So what series is everyone following, which ones do you see being big given some time, and what are you reading digitally or in print?
Right now I've been reading through a lot 1992-1996 Image Comics: Spawn, WildC.A.T.S, Witchblade, and The Darkness. I'm loving The Darkness and wish I would've read it back then. It's harder getting into Witchblade which The Darkness' main protagonist first appeared. Spawn is Spawn. I originally started reading that shortly after the HBO series premiered. Haven't gotten around to WildC.A.T.S yet. I read the series back in the late 90s, but never got into it.
I'm also reading Saga which is pretty damn good.
From 2000 A.D/whatever, I'm reading Judge Dredd from 1977. Once you get to the Robot Wars story arc there's some weirdness in story that bothered me personally, but yeah. Dredd's maid/landlady was also written to have this bad, stereotypical Italian accent.
...like it's written out.
From DC I'm cutting through New 52. I've never been a big DC fan. Always felt that Batman was cool and had cool villains, liked reading the pure detective Batman who shot people from the 40s and 50s and the more modernized Batman from the 60s and onward. New 52 worked the same way Ultimate Marvel got me back into comics back in the mid 2000s. Unlike Ultimate Marvel there's less disdain for it I've noticed.
From New 52 I'm reading Action Comics and Superman. Enjoying both.
I have some Marvel to get around to as well.
Most of my manga reading is old stuff. Fist of the Northstar, Strain (from the old Pulp Magazine put out by Viz in the 90s!), Lone Wolf and Cub, and Urusei Yatsura. My girlfriend tells me she's tired of dude manga lol.
I want to get back to Usagi Yojimbo. I remember reading that as a kid and LOVED it. It was like...an accurate Ninja Turtles: appropriate time period and martial arts as opposed to the Turtles' martial arts vigilantism.
