I haven't picked up a comic in a few months, any suggestions?
I left off with Infinity, so I think I am going to pick the rest of those up, Battle of the Atom and DC's Forever Evil. But besides those any suggestions? I hear great things about Amazing X-Men, also sex criminals. I used to pick up way too many X-Men and Avengers titles, so I would like to cut those down a bit.
Here are some of the books I think I am going to pick up Wednesday.
Amazing X-Men Saga Avengers Sex Criminals Superior Spider-Man All New X-Men Forever Evil Batman Green Arrow Hawkeye Fantastic Four FF Guardians of the Galaxy Nova Ultimate Spider-Man Walking dead
Any suggestions?! Thanks!!

All of those are good choices for different reasons.
I'd probably wait on the Fantastic Four/FF books, only because they're both ending here soon and the James Robinson relaunch of Fantastic Four isn't too far off. Same goes for Ultimate Spider-Man in April. All the other Marvel titles are having some new #1s (start of a new arc) here shortly so you could always wait for that but a lot of them are pretty accessible.
I'd also suggest Revival since the hardcover collects the first 11 issues and gets you pretty caught up. Fantastic series. Same with Sex Criminals and Saga. Might want to look into Pretty Deadly and Rat Queens too possibly.
Anything else and I'd be happy to help

I'd also suggest picking up The Wake trade if you are into mythology and/or horror comics. East of West is a personal favorite of mine as well. If you are into the whole anti-hero thing then you should check out Thunderbolts #20, its a new #1/jumping on point. I have a feeling that is going to end up being one of my most anticipated title each month.

Saga will always be the first book I recommend to anyone to buy. Walking Dead is getting pretty good, Sex Criminals is great and Thor God of Thunder is Marvel's best book right now.

Action comics with Greg Pak on board has been great and his run just started a couple issues back so easy to catch up. Also Superman Wonder Women has been fantastic. Charles Soule can so no wrong.
I am also really liking Vendittis Green Lantern run.
Good luck finding something you like and enjoy.

Black Widow seems like it's going to be AWESOME. I would add that to the list. Also I'm really enjoying Uncanny X-Men (I know you are trying to cut down on the X-Men stuff) and Rocket Girl is a cool new twist on the "super hero" genre.
I second picking up the Wake trade.

I'll do this as non-spoilery as possible. A new president comes into office and gets a letter from the previous one saying that aliens are real and that a team has secretly been sent into space to find the aliens and only a few select people in the White House are aware of this. This is their (President/team) story. That's about as much as I can say without going into specifics.

Sounds pretty interesting. Seems like something that the thread creator would be into as well. I'm down.

Yes, Letter 44 definitely. Rat Queens too, if not previously mentioned. Shelter and Manifest Destiny are two image titles that are well worth the time too.
