Just curious what everyone is into these days. We don't have a comic shop here so I'm buying trades off Amazon. Currently following (in trade) :
Batwoman
Earth 2
The Flash
Action Comics
And from Image:
Chew
Fatale
Saga
Not a lot, but I'm in school right now so this is all I can afford. If I can get a job (and may possibly move back to Alberta) I may pick up single issues again or get into more series (in trade) like Wonder Woman, the Aquaman titles and possibly the new Teen Titans book.

I used too, though I too am poor now, read:
Justice league
Justice league of America,
Nightwing,
Green lantern,
The flash,
Aquaman,
Super girl,
Injustice,
Arrow,
Vibe,
Earth 2,
And when there are multiple series to one story, I will pick up the other series as well for that time.
I do like aquaman. I gave WW a go and couldn't get into it. I have heard that teen titans is good.

I couldn't get into Wonder Woman for a while either but yesterday I sat down and read the first 21 issues and found it much better reading them all in one sitting. When I read them before I read each one about a month apart and could barely what happened in the previous issues. Now I want to read the rest of Azzarello's (sp?) run.

If you're in Edmonton, check out Happy Harbour Comics. Out of the 4 or 5 comic shops I checked out when I was there they were the best. Great staff and service.

I've cut down a lot. I just haven't enjoyed a lot of the titles left in the New 52 and kind of starting to feel fatigued with superhero stories. I am picking up a lot of older stuff/back issues now though. But the titles I pick up now are:
The Flash
Detective Comics
Batman
Swamp Thing
Saga
Still deciding if I want to pick up Justice League United, I might need to get my Animal Man fix that way.

Picked up Velvet #1-5 (from Image, written by Ed Brubaker) about a female spy who has to come out of retirement after being framed for murder. Excellent series so far. Gorgeous art and colors.
Also got Batman: Eternal #1-7 which is pretty good. Its a bit confusing as the first two or three issues all happen during the same night and it seems like every issue after that takes place on a separate night(s). Other than that, the writing is solid. And its nice to see Stephanie Brown in the DCU again.

So I might pick it up in trade. Does the plot progress quickly from issue to issue? |

It moves fairly quickly and a lot happens, but its not hard to follow.
