What? No Transformers Evolution?
Right now I'm reading whatever comes across my plate via DCP if you know what that is. Talia Al Ghul is back with Batman's son (yes) in the recent Detective Comics, and Superman just got his powers back after Infinite Crisis and 52 weeks. The storyline is a much much much better version of a Superman Returns after being missing for a year than the POS movie ever got close to. After defeating Lex, Superman is also being totally err...umm. *sigh* owned (sad that I can't think of an equivalent in proper English anymore) by some giant alien auctioneer.
Saw a b&w comic called Wasteland which was pretty cool, miss those post-apocalyptic stories that there were so many b&w indie comics published about in the 80s and 90s. Reminds me of the manga Eatman which is possibly my favorite manga of all time. It's about a nomadic cowboy type (aren't they all) in a desertified future after global warming flooded the world or something "Big Wet".
As for Marvel, I'm going through Marvel Civil war, etc. I've really liked the Planet Hulk storyline so far but the whole Spider-Man telling the world that he is Peter Parker thing isn't being handled that well. I really don't like any of the ultimate series, can't stand all the revisions made to condense and simplify the characters.
The one exception that yes, shows I'm kind of a ###### is that I really like reading Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane - which is basically teenage romance/comedy/drama about Peter Parker in highschool. It's character driven insteady of storyline driven which is what is missing in pretty much all Superhero comics where characterization has simply become the result of stupid plot cycles. This is just sort of a Degrassi for Spider-Man where Spidey and Mary Jane are like best friends that talk about their problems but don't know each other well as Peter and Mary Jane.
