what was her name /co/? Mine was Saga

Everything from the big two. The stuff I knew gets retconed, the new stuff I like is undone and the stuff I do not like goes on far too long. And there is nothing I would honestly recommend for kids to read that doesn't have a social agenda.

But they are both dying so whatever.

Saga fucked up by making the bald bounty hunter far more interesting than the designated main characters.

I'm mainly reading for The Will, Robot and Marko now that he has stopped being a pussy. Everyone else can eat a dick.

I only are for Saga because of IV and his son. The moment he dies or something, I will stop reading.

Talk about going from "wow" to "who gives a fuck" over the span of an arc...

More interesting than a paint-by-numbers trailer park couple that doesn't even know about space condoms? What a shock.

>retcon/reboot
I've gone from being a predominately Marvel subscriber (~2004) to being exclusively non-Big 2 over the last few years.
>>
>>78534365

This. The main characters are the most boring.
>>
Image:
Saga definitely
The Manhattan Projects
Black Science
Nailbiter

DC:
Green Arrow
- Was excited by Lemire's mythology and while Percy's run isn't bad so far, it's real paint by the numbers
Batman
- I hate admitting this because I loved snyder's run up thru zero year but endgame just didn't strike a cord with me and neither is the gordon-bats arc
justice league 3001
- this fucker is dragging on and on

Marvel:
they keep relaunching books so its hard for me to get into it but i guess I no longer care about any of the avengers books except for ultimates and none of the x-books anymore. The good titles are the ones focusing on singular stuff like vision and karnak

I'd been reading Batman Beyond comics since 2012, but I lost interest after the second issue of this run. I probably won't ready anymore Beyond stuff after this, either. The interest is just gone.
>>
>>78533709
With a few notable exceptions cape comics done after around 2000 just don't hold my interest.
Prophet isn't holding my attention either.
>>
Green Lantern right after Blackest Night
>>
>>78534284

How?
>>
>>78533709
Same. Just read the latest issue last night. I closed it and just whispered "What the fuck?". I have no idea what the hell is going on, and I don't really care.

>>78538933
That's because the current run is trash, but the previous run was gold, especially the Justice League Beyond stories.
>>
>>78536858
Yeah. The art is still nice but every single character is a flat-out unlikeable piece of cardboard. I don't care about any of them, not in the slightest, and I usually get attached to characters pretty quickly.
>>
her name is Nick Spencer

Spencer was entertaining and the way he wrote was a nice break from everything else, but since Superior Foes, all his books feel the same to me just with different characters. Cap feels like political bait
>>
Spawn.
Man I'm fucking old.
>>
The Walking Dead.

Why did it all have to go so wrong?

>new Black Canary
back when i thought new dc could be good. its a tough girl in a band, what could go wrong!? (everything)

>new Miracleman reprint
i think i was afraid i was missing something by not reading the originals or whatever

>Plutona and Welcome Back

jesus christ these are 4 issues each how am i so fucking lazy that i dropped both
>>
Deadpool

His 90's series was the first monthly comic I really followed. Before that I would just read random comics out of sequence based on what looked neat. At some point I just kind of stopped reading.

When he returned in 2008 I was really excited, but after a couple issues (as well as the many side titles that sprung up) I just got sick of him. He was never a deep or horribly complicated character, but the new one was just annoying.

>mfw I used to introduce my friends to Deadpool and say "I wish Marvel would use him more."
>>
>>78533709
Batman: Europa

I know we're only 3 issues in, but I was pretty hyped after the first issue, and the last two have just been really meh.
>>
>>78542546
Everyone who read Deadpool V1 and Cable & Deadpool hated Waypool, which is the 2008 run you're talking about.

For what it's worth, the recent runs have been a lot better, and they even did a retcon that explains why all the Waypool bullshit happened.
>>
>>78534319
>>78542006

This, I was hooked on this shit till about issue 45 or so when kirkman flat out said he had no long term plan and would just keep doing shit until everyone stopped reading. I don't have a source but it was in one of the author talkbacks at the end of one of those issues.
>>
>>78534365
Yes. The Will is the only character I give a fuck about, I just skip the issues he's not in.
>>
>>78533986
you know, why doesn't marvel/dc just stop doing comics and focus on the tv and movie shit?
>>
>>78542884
Not that anon but what was the retcon? I just marathoned the newest run and I think I missed it
>>
>>78544430
because they have enough money and staff to do both.
>>
>>78542314
>Plutona
I tried to read the first issue, it was ungodly boring
>>
>>78534459
Lying...
>>
>>78536858
the writing was never that good. Art's super pretty though, and I think she even had a job at Dreamworks before quitting after her first kickstarter was a huge success.
>>
>>78533709
The Walking Dead
>>
>>78545325
He got fused with Madcap who took the form of his 2nd caption box, they got defused and that's why it's gone now. The most recent issue actually has turned this into a huge plot point
>>
>>78533886
>>78537288
Yeah, though I didn't love it at first I just thought it was okay but it sure has shit the bed. Honestly, just another in an endless parade of examples of Image ongoings that should have been a mini-series.
>>
>>78542314
>>78545615
The fact that Plutona has had a whopping three issues and yet #2 and #3 both felt like filler is fucking astounding. I'm beyond mad, this is definitely the final straw for me with Lemire books. He's been on a steep decline lately but the fact he can't even make a 4-issue mini interesting is unforgivable.
>>
Fables.
Invincible.
>>
>>78533709
Morning Glories
>>
>>78547638
Fables should have ended after the last Adversary arc. Everything after was crap.
>>
>>78533886
I still like it, but I will never understand why they had an issue with fucking Bendis as a main character.

Reading that stuff right now on Marvel Unlimited. Just finished 115. I prefer Cockrum to Byrne, but it's all pretty sweet.
Don't cry because it is over, anon; smile because it happened.
>>
>>78547591
Its a 4 issue mini??? Ok thats really lame then. I was reading it hoping it would pick up after a couple issues..
>>
Flash and Green Lantern.

I can't believe how shit they are. I knew they'd take a dip after Johns left but not the nosedive they took. Relic is up there with Telus as shit ties DC character in the past ten years.
>>
>>78548095
Like literally Bendis?
>>
>>78551986
Wow me too. I was thinking it was a really slow burn but it might pick up steam because the world seemed interesting and there were a lot of story possibilities.

Fuck I'm pretty upset it's a mini, it's insane to think I've read 75% of that story.
>>
>>78533709
Is that Beerus?
>>
pak action comics
the whole shared continuity thing made me drop it
>>
Man....almost everything. Maybe I'm getting old, but I just can barely find anything fresh anymore.

morning glories, the wicked + the divine, young avengers vol 2, loki agent of asgard, saga, all new all different hawkeye, yep.
