Yeah we both had the same idea twice... I blame the paint fumes in the house.

anyways.

Peyton is buying these that I'll read (he buys a bunch of other stuff too but I wouldn't touch it)

Mouse guard - I love, it's so cute!

Nextwave - Warren Ellis makes comic book crack.

Detective comics batman - um, the starman guy is on it which is why I gave it a try. Not hugely a DC person.

I'm suposed to read

Wraithborn but I keep forgetting
Y the Last man
Young Avengers
Runaways (is that even still going... see, I'm behind)

OK. The list is quite long... I've done my best to break it into sensible groups

The Ultimates - Felt this died a bit last issue, but prior to that the build up had been phenomenal.
Ultimate Hulk/Wolverine - Really great story and Yu is doing wonderful work on the art.

All Star Superman - Morrison based genius.
All Star Batman & Robin - never read batman before so had no preconceptions. It's entertaining if nothing else.
Seven Soldiers - Morrsion based ?!!!. Not sure i really get this. I'm hoping it all comes together in the end...

Testament - liking this. Has some nice ideas in it and Liam's art is looking good.
100 Bullets - in trade. Brilliant conspiracy, plot within plot thing.
Y the Last Man - in trade. Consistently great writing. The art i can take or leave but it suits the book.
DMZ - love it. Great concept and well executed by Wood.
Lovelss - really not sure about this. Seems a bit slow. I'll give it another 3 issues i think.
Neverwhere - Good adaptation of an OK book. Making this...OK. But rather sporadic in release lately.

Ex Machina - This has good arcs and bad arcs. But overall I think the chracters have found there feet, as has Vaughan. I like the art here better than Y.
American Way - one issue in. the concept isn't exactly new. The execution was average. We'll see where it goes first few issues. Don't really see it as a keeper.
Team Zero - nice WS war story.
Captain Atom: Armageddon - For someone familiar with the WS universe this has been an unnecessary tour. Hopefully it will go somewhere now all the pieces are on the table.
Wildcats Nemesis - For all the crap thrown at this I really like it. Its got the classic fun wildcats vibe.
The Winter Men - really liked this russian mob/spy consipircay but my god is it late being released.
Planetary - when it comes out
Desolation Jones - Ellis doing ellis things.

Cable/Deadpool - love cable, don't mind deadpool. This started well but seems to be petering out as the ideas are just drained.
X-men - bought Milligans apocalypse issues, but try as i might i just can't find much good about them bar Larocca's art.
Astonishing X-men - x-men how it should be.
Son of M - this got much better the 2nd and 3rd issues. Actually want to know what happens now.
The 198 - district x moves to the mansion. I'm unconvinced.
X-factor - as good as Astonishing but for different reasons. Love PADs writing. Just hope they find a good artist to replace Sook.
Deadly Genesis - Not as good as one would hope. I feel Bru does better with individuals than teams. Hopefully he can prove me wrong on Uncanny. His Authority picked up toward the end i felt.
Wolverine - was buying the Millar issues and stayed on board. Kind of wish i hadn't. The origins endings arc has been pap. Will see if either the new Ramos kick splode wolverine or the other MK serious wolverine is better.

Captain America - Brubaker makes me want to read Captain America. There can be no higher praise.
Iron Man - Brilliant book and the art is phenomenal but the delays hinder the story somewhat.
Iron Man the Casey one - is good. Like Casey's take on industrial espionage.
New Avengers - I actually like this. The Ronin arc was a copmplete waste of time, but other than that I think it's been pretty well done.
Spider Woman origin - bought the first couple of issues for the Luna Bro art. Not worth it.
Fury: Peacemaker - umm its a war story. With fury. Can't say much more after only 1 issue.
Hyperion - great writing. I found the art OK funnily enough. Will be happy when we're back to Frank with Squadron Supreme though.
Nextwave - best new comic so far this year. Love everything about it.

NYC Mech - realy liked the idea of a robot new york and the stories set here are well told and beautifully drawn.
Fear Agent - Remender does B movies sci fi in comic form and does it well. Just not really for me.
Fell - great stuff.
Girls - started well. Best go somewhere soon cos i'm getting bored.
Godland - ditto
Strange Girl - nice idea from Remender and well written. Art is a nice bonus.
Down - quality undercover cop stuff from Ellis
Battle Pope - just can't help loving this.

All the Star Wars titles - Darkhorse maintains a fairly high level of writing and artistic quality on these books. Only empire is a bit crappy at points.

Local - Brian Wood works genius. Particulalry lik ethe writer artist comments and soundtracks at the end each issue.
Supermarket - Wood hits the bullseye again. He can do no wrong for me recently.
Black Gas - Ellis + zombies = fun


Think that's it. Christ I hope so anyway...

In deed there is
How could I forget
Powers - hello again Bendis
Loveless - I'm enjoying this more than Jonah Hex (which I ahve accidentally dropped)
Down - morally dubious but ok I guess
Testament - liked #1 but not sold on #2 - I liek LiamSharp tho so may kee p it going.


In trades

Lucifer
The Losers
Ultimate FF
The Walking Dead

I seem to have stopped buying TPBs of
Ult Spiderman
Ultimate X-Men
without noticing so will stick with that subliminal idea.

I didn't enjoy Invincible (HC) enough to persevere with further trades so that should save me a bob or two as well

Yup.

Latest issue just came out.

Seven Soldiers – Like what Morrison is trying to do, every mini is great.
The Ultimates – It’s Hitch. Have my money.
Ultimate Fantastic Four – Millar’s mad ideas are the best run on this so far.
Ultimate Spider-Man – Has it’s ups and downs, excellent when on form.
Ultimate X-Men – Kirkman is a breath of fresh air after Vaughn
Ultimate Hulk/Wolverine – Looks and reads great so far.
Ultimate Extinction – Peterson is doing nice stuff here.
Transformers – IDW – My guilty pleasure book. Always badly written.
Infinite Crisis – Nearly there, my inner-geek is enjoying this.
52 – Massive DC geek, impressed they are letting Dan Jurgens do the History section.
Punisher – Ennis should write this until it is prised from his cold, dead hands.
Batman/Detective Comics – All hail Robinson. And hopefully Morrison.
All-Star Superman – Issue 3 was brilliant, Vincent is doing a top job.
All-Star Batman – Batman on crack, funniest thing I’ve read in years.
JSA – Not too convinced by Levitz at the moment.

Runaways – A very enjoyable book
Nextwave – Crazy. This is so much fun.
Squadron Supreme – Gary Frank is amazing, I have high hopes for this.
Astonishing X-Men – Whedon/Cassady. Gimme.
