I'm not much into comics these days. My last one was Crossgen's Sojourn. I've been collecting the Saiyuki Reload manga series since. Oh, and not to mention my friends' own creation: Mangaholix.

The only new comics I've been into have been the recent rash of Golden Age revival books by Marvel, like The Torch and some of the Sub-Mariner one shots, and occasionally Booster Gold (if I hear good reviews for that particular issue off the forums).

I pretty much gave up on comics altogether at the turn of the millennium. The art was, on the whole, getting progressively worse, and the stories were leaning back into multi-issue plotlines that pulled way too much money from my pocket. I broke that briefly to buy Formerly Known as the Justice League and I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League, but then DC went and killed off practically every character I'd liked, and Superboy-Prime punched reality...

Give me hokey Silver Age books anyday.

I've been reading a lot of The Boys lately. The first issue of Victorian Undead was interesting. And the first two of Atom Eve and Rex Splode have been top notch.

I was sorry to see Crossgen fold. I didn't like everything that they did but they had a few very good titles. I was hoping that Disney would resurrect some of them but apparently not.
