Don't read Red Hulk. It's written by Jeph Loeb. Ugh... Unless you're in it for the art or are just a fan of... any version of Hulk, I dunno... Otherwise once you hit the con if you bring up Red Hulk, "They're all gonna laugh at you! They're all gonna laugh at you! They're all gonna laugh at you!" :rofl: The cliff notes? No one knows Red Hulk's true identity! That's all you need to know about Red Hulk, really. :looney:

Not for nothing but you read a lot of books already, you shouldn't have any trouble fitting in. You read All Star Superman so you're already ahead of the pack! :tup: Just don't be the guy that asks stupid crap like how did Civil War 2 end or thank Stan Lee for creating Venom. Yeah, stuff like that happened at the NY Comic Con, yeash...

Also check the Convention Thread when it gets closer to the date. Other SRKers will probably go and you might be able to meet some of them, if you haven't before. :smile:

Oh, read Batman RIP. That's bound to be a big subject at the con and one of the things you'll have spoiled for you if you are not up to speed. Ditto for Secret Invasion. If you are going to attend Marvel and DC panels at all, that is.

[Buz]

daredevil!

[ThyAllMighty]

Thanks Sano, I wish I could + rep you.

Yeah I thought Red Hulk would be good cause even though Ultimates sucked balls, Jeph usually does good work, and Ed McGuinnes is sick. Also, I am talking Ultimates off that list, I read the first one and god damn that series sucks, I know this has been said over and over but wtf Mark Millar you are letting Jeph slap your fucking baby.

Secret Invasion....meh, hahahaha, can I have a Cliff Notes on what happened so far in that? For some reason, it dosn't seem that hype to me, Skrulls are too cornball for me to be a threat.

[Sano]

Everyone's a Skrull or can potentially be a Skrull so you can't trust anyone in Marvel right now! That about sums it up in a spoiler free way I guess. :razzy:

Both New and Mighty Avengers go into SI so you'll probably learn a lot about it just by reading those 2 books actually, if you continue to do so.

[scum gale 88]

Ultimates....Ultimates....wasnt that the one where Captain America kicks the Hulk in the rocks and at the end Betty Ross gets all wet when Bruce was eating people as the Hulk? sick bitch.

*edit*
titles you should be reading? Little Nemo!

[ThyAllMighty]

What's Little Nemo?

Also, I don't read Mighty Avengers anymore cause fuckin Frank Cho went off...the ONLY REASON why I read that book in the first place.

[Sanchez]

THE WINTERMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!~!

Oh wait, it's on your list. In that case, check out The Middle Man for good old American fun.

[Cody Travers]

Don't read Red Hulk. It's written by Jeph Loeb. Ugh...

Just wait Leob is going to kill the hulk...bet it. :wonder:

[Dragon Punch]

Toss DMZ and Thunderbolts onto that list.

I don't understand why DMZ doesn't get much love around here. It's great imo.

The new Thunderbolts run is being written by Ellis...that's all you need to know.

[darksoul173]

Ellis is going to leave Thunderbolts for Astonishing x men

Oh yeah read Astonshing xmen too

edit: oops i see you're already reading it
so ill throw Morrison's Batman

[ThyAllMighty]

Thing about Thunderbolts is I don't know shit about them. My knowledge of Thunderbolts is this: They are a group of supervillians led once by Hawkeye and now Baron Zemo to do good stuff now. That is it, so will I be lost if I start on Ellis's run (what issue does it start at btw?)

Also, what title of Batman and what issue does Morrison start his run?

Batman #655 Batman & Son part 1

Well its about a group of supervillians working for the goverment and thier job is to catch non-reg superheroes their manager is Norman Osborn and he is the real star of the series

Ellis' run start in issue 109 if im not mistaken and i also picked it up from there

Batman start in 655 till 675 is the "road to" and in 676 is the start of Batman RIP

[ThyAllMighty]

Awesome, thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate it, I wish I could +rep you all.

For some reason, I always thought that Batman and Son was an elseworlds story...Batman having a son seems kinda nuts...like bad nuts.

[scum gale 88]

What's Little Nemo?

the greatest comic strip of all time, for reals.

fuck garfield.

My fellow followers of the Church of Bru, why have you forsaken this young wayward soul?!

Be healed my son!

Read Captain America and never, ever look back.

Start with the Omnibus and work from there, it'll be the best thing you ever do with your life.

Ever.

Winter Soldier is one arc, he needs the entirety. I could be picky and say it's the Winter Soldier one-shot, but I highly doubt that.

[darksoul173]

He wont stop reading after the first arc Cap is that good

[Are_you_okay?!]

He wont stop reading after the first arc Cap is that good

Just gotta be safe, like any good religion I have to shove this shit down his throat. Embrace it man :rofl:

[DS]

You guys misspelled Immortal Iron Fist like, 100 times.

[jaded]

War and Peace

[scum gale 88]

Immoral Fist sounds like a good read if you ask me

[ThyAllMighty]

yeah i dropped that book, i dunno why

i am friends w/ an old comic book artist that used to work for malibu comics and him and brubaker started up a small company that failed so at comic con 2 years ago, i met him and drank w/ him...for some reason even though i like his stuff, i did not geek out and ask him a million things about comics

[gabrielzero]

Glad to see Walking Dead on their.

:)

-Dardevil
-Loveless
-Lawless
-Fables ?
-Wintermen
-Red Hulk
-Ultimate X-Men (Kirkman) #66
-Ultimate FF (Jae Lee + Waid)

*have but not read yet


First Lee and Waid were never on Ultimate FF. Waid had a very good run on the regular FF but never on UFF. And I think Lee only did on UFF Annual with Millar. But UFF is a good book, Carey and Millar's runs are the best of the lot.

Next, I'd also recommend the following books...

The Immortal Iron Fist
Annihilation/Conquest/Nova/Guardian of the Galaxy
Criminal
Newuniversal
The Goon
Detective Comics (Paul Dini's run)
Batgirl (the Cassandra Cain volume. I know the second of the series that I read was dope.)
Manhunter (It don't suck)

[ThyAllMighty]

Oh yeah, I already read the Goon, I forgot to put that book in there it's great.

[Buz]

anything that has bru or millar on it

[darksoul173]

anything that has bru or millar on it

And Morrison

[Wellman]

Oh yeah, I already read the Goon, I forgot to put that book in there it's great.

True, some grand old shit goes on in those pages.

Oh yeah, look for some stuff by Jason Aaron (the recent Logan vs. Mystique arc in Wolverine and current Ghost Rider writer), Matt Fraction (The Order, Invincible Iron Man, tag teams with Brubaker on Iron Fist and about to hit Uncanny later on this year),
Joe Casey (Godland and WildCATS vol 2 and 3) and Dan Slott (She-Hulk, Avenger: Initiative, GLA and Amazing Spiderman).

[Pained Auron]

deadpool. you'll be a better person once you read it.

[eddymasta]

Daredevil ftw. So many jewels in that series.

[archetype]

Miracleman

[Vicioustale]

Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D

just because

[jon bones]

READ FABLES. ALL OF IT. NOW.


Also, some new series'

I'll start with the new Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturgis (of the glorious Fables and Jack of Fables, respectively) re-start of the horror anthology series House of Mystery. 5 people are stuck in Cain's House of Mystery (from Sandman) and to pass the time, they serve drinks to passing visitors. In exchange for drinks, they visitor's tell stories so each issue follows the larger arc as well as a mini one-shot horror story. It's only 3 issues in and it's fantastic so far. VERTIGO.

Mark Millar's Kick Ass is only 3 issues in but it's also great. Normal kid wants to put on a costume and fight crime... and realizes how absurdly tough it is.

Terrry Moore's Echo! The guy's done with his fantastic run on Strangers in Paradise and started this sci fi story. 4 issues in, great art, powerful character development.

[ToyRobotTerror]

Did i say Invinvible? If not Invincible

[Akutabi Gamma]

Wildstorm's Kev series-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kev_Hawkins

[ninchin]

Nice to see Justice(Alex ross) in there
but you should also read

- Immortal Iron fist
- Thor

some of the best writing marvel have put out this year:wgrin:

[Carpet Lint]

Bizarre how not a single person correctly spelled "FAAAAaAAAAABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111" correctly.

[nameingway]

don't say that, i'm a fan of any version of hulk and red hulk is the lamest thing out right now. oh well, at least skaar son of hulk is out. everyone should be reading that for your hulk fix.

[ThyAllMighty]

hulk sucks dick now, the bruce jones or whatever series was fucking great, everything afterwards sucked donkey dick

banner with richard corben was great too

damn richard corben is good

[Foleyeffect]

Hit up Runaways when you get a chance. It's teenage superhero's who find out their parents are supervillains. Its cool cause they actually act like teenagers and not the MTV bullshit.
