Jupiter's Legacy is a classic super hero story.

 

Planetary is just stunning

 

Old Man Logan is the best Wolverine story I have read.

 

Planet Hulk never gets the respect it deserves.

 

 

Agree

Not Dead Yet and a few X-men issues would give it a run but it's up there.

Got to catch up. Glad to hear it has been good.

Paper GIrls

Black Hammer

 

Paper Girls doesn't get mentioned much relative to when it first came it but people are starting to pay for it occasionally on ebay.

[followtheleader]

I agree with Deadly Class. Every issue is so interesting. #25 was great.

 

Also agree with Dept H (aka Depth).

Under rated 'Monstress' by Image, as not published by Marvel or DC (Rebirth), written by a girl (Marjorie M. Liu) and drawn by a lady in Japan (not USA or Canada). Interesting art deco backgrounds and lush computer coloring and intricate illos.

The art is amazing. I never put a lot of thought into why something looks good but I know it when I see it.

As much as I absolutely love Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda (it's one of the two titles I have on CGC 9.8 sub with BeachBum/Dre), I'm not sure it qualifies as under rated. Liu/Takeda had good buzz from their X-23 run which carried over.

 

Sales for the Volume 1 TPB seem quite strong and issue #8 sold 18+K copies. While its sales may not be on par with Walking Dead, Saga or Brubaker/Phillips, that's pretty good for a creator owned comic.

 

But yes, the story and artwork are amazing. I have a co-worker who doesn't normally buy comics but was so amazed by the art that he bought my TPB on the spot when he saw me reading it during lunch. He's asked me to buy him a copy of new TPB volumes whenever I buy mine.

Kill or Be Killed, Black Science, Black Hammer...

Read Savage Things #1 today. Graphic violence but if that doesn't bother you, this is a very good introduction. The early pages are quite shocking imo.

[SquareChaos]

I read this recently too... I don't know, I feel like we've seen something like this too many times before.

And there were definitely some gruesome images in the beginning, you're right about that - a few of the panels wouldn't have been amiss in an Avatar book.

[the authority]

Yeah, now that you mention it, it did seem more Avatar than Vertigo. I'm in no way suggesting this for any spec value. I bought 1 copy. Just think it might be worth a read. Had a kind of over the top Secret Srvice feel to it. We shall see...

[SquareChaos]

Speaking of something else I read recently, Extremity looks like it might be worthy of some of the hype I've seen. The art is the main drawing point, but it seems reasonably well written too, though as far as the world building goes... too early to tell.

Black Science is still good? I gave up around around issue 8 or 9.

Edit: Also, how has Hillybilly reading? I've been waiting for a few issue to build up before diving in.

Letter #44. 

About 5 of us are reading it and it's still great.

I plan to pick this back up in trade. I greatly scaled back my pull list around eight months ago, but haven't really 'stopped' reading any of the books I stopped pulling.

Kill or Be Killed

The Wild Storm (ok fine, so it's only 1 issue so far, but it was amazing & I trust Warren Ellis)

Surprisingly enjoying Uncanny Avengers. It seems to be the long-form X-men story that's been missing since Remender left Uncanny X-Force.

I loved Issue #1, haven't been keeping up since issue 4 or 5.

Redline #1 from Oni was a very good 1st issue. Now I'm not suggesting that you should rush out and buy more than one but if you like to read the the occasional non superheroey type book, you might like this story. It isn't overly original but it looks fun.  Oni puts out Letter 44, which is liked by more than a few of us on these boards. They also put out Helheim a few years back which featured some extremely cool Joelle Jones artwork.
