Like an alzheimer's patient, I keep going back to my X-books out of habit each month while forgetting how bad they've become.
I'm really hoping that Hickman is on X-men instead of Eternals.

This time it's 100% for sure real. probably.. maybe...The twists and turns with these Hickman rumors are worthy of the writer himself.
JC pls. A slice-of-life book about an Avengers road trip would sell millions.
My go to recs:I'm sure this question/request is super annoying every time it comes up in the comic community, so I apologize in advance..
Can you guys give me a couple of recommendations for any Marvel TPBs (I think that's the correct term for a full story arc AKA multiple comics bundled into one book) that are newer and have been well-received by the community for me to start with? I don't have a preference for superhero. I'd just like to get my feet wet and would prefer to start by reading a whole story than just a chapter.
Also - Is there a generally preferred resource for trusted comic book reviews I could use? I'm finding all kinds of sites in my google searches.
Thanks in advance

Ewing=buyI haven't been too hot on Spencer's ASM run so far but today's issue was great comics. I'm glad I stuck with it. This arc is gonna be a blast.
Hard to say if the book is new reader friendly, I think generally speaking it depends on the reader more often than not. Yeah, it references a lot of past stuff but that's just how it goes with any long-running character.
How was Defenders: The Best Defense? The creative behind it makes it appealing, and the collection that dropped today is a friendly price. Worth checking out?
I was just sitting down to read both of these!

I was gonna say my recommendations but Rave said literally exactly the same I was gonna sayMy go to recs:
Hawkeye by Matt Fraction
Superior Foes of Spider-Man
The Vision by Tom King
All of these receive high praise, and are some of my favorites over recent history. None of them require any sort of prior knowledge to enjoy, and are all completed and not terribly long.
If you're looking for something ongoing then Immortal Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, and Thor are my current favorites. Thor requires a good amount of reading since it's been going on for years under Jason Aaron, but it's very very good.
Can't really give advice on comics reviews since I don't really follow any sites or people for that stuff. But I'm sure some others here might be able to give some tips there. I mostly buy or read stuff from creators I already enjoy, or if the art on something is appealing to me. Or if something gets strong WoM here, like Immortal Hulk did.
Assassin Nation is real funny and I really liked it. Erica's art is the best, and the colors are fucking wild. Story seems pretty interesting
The Best Defense is awesome. A bunch of great writers and artists paying homage to Kirby, Lee, and Ditko, and having a hell of a time doing it.How was Defenders: The Best Defense?

I looked that preview. XD
Ah, I knew I forgot to buy something.Buffy #3 was really fun again. Felt like the issue was missing a few pages in the beginning though. It kinda just started out of nowhere. But I still enjoyed it.
I remember when Bertram did an issue of Batman Eternal and everyone on reddit shat themselves saying it was awful. lmao ur loss losers. I asked my store to hold a copy of Little Bird #1 for me so I can buy it later. Looking forward to it. Book looks insane.I wasn't that into Assassin Nation #1. I think my expectations for the Starks/Henderson combo were too high. The humor didn't land with me and the characters weren't as memorable as I would have liked. The setup is fairly mundane, too. I don't think I will be back for #2.
Little Bird #1 is pretty cool. I am all about the art in this book. Ian Bertram is one of the few artists who I will buy a book for even if the story isn't quite there. I adored his work on House of Penance - anyone who enjoyed the art in Little Bird today should check out that book just for the Bertram art, it is a masterpiece - and it's beautiful here as well. The story has a dreamlike quality that I enjoyed, but I am hoping for a little more clarity next issue. I don't think it is up there with classic debuts like East of West or Extremity (the soft color packet and detailed gore does remind me somewhat of Extremity), but it's worth a look.
Captain Marvel was fine, just fine, and made me feel old cause of some 90s stuff. XD
Best part was where she crashed on earth. Oh I missed that place. :(
I heard from someone that that location is still open, funnily enough.Best part was where she crashed on earth. Oh I missed that place. :(

Rob Sheridan was the art director for NIN until a few years ago.
A band has an art director!?Rob Sheridan was the art director for NIN until a few years ago.
Yeah, sometimes if they care to build an aesthetic and brand identity. Which NIN definitely had.
Yeah gonna be fucking pissed if that happens. Japan's drug laws and culture around it is full of weird over correction.Woah, this Sega Judgement news is kinda crazy. Cant imagine an entire game getting cancelled because one of the characters got caught with cocaine.
I was really looking forward to it too, so I hope this doesnt kill it in the west.

Thanks folks! Seems like Best Defense is a good buy at nine bucks.
Yes, technically.
