I'm also gonna give a shout out to Last God, the art is gorgeous and the premise is intriguing.
It's a pretty good read. It came off with a Spartacus meets Game of Thrones feel.
You should also give Monster Planet a go. It surprised me to find that Zenescope is putting out some quality work.

Hickman's X-Men. Started off as like a 6 for me, quickly jumped to a 9 or 10, but now it's at a tentative 7. There are some characterisation issues that really bother me, but I'm hoping it leads to a "something shady was happening the whole time" resolution.

What characterization issues get your foreskin in a twist?
Xavier and most of the "main" X-Men. Magneto is decent. Sinister was ****ing weird, though.

As much as I might agree that X-Men as a franchise desperately needed a shake-up, I don't like it if it's at the expense of what are already heavily developed characters.
Plus, this is Marvel's fault in the first place for trying to bury them to spite Fox.
DCeased was a fun romp. I laughed the whole way thru
Punisher Kill Crew is also awesome.
Nightwing is terrible. The power ranger Nightwings and the fact that Batman and co are letting him just be amnesiac is awful writing
Caps ongoing is also terrible and they are dragging him thru the mud. Avengers ongoing is terrible, they need to stop putting GR in books.
Valkyrie started off ok but jobbing out Bullseye and Strange was unnecessary.
Savage Avengers is awesome.
Invisible Woman's ongoing is Marvel's best kept secret and a great depiction of Sue.
Contagion was terrible.
Year One Villians was lame
Strange had a universal feat and it was super meh, he also had a OMD type demon deal that irked me. His last issue was good and more down to Earth.
