I collect GA and SA so im not too familiar with modern comics.

Any good trades or runs to catch up on?'

I dont know where to start with most Marvel comics that were printed after the 70's.

Ive been reading Saga and Fables and im really enjoy them both.

What are some other good titles/reads I should check out?

Walking dead Vol. 22 (issues 127 - 132)

Hinterkind vol. 1 (issues 1-6)

the Massive vol. 3 (issues 13 - 18)

Super Crooks 1-4

Revival Vol. 3 (issues 13 - 18)

The Secret TPB (issues 1-7)

Nameless #1

Star Wars (2015) #2

Notes: Hinterkind has a good concept and good writing, but the art is a turn-off for my personal taste. I actually think it would make better TV show than a comic

The new Marvel Star Wars has been a fun read so far.

I'd second these and the Hawkeye that Slym mentioned. Thor: God of Thunder 1-12 by Aaron and Batman by Snyder are two other good super-hero books. Other recommendations:

 

Mind MGMT

The Bunker

Southern Bastards

Chew

 

I'm reading the 2nd The Boys TPB now & I'm enjoying it so far.

What did you think of Secret? I'm guessing you read the one by Hickman?

Yes, it was Hickman's Secret. I thought it was a great concept and the story started strong, but felt like if JH had handled things a little differently, it would have been a stronger story overall.

 

For example:

 

having the computer hacker use your work computer to spy on your boss? If you work for an organization that uses information the way this company did, the main character (can't remember his name) should have known better. That could have been handled differently & gotten the same result

 

 

I thought the art was good, but I expected more from Hickman - 3.5 stars

I read the first 3 issues but I don't think I'll finish it. I thought it was OK but not enough interesting moments. I felt after 3 issues there were still too many unanswered questions unless I missed them. Maybe I'll give #4 a shot.
