I meant X-Force. 😮

But the last two issues of Uncanny post Fraction with Kieron Gillen have been good.

Ha, I knew it 😄

Agreed. Good thing Fraction's Era is over.

Seems to be a trend of Gillen being much better than Fraction.

Gillen left Thor and Fraction replaced him, and was far worse.

And now Gillen has replaced Fraction on Uncanny and his two issues have been pretty sweet, better than Fraction's.

In no paticular order

Oh, I forgot JSA. Marc's run has been great so far. I'll replace Teen Titans for JSA.

yeeeaaah Titans kind of suck now.

Really bad characterization.

Even the minnies are kind of horrible. Cassie's most recent... ick.

Krul?

JSA has been really lucky. It hasn't really been off since the original Crisis (before that I didn't follow them). I think part of it is that the characters are treated with more reverence (since it's the "throwback" Silver Agers and their descendants all hanging out together), and so the writers just write some good stories instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with gimmicks and events. Hell, the writer of the original Crisis admitted to being scared of killing off anyone that was "before his time" due to the legacy....I think that mentality leaked over, and it's been a good thing.

If you aren't reading Xombi, DO IT! IMO, it's the number 1 book out there. Only 2 issues in, but i love all the weird ideas and the atmosphere is great, just like Uncanny X-Force. I change my vote for Xombi being number 1, DC or Marvel.

I mean, you can't mess with Catholic Girl or Nun of the Above!

FF

Tie: GL (all 3 titles) and Secret Warriors.

Honorable mentions: Justice League: Generation Lost, Avengers (Original, New & Secret), Batman (Red Robin, Batman & Robin, Batman), Flash, Captain America.

In no particular order:

Fred Perry's Gold Digger
REBELS
JLA All-Stars (yes, All-Stars. It's surprising awesome)
IDW's D&D comic
Red Robin

And two of 'em are ending 🙁 So if I bump those two off, Secret Six and X-23.

I'm guessing they have to be ongoing not mini-series

in that case

Astonishing Thor
Uncanny X-Force
PunisherMAX
Wolverine
Wolverine: The Best There Is

I think JSA All-Stars is very hit and miss. Not very consistent. I'll give it stars, because it had some Hourman 1M cameos. What is D&D comic?

Dungeons & Dragons.

Oh, thanks. Didn't know they had a book of that.

There's been a lot over the years, but the current one from IDW is the most awesome. It doesn't even have it's first trade yet, but it's good.

It's written by John Rogers, formerly of Blue Beetle.

Looks interesting. What issue are they currently on? If it's too many, I'll probably pass.
