Yeah, me too. I'm busy building my 100 Bullets trade collection, and this might be a good site to do that on.

Submitted my first assignment for the course last night. Was pretty fun doing it.
Also, I've been reading Pretty Deadly and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. What are you guys reading?

I read about 60 issues of Invincible. Great book, I'd recommend it to anyone. That is exactly what a superhero book should be like.
Which volume of Uncanny X-Men? The most recent stuff?
I had to write about a page from Will Eisner's the Spirit and what the page meant when read on its own.

Im on the stuff (i think that) you recommended, Dark Phoenix saga, Messiah complex...

Yeah, that would've been me.
Those are some great stories right there. I miss really good X-Men stories. Nothing wrong with what's on the market right now, but I miss the old stuff. The whole 'academy' vibe. The closest is Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men that stopped earlier this year.

I've read the first two, which were awesome.
What's everyone reading?

Duuuuuude.... The new comics are INSANE!!! The way that story has evolved is truly incredible... I cant wait for the second Wednesday of every month for the new issues... I just need more and more... And now the TV show is literally taking pages right out the comics and throwing them on screen! I'm loving the cross overs!

I've recently started on some of the DC New 52 comics (specifically some of the Batman ones, Justice League, Flash, Green Lantern etc)
Now I want to start on the Marvel NOW comics, but I'm a bit lost as to what to get and what not to. Any advice?

You've come to the right place.
Here are a few books which I think you'll like:
Hickman's Avengers
Rocket Raccoon
New Avengers
All-New X-Men
Hawkeye (which is now ending)
The Amazing Spider-Man (which is in the middle of a great event called Spider-Verse).
What particularly do you like? I can narrow down a bit then.

Thanks, was hoping to get some insight
I do like me some Spider-Man, so I was going to get everything related to Spidey.
Furthermore, Avengers, yes, but are there other series which are prerequisite for Avengers? (like in DC with Justice League, with some storylines they'll jump from JL to Aquaman and back for a couple of weeks covering a specific storyline) Because I know if you don't follow those issues (or the run up to it) you get lost on the story very quickly.
What confuses me on choice is that they've got a couple of different versions for a specific hero or group (like Avengers, Avengers Arena, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Young Avengers, Avengers Assemble, the list goes on).
Which is the best :
Avengers
X-Men
Wolverine
Deadpool (just the one as far as I know?)
Spider-Man
Guardians of the Galaxy (just the one as well?)
And then are any of the Iron Man / Hulk comics any good (i.e. members of the Avengers that could tie into the Avengers storylines?)
TheAvenged87

Which is the best :
Avengers - Avengers and New Avengers.
X-Men - Not that good right now. The best version is All-New X-Men.
Wolverine - ENDING
Deadpool (just the one as far as I know?) - JUST GET IT.
Spider-Man - Amazing is probably the premier book...look into the Spider-Verse tie-ins and probably read the Superior Spider-Man run-up to this book.
Guardians of the Galaxy (just the one as well?) - There is the GotG book, then a Star-Lord book, then an amazing Rocket Raccoon book.
Hulk is okay, I guess. Don't go into Iron Man just yet, nothing to write home about. Instead, I recommend the superb Daredevil series.
