Haha. I laugh because the title explains it perfectly. A thief. Who steals from thieves.

On reddit, the two most recommended comics, basically, are this and Locke and Key. Locke and Key is too fantasy-ish for my tastes. So I picked up ToT. Apparently, the first story arc ended with issue 7, so #8 was a good place to start. I read #8 yesterday. Pretty good.

[Vibrio]

ToT is getting a lot of positive word of mouth. Can't wait to dive in.

Finished the issues pictured above. It's good, man. The characters were a bit confusing at first, which may be expected. But now that I have it down, I am really digging the series.

In other news, a couple issues after the reboot, I gave up on The Dark Knight series of Batman because it was pretty poor. Saw some images of the latest issue online, and it looked pretty good. Come to read that the production team changed a few issues back, and the series is pretty solid now.

May get back into that one.

I read all the Bat-books and it's hell keeping the stories apart in my head.

Yep. And I read batman inc. Today. That was a clusterfuk.

Yeah, that book is a chore to get through sometimes. B&R might be the best one.

So, which of the Bat books is worth reading?

I own all of the Batmans from reboot until present. Solid.

And I have random issues of the Dark Knight and Detective Comics. Are these series worth re-joining? Because they each sucked at points.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Ditch DC for Marvel guys!!!

Or just get Green Lantern.

Start with batman 13. Scott Snyder is tearing it up! Get any bat book that relates to "death of the family" arc.

Batman & Robin is awesome. Detective Comics and Batman The Dark Knight are pretty good. Batman Inc is the worst.

As for extended family: Nightwing is getting boring. Batgirl, Batwing, and Catwoman are good, Red Hood and The Outlaws is my fav of the bunch, and I don't read Batwoman.

I read like 70% of both companies' books. Brand loyalty is dumb.

GL is boring the shyt out of me. This Third Army story is draggin' HARD.

Batman Inc isn't too bad. I really don't care for Birds Of Prey, Batwoman, or Red Hood.

Batman, Batman & Robin, Detective Comics, and Batgirl are probably the best. The Dark Knight was terrible up until around issue 11.

Knightwing, Batwing, and Catwoman are middle of the road for me.

[Vibrio]

Ha, I always forget about Birds of Prey. I'd read Batwoman before that garbage.

[CrazySlasher]

Yeah, it's bad. I know that a lot of people are digging Batwoman, and while I do like art, the I find it extremely difficult to read. And yes, brand loyalty is dumb!

I'm royally pissed that they're canceling Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE

Ever Marvel zombie vs DC fanboy argument I see/read, I just wanna dropkick all the participants. S'why I like Image, the die hard fans aren't crazy.

I've never cared for Image. Growing up I thought the art was phucking awful and turned me off from the company. I wouldn't even know where to start now.

You must be a youngin then.

When i read image, when they started out. They had some of the best artists in the industry working on their IP's.

Things have changed since then.

[Vibrio]

My first exposure to Image was Youngblood, The Maxx, and Pitt back in the early 90s.

I'm 30 bro.

I just didn't care for that Rob Liefeld over-the-top style that was everywhere around that time.

I don't know what made me think of this, other than you mentioning your age. I am 28 and remember as a teen, the hippest comic ever was Sandman.

I don't know. My brain went from Image to Spawn, to comics popular at the same time as Spawn, to Sandman. Lol. And then posting here.

I have a couple issues of Sandman in my collection. I wouldn't mind trying to pick some of the originals up and seeing if the same magic is sparked as it was in my youth. When, unfortunately, it was much more difficult for me to get my hands on the Sandman books.

I've never read much of Sandman. I think this weekend I'll go pick-up some TPB.

Other than Gambit, none of the series I am reading had new issues this week.

But I had an itch to purchase.

I have never in my life read Thor. But my trusted shop tender promised that in the current series, Thor is no superhero. And then, BAM!, I saw Jason Aaron was writing and I was sold. About to read now.

Expecting a PunisheThor.
