Behind on my reading...but here we go (in no particular order):
American Vampire - Just a great book all the way around, and I am not that big of a fan of Vampires.
The Walking Dead - The best book I read at the moment probably. The first one I want to read when I get a new issue anyway.
Chew - Funny, twisted and the best book that not enough people are reading.
Green Hornet: Year One - Remember that movie that came out with Seth Rogan...this is nothing like that. This is unbelievably good. Need to catch up though.
Alpha Flight - Actually enjoying the hell out of this book and looking forward to it more than any other 'hero' book out there right now. Who would have thunk.

Yay another alpha flight fan. I'm a long time AF follower and have stuck with them through thick and thin. It is the only other group that recieved thier own photomanip gallery on my site (of course the Legion has 5 unique galleries!)
My list in no particular order:
Alpha Flight Legion of Superheroes Walking Dead GI Joe Lenore (though this one is kinda spotty on being published regularly)

quote:Originally posted by DrakeB3004: Hmm... I think I'm going to have a hard time thinking of 5 titles that I really like. let's see: - Green Lantern: Always a big fan of Hal, Johns's stories aren't my favorite, but they are big and feel important to the mythos. - Moon Knight: I'm listing this mostly because I'm a fan of the character. I'm not really taken by Bendis's interpretation and I find Maleev's art attractive, but the photoreferencing makes people look too stiff. - Hmmm.... Ok, I give up already. Everything else I'm currently buying is just kinda ... eh
Drake, may I recommend:
quote:Originally posted by Lard Lad: Walking Dead: Still there and the only book I read as soon as it comes out! Totally addicted to it and all its twist and turns.
Scalped: Such a great, great saga with compelling characters that live, breathe and constantly surprise you.
American Vampire: It was tempting to put Snyder's run on Detective here instead, but this is where he lets loose with his own characters! Snyder is the next big writer in comics. He's not much of a secret anymore, but if you try AmVamp out, I'm sure you'll see his rep is deserved!
Morning Glories: Before Scott Snyder was Nick Spencer. MG is an addicting mystery full of unexpected twists and turns. It's the comics equivalent of Lost with its layered mysteries. Like Lost, it's the characters that keep you coming back for more!
Chew: Awesome, twisted and, yes, funny comic book set in a world where chicken has been outlawed. John Layman & Rob Guilloroy may be the best writer/artist team in comics right now, for my money!

Uh oh. I made a mistake spending too much time here in Gym'll's. I'm starting to think about checking out some of these books I've never considered before. Publishers should pay you guys.

There are two on Lardy's list that I do not read at this point...but would feel completely safe in picking them up, and will at some point (in trades). He and Cobie will not steer you wrong.

Soon enough. I'm enjoying the hell out of the Dynamite stuff I am getting right now, and Planet of the Apes from Book.

I picked up American Vampire #10 today. It was the earliest issue they had at the shop. I only got it because you guys--even vampire non-fans like me--laud it so much. I liked the story and art except for the vampire parts. I'll have to give it another read to see if I wanna pick up more.
I'm liking Kirby Genesis a lot.
