My Favs

One of the questions I get asked on an almost daily basis is what comic books I read. I love to answer this question because it allows me to ramble on about comics, which I always enjoy doing. It's an ever evolving list; if you ask me in two weeks it may be completely different! Here are my current favorites for comic books, in alphabetical order:

GREEN LANTERN - I'm a huge Green Lantern fan, and the latest books in the family (Green LanternGreen Lantern CorpsGreen Lantern New Guardians, and Red Lanterns) are wonderful. The current arc "Wrath of the First Lantern" is enjoyable and has me hooked. With Robert Venditti and Justin Jordan (two of my favorite writers) taking over writing duties on GL and New Guardians, I'm very excited!

HAWKEYE - This is the one Marvel book that I anticipate each month. I love the art style, and the writing my Matt Fraction is spectacular- this book has a wonderful sense of humor. I love the fact that it seems outside the Avengers universe in a way... so far, you don't see Cap or Thor popping in. It's a book about a normal guy... who's REALLY good with a bow!

SAGA - I cannot say enough about this book. Every month I am giddy with anticipation for it's arrival in the shop. It is a spectacular book with amazing writing and art. The story flows and hooks you. If you are not reading this book, then you are not living properly!

STAR WARS - Yes, I know it's only two issues in... but it's STAR WARS! To make matters even better, it's set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, so it has the characters we know and love when they were wide-eyed rebels. Makes me feel 10 years old again when I read it! 

X-O MANOWAR - A personal favorite for years, X-O has always been one of my favorite books and Aric is one of my favorite characters. I read it in the 90's and love the new series going now. Anybody who knows me at all knows I am fanatical about Valiant Comics, and X-O is my fav.

There's my fab five. There are many other books I read which are wonderful as well: Doctor Who (IDW), Justice League of America (DC), Uncanny X-Men (Marvel), Harbinger (Valiant), The Answer (Dark Horse), Revival (Image),  Game of Thrones (Dynamite), and many more! Don't be afraid to try something new... you never know what you'll fall in love with!
