We are in yet another summer of meta-narratives. Of the ones ongoing currently, which do you find most compelling or interesting?

Sinestro Corps has me dying to find out what happens next. The current Fables story arc is even better though.
The Skrull thing has been bullshit thus far.

dude! thats a hard question, Sinestro was a close second, but i had to go with the skrulls. Every month between issues Bendis has me figitting like a crack head looking for my next fix. I love this story and i can't wait to see where it's going to go

I'm not really into cosmic stuff, but I have to say that both Annihilation (what I've read of it) and Sinestro Corps seem to be the best. I really dug the first issue of Starlord.

-The Skrull storyline is probably the unoriginal answer, but I'm really liking the direction it is heading in.
-Sinestro Corp has a lot of potential.
-Annihilation is bad ass, especially my boy StarLord's book.

Oops, I forgot all about Annihilation. My bad.

I'd have to say that it is a toss up for me right now between the aftermath of Captain America's death and the Avenger's Skrull Invasion. Both have much to commend. I don't thing I can really choose between Brubaker and Bendis. It's like trying to choose between Ben & Jerry.

I want to say the Sinestro Corps since we're right smack dab in the middle of it, but I really can't wait until the Skrull Invasion gets in full swing. I think it will have greater ramifications. But since the question was for right now I'll say Sinestro Corps.

Hands down Sinestro Corps, its a full on brutal war, and its beautiful. Shame whats going on in Captain America isn't on the list though, that wins out overall.
I like the Sinestro Corps. Countdown is sort of plodding along but im enjoying it.

I have heard nothing but enthusiastic, joyous raves about Sinestro Corps. Would I get into it, as someone who has read a single issue of Green Lantern and didn't care for it? Or is the story weighed down by the crushing baggage of continuity? :)
It's interesting. Seeing people's reactions to Sinestro, Annihilation, and the Nova ongoing, cosmic stories are having sort of a stealth resurgence. They're not Civil War or Infinite Crisis, but there seems to be a growing group of people who are just eating it all up. Good for them.

I hadn’t read anything from GL before Sinestro. I think some of the shock is lost on me b/c of that, but it’s still a fun cosmic battle. The first few issues do a good job of explaining fundamental back history.
I may have actually gone with Sinestro Corps over Countdown if it weren't for GL Corps #14. I just finally got a copy on Wednesday. It was terrible.

I voted the Death of Cap, but really it's all the Winter Soldier stuff in the wake of Cap's death that has me hooked. Seriously, Brubaker could write an entire issue of Bucky reading from the phone book and I'd read it.
Sinestro Corps is a close second for me. I'm a big GL fan (the Corps book has been way awesome, though the regular GL book has been meh). Definitely looking forward to the rest of the Sinestro War. The Hulk war has been fun, too.
Skrull Invasion I find myself really not caring about at all. One too many big events for me in a row.

I feel like the Skrull thing has the most potential, but it’s just in its infancy stages now. I thought Amazons could have been the most compelling, but has really just gotten off the tracks with all of the off-panel action. Countdown isn’t as explosive right now (maybe once Final Crisis hits?). WWH and GL had explosive starts but not sure if I’d give it the most compelling tag yet. Perhaps a sleeper pick for me is the return of Magneto. I’m very curious how Brubaker will handle that.
I'm really digging the post-Civil War Marvel landscape, so I'd have to go with the death of Cap. I think the new status quo for the Marvel U is ripe with potential and I like the themes it explores. It has such a grand scope and at the same time it delves into intimate, personal things.
Brubaker is amazing. I read A Complete Lowlife a couple a years back, and it was such a shock to find out, that this was the same guy who is now writing all these great superhero books (thanks to the vidoeshow for pointing out the connection!)
I also like the enormous payoff that Bendis is seemingly getting to with the whole SkrullInvasion. That story has been foreshadowed in so many books of his, for such a long time. It seems like it's a story he's invested a lot of time and work in, and I can't wait to see where it's going!
