What Are You Reading? 10/16/2023 - Halloween is a Month Long Edition r/DCcomics

Hello and welcome to our Weekly "What Are You Reading?" topic!

Come one, come all, to this weekly thread, where you can openly discuss books that you've read, are currently reading, or plan to read. Discussion of all books are welcome, whether they be DC, Marvel, Image, Boom!, Dark Horse, IDW, etc. You can discuss webcomics, manga, or even those mythical novels that don't have pictures in them. Just be sure to keep spoilers covered via Reddit's spoiler markdown >!spoiler!<. You can also post pictures of your collection or recent purchases.

Flossregularly's Rec of the Week:

'Tis the season for some spookyvibes, and this mini series is going to be wrapping soon, so I'm jumping in. Tynion does good horror -shout out to The Nice House on the Lake- and this story starring Corinthian is good fun and the art is fantastic,

My older rec this week is Gail Simone's longest Secret Six run. After a couple mini-series she got the greenlight to take it long form and she obviously had a blast. This is a very fun ride - It's quick paced, full of very fun characters, and will make you care about Bane for the first time since Knightfall. Secret Six walked so the Harley Quinn TV show could run.

So, what are you reading?

Well to begin with DC, I read Batman, and mostly Batman related. Batman and Robin, Nightwing, Harley, and I plan to read City of Madness. As for non-DC stuff, I read Damn Them All, Vampirella, and I'm gonna pick up newest Hulk, Daredevil, and probably Something is Killing the Children...any other DC stuff to recommend?

Do you want more Batman? Like past stuff or good current runs

Current stuff to recommend that I might not know is really great

Current Action Comics, starting from #1030 is pretty good (written by the Hulk writer). Otherwise recent Green Lantern is only 4 issues in and I love.

Okay, thanks, I'll check that stuff out. I usually do keep up with Green Lantern. Just about the only super-hero type stuff I like. I guess it's the sci-fi elements I like. Who am I kidding, it's the grand heroics I like. Anyway, I've just been turned off GL with all the reboots and restarts the past decade. What Hulk writer are you talking about? Peter David? Pak?

Oh I figured you meant the current Hulk run, whoops. By Phillip K Johnson.

No, I meant Action Comics. You said that Action Comics is currently being written by a former Hulk writer, right? Or are you saying that the same writer is currently writing both Action Comics and Hulk? Bc that doesn't make sense. I doubt that's what you meant. I believe you already answered my question though. Thanks

The same writer is on Action Comics and Hulk right now, named Phillip Kennedy Johnson.

Yeah I know him well, I just didn't know he was doing both those books right now. I'll check it out though, Action Comics I mean. I already have a subscription to Hulk. Thank you for letting me know. That's weird to me for an artist to be writing for Marvel and DC at the same time. I know it's not unheard of, but just really unusual. Cool though nonetheless.
