Gonna have to wait forever for it to come to my library which is a shame, It would be nice to actually enjoy something DC has put out since New 52 started up :/

Court of Owls is Fantastic, same with Batman Beyond from what I've heard. Harley Quinn is good, same with WW. So...That's 4 titles off of my head. TRY THEM

I have actually read court of owls and I'll agree that was pretty good. Also read the first or second ww trades and currently have the third floating around my house somewhere.

also the fact you can only think of four since the reboot is exactly what makes me so disappointed in DC :/

Off of my head. I haven't read most of the New 52

 

On this note, what does everyone think about the rumors that Time Runs Out will Reboot the Marvel Universe?

Its completely meh. Some of the new stuff is good but it's mostly been bad. Any comic that isn't part of the superman, batman or green lantern families is now cancelled in no time because the editors aren't letting the writers do crap. Then they also went and changed so many great characters to the point where they're practically unrecognizable. Different personality, different costumes (which aren't too bad i'll admit) and sometimes (in the case of Wally West) new races! Just for the lolz! Because why create new lack heroes to create a better balance when you could just turn a white hero black?

Wait, Wally is now Black? WHAT THE HECKSICLES DC. I'd be fine if it was akin to USM, but that's absurd.

I also mostly get my comics from the library, so it can be difficult to follow stories.

 

I recently jumped into Fables. I haven't played The Wolf Among Us, but I think I should soon.

 

I've really been wanting to read the end of Superior Spider-Man and the new Amazing Spider-Man.

 

Right now I'm reading Kingdom Come, enjoying it so far. I really like Alex Ross' art, I also loved his work on Marvels with Kurt Busiek.

Just got the end of superior spiderman about a week ago. Was a pretty good run overall, and I think the end did the series justice.

KingdomCome is Absolutely Fantastic in my mind. Perhaps one of my favourite Self Contained DC stories.(Others are probably Batman: the Killing Joke and Superman: Red Son)

Yeah, I'm loving it so far. I've heard great things about it and it's definitely living up to that hype.

Now that you mention it, I think this is one of the places DC has been hurt most. Because all the editors are so anal about the universe all being together and not having to retcon blah blah there are barely any more self contained comics. I mean some of the greatest DC runs are self contained, those you mentioned, Franks Miller's works were mentioned, there was the Hush series. Thins like that don't happen anymore because frink that, everything has to have continuity.. Yes, it was hard to follow the "true" storyline before, but even if a story turns out to "not really have happened" it was still good. It doesn't change the greatness for the story that was told.

 It's also incredibly frustrating in their trades. You pick up their trades now and you start a storyline, and right as it's about to climax, a little more than halfway through the book and then it just goes into some other storyline without wrapping up the previous one, because they decided to wrap it up in another series and not put it in the trade. Yeah, thanks.

That's why I personally like Scott Snyders Court of Owls Tradeback. It's the first half of a crossover event, but it doesn't feel incomplete. Sure, I'd like to know about what happened with Dick Grayson, but I don't NEED to know it to appreciate the story.

That's also why the Wonder Woman book was such a hit. Brian Azarello somehow managed to convince his editor o let him do his own thing and forget about everything else going on in DC and it turned out great. It's one of their view comics that all fans actually enjoyed.

I bought myself a Marvel Unlimited Subcription and have been reading all the comics I've been missing, such as most of Ultimate Spiderman.

I started with OG PP in the Ultimateverse. Feel the need to read everything tying into USM, though that's a bit of a task.
