    DC seems to really be banking on this Supes/WW thing as being something longterm. It's something that could've been done years ago though I always thought a WW/Batman pairing would be more intriguing.
    I liked that pairing in the Justice League cartoon. Superman/Wonder Woman just gives Bat "forever alone" man more reason to be paranoid and maybe jealous, which is a good thing.

          Yep, and that musician woman who was SUPPOSED to be his committed relationship got such a backlash that the writers dropped the idea for the most part. Hell she was killed in the just concluded Mad Hatter arc in THE DARK KNIGHT book.

            So Age of Ultron ends today, feels like it should take 10 more issues to really figure itself out though. Interested to see how they wrap it all up.

              Is that the vantriloquist story arc that got you? I was interested in that story, but never picked up the books.

                  That's not forever alone.

                  Yup. I like the Vantriloquist character. It also did a good job of continuing the events from the Joker thing.

                    I burned myself out by purchasing too many titles during the New 52 and lost interest. I'm thinking that if I limit myself to 5-8 titles and not having to worry about getting to the comic book store every week or so (pain in the *** in my area). Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel have got me hyped about comics again.

                    Edit: Also what titles would you recommend? Superman, Green Lantern, X-Men and Iron Man are automatic for me.
                    Would appreciate any input on tablets or recommendations of good titles. Thanks again.

                      People say Hawkeye and Daredevil are pretty great and Green Arrow starting at #17.
                      Marvel is having a 1 & 2 sale right now on a bunch of stuff. Got Hawkeye & Daredevil free and got the #2's in the sale but haven't read them yet so I can't vouch for their quality but plenty of others do.

                          Batman is a great book, the court of the owls stories from the first volume are amazing.

                          Clone (Image): Great/intriguing story and one of Kirkman's works.

                          Thief of Thieves, something like Ocean's 11, 12, and 13 but in a comic book. Very good writing and story.

                          Talon (DC): From the pages of Batman, this is a completely new character that has become pretty popular. Good character for new readers IMO.

                          Indesctrucible Hulk: AWESOME book! Hulk becomes an Agent of Shield because Banner wants to be remembered as someone who gave back to humanity and not the alter-ego of the Hulk - who only destroyed society.

                          Justice League and JLA: Two great books, action-packed, great characters, art, intriguing story, big event coming this summer (Trinity War).

                          Injustice: This comic has been great. Any fan of the game should be reading it.

                            Continuity can be a bitch sometimes. I think there are FAR too many Avengers related material out there. In the main Uncanny Avengers book the team is on the verge of splitting to pieces while in Cable and X-Force that same fractured group is out to grab Cable! It's kinda confusing if you don't compartmentalize things. Oh and you just gotta love the cameo of those 1980s vehicles in that Cable issue!

                            Anyways, what I really wanted to talk about was the Batman and... book right now. It's a bit angsty but i'm really enjoying the whole "Batman gone unhinged" storyline in the wake of Damien's death. Peter Tomasi has Bats down perfectly in regards to how he's reacting to it all as I can see Bruce totally shutting down and being cold and suicidal in his quest to avenge Damien/rid Gotham of crime FOREVAH! The showdown between Bats and Batgirl last issue was VERY good.

                            I just don't know how Tomasi can wrap this up short of Batman nearly getting killed or getting a replacement Robin. I guess we'll see.

                                Thank you. Hulk really intrigues me. I LOVE Hulk, but wondered how they could write interesting stories year after year.
