For a few years now, I have gathered my comic pull list each Fall and posted it for all to see. Here are a few thoughts - 1) This is the first year in awhile that my DC titles outnumber my Marvel ones. I am generally a Marvel guy. DC has grabbed some of the premier Marvel writers like Bendis, Robinson and Whedon, and has done a number of things to constantly shoot themselves in the foot. 2) Until last year, Image was generally a sizeable portion of my list. My comic shop guy doesn't seem to stock Image like he used to (or something). As I think Image hasn't been very reliable with the monthlies, it's hard to blame him. 3) This exercise used to be a fun one and let me share my faves with a larger group. These are all fairly recent titles. In 2018, can you imagine Marvel letting a comic get to 25 titles without relaunching it? No, that is less believable than the stories of mutated aliens within. DC isn't much better. In any case, here you go (with absolute no reliability for accuracy guaranteed).

The stuff I am reading every month.  So many good Image titles.  I should probably read more of them, but you know, money and time; although Image could be doing a little bit better job of promotion.  Also, trying to spread some love to the indies.  Marvel is about to do a big reboot in October or so, and I am excited about that, so will probably ty a few of those.

Annual posting of comics that I am reading regularly.

Two cent commentary- I think my comic buying in the last 12 months has been a bit more adventurous than this list suggests. In any case, things to be learned. Yes, not really a DC fan right now, but that will change as writers transition in and out I am sure. Good showing by Image. I would like to pick up more of their titles, but for now, these are the ones. I assume Niles' Frankenstein mini-series has silently dropped, but including it for now.
