so what do ya'll like to read?
i tried getting into western comics over the last year but it doesn't really hit for me. i was reading hickman's x-men shit till rona hit even though it was pretty shit. the stuff directly by hickman was alright to sometimes good but was often times self-fellating with little to no payoff. i heard his fantastic four stuff was good but i don't really wanna go back to the same well.
i balanced that out with some older stuff goin back to the 70s and some random stuff to see if there was anything that piqued my interest, like bloodshot, older and newer green lantern. seems like the best stuff i've read is various stand alone batman stories just because they're self-contained. i don't get the point of having long running formats if continuity and story aren't a prominent feature of them.
generally speaking what i like about manga is long running continuity and payoffs for paying some attention and/or autistic attention to detail, and with western comics i don't know if it's a case of i just haven't found series that reward that or if i'm just barking up the wrong tree.
