What comics are you not reading that are considered a must read?Why?

For myself,i am not reading swamp thing and animal man because i missed the initial issue and never got the time to catch on,

other than that,i dont read comics from image or dark horse but soon want to change that!

I hear good things about a lot of comics, but simply can't afford to buy them all. I imagine that'll be the case with a good few people.

Saga. I have the issues, I just haven't had the chance to have a good sit down with them yet.
Swamp Thing / Animal Man. Waiting for the TPBs.

Saga. Walking Dead. The All-New X-Men.

Walking Dead. I know it's everywhere and the trades are everywhere and easy to get but I don't really feel like reading it.

Invincible and TMNT.

Never got into Invincible and I read wayyyy too many comics as it is (about 100 separate titles a month).

nothing that I can think of....well I guess I've been hearing good stuff about the Valiant stuff but as of right now I'm not really interested in any of them...maybe some day I'll check them out

Walking Dead..I read TPB, and simply didn't like it. I rarely like stories involving the undead.

Walking Dead and TMNT

Walking Dead cause i dont like it, find it stupid. although I read Invincible which is also Kirkman's.

all of Vertigo stuff. a lot of indie titles, mainly Valiant stuff, which people say is good but it just doesn't look like it's something for me.

Batwoman and Batgirl

#14 Posted by SmashBrawler (3834 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

The Walking Dead too.

@Squalleon: Which Valiant title are you reading?

Walking Dead, Aquaman, all Valiant except X-O Manowar.

#17 Posted by Catsnlynne (372 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

For DC I would like to read the issues of Captain Atom, Deathstroke, and Grifter that I don't have, and for Marvel I would like to read the February issue of Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy.

I ordered the first volume (softcover) from X-O Manowar!

So nothing yet but i will start

A lot of disinterest/dislike for The Walking Dead. Wonder how much the TV show (and the property's subsequent explosion in popularity) had to do with that.

Damn shame. It's a great book.

Dunno why I haven't come around to picking up Saga.

Especially since I like BKV's work.... Shame on me.

#21 Posted by chalkshark (825 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

Swamp Thing. The Walking Dead.

#22 Posted by guttridgeb (4360 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

Valiant stuff and Daredevil. I'm not reading Saga and Walking Dead comics but I am waiting for the TPBs for those.

#23 Posted by SmashBrawler (3834 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

@Squalleon: Cool, that's one of the Valiant series I'm most interested in reading. I'm currently reading Bloodshot.

#24 Posted by The Stegman (13061 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

I've literally just started reading both The Walking Dead (gave up on my first try) and American Vampire, and loving them both.

I should start Invincible..but I don't wanna.

#25 Posted by chocobojam (288 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

The new Star Wars comics. I really love to read it but the art really disappoints me.

#26 Posted by xtremekidx (529 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio

#27 Posted by Alchemax_7 (347 posts) - 4 months, 12 days ago - Show Bio
