    What comics are you reading?

    I was talking to Brother Beamish about this on Twitter. Thought we should open a thread:

    What comics are you currently getting and loving? What's on your pull list? New stuff you recommend? Old favourites that just keep getting better?

    INQUIRING MINDS* want to know.

    Re: What comics are you reading?

    I'll start!

    Just started reading WINTER SOLDIER, which rocks. Hard.
    Holy crap, Brian Wood & Becky Cloonan's CONAN (from Dark Horse) is amazing!
    I can't get enough of Terry Moore's RACHEL RISING. I'll be buying the trade, even though I get the singles on my pull list. Gotta support something like this.
    Marvel are really going up in my estimations, lately. I used to buy way more DC, but I'm also loving: DAREDEVIL and PUNISHER. Never, ever thought I'd buy PUNISHER, but Greg Rucka is doing something special with it. (Love Greg's work, so I am totally biased.)
    Finally: more Marvel and more Brian Wood. His mini-series, WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN: ALPHA & OMEGA is very nicely written. It's the first X-book I've bought (other than Marjorie M. Liu's X-23) in a looong time.

    Edited to add: I also can't wait for SAGA and MIND THE GAP from Image. Got my name down for both of those.

    Holy cats!!

    That's a lot of comics, but thanks for sharing.

    You guys are making me want to post my whole pull list... I just listed a few of the 'New & Notable'. My OCD nature now means I have to dig out the whole thing.
