I recently finished Jason Aaron’s run on Thor. The whole thing from start to finish was very enjoyable and I’d highly recommend. From Thor to lady Thor to Unworthy Thor and King Thor. It was all strong. He writes Thor so well.
And before that I read J Michael Straczynski’s run. It’s also great but he quit halfway thru and I haven’t read the Kieron Gillen volume that finishes it. I’ve heard it’s pretty good despite him picking it up and trying to finish all the loose ends.
I’m currently almost finished Star Wars (legends) Dark Times. By far the best Star Wars book I’ve ever read. Thoroughly enjoyable. I’m on issue 25 or so of 32. Excellent stuff so far. Takes place right after order 66. Vader features a bit but not much. Got some legit downer twists and turns but is also fun at times. Great mix of showing the real death and destruction caused by the empire while still giving you heroes to cheer for. It also pretty much never relies on any of the core characters or lame ties to the OG trilogy. It’s all new yet feels very familiar at times. It’s got that post war anything goes Wild West kinda feel to it. I’m pretty sure it directly follows Purge but I don’t remember thinking that book was this good. I may have to go back and revisit it.
I’ve also read the first third of Snyder’s Batman run. It’s quite good but not amazing. But now that I have all the volumes I’m excited to finish it.
Age of Ultron was terrible, avoid at all costs.
Read almost all of Brubaker’s Captain America run. Right up to and including Reborn. Solid stuff.
Was not a fan of Priest’s Black Panther run. Read the whole thing. Thought it was all pretty meh from start to finish.
