Comics: what are you currently reading?

Hmm, OK, you've got my attention now.

Just read through Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #1 earlier tonight, it was fantastic. Got a busy weekend already planned but I'm sure I'll burn through #2, 3, & 4 soon enough.


Been reading through that IDW Transformers Humble Bundle I picked up some over the last month or so, some of it has been pretty good, other parts kind of blah. Lots more issues to go through.

I need to check out that Ghost Rider. Would love to see more GR characters in C3G.
Been trying to get through Rogue Trooper. There are a lot more issues than I remember.
Fun read. Rogue is a really interesting character and develops depth way faster than Dredd.

Just enjoyed the Sixth Library Edition of Avatar the Last Airbender. These are long comic trilogies, about 200 pages each in their large hardback editions, that are available at Barnes & Noble among other sources. They continue the story of the original animations, starting only seconds from the last episode's finale.

All are excellent. The last has a new writer and artist who kept the standards up from both the animation and the first five comic volumes, and in fact have now begun to link up the older stories to the coming next generation and to the grandchild generation which is the era of Korra. I was not as impressed by the one library volume of the latter, which is Turf Wars, by yet another creative team, continuing her story from its own animation.

They are, in order:

The Promise
The Rift
The Search
Smoke and Shadow
North and South
Imbalance

I'd be surprised if any coming redo, live or animation, turns out to be as good as these are. I highly recommend them. The original creators of Konietzko and DiMartino have guided them, and there is a great consistency of the beloved characters, as the society portrayed continues to evolve after The Hundred Years War.

I'm not sure if it counts more of a graphic novel but I am reading JOKER by Brian Azzarello again and it is such a cool and unique novel. It's through the eyes of a Joker henchman seeing all of the insane things that the Joker does without any remorse or even thought.

That sounds pretty interesting.

Speaking of YA novels, has anyone read the two about Avatar Kiyoshi? (Avatar: The last Airbender world). I was interested, but didn't spend the money, since they ain't cheap.

DCeased: Unkillables was a great read.

Got around to the two Avatar Kyoshi novels, which were fun. She is one possible main character for the third animated show that the new Avatar Studios who are the original creators will be making.
