Comics: what are you currently reading?

Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely one of the best Marvel series of the last ~20 years, I think. I've actually been planning to bust out my hardcovers for the first time in years, since, well, you know.

I'm four chapters (issues) into the Daredevil Yellow book and REALLY enjoying it. Thanks @Ronin .

Nice! It's a classic.

Looks like you finally have...I'll add it to the list.

I don't have it yet, but note that they are coming out with Vol. 1 of 2 on Avatar Kyoshi, one of the earlier Avatars who we get tantalizing glimpses of in Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm always looking for historical and mythological references in modern anime and other works based on Chinese or Japanese history. The description notes that she founded the Earth Kingdom Dai Li, the secret police which eventually corrupted it, and are later seen as evil in the 'modern' TV episodes.

When I first saw them in one, I recalled a memoir I'd read of a WWII American sailor, who served as a coast watcher in China during that conflict. He noted that he was given a small insignia pin to show around if he as ever in need of cooperation, and it always got him almost scaryily good treatment whenever he had to travel in the country, got frustrated in his misison, and had to show it to get a response. He later found out that it was the badge of the Dai Li, Chiang Ki Shek's Nationalist secret police!

How about that?

Looking forward to a very controversial 2016 run of Mr. Miracle, one of my favorite Kirby characters, by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This should be interesting. The last time I read a Mr. Miracle it was "The Death of Barda." Which I disliked so much I read it and threw it out! Let's hope this one stays around.

Having read four big hard cover "Library Editions" of the animated Avatar; the Official Editions with input by the original creators, I just read the first such big book of Korra, and enjoyed it. Both start just thirty seconds from the end of the final animation episodes and move right along from there!

I've been reading through Batman and the Outsiders for research. Fun, though the 80s were definitely a quirky time.

I'm on a DC Universe subscription now, so I'm open to suggested reading from that library if anyone has it!

Crisis on Infinite Earths, it's the original crossover, and they have it set up to read all the tie-in issues.

Love it, have it in softcover.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

As do I, with most of the issues, then as a whole in a trade. But it's never been printed with all the crossover tie-ins, which is why I'm thinking of re-reading.
