I used to buy FAR more DC titles than Marvel titles. In fact, I got so fed up with Marvel for a while I swore off ANY of their titles for a while. But this new EIC they got is really making Marvel great reading. I haven't enjoyed the books this much since the days of Jim Shooter, and I doubted I'd ever find a EIC I enjoyed as much as Shooter. (Personal opinons aside, the man really made reading comics fun again). While I wouldn't put Joe Q (I will not even try that last name!) in the same category as Jim, he is making Marvel worth while to read again, at least.
This month, I am picking my October comics for pre order, and I am finding more Marvel on my list than DC. That's the first in years.

I'm reading X-MEN again and it is great! NEW X-MEN is a great book. I'm also skimming through more. I plan to buy a bunch of their TPBs (ie: WOLVERINE: BLOODUNT, DARK PHOENIX SAGA) to get caught up. Their X-Books are good again! They have some great creative talent their now. I can understand why DC is ticked off at them. It seems the friendly rivalry they have is no longer friendly.

I am picking up New X Men with issue 118, as it starts a new story line. Somehow, I think I will regret not picking it up with Morrisons first issue, as I am sure if I really like it, the back issues will be an arm and a leg. I am sure the first story line he did will be a trade paperback, tho.

I've been reading the Grath Ennis Punisher and the Loeb/Sale Daredevil mini-series, but that's about it.

I've been reading Ultimate X-Men/Spider-Man since they first started and recently I've been getting into Amazing Spidey, New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and Daredevil: Yellow.

That's the way I've been, getting a title here and there and slowly adding them as I go along.
Anybody else reading Fantastic Four? I picked it up with issue 44, tho it is the end of some kind of multi issue story so I didn't know everything that was going on there but it struck me as good nonetheless.

I'm currently just reading NEW X-MEN and UNCANNY X-MEN, and for the time being that's it, but it's the first time in a long time I'm reading Marvel. I may pick up th eoccasional TPB or issue here and there. I may pick up the Spidey books when the movie come sout, but this is about it for Marvel. I gotta make room for all those Batman and animated books, right?

I was actually thinking of changin gmy user name to BruceWayne at one point, and I still consider it now and again. I don't read Nightwing anymore, and I enjoy the Bruce Wayne character more than the DickGrayson character. But, everyone knows me as DG. I doubt I could.
