis on art pawns everything)
Justice League 22-23 (Trinity War - Reis again does blockbuster better than anyone else)
Aquaman 21 (Dead King arc)
Thor God of Thunder 9,10,11
Phantom Stranger 10
Suicide Squad 22

Phantom Stranger has been gold under JM Dematteis. He gets mystic realm and I'm definitely looking forward to the Blight arc.

Omg you guys reminded me I completely forgot about Thor God of thunder with the Gorr story arc. It was phenomenal all the way through and the ending was epic. I have to disclose, I always thought Thor was cool but he was never a character I truly cared for. This storyline has made me grow a new found respect for the character. The amount of punishment and pain that he had to endure when facing a foe who's sole purpose was to eradicate skyfathers. For me the one moment that made me become a fan of Thor was when modern Thor felt hopeless and felt that all was lost, then he said the bomb cannot be stopped what do we do. Then all-father thor replied. "Your Thor, you hit it with hammers..." Then he proceeded to dual-wield 2 mjolnirs. Lol I officially marked out at that moment. This arc was a textbook example of what can be done with a character if written in a delicate cohesive manner. I now look forward to more of Third journeys in the near future.

My pick.

Wonder how many other superfans feel this way. I'm one that agrees with you on this.


To me, God of Thunder with gorr was the best story by far.

Also can anyone inform me if Indestructible Hulk is worth picking up? Carver appears to like it. As a child Hulk was my favorite hero of all time, but I unfortunately grew out of love with the character. I was hoping that this title may revitalize that fire again.

Waid is focused more on fts than story telling. If you are looking for fts, that's the book to pick up, if you are looking for something great to read, that aint it.

As someone who absolutely hated the majority of Pak's work on Hulk, I can tell you that it made me love Hulk's books again.

My pick.



Thor byfar was the best; especially issue 10 the 3 Thor's vs Gorr was phucking epic.

Imagine if Thor had gained possession of the Necro-Sword and the extra Mjolnir.

The Living Tribunal Stark found would have had two hammer shaped holes in his head instead.

Best story? Hmm, I'd give it to Wonder Woman.

Infinity is pretty good but the build up was far too slow and thus comes in second.

God of Thunder is probably third.

Wonder Woman 23. Blows all others away.

I did. They are alright. I guess I'm not into the mystic stuff. Ill probably give it another try.

Heh bet she does

There's this comic I read about two warring aliens falling in love and having a baby

they have a ghost baby sitter and a tree spaceship and a murderous TV/computer headed prince and a beast off a Merc after them

There is magic and science and it is thoroughly awesome but I can't remember the name

It's called Saga.

suprisingly, thor: god and thunder...
and trinity war

Is there a TPB of this Thor story? If everyone thinks it's that good, I should give it a try.

What about from other companies? Saga and luthet strode ftw.

Thor: God of Thunder.

Wonder Woman.

That's it.

Been disappointed with Waid's Indestructible Hulk, in some respects it's a step up from the "madcap" Aaron stuff, but too much action and not enough Banner/S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff. Had some promise.

Infinity is looking like it's about to fold completely too. The Builders were pretty crap as uber-villains, now they're exposed as the gooey creatures they are, watch as Captain America presents destroys them all single-handedly.

Oh and somewhere in there, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, Spiderwoman is going to get to foist more and more of her mental "issues" upon us.

Damn I'm gonna have to buy that! I can't wait!

I was a bit disappointed with Trinity Wars. I felt as though the horizon to expand upon the storyline of the Trinity of sin was vast and could have been explored on many more depths. It just left me with more to desire I suppose. Also due to the fact that this event was just the build up to another, in contrast to Age of Ultron. However forever evil is rather interesting, and I am looking forward to where this is going.

He agrees like likes Thor stories this year over Superman's.

The first TPB collects issues #1-5. The second TPB(released this past Wednesday) collects issues #6-11. They cover the entire Gorr affair.

will order it.^^

It'll be money well spent. A comic series honestly cannot get much better than that arc of God of Thunder. The plot, artwork, coloring, dialogue, etc. are all superb.



And I'm not even a Thor fan, so that should tell you a lot.

I was thinking that this would be a good idea

They basically go through every arc/(maybe comic? If that isn't too long) redraw it get the actors who are playing the parts in the movies and just do a cartoon series like that sorta
