To get this community back on track: What are you currently reading? Did you discover any classics, find a new not well known series or the artist you've been looking for?

I'll start with Giant Days. I missed it when it was originally published, but started reading Bad Machinery two years ago and fell in love with John Allison's quirky writing and am buying anything with his name on it.

One of my favorite books right now is Newburn by Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Philips. It's has a lot of suspense and Jacob Philips is at least as good as his father.

And i read X-Amount of Comics by Don Simpson. This is a parody/follow up to Alan Moore's 1963 which was published in 1993 and had an announced Annual that never appeared. It's interesting to read Simpsons's account of what happened in the bonus material. The main story on the other hand didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was just a string of one off quips and cameos that didn't really go anywhere.

Currently reading Thor by Aaron Jason vol 2. Never been a huge marvel fan but I wanted to read a Jane foster story. As for current runs I’m gonna watch up on the newest 007 story. Only read the first issue so far.

Is 007 a british series? I only order through US-Previews and i believe that would be published by Titan, am i correct?

It’s actually called “007 – For King and Country” and it’s by Dynamite. https://dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C72513032953001011

It's been a while since I read anything - in terms of comics - at all really. As it happens Giant Days was about the last that I binged through. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have just jumped back on to 2000AD this week and have been taken by Feral & Foe enough to go back and binge through the two earlier runs. It scratched a fantasty itch that I hadn't really been aware of and I am looking forward to more.

Currently reading through Spider Island. It's not bad IMO, but seems like a lot of filler.

I read Kill 6 Billion Demons. It's fricking good!

That sounds like a great name. Read online or got the print version?

I just finished the walking dead - pretty damn good. Maybe manifest destiny next? Or maybe punisher.
