What Am I Reading These Days?

I recently bought the Saga trades but haven't gotten around to reading them. I read the first issue and was not overly impressed but since it's Vaughn, I'm assuming it will read better in trade. I had a similar experience with one of his other books, the name is escaping me at the moment. BKV is a very talented guy. Hollywood did good by grabbing that guy while they could.

I'm reading the X-Books again for the first time in 10 years. I didn't expect to like it. I'm not Brian Michael Bendis's biggest fan on team books (eg: Avengers) but All-New X-Men and Uncanny are really good. Brian Wood is killing it on X-Men, but the existence of that book doesn't really make sense to me because most of the same characters are in Uncanny X-Force. Which leads me to Cable & X-Force. Why are there two X-Force books? It doesn't make sense. I can't get into X-Men Legacy though. Wolverine is good right now, as opposed to Savage Wolverine which I'm not reading. I just hate that they keep going back to "Wolverine lost his powers. Oh woe is me!" as a plot device. Uncanny Avengers is good, but I keep forgetting to read them. I really like Wolverine & The X-Men but read it in chunks. It reads better as arcs to me.

Hawkeye is probably my favorite book at the moment.

Daredevil and Daredevil: Dark Nights are really good. And while I'm on Mark Waid, The Indestructible Hulk is working for me. I started with the Walt Simonson issues and have kept reading.

Batman is phenomenal and the only New 52 DC book I'm buying. I'm digging the Year Zero arc.

The other Vertigo book I'm really digging is American Vampire. I read it in the hard covers. I like reading it in arcs but don't like waiting for the trades to come out.

Walking Dead is good. It reads better in arcs. I almost prefer to wait for the omnibus editions to come out. Otherwise you feel like the story never gets anywhere. I like The Shadow and Green Hornet. 

I'm liking these sci fi mini series that Byrne is doing over at IDW. Hellboy is great when it comes out. Satellite Sam seems fun one issue in. I have the second one and haven't read it yet. And Wasteland from Oni is really good, but I prefer to read it in trade.

The only other regular books I'm reading is Usagi Yojimbo and GI Joe: A Real American Hero.
