Right now, Top 5, Desert Island books.

[racemccloud]

What are the books being published RIGHT NOW that you're most excited to see on the shelf or the shipping list?

Right now, here are mine (in no particular order):

- New Avengers
- Amazing Spider-Man
- Mighty Avengers
- Ultimate Spider-Man
- All-Star Batman and Robin

Lots of honorable mentions, but this is only a top five. Of course, the list changes as new books come and go and books increase and decrease in quality, but this is RIGHT NOW.

[luthor]

Walking Dead
Action Comics
Invincible
Powers
New Avengers

All of these titles are subject to creative changes, I'd probably drop Action if Johns and Frank weren't on the book.

[jon_samuelson]

Fables
Fell (as long as we can stretch "published right now" pretty far)
Criminal
Captain America (holy shit, I wish I'd been getting this all along)
Hell, I dunno... Jack of Fables.

[xyzzy]

So, wait. What's the set up? We're on a desert island, and we have subscriptions to these ongoings? I mean, we get all future releases as well as all past ones? Or just future? Or just past?

Either way, my list is pretty easy. Other than Y and Planetary which only have 1 issue to go, there are only 5 books I'm currently getting in issues:

Astonishing X-Men
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Ex Machina
Fell
Runaways

Aparently I'm a whore for Whedon/Vaughan.

If I can include ongonigs I read in trade:

Invincible
Fables
Queen and Country
Powers
DMZ

[humphrey-lee]

Fables
Ex Machina
Walking Dead
100 Bullets
Powers

[kwok_talk]

Hm?if only counting things I read in single issues:
-New Avengers
-Whatever X-title has the next chapter of Messiah Complex
-Astonishing X-Men
-Thunderbolts
-JSA

[deezer]

In no particular order:

1) JSA
2) Powers
3) Cap
4) Green Lantern
5) New Avengers

I like the concept of a desert island with a re-stocking comic books shop...

[labor_days]

Single issues or just all time works/runs? I would have a different list for each.

Supposing I was able to continue getting new single issues on this island...

5. Walking Dead
4. Fables
3. DMZ
2. Captain America
1. Justice Society Of America


All time works/runs...

5. Preacher
4. Astonishing X-Men (Whedon/Cassaday)
3. Love & Rockets
2. Bone
1. Strangers In Paradise

[jon_samuelson]

RETCON!!!!

1) Fables
2) Invincible
3) Criminal
4) Captain America
5) Fell

[itsbecca]

I've been thinking about this recently, what are the books that I'm just completley crazed to read when Wednesday comes? I would say, in no particular order,

1. Walking Dead
2. Jack of Fables
3. Invincible
4. All-Star Superman (although that would be bad for the desert island question)
5. Exterminators (although that would be bad for the desert island question)

[zombox]

Invincible
Walking Dead
Hulk
X-Factor
Dynamo 5

[euchre0]

Captain America
Daredevil
Ultimate Spider-Man
New Avengers
Astonishing X-Men

(Savage Dragon would be on there, but since it comes out once or twice a year, i bumped it)

I liked Labor Days idea, so here is my impromptu list of runs

Savage Dragon
Fables
Preacher
Bendis' Daredevil
Amazing Spider-Man

[gungadin]

1) Booster Gold
2) Captain America
3) Green Lantern
4) Ultimate Spider-man
5) Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Those are mine because... they are... Those are the ones that go to the bottom of the stack every week... Best books.

But when I get off my island, I'm slapping on some Y and Astonishing, because three issues between the both of them is... yeah... Not gonna work...

[esophagus]

Walking dead
DMZ
Fell (We're getting mystical subscriptions, can I get mystically quick new issues)
Ex Machina
Invincible

[six-gun]

Walking Dead
Sleeper
Queen and Country
Dark Knight Returns
Criminal

[jon_samuelson]

Jeez, Six... Why not miss the point of the list entirely. :p Three books that you'll never see another issue of? What kind of wasted use of a magical desert island comic book subscription is that?

I would read those ad naseum ;)

[esophagus]

I would read those ad naseum ;)I can just see you on the beach reenacting Dark Knight. Alone. With a palm Tree playing all parts that don't belong to Bruce Wayne.

"You sold us out, Clark. You gave them the power that should have been ours. Just like your parents taught you. My parents taught me a different lesson... lying on this street... shaking in deep shock... dying for no reason at all. They showed me that the world only makes sense when you force it to."
"....."

Interesting that most people seem to be ignoring the rules of this little game:

What are the books being published RIGHT NOW that you're most excited to see on the shelf or the shipping list?

:)

[esophagus]

Most people? Who other than six?

[conorkilpatrick]

Most people? Who other than six?

Labor_Days and Euchre0

[labor_days]

I provided two lists. ;)

[itsbecca]

Conor's a stickler for rules. Comes with that little moderator title under his name.

Don't make me blow this whistle.

Don't make me blow this whistle.

He really has a whistle.

Oh. I don't doubt it for a second.

Check Mate

[gungadin]

Bothers me that BKV isn't represented...

I never read him in singles except for the end of his run on Runaways and the last three issues of Y... But he reads SO so well in trades... I'd take him in trades over singles I think...

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I've made peace with it.

[esophagus]

Bothers me that BKV isn't represented...
Runaways could have overpowered Invincible, but that's done. Same goes for Y. Not wasting my magic on a so-close to done series.

Runaways isn't almost over... Just kinda delayed until the end of Joss's run...

[esophagus]

Runaways isn't almost over... Just kinda delayed until the end of Joss's run...I menat BKV's Runaways, which is entirely over. Joss' is good, just no BKV.

[gungadin]

I menat BKV's Runaways, which is entirely over. Joss' is good, just no BKV.

I don't think it's that bad at all... Just different and dense as opposed to BKV's really decompressed not so dense writing style...

[esophagus]

I don't think it's that bad at all... Just different and dense as opposed to BKV's really decompressed not so dense writing style...Oh I know. I love Whedon's run to, I just meant BKV's run is a favorite of mine, out of any and all comics, and would have been an island pick. Whedon's on the other hand, is just a good book.
