With X-Men, I figure if I avoid the AU stuff it'll cut down on my reading material by like half ;) And since I'll be venturing in there, maybe I can make you a map once I'm done navigating the whole mess. May save you from some Angry Feminist episodes as well.
The Buffy comics swerved off road pretty early on so I stopped, but I followed Angel through the first big storyline(which was a very enjoyable ride). I stopped after that run. Honestly I don't think I'm cut out for month to month stuff. It all takes too long, and when I'm fed bite size chunks of story at a time it's too hard to get into it. But now that they're done with the aftermath"season" I can pick that up and warm up for when Dark Horse start their Faith and & Angel run in September. Farscape's still going on in comic form? Hmm *puts on list* I actually haven't finished the show yet. Some of s4 still to go.
Thanks for the tip on WW. I'll see if I can get my mitts on the earlier issues before I dig in. And whenever Gail Simone's name has been mentioned, it seems to have come with an obligatory giant sparkly heart, so I'm guessing she's always a safe bet for a good story(especially female character wise, is my impression).
Let me know what you think of Scott Pilgrim. I'm equal parts interested and think it's something I might enjoy and concerned the hipster self-referentiality would annoy me. Like I'm not sure how I'll feel about some dude having to battle a chick's exes for the right to date her, but equally I've heard some good stuff about the way it's done.
For me it's more a geeky self-referentiality, so I'm cool with that ;) And considering the amount of cools stuff they crammed into the movie the comic is bound to be chock full of awesome. And from what I hear the ladies are even more present and do many an awesome thing. I'll get back to you on it though!
I was actually thinking of getting all of Detective Comics, since I heard good things. I thought it was an independent run. So it's more of an event type of thing? With different characters all having their own issues? I saw the first page for the catwoman run yesterday actually, and yes, the art looks amazing.
