The Official Comic Book Thread
What are some good recent DC trades to pick up? I've mostly been getting Saga and TWD over the last year or so.
Best book right now IMO is Detective Comics. It's not the typical Batman story. Detective is a team book with Batman and Batwoman leading an uncanny group of heroes, including Clayface (yes, that Clayface).
A close second is Wonder Woman. Greg Rucka came back to DC specifically for this after doing a great job when he was last there. DC wanted someone who could put a real spotlight on her with the movie coming out this year and he has done just that. Wonder Woman comes out twice a month, but Rucka is doing something different with this book. Odd numbers cover one story (right now the present day Rebirth story) and the even numbers covering another story (right now Wonder Woman: Year One). People may find that confusing, but it has been great as the two stories really do tie together. If James Tynion IV wasn't doing such an awesome job on Detective, this would be my favorite book.
Flash is good also. He is training the new Wally West while trying to have a personal life with Iris (at least in this current arc).
Superman/Action Comics are both pretty good as the pre-Flashpoint Superman we probably all know is back.
Titans (the grown-up original Teen Titans) is pretty good as well with the original Wally West back in action.
Aquaman is decent. The initial storyline had him attempting to be more of a diplomat with us land-dwellers while still dealing with the likes of Black Manta and Ocean Master. He and Mera put a decent whipping on Superman in one issue (really a draw).
The story arcs last between 4-6 issues now, which for Detective is 2-3 months since it and several of the main titles come out twice a month. The trades that are out now follow the arcs and the comics have been reduced to $2.99 an issue.
One last thing. If you're going to pick up DC right now, you CAN NOT do so without picking up DC: Rebirth by Geoff Johns. It is the key to everything that is Rebirth. I think the main Rebirth event will take place in the issues of Batman, Action, Flash, and Titans.
