I’ll start with One World Under Doom. I picked it up recently and really enjoyed it. It feels like a classic Marvel event story but with a new energy. I’m curious if anyone else has read it yet and what you think of the direction they’re taking with Doom.

I have two that don't get alot of attention that i know of

News From the Fallout: its a post apocalyptic story set after a nuclear bomb is set off in Nevada, its a six issue series

Space Ghost: The second volume just started and I've enjoyed it so far, hits in a nostalgic way

I started News From the Fallout but forgot to get the 2nd issue when it first came out and got behind. Is it pretty good? The Space Ghost covers look amazing!

If anyone’s been curious about trying something outside Marvel and DC, Image has been putting out $1 first issues for a lot of their titles. It’s a great way to sample new stories without spending much.

The Unnamed Universe line has been really solid so far. Geiger, Redcoat, Junkyard Joe, and Rook: Exodus are all great series.

They’ve also got some great standalone series like Lost Fantasy if you’re into that genre.

Image is doing some of the best world-building right now. Definitely worth checking out if you want something different.

Really enjoyed Recoat and Rook, though fell off a bit just due to so much other stuff. Never could get into Geiger as much, and haven't checked out Junkyard Joe yet. I need to catch back up on Ghost Machine and get up to speed!

Lost Fantasy is fantastic! Really enjoying it.

If I were to hand anyone a few trades of books to just give a try, those would be:

Far Sector: If you want to see what Lanterns will probably be like and meet one of the coolest new Green Lanterns of the last decade in an alien crime thriller, Far Sector is the book to read. Also, it's absolutely stunning with Jamal Campbell's art.

Once & Future: Again, another artwork powerhouse from Dan Mora, but this time, what if all of the fairy tales and legends of King Arthur were real and a secret organization had been guarding mankind from their presence all these years? You'll also meet Bridgette, who lives in a senior living home and yet has gun caches stashed outside and knows where all of these secrets actually are. Brilliant.

Something Is Killing the Children: If you're looking for something on the horror side, this series consistently rips your heart out of your chest and keeps you hooked like few other books on the market. It's stunning too, and the premise of an order of monster hunters that kill monsters only kids can see? Insanity in the best way.

I see Something is Killing the Children every time I go to my local shop and have been considering starting it. I may give it a shot next time I'm in there.

Junkyard Joe is pretty good and I think it's only 6 issues. I've only read the first issue of Lost Fantasy, but it definitely has potential! I'll probably pick up the trade paperback.
