Welcome! Always happy to have more people here!

My number one recommendation is the One hand & Six fingers comic. They are 2 separate comics with an interwoven story arch. It is a completed story so no waiting on new editions.

If you are into DC and Marvel they both have an alternative universe run at the moment that is pure gold. The Ultimate titles from Marvel and Absolute for DC. From Marvel I also like the Ryan North Fantastic Four series, short one off adventures with an overarching story.

Lastly Image Comics is having some really cool non hero comics, Grommits, Wicked and Divine, Geiger (kinda superhero-ey).

There is so much good stuff at the moment, I hope you will have a blast!

I am currently at the pinnacle of Chris Claremonts Xmen run where they fight Mr Sinister. I was only reading the uncanny Xmen, but then they were suddenly face to face with Xfactor, so I jumped on that as well. Xfactor has been a pleasant read, really liked the mutants introduced there, especially Artie and Leech.

On the side I have been reading Grommits and the 3rd trade paperback of Monstress. Monstress is so pretty and interesting, but also contains a lot of woven storylines and callbacks, so I only read it when I have full focus.

What a fantastic read, and really wanted to share it with someone. It got on my radar via some 2024 recommendation lists. I went in fully blind, not knowing what to expect.

The book had me hooked since page 1. It is intruiging, well written, and full of twists and turns. The way that Ram V and Dan Watters have woven their story is amazing. Same for the art, really captivating, props to Campbell and Kumar.

If you like thrillers and mysteries, or just want a good read, then please give it a go!

Strong songs is fully listener supported with a plug to his patreon once per episode. It is a podcast about what makes some songs better than others. Best if you have some musical understandig as he can get a bit detailed.

Nice progress! Well done, hopefully she warms up even more soon, keep us posted.

If the bite pierced skin it might be worth going to the doctor for a check. According to my vet a catbite that punctured the skin has a near 100% chance of becoming an infection.

Normally in Democracy the majority or popular vote wins, however due to the electoral college America has, it doesnt necessarily mean the majority voted for the winner. This was the case for Bush, and some other moments in the past.

I finished Nocterra book 1 in no time, so now I am off to Batman the long Halloween. On the side I am continuously reading Uncanny Xmen from Claremont and the 2022 run of Doctor Strange.

I am doing the Tedious challenge, collecting things from the collection log via its plugin. Current assignment is 5 uniques from Hard Clue scrolls, and my luck so far has been horrible. 2 times I got the clue scroll that needs a rune heraldic helm, which ironman can only get from hard clue scrolls... looking forward to it finishing.

Yeah both into Nightwing and his run. I have no prior experience with Nightwing. I would like to branch out a little more into the DC world, and your post sparked interest. But cool, I will add him to my want to read list!

Is this an easy part to step into the Nightwing series? It looks well received, and the synopsis sounds like a reset point.

I would start with a hero that you like. I dont think you have to pick either, just read what you like. So if you want to read Superman, just pick him up.

I did a little research on the best (standalone) stories of the heroes I wanted to follow, for example all star Superman, or Batman year 1. If I liked those, I would look at others, or recent editions.

Sometimes they branch out during runs, which would be reason for me to look at something new. For example there was a Black Panther series where he would have interactions with Xmen and Fantastic Four, causing me to read them and evaluate if I liked them.

Honestly it is all still quite overwhelming with how much stuff there is. Just pick something you like to get into it, and see it from there.

Lastly, this community is quite active and has some really good help, so if you pick it up again and are looking for nexts, come find us!

 

On our last excursion we were lucky once again, and found this sleeping beauty. Or lucky, she likes to perch at the entrance, well guarded from the sun.

We got this box with an order of fries, but since then it has been his favorite spot...
