Pretty much what the title asks...what title are you reading that just is not mentioned enough in our/your comic community? Could be an ongoing or even a recent mini. To clarify, not a book generally acknowledged as good but not being purchased enough (Captain Marvel comes to mind) but a book you like that just seems a bit invisible.
1. Black Acre
2. Sheltered
3. HIT

Nova from Marvel - consistently strong storytelling and I never hear anyone mention it.

Verbatim please, because that whole 'Microseries' business throws me off That was my problem too. I liked Nova, but only so many titles I can pull and read. What connection does Nova and GotG have? That was fuzzy to me. |

HIT I have really been enjoying Black Acre and Sheltered as well. Although parts of Black Acre and Lazarus seem similar (wealthy few using hired muscle to keep everyone else at bay), they each have a distinct feel. I would add Great Pacific and Nowhere Men to this list. |

Wow, yes. Great Pacific! That is a real sleeper pick. Think Tank too, but not sure if it is still an ongoing. I only read the first 2 issues of Nowhere Men but own the trade. I liked it, but when a new series refers to characters by names after only introducing them once, I get lost. I need to work on that...and finish the first trade. The art in that book is excellent.

Glad you're enjoying Great Pacific too. Some parts of it are not executed as well as I'd like, but on the whole I'm enjoying the story. It is kind of like what if Bruce Wayne decided to claim an island of trash for himself instead of becoming Batman? For Nowhere Men, I picked up the first trade too and now will get subsequent issues. As far as getting lost, some of that has to be on the writer and presentation, not just you! And I agree that the art is great in that book. |

Verbatim please, because that whole 'Microseries' business throws me off The main book is just called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The micro series are just stories of peripheral characters that have been in the various arcs and are by no means essential. |

More people should be reading The Bounce from Image comics, great story telling and interesting high concept reality warping shenanigans.

I considered starting over but I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with my titles I pull weekly as of late. I haven't read the last two, but I did hear a few people moaning about Zeb Wells on the title. Either way I'm still a fan till proven otherwise. |

Also enjoying Nova, Sheltered, TMNT, and Great Pacific, tho i think i'm a couple issues behind on almost all of them. The book i don't hear anyone talking about that i love is Suicide Risk from Boom. Really interesting premise, good characters, good story.

Really interesting premise, good characters, good story. Agreed. I bought the first trade cheaply at a con and zipped through it. Not sure I know anyone that also reads that book on a semi-regular basis. |
