It used to be an annual iFanboy tradition to gather around a grill, cook way too much food, and talk about comics, including the listing of our top 5 comic book series… right now. Well, we thought we’d bring that tradition back and this time invite some of the staff to play the game.
I present to you, in no particular order, the Top 5 Best Comic Book Series… Right Now! as chosen by various members of the iFanboy staff.

Batman
Saga
Manhattan Projects
Walking Dead
Picking #5 was tough, satellite sam, daredevil, indestructible hulk, Hawkeye, I’ve enjoyed The Flash alot, Lazarus, The Activity, superman/batman…. All are great reads right now.
Awesome! This should become a regular thing by the way! 😉
My top 5, in no particular order:
– Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
– Batman
– Daredevil
– Manhattan Projects
– The Wake
I meant The Wake…not The Activity. Oops.
Right Now:
Saga
The Walking Dead
Hawkeye
The Sixth Gun
Chew
Deathmatch
Savage Dragon
Harbinger
Avengers Arena
Saga
Sad to see nobody from ifanboy staff picking any of the Valiant stuff… that whole line as been excellent.
Agreed, Valiant is putting out some terrific books — can’t wait for Unity.
I don’t think many of them are reading the Valiant stuff. Can’t wait for Unity myself.
Deathmatch is Fantastic, even though it’s Boom.
X-O Manowar also excellent
X-O Manowar and Archer & Armstrong are my favorites of the Valiant titles . . .
Thor
Saga
Avengers Arena
Young Avengers
Daredevil
X-Men Legacy
Daredevil
Young Avengers
Saga
Wonder Woman
All New X-Men
Locke & Key
Harbringer
Saga
Prophet
Hard not to include BPRD and Fairest, we are spoilt for choice right now.
Saga
Thor: God of Thunder
The Private Eye
Rachel Rising
Manhattan Projects
In no particular order
Prophet
Daredevil (Seems to be unanimous amongst readers)
East of West
The Massive
Fatale
Saga
Lazarus
All-New X-Men
Daredevil
Batman
Does this site have the capabilities for a polling widget? It’s sort of interesting to see the staff lists. Perhaps less so to browse through hundreds of lists from all us members. However, I would find it supremely interesting to see some poll results with the consensus opinion of the iFanbase on this topic (with more extensive results than just five slots).
+1 that would be great to see!
A follow-up article mayhaps…
Batman
Thor: God of Thunder,
Daredevil,
Uncanny Avengers
All-New X-Men,
I’ll play.
Saga.
Fatale.
Chew.
Locke and Key.
Daredevil
All-New X-Men
Saga
Thor: God of Thunder
Daredevil
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man
Batman
Daredevil
Thor: God of thunder
Saga
Locke and Key
the sixth gun
injustice gods
ultimate spider man
chew
batman
In no particular oder
Batman
Young Avengers
Thor: God of Thunder
Saga
Hawkeye
Six through ten would be
Wonder Woman, Indestructible Hulk, Wolverine & the X-Men, All New X-Men, and the criminally underrated Aquaman
Lazarus
Saga
The Private Eye
Chew
Aquaman
Yes, Aquaman. It’s been consistently entertaining for me.
I think it’s safe to say the iFanboy community loves Saga.
1-Young Avengers
2-Batman
3-Indestructible Hulk
4-Lazarus
5-Hawkeye
This was tough.
In no order:
Thor: God of Thunder
Aquaman
Saga
New Avengers
East of West
I’d have to say the stuff I look forward to most:
New Avengers
FF (future foundation)
Manhattan Projects
Walking Dead
Hawkeye
Saga
Conan the Barbarian
Star Wars: Legacy
The Goon
Manhattan Projects
I love the goon too but didn’t include it because it’s next issue is solicited for Nov 28th! I think that will make it a year between issues lol. Great book though, and I can’t wait for the movie.
in no particular order:
saga
prophet
manhattan projects
wonder woman
daredevil
i read in trades, so a recurring feature like this would be great! maybe done as a quarterly feature, with an accompanying podcast; i’d love that!? 😉
It gets quite tricky to pin down, once you really think about it, but I’ve settled on :-
5. Aquaman
4. Fatale
3. The Manhattan Projects
2. Wonder Woman
1. Saga
Expected more love for Wolverine & The X-Men!
Wolverine & The X-Men
Saga
Avengers Arena
Manhattan Projects (Almost went with East of West)
Ultimate Spider-Man
For me right now assuming Locke and Key is out because it’s on hiatus:
Saga
Hawkeye
The Manhattan Projects
Daredevil
Prophet
Runners up were
Ming MGMT
Young Avengers
Thor
The Victories
Bedlam
X-Men
Saga
Green Arrow
XO Manowar
Batman
Scarlet Spider
These are in no particular order and this was harder than I thought. There are alot of great books being published right now.
Saga
Sex
East of West
Uncanny X-men
All New X-men
Done in 3 minutes.East
In no order:
Mind MGMT
Unwritten
Saga
Young Avengers
Archer & Armstrong
It was close between Archer & Armstrong and Batman, but the Valiant book edged out Snyder’s. I’m still enjoying Batman, but not at the same excitement level as before. Also the current arc of Archer & Armstrong has been fabulous.
Disappointed that there have been no votes so far for Mind MGMT, one of the most creative series I’ve read in a long time — it definitely deserves a larger audience.
Second the Mind MGMT surprise and love. If I had Santa Claus powers I would just give everyone a copy of the first trade, and we’d all have to stay in bed for a week after reading the Zanzibar issue.
1. Mind MGMT
2. The Manhattan Projects
3. Hawkeye
4. Daredevil
5. Satellite Sam
It was between MInd MGMT and Prophet on my list for what it’s worth. I actually just started reading it and was floored.
No one is reading the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing? It’s been amazing! Definitely my pick for one of the best right now, issue after issue is an absolute home run.
I love it man. I’ve been a fan of the turtles since I was 7 or 8 but I somehow missed that there was a new ongoing series until about 6 months ago! I’ve picked up the trades up until #20 and am getting it in singles now. More people should check this book out.
I included it in my top 5. Second comment from the top man! 😉
I’ve been with it since the beginning, ongoing, Annual, and the Micro issues, and Secret of the Foot. Expensive stuff to follow just one series.
agreed. it’s definitely one of my favorites right now (especially the current ark). I also love the concept of the mini series as an addition to the main one.
I like it too. I’d complain more about costs, but damned if every Micro isn’t enjoyable and great anyway.
My must buys:
Batman
Ultimate Comics Spiderman
New Avengers
Batman/Superman
Ultimate Comic The Ultimates
so what im hearing is i should be reading Daredevil, i may start picking them up digitally when the ipad comes in.
my top five:
1. chew
2. wonder woman
3. batman
4. batman beyond (has surpassed my wildest dream)
5. invincible (only just finished conpendium one and waiting for 2 to ship so they look pretty on my shelf.)
new tot his whole thing so still learning, tend to gravitate more towards dc but open to new recs at all times.
Check out some of the Image stuff, they are killing it now. I’d say I’ve been traditionally a DC guy, but 3/5 of my list were Image, as were the runners up!
I agree with Kenny G. Image is really making some waves. Just off the top of my head, I recommend: Saga, Manhattan Projects, East of West, Lazarus, Satellite Sam, and Prophet. They’re currently sporting the most versatile and creative lineup in comics.
I’m a lifelong DC guy, and I’ve dropped most of my current DC pulls for Image. Just dip your toe in. The water’s fine.
And yes, read Daredevil. Like right now. Go!
Yeah right now as far as quality there’s Image and then everybody else.
My favorites are:
The Private Eye
Daredevil
Hawkeye
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Ten Grand
Being a student, I’m on a pretty small budget so there are a LOT of books that I would like to read but can’t. I’ll probably end up picking up a lot of things in trade eventually though. Danger Club, Fatale, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Nova and FF are also really good.
Thanks for this article and all the replies.
Just updated my To-Read list. 8)
I’ll play. No order, this was hard to pick only 5.
Thor: God of Thunder
Batman
Walking Dead
East of West
Bedlam
Runners up: Manhattan Projects, Lazarus
BEDLAM!!!!! Underrated Image series.
Daredevil
wolverine and the x-men
hawkeye
manhattan projects
superior foes of spider-man (i know we’re only two issues in, but those two issues have been the best i’ve read all year)
I’ve read the first two issues of Superior Foes Of Spider-Man too and thought they were really good. I’m excited for this series and hope it goes on for a long time.
Superior Foes is the Mark Waid’s Daredevil of 2013. Hope to add it to my top 5 in the future, but just couldn’t with only 2 issues out. It’s my Honorable Mention 🙂
Superman Batman
Superior Spiderman
Justice League
Injustice Gods Among Us
Smallville
Thor: God of Thunder
Hawkeye
Saga
Manhattan Projects
Locke & Key
Uncanny Avengers
I listed 6 since Locke and Key will be gone soon.
In no particular order:
Thor
Batman
Superman unchained
All-new xmen
Daredevil
This was pretty hard to decide on, gotta give mentions to stuff like justice league, hickmans/remenders avengers and nightwing which has been awesome lately.
Saga
East of West
Hawkeye
Green Arrow
The Massive
Saga
Manhattan Projects
Hawkeye
East of West
The Private Eye
Too many people are missing out on Fatale. It’s such a great book.
Thor
Harbinger
Bloodshot
Xomanowar
mind MGMT
Runners up:
FF
All New Xmen
Locke and Key
Hawkeye
Avengers Arena
Young Avengers
Oh man… i forgot BPRD. Which is always a top 5
Well I better get in on this, in no particular order:
Star Wars
Superior Spider-man
Ultimate Comics Spider-man
Wolverine and the X-Men
Hawkeye
Superior Foes of Spider-man and Batman 66 could take over 2 of these spots if they continue to be so good, but I didn’t feel right including them after only 2 issues.
Also, I need to get around to reading Waid’s Daredevil and Saga soon.
5. All New X-men
4. Batman
3. Trillium
2. Indestructible Hulk
1. Sex
Am I the only one who thinks Sex has been great so far?
New Avengers
Superior Spider-Man
Wonder Woman
East of West
Sex
That list would be different if Journey into Mystery and Threshold hadn’t been cancelled this month.
If Journey Into Mystery, Dial H & Demon Knights hadn’t been canceled, my list would have been even more difficult to narrow down . . .
Immonen’s run was almost as good as Gillen’s and reminded me a lot of Nextwave. It is just awful that something so cool was so ignored.
Daredevil
Superman: Unchained
East of West
The Manhattan Projects
Indestructible Hulk
It’s a great time to be a comic fan 🙂
My Top 5 (in ABC order):
All-New X-Men
Daredevil
Saga
Superior Spider-Man
Thor: God of Thunder
Honorable Mention:
Superior Foes of Spider-Man- Too New to Include
I could wholeheartedly go with Chris’ list. Maybe switch out DHP for Mind MGMT, DHP has been less consistent the past few months, I think. Plus, the constant new series pushing is a bit too much of a marketing move for my taste. Everything else, yes:
5. Mind MGMT
4. Lazarus
3. Private Eye
2. Saga
1. Prophet
Runner ups: Dark Horse Presents, The Massive, Adventure Time, Manhattan Projects, The Wake, Trillium, Astro City, Unwritten, Animal Man
I don’t get the Batman hype. It’s well written and all, but it is just way too standard super hero fare for my taste. But that’s what taste is for, I guess.
Everyone loves lists.
Aquaman
Wonder Woman
Thor
New Avengers
Lazarus
In no particular order
1. Avengers Arena
2. Locke and Key
3. Saga
4. Batman
5. Daredevil
I hate to be THAT guy, but I’ll be THAT guy. No Locke and Key in the iFanyboy staff top 5?
I strongly considered it, but it’s been so long since an issue came out, I wanted to highlight the current crop.
I have re-typed this several times already but (in no particular order) they are:
Batman
Saga
Nowhere Men
Wonder Woman (I never thought I’d put WW in a top 5 list!)
FF
Honorable mention: Hellboy in Hell (it’s on a break)
I can’t consider Nowhere Men in my top 5, even though I love it so much. When DID the last issue come out, 3-5 months ago?
HIH. Y’know for such a relaxed and down to Earth guy, HB spends alot of time traveling and fighting. Yet Mignola is always taking these breaks. Ironic in a way, but I love them both.
I was already wondering why no one included nowhere man. its true that the book hasn’t come out in quite a while (does anyone know why?) but it’s awesome. the whole design of the book itself is already a masterpiece 😉
If this had been a top ten, I would have included Nowhere Men, but, it couldn’t quite make the cut for a top five.
In no particular order
Uncanny Avengers
Fatale
Ghosted
Wonder Woman
The Sixth Gun
My list:
Daredevil
Saga
The Massive
Revival
The Sixth Gun
Well I’m a joiner, and everyone else did it so here’s mine, in no particular order.
Daredevil
Wonder Woman
Saga
Manhattan Projects
BPRD
if American Vampire was coming out it’d be on here, but I don’t know what I’d replace.
Mine would have to be,
Hawkeye
Avengers Arena
Young Avengers
Saga
Thor
I was just thinking today as I was reading through my stack how lucky we all are that there’s so many amazing books being put out right now.
I could have easily filled out a top twenty and still had to have left books out.
I noticed most of the Ifanboy staff averaged 3 Marvel titles each, with Jim having the most (4,ironic). Surprised 3 or 4 of the rest had no Marvel titles tho.
My top five RIGHT NOW:
The Flash
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Green Lantern
Animal Man (NOBODY ON THIS ON THEIR LIST?!!! ((which I mostly skimmed
Trillium
I’d put Nowhere Men in place of Trillium but I can’t remember WHEN the last issue of NM came out. Honorable mentions to Waid’s DD (not currently buying, but reading in TPBs at the library), Larfleeze, Snyder’s Batman (which I’m taking a sabbatical from, but I’m sure it’s as good as ever), Batman/Superman, and Quantum and Woody.
dude, I like your list. I put a lot of them on my top 5 as well.
The current arc of Animal Man has been great and the annual was outstanding, yet, five is a small number, and the others on my list impress me even more on a month to month basis . . .
Thanks @Godzilla.
@Cosmo, for me A-Man just keeps churning new surprises all the time along with killer writing. Some months I think “This is cool, but how can anything in here compete with _____ or ______ or even _____”. In fact that’s what I was thinking last month, until I read the annual and Issue 23(?). BBAAMM! Awesome morning. I tried describing this series to my art teacher and couldn’t quite find the right words to. I feel that’s the benchmarks to a lot of great series, so good they almost defy short descriptions.
Y’know what’s bugging me about my list? NO GHOSTBUSTERS!!! That series is fantastic every month. Every month! And it’s run for almost 20 issues. It’s kept it’s quality just as high if not more than TMNT, so that’s a glaring oversight to me on myself. Honorable mention won’t cut it, it DESERVES a spot on my Top 5. Don’t know what to cut from my list to make room tho.
All-New X-Men
Batman
Saga
Wonder Woman
Star Wars
Who knew I would have Star Wars in my top five, much less Wonder Woman!
Hawkeye / Thor: God of Thunder / Wolverine and the X-Men / FF / Saga
Saga
Thor, God of Thunder
The Manhattan Projects
Batman
Prophet
Oh, fine …
Saga
Thor: GOT
Daredevil
East of West
Wonder Woman
Batman
Thor: God of Thunder
Daredevil
Green Arrow (#17 onwards)
Hawkeye
I know I need a few more creative owned titles in there but this list is too good at the moment to be toppled.
this would be my list:
TMNT
Animal man
Young Avengers
Saga
Nowhere Men
(but FF and Flash would be close 6 and 7)
honorable mention for best mini:
trilium
Thor God of Thunder
Uncanny Avengers
Batman
Captain America
All New X-Men
But I do think Hickman’s Avengers/New Avengers has really picked up with with start of Infinity. And Mark Waid’s Daredevil and Indestructible Hulk are also up there, probably 7 and 6 respectively.
In no particular order mine would be
Locke and Key
Mind MGMT
Daredevil
Saga
Sheltered
with runners up being Ultimate Spider-man, The Wake and Hawkeye
To be honest, I read like 4 titles. I’m glad someone chose Deadpool, though. In many ways it’s an unappreciated series, critically.
Well holy shit! You know I do love a Top 5 List!
My Top 5 Comic Books right now…
1. Batman
2. Thor: God of Thunder
3. Daredevil
4. Ultimate Spider-Man
5. TIE: Trillium / Satellite Sam
(yeah that TIE thing was just an excuse to squeeze in one more comic) 😉
No fair! No ties allowed!
You could say I’m a … tie fighter.
I’ll show myself out …
Hey-Ooo! =)
Hey Conor, you should compile all our lists and create an “iFanboy User Top Comics List!”
I mean, if you got nothin’ better to do. 😉
I was going to but then you put 6 books in your Top 5.
Good idea but its looking like it would easily Be Thor, Saga, Batman, Daredevil, Hawkeye, just from scanning the results. I don’t think anything else will make the list.
Conor’s list looks to be the same as the average of all of ours.
Yeah but Conor, you know what Jimi always said….
“Now, if 6 turned up to be 5,
I don’t mind, I don’t mind.
If all the hippies cut off their hair,
I don’t care, I don’t care.
Dig, ‘cos I got my own world to live through
And I ain’t gonna copy you.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iaJWrLsJlI
groovy 😉
I would like to see this done in a chart. Just take the first 5 listed and throw out any others. Would there be a way to track this on a regular basis? I’d gladly enter my top 5 each month to see how they stack up.
Couldn’t we simply look at the top five most pulled books each week? That would have to be our collective top 5, by definition (assuming everything comes out on time.)
If we’re comfortable equating most pulls with “best,” then that would be easy to do. The data is already recorded. However, I don’t think that some of the books I purchase with high pulls are what I would call “best” right now. This is more an indication of what people are buying.
Similarly, POTW percentages could be used, taking the top 5 by highest percentages. But what about a week when two (or more) really great books come out? You’re limited to picking one of them, where across a month you might have picked three of them as top 5 of the month.
I’m not trying to create more work for anyone, but if it’s not accurate, don’t bother reporting it.
Fuck Yeah Jimi Hendrix!!!
top 5 in just random order
Batman
Daredevil
All new x-men
Saga
American Vampire
sorry Green arrow and Aquaman, you just missed the cut . Yeah there are some really good comics out there right now,
Deadpool
X-O Manowar
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Batman
Daredevil
Also, really digging X-Men right now and I love Saga, just need to catch up as I’m a few issues behind. Other honorable mentions would be Aquaman and The Flash.
I dropped so many books lately, here’s what’s left and thus, is my top 5
Daredevil
Thor: God of Thunder – I swore I was dropping this after GodBomb, but dammit if I didn’t walk right into the shop and buy it.
Deathmatch – Oh, yesss…Deathmatch. Jenkins world building and the depth of the characters is an exciting mystery.
Hawkeye – even I stopped with the annual.
Doom 2009 — oh, sorry, that’s from 1993. (And a damn cool book).
The love for Daredevil’s so strong, Matt Murdock is weeping, from those useless eyes.
I couldn’t come up with a top Five, it was hard enough to come up with a top ten. No particular order.
Ten Grand
East of West
Saga
The Private Eye
Fatale
Six Gun Gorilla
Daredevil
Hawkeye
Batman
The Wake
Alright, I’ve had some time to digest this decision:
Saga
Ten Grand
East of West
Fatale
FF (I don’t know how I missed this in my top ten…)
If it wasn’t a Limited, SGG would be in there.
in this order…
5. Walking Dead
4. Hawkguy
3. Locke & Key
2. Saga
1. Batman 66
This brings back some fun memories and makes me want to grill some food. Thanks for doing this.
Top 5 gonna be tough, how about
1. Saga
2. The Manhattan Projects
3. Uncanny Avengers
4. Prophet
5. The Massive
Difficult because I do truly love B.P.R.D., both of Hickman’s Avengers titles which I know most people wouldn’t pick & his East of West is great too & then there’s Nowhere Men if only they could get their act together on releasing schedule!
my top five are in no order gi joe special mission,batman/superman,new avengers,x-men and daredevil.by the way i want to try unit but i haven’t read any valiant i a’m getting the x-o manofwar hard cover in november
1. All-New X-Men
2. Thor: God of Thunder
3. Daredevil
4. Bedlam
5. Mind the Gap
In no particular order:
All New X-men
Wolverine and the X-men
Saga
Infinity
Young Avengers
I find it interesting how many people are including Trillium based on a single issue. I mean, I loved it, and look forward to the rest of the series, but can’t really call it one of my favorite books month after month . . .
dude it makes total sense! With only one awesome issue to judge the series by and no “so so” issues yet, it belongs in the top 5 list of comics at THIS moment we dig.
I was blown away by that first issue and I am looking forward to issue # 2 more then any other comic book coming out right now.
I agree with @ ghostmann, it had a spectacular first issue so of course alot of people will favor it. As long as Lemire knocks the other 7 out of the park I think Trillium’s fans will just grow and grow. I think when it’s over we’re gonna need a cigarette and “Man, I’ll never forgot THAT”.
Yeah was about to say the same thing about Trillium only having one issue out.
For me:
Daredevil
Wonder Woman
Saga
Wolverine & the X-Men
Fatale
Private Eye, Lazarus, and Satellite Sam are all excellent but I feel like they haven’t been out long enough to warrant inclusion.
My top five in order:
1. Wonder Woman
2. Manhattan Projects
3. Saga
4. Batman
5. Young Avengers
Note: i’m trade waiting several marvel now books ($4/x2 shipping) to keep my pull list manageable.
I’m also enjoying the crazyness of Justice League, deal with it:)
I live for top five lists! This is a great article. I have already sent the link to a bunch of friends who just got into comics, great page to send people who want to get into some good new stuff.
Anyways onto the business at hand.
No particular order:
Batman
Saga
The Wake
Trillium
Thor: God of Thunder
I know Trillium has just been one issue but I had to think what I am currently most excited to see hit the stands, and that is definitely Trillium!
Alright, let’s go:
1. Batman
2. Daredevil
3. Lazarus
4. Hawkeye
5. Trillium
Honorable mentions include Satellite Sam, Saga, and Young Avengers.
My turn!
Wonder Woman
Young Avengers
Manhattan Projects
Saga
Thor: God of Thunder
(if I could have 6…Avengers Arena.)
No order
Detective Comics
Batman: The Dark Knight
Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern
The Flash
Indestructible Hulk

Saga
Chew
All-New X-Men
Wonder Woman
Nowheremen
Whelp, let us add to this mash of lists.
Batman/Superman
Uncanny Avengers
Thor: God of Thunder
Nowhere Men
The Flash
Yeah, that ended up being super generic Justice League could have made it but I just read “Grumpy Old Fan” and how much the arcs might start running together like GL the past few years and…I don’t know if I can handle it again.
Most of those picks line up pretty squarely with what I’m reading. Note to Paul, Gabe, and Jeff: I find your lack of “Saga” disturbing.
My picks:
Saga
Avengers Academy
All New X-Men
Hawkeye
Uncanny Avengers
*fuck. I meant “Avengers Arena”, not “Avengers Academy”. : /
Can’t resist …
Hawkeye
Saga
Thor: God of Thunder
Manhattan Projects
Lazarus
Honourable mentions – Daredevil, East of West, and Young Avengers
No particular order:
The Unwritten
Fatale
Daredevil
Hawkeye
Astro City
We really are spoiled for choice at the moment – this list could be totally different depending on my mood on any given day.
Hmm….This is tough so I can’t say this is in any particular order:
The Wake
Daredevil
Deadpool
Avengers/New Avengers (I’m putting this as a tie only because, as a whole, they work well together. Plus Infinity is making it a strong case for both)
The Manhattan Projects
Daredevil
Peter Panzerfaust
All-New X-Men
Thor: God of Thunder
Good lord, that’s a heavy bunch….having a tough time finding a fifth that can compare. Too bad Fury Max is over,
– Hawkeye
– Saga
– Wonder Woman
– Daredevil
– Fatale
New Avengers
Saga
Batman/Superman
Wonder Woman
Manhattan Projects
Thanks again, y’all.
Just made a nice reading list that’ll last all winter long.
Cheers!

Weekly Shonen Jump
Savage Dragon
Sonic the Hedgehog
Saga
Who let this this guy in?
😉
You mean the guy with the big balls that admitted to reading “sonic the hedgehog” ghostmann, ha. Seriously everyone should read “Day of chaos” from last years 2000AD, it was something special. You 2 Ghostmann, I think it’s in a 2 part collected edition now.
I was a loyal savage dragon reader from 1-150 but man i needed a break. Erik Larsen is a super nice and funny guy in real life b.t.w.
I don’t know what weekly shonen jump is though.
You’re right! The-motherfucking-Adventurer just rose in the ranks of iFanboy coolness with that Sonic pick! Is there some kinda cross over/mega event happening with Sonic and Donkey Kong Jr or something? “Rise of the Gold Coins War”? I gotta check that out.
Shonen jump is a Manga anthology thingy-ma-jobber.
Thanks for the info Gmann.
Saga
Walking Dead
Revival
Daredevil
Thor
I just started reading Walking Dead and Revival in trades. I picked up Revival after I heard you guys mention it on the podcast. Great book!
Justice League
Red Hood and the Outlaws
Aquaman
Green Lantern
Justice League of America
I’m one of the New 52 fans DON”T JUDGE ME 🙂
^judged^
😉
All my life I made fun of Green Lantern. The first time i read it was issue one of the new 52. Now i love Green Lantern. I guess i was just ignorant. It seems that life long Lantern fans aren’t impressed, but I love it. The Corp was really good too. I even like Larfleeze and the Red Lantern book by Soule.
HOW DARE YOU!?!?

That wasn’t easy to come up with a top 5. Nice to see nobody trashing anybody else’s list too.
Wonder Woman
FF
Ten Grand
Astro City

My top 5 are exactly Conor’s top 5.
Outside of Batman and Saga I don’t have a single non-Marvel book on my list until about #16, I can’t believe how many great books Marvel is putting out right now. It’s incredible.
And to be clear, I love books like Revival, The Private Eye, Lazarus, Satellite Sam, various DC books, and much more. I just think Marvel is putting out the best books right now.
@LeviHunt15 My comment was posted just after yours and it echoes your sentiments about Marvel. They have so many great books and I think Marvel Now was a lesson in how to do a successful relaunch.
Well I can’t resist a list.
I’ve said this so many times but there really is so many great books coming out each week. It is a great time to be a comic book fan.
No order:
Saga
Thor: God of Thunder
Hawkeye
Daredevil
The Wake
Why are we only allowed five?! It’s too hard. On a different day I could have Mind MGMT, Fatale, The Massive, Young Avengers, Archer & Armstrong, Batman, The Private Eye, Superior Foes of Spiderman, Trillium (even one issue in!).
I used to be a DC guy but Marvel is putting out better books at the moment. And Image is still killing it.
I agree I did 2 top 5 lists. A top tier and a 2nd tier. If pressed I probably could do a 3rd tier.
No particular order, and bearing in mind that, like most folks, this list changes daily:
Daredevil
Thor: God of Thunder
Wonder Woman
Batman ’66
Aaaaaaaaaand…
Y’know what? I’m gonna go with Scarlet Spider.
Animal man
Hawkeye
Prophet
Daredevil
Archer and Armstrong
Ya i’m really digging both the writing and the art on Animal man.
My. Top five
5. All new xmen
4. Manhattan projects
3. Trillium
2 Indestructible Hulk
1. Sex
Am I the only one that thinks Sex has been great so far?
As I did my top five I thought of a second tier top 5
5. Chew
4. New avengers
3. Batman
2 Thor
1. Saga
I think my two top 5 s are really interchangeable month to month
My Top 5:
Thor: God of Thunder
New Avengers
Green Arrow
Batman
Uncanny Avengers
Oh jeez……Lemme think:
1. Prophet
2. Manhattan Projects
3. Saga
4. Hawkeye
5. Thor
I would have put Nowhere Men on there too but considering it comes out, like, twice a year and there are only something like 5 issues, I left it off. Also, Sheltered is super good but there’s only 2 issues.
Ok. I guess it’s my turn.
So…in no particular order…
Ultimate Spider-Man, Aquaman, Saga, Thor aaaaaad…Wonder Woman…sounds about right.
Runners up: Batman, Daredevil, Justice League, All-New X-Men and Hellboy(even though it’s been a while since the last issue. THE only reason it’s not in my top 5.). 😀
Batman
Saga
Daredevil
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man
All-New X-Men
Hawkeye
Saga
All-New X-Men
Daredevil
East of West
I’m not including limited series like The Wake or Trillium. New Avengers might have had a spot on here but it’s kind of lost its identity as it’s been sucked up into Infinity. I think I can comfortably say that if I was reading no other comics but these above five, I’d be satisfied.
Saga
Batman
Hawkeye
Injustice
Wonder Woman
My Top 5:
Hawkeye
Wonder Woman
Thor: God Of Thunder
Nowhere Men
Young Avengers
