Just started 'Om' by Andy Barron. It must be the strangest thing I've ever read but I absolutely love it. Very surreal, similar to the "Frank" books by Jim woodring. -

Read the first volume (the first five issues) of Kerian Gillen's The Power Fantasy. Really good. Basic premise is that there are six people with world-ending capabilities on the planet, and the knife-edge that places everyone including them on. So, superheroes as WMDs, not a new concept, but Gillen executes it brilliantly. The art by Caspar Wijngaard is excellent too, I've wanted to see more from him since his work on Limbo (the limited series by Dan Watters, which is also wicked).
I really should read The Wicked + The Divine finally. Got it sitting around in downloadable form since a humble bundle ages ago. Been a fan of Gillen since Phonogram.
Gillen's an automatic read for me now but i so thoroughly enjoy having a complete run that i'm going to wait on POWER FANTASY for at least a year. If i can.
Maybe.
Probably.
...ish?
You really REALLY should hit WikDiv, it's complete and gloriously insane brilliant.
I have had the first deluxe edition of wicked and divine on my shelves for years, should really get around to it! -

Also read Final cut by Charles burns. Nowhere near as good as Black hole but still well worth a read. -

Started and caught up with Waid's batman/superman worlds finest, some of the arcs were really fun.
Now embarking on road to no mans land and no mans land saga. -

...Also have a Nightwing deep dive on my list - do you have a reading order you are going to follow?
No, i picked a fairly random point... i like Tom Taylor so i picked his run that starts with NIGHTWING (2016) #105. I read a couple of issues just to confirm i wanted to continue, it has a fun action vibe with a WAYNE FAMILY ADVENTURES undertone. I plan to read up to present or close, then backtrack to the Waid and Morrison BAT/'TEC runs. i REALLY hate how much crossover stuff DC works in tho, it is annoying and mostly just bad comics dragging down good. If you have an order you're following pls share.
I'll go deep, i think, once i finish (semi hate read) the End of Krakoa/Fall of the House of X Xbooks, then will revisit this. The xbooks are all over the place for this phase... little glimmers of good writing with a pile of blunt 'we're phoning this in and we know it' work i'm mostly skimming.
I don't have an order and haven't started yet, but was probably going to use the comic book herald order which I have used for other runs in the past.
