I've recently ordered the entire Deadpool Secret Invasion and Dark Reign run. And I loved it!
Especially the artist, Carlo Barberi, who's a perfect fit for the character.
Uh, the first one is from Liefeld. I'm already looking forward to that one.
I guess it starts with what that page calls Volume 2. I have the originals so back then it just started on Issue #1 and is usually refered to as Vol. 1. (Stupid convoluted comic book numbering system. They even have 649.1 issues now.) Anyways that other Vol.1 is probably still good though. Probably covers his relationship or lack there of with Siren.
There a bit more expensive than the usual TPBs I get from amazon. I'll put them on the list and order them later.
Did you read "Monkey Business"? It's a 'Pool/Spidey Crossover and therefor has to be awesome.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I'm checking out some more 'Pool stuff on Amazon. There seem to be quite a few hardcovers around. And there is so much, I'm not sure what to read. Deadpool Corps, Deadpool Team-Up... and then there's the running series in Germany and I'm not sure what actually will be in those.

I may have read "Monkey Business". Sounds like that time Deadpool fought a monkey...
Those titles are from what I call the Deadpool fatigue era. Somehow he magically became the most popular character at Marvel and then they overdid it. He's seriously had 5-6 monthly titles there for a while. I recommend sticking to Joe Kelly's Deadpool.
I think I'll give Monkey Business a shot, since it's still from me favourite Deadpool creative team. Still, old Deadpool sounds like fun. I haven't read much of his old stuff, but he was brilliant every time he showed up. Like the Dardevil and Punisher crossovers.

Has anyone read Time Beavers? That stuff is awesome!

Zatanna continues to be a blast, and I still enjoy I, Zombie a massive amount as well. Brightest Day is wrapping up soon -- sequel/follow up already announced.
Quite taken with some of the Flashpoint alternative titles -- http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/page/3/ -- good to see Dan Abnett writing for DC again.

Straczynski's DC books are getting scathing reviews. WW is as bad as they say but I didn't think Superman was really that all that bad. It's not that good either mind you. Dropped both. Sorry, that's no DC for me s8n .
Saw something from Vertigo that looked like it might be interesting: DMZ. Appears to be about the second American civil war, anyone read it?
I should probably get All-Star. Didn't pick up on it right away because I didn't really know what it was, but I guess it's kind of like "Ultimate DC". Don't bother getting WW or Superman.
Don't know if you've heard of it Anung but the best JLA story ever was written by Straczynski and didn't even have the JLA in it! Get "Supreme Power" if you have a chance.
Yes, All-Star is pretty much DCs ultimate but we can all thank the new Gods that it stopped. Why I'm sure All-Star Superman can be enjoyed a some people, it also brought us the atrocity know as All-Star Batman.
Superman is one really weird story. It's very Silver Age-y, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the Brave and the Bold-cartoon. Some people say it is the definite Superman story, but somehow I feel Red Son does a better job of explaining the character.
I used to be more into comics but kind of died off when i found my copy of wolverine #3 behind my mates bathroom door all scrunched and ruined! couldn't afford to replace it. but i was into old comics my nan (rest her soul) used to get from the second hand bookshop for me, old Black canary and Deadman comics! great stuff very dark, and recently i've just re- read the DV8 series, good but it got very weak towards the end of the series. i'd love to see what else is good out there?

So I was in a comic book shop for the first time in a long time the other day and noticed a comic that I thought might be interesting. Has anyone read the Dungeons and Dragons comic that is fairly new and what are your thoughts on it? Is it worth it? Thanks for any advice.

I didn't think a Captain America movie could overcome the inherent cheesiness of Captain America but quite frankly that movie looks like it could be really good.
The core of the character really isn't that cheesy once you get past the costume. The serum is a sci-fi element, but note that it doesn't actually make him superhuman...just essentially a perfect human.
Now, certainly the character's been handled in cheesy ways over the decades. But Ed Brubaker finally elevated that book to what it could have been a long time ago. Although I think the book has leveled off a bit since Bucky took the shield.
Anyway, I like most everything I've seen about the movie* and think they seem to be taking the right approach...but I'm gonna reserve judgment until I see it. I'm a Cap curmudgeon. There...I said it.
*Steve Rogers is crazy puny. I think they're taking visual cues from the John Byrne origin from the '80s, but I preferred the origin treatment in "The Adventures of Captain America" from the early '90s. In that, he was a tall, skinny beanpole...so the serum just filled him out rather than lengthening his femurs, etc. I admit this is all nitpicking, mind you.
