Both this and Scion are destined to get the Crossgen axe when they implode later this year, due to poor business practices - Thanks, guys

I had hoped their runs had just ended... but I knew better when I saw the firing too. I have all their comics well except for their James Bond want to be but I thinking I'm about done with adding their titles.

El Cazador is also amazing though.

Very few comics interest me anymore because of either the bad art or unimaginative stories. Two comics that have caught my eye as of late are New X-Men (I thought #150 was good and 151-152 have provein interesting) and Silver Surfer. The new Silver Surfer title has a very strong "there's a lot more going on than you know" feeling and the best comparison I can make to it is an M Night Shambaylan (spelling?) movie. It has me intrigued. The Batman/Superman comic is also interesting, but I'm waiting for the trade paperback on that one.

This is a great thread for me, 'cause I just started picking up some books for the first time in years too:

Planetary -- just started this; cool idea, great story flow.

PvP Scott Kurtz's webcomic ( www.pvponline.com ) turned comic. Hysterical!

Cerebus I'm catching up on the last few TBPs. This venerable series ends in a couple months with issue 300 -- something the artist planned from nearly the start.

Knights of the Dinner Table still funny as ever.

The Clock Maker This series got flack for going with 12-page, tabloid-sized issues in its first four issues, but I loved the storyline and the boldness of the art played very well in large format.

I really liked With an Iron Fist, the storyline that posits Iron Man as president og a corrupt "one-world government" and the Weapon X Team aiding him against the Inhumans.

Who's writing it?

TPB's of completed series' to look into: Midnight Nation by JMS; Batman the Long Halloween, Spider-man Blue, Daredevil Yellow all by Loeb and Sale; Marvels by Busiek.

How on Earth did I forget Preacher?
