From the boards...

So, John (aka rogueleader2448 on our forum) asked an interesting question:  What comics do we read?  

I know I've talked about it a bit on the show, but that was hardly a comprehensive list.  I'm doing you all a disservice with that little bit of auditory teasing.  So, here it is...a list, in alphabetical order, of what I read every month (no links to the Wiki because seriously, that's a lot of work) with a little synopsis if I can do it briefly.

  • 100 Bullets - What would you do with 100 untraceable bullets?
  • Action Comics - Superman's home book
  • Amazing Spider-Man
  • Avengers: The Initiative - The adventures of up-and-coming heroes.
  • Batman
  • The Outsiders - A special team Batman put together to take care of the things the JLA can't/won't.  A little more proactive.
  • The Brave and the Bold - Team-ups in the DCU you never thought you'd see!
  • Cable - Former leader of X-Force jumping through time, Lone Wolf and Cup style.
  • Captain America
  • Captain Britain and the MI13 - Britain's superhero team, focusing more on the occult.
  • Criminal - Wiki this one.  I can't describe it well enough.
  • Daredevil
  • Dark Avengers - *spoiler* After Secret Invasion, Norman Osbourne is given the keys to the kingdom.  First job?  Make his own Avengers team...
  • Deadpool
  • Detective Comics - Batman's home book.
  • Doktor Sleepless - Warren Ellis.  I'm not going to say any more.
  • Ex Machina - Former superhero-turned public servant.  Politics has never been better
  • Fables - Imagine all those stories you read growing up were actually real.  And now they live in our world.
  • Fantastic Four
  • Green Arrow / Black Canary - Olliver Queen and Dinah Lance kicking ass and taking names.
  • Green Lantern
  • Green Lantern Corps
  • Hellboy
  • House of Mystery
  • Immortal Iron Fist - Was really surprised at how much I liked this book.
  • Incognito - A supervillain in witness protection gets his powers back.
  • Invincible - A really good teen-age superhero story.
  • Iron Man
  • Jonah Hex
  • JLA
  • JSA
  • Northlanders - It's about dirty, violent, cursing Vikings.
  • Runaways - Group of kids learn their parents are supervillains, so they...
  • Superman
  • Superman / Batman
  • Teen Titans
  • The Boys - A realistic look at what superheroes would really be like, and the people forced to deal with them.
  • The Dark Tower
  • The Flash
  • The New Avengers - Taking down Norman Osbourne, one wacko at a time.
  • The Spirit - Much better than the movie.  Promise.
  • The Walking Dead
  • Thor
  • Thunderbolts - Another of Norman's teams.  Was supposed to take down unregistered heroes, but they ended up fighting with each other instead.  No idea where it's going after SI.
  • Ultimate Fantastic Four
  • Ultimate Spider-Man
  • Ultimate X-Men
  • The Ultimates
  • Uncanny X-Men
  • War Heroes - Soldiers with superpowers...what would you do?
  • Wolverine
  • Wolverine Origins
  • X-Force - Cyclops' black-ops team.
  • X-Men
Is that enough?  I think so.  Get to Wiki-ing!
