Right now the only thing I can manage to get on a semi-regular basis is Buffy. I just live too far from the nearest comic book store. But I love Buffy.

I've dropped all Marvel titles at this point, so I'm down to a handful of titles that haven't been canceled yet or that Geoff Johns is still writing:

Absolute Must-Reads
* Action Comics
* Green Lantern
* Green Lantern Corps
* Justice Society of America
* Superman/Batman

Honorable Mentions
* Booster Gold
* Detective Comics

• Amazing Spider-Man
• Amazing Spider-Girl
• Angel: After the Fall (Season 6)
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 8)
• Deadpool
• Green Lantern
• KICK-ASS
• New Avengers
• Thunderbolts
• Ultimate Spider-Man

DC
Booster Gold
Detective Comics
Justice Society of America

Marvel
Deadpool

That's pretty much it. I've always been a light comic reader. In fact, this list (also including the Final Crisis books) is probably the heaviest regular monthly load I've had in my life. I read other books on occasion, when the story looks good or if it ties into a book I read regularly, but these are the titles I always look forward to.

Ive never been much of A DC fan...they seem a lot more into fantasy in there stories...But one of my Cousins reads JSA he says its one of DC's best title's is that True..If so i'll have to pick up some of the collections. also I heard that Gentlemen ghost was one of the JSA villians is that true too? he's my fav. DC villian!

The Amazing Spider-Girl
The Amazing Spider-Man Family
Marvel Adventures The Avengers
Marvel Adventures Super Heroes

I get The Amazing Spider-Girl as the series was well balanced between light and dark toned stories and the stories more appealing than the Spider-Man comics from Gathering Of Five and above.

TASM Family because of the varied stories and the Mr. & Mrs. Spider-Man segments. And since it will be the new home of Spider-Girl, I'll be remaining a buyer.

Marvel Adventures simply because the stories are fun, and because the particular title rotates between characters.


Batman The Brave And The Bold
Booster Gold
Detective Comics
Justice Society Of America

I'm gettting Batman The Brave And The Bold for the same reasons as the aforementioned Marvel Adventures comics. Different heroes getting spotlighted and fun stories.

I get Detective Comics because of Paul Dini being the writer since he did good work on the earlier series from the DCAU.

Booster Gold and JSA I'm getting because like with Spider-Girl they mix lighthearted and dark tones well.


I also get the series Love & Capes as it mixes fun lighthearted super hero tone and romance. And lucky me, #10 will be given away on Free Comic Book Day.

If you like lighthearted reads antiyonder you should try the following


Supergirl: Adventures in 8th grade-its gotten good reviews!

Archie comics: the Daily adventures of a teen in riverdale USA

Sabrina The teenage witch: not one of my monthlys but both my lil sis & one of my friends say its a good fantasy series...Like a tammer harry potter


Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic Universe...these comics our good the best of Years of games & cartoons collected into one series, mixed with original villians & great storytelling! a must read for any sonic or classic/retro game fan!

Runaways (marvel) Its a fun series not to serious..but when it is serious its good!!

[Antiyonder]

I'll consider those if I drop another title, but I do get the Supergirl one. I left that off since it is a miniseries.

[soundmonkey44]

Thanks buddy...Its always good to consider things...Unless those things are Illegal...like Making an army of Cyborg Penquins...not that i think of stuff like that.

But seriously...Everyone has interesting lists...man I wish I was a millionare, then I'd buy every comic/manga in existince..muhahahahaha...but I'll settle for now & i really need to cut back too I havn't been able to buy a video game on my own in ages..and Ive only bought 3 DVDs in the past 4 months!

(Thank the lord for cheap rentels though eh..! )

I dunno if he's been in the new Justice Society series but #JSA 82-87 (the last six issues of the previous series, from a couple of years ago during Infinite Crisis and the initial One Year Later issues) featured the Gentleman Ghost, and those were very good.

No, he hasn't shown up in the main JSA title since "Ghost Stories"; he was part of the Injustice Society line-up that was in JSA Classified about the same time, though.

[Anthonynotes]

The Gentleman Ghost dates back to the 40s comics as a villain of the original (Golden Age) Hawkman. Was revived in the 60s as a foe of the Silver Age Hawkman, as well (guessing pre-Crisis either there was an Earth-1 version of the Ghost, or he simply moved to Earth-1...). Either way, yes, the Ghost dates back quite well before the current JSA books as a foe...

But back to the topic:

Given money issues (and a lack of interest in too many current comics/not finding the books I actually want carried by my comic shop), I haven't been buying anything besides Showcase Presents paperbacks lately.

I do however still read comic strips (they're free and always amusing/mega-crossover-free!), including strips ranging from "Dykes to Watch Out For" and "This Modern World" to "Baldo", "Monty", and "Get Fuzzy".
