Well then.
1. Runaways
2. Thor
3. GLC
It's surprisingly disappointing.
So I've heard...
I'm just looking to get my yearly dosage of Ronan.
Is it worth it in that regard?

no, they're pretty seperate in general... its a nice read if you're into the characters, the current arc is about the two of them trying to get rid of all the kryptonite in the world...

I want to say yes, but....
It has plenty of horribly boring lesbian bitchin and new ridiculously lame Adam Warlock.

Countdown. It's awesome so far and I started to read FF4 again and of course Thor is on my fav list too. But Countdown is the number one yet.

Some cool titles in here, I love Green Arrow and Black Canary so far, it's such a fun romp and Booster Gold is fantastic.
I haven't picked up the latest Thor, I'm painstakingly waiting for the first trade, is it any good so far?
I also noticed there isn't Cap in your list, for shame pr, it's, IMO, the best title out at the moment

thor is great, it really is.

Lol... thats exacly why i don't read it either.
I think people underestimate how important art is to actually telling a story. Yes, the writing/plot is important, but the art is what makes us visualize whats going on, and if thats looks like crap it really takes away from books appeal.

I thought Coipel's art for Thor looked great, I'm so annoyed I haven't got the single issues, but the trade'll be worth it
Daredevil is consistently good, it's never been my favourite read of all but it's enjoyable to watch Brubaker put Murdock through hell
As far Cap, haven't you heard the news? He's back with new costume and a new person underneath that mask, this is definitely the one to be reading.
i've heard the news, but unless its steve rogers, its just not good enough...

Oh I agree 100 percent. Conquest is tanking. The problem is theres no story. Its just cosmic heroes vs Ultron and the phalanx. Ultron has no plan, just assimilate everyone, I've heard that story before. Annihlus had a plan in annihilation, conquest is just "Heroes vs Phalanx" for about 4 issues now.
My monthly favorites now are
Thor
Gl
Simon Dark
Ultimate Spiderman
Spawn
Darkness
Evil Dead
Captain America

Here is an update on my recent reads
So i picked up a couple Superman/Batman paperbacks (Supergirl arc & another Darkseid arc) just to get a feel for the stories and writers... then I picked up the series on issue # 44 where Bats and Supes start collecting all the K-Nite on earth.
To make a long story short, Bats/Supes has a new montly subscriber to it's title.

No particular order, except for the 'number one' spot which has to go to Danny Rand, the Immortal Iron Fist.
