Reading Marvel comics on their app, so I've got pretty much everything apart from the last 6 months on hand. I need more suggestions!
I'm currently reading the Peter David Hulk run. I've also read recently:
Grant Morrison X-Men
Chris Claremont X-Men
Walt Simonson Thor
Frank Miller Daredevil
Bendis Daredevil
Superior Spiderman

If you enjoyed the Bendis Daredevil, then check out Brubaker's run which comes directly after. Then skip the Diggle and Shadowland stuff, and read the wonderful Mark Waid run, which finished a few months back.

Oh, I also read the recent Daredevil stuff up to Shadowland which was horrible and awful  |

It truly was, but Waid makes DD good again! Soule is doing his best to ruin that in the current issues.

And definitely check out the 12 issue Squadron Supreme maxi series by Mark Gruenwald from 85/86, amazing stuff.

If you enjoyed the Bendis Daredevil, then check out Brubaker's run which comes directly after. Brubaker runs seconded here: The Devil Inside & Out is superb. Then read the Brubaker/Fraction Immortal Iron Fist which kind of spins out of it. |

Soule is doing his best to ruin that in the current issues. Finding Soule a very mixed bag. Loved his She Hulk, was much colder on his Death of Wolverine. Cornell should have done that having written lead up. |

His She-Hulk was fab. I just read Death of Wolverine from the library. It was ok but too decompressed and fell to bits at the end.

Yeah, I really enjoyed his She-Hulk too. Wish he'd use his lawyer dayjob knowledge to write a better DD.
Matt, add Soule's She-Hulk run to your read list, 3 people can't be wrong! And Immortal Iron Fist, like Phil said.

What Avengers have you read?
Start with Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 then Avengers 227, Roger Stern's first issue. And keep reading from there till Stern leaves c290. You'll be picking some story threads up in the middle but it's hard to know when to start without wading through some rubbish first.
Martin will back me up on this.

I remember reading New Avengers back when it was new (but who didnt!!) Not really read any avengers apart from that.

Ah. So you've mostly read Avengers when it stopped being proper Avengers and morphed into generic 'Everyone in Marvel is an Avenger' stuff rather than when it was a proper team book.

Yes
I also read the Kovac Saga trade and was confused as I thought it was pretty bad but it's supposed to be a stone cold classic??

Martin will back me up on this. Yes. As far as collected editions in print go The Trial of Yellowjacket Absolute Vision 1&2 The Legacy of Thanos The Once and Future Kang Under Siege Assault on Olympus covering #212-285 are top stuff. Goes downhill with Heavy Metal. Got entertainment value from some slightly earlier stuff though - The Bride of Ultron, The Korvac Saga, Nights of Wundagore as pocket books, then Heart of Stone, between them covering #158-196. The Korvac Saga's existence is justified by the scene where the Avengers commandeer a minibus to get to the bad guy's house. I can't remember the reason - Quinjet licences revoked or some such thing. V. amusing. Martin |

Heavy Metal is great.
Korvac Saga is one of those things best read at a certain age.

V. amusing. Martin's right: Bride of Ultron and in particular Nights of Wundagore are great. But for a solid sustained run you can't beat the Stern issues. Wanting something to read the other night I downloaded Absolute Vision 1 onto my iPad (got in sale a while back) and loved it so much I had to find my floppy copy of v2! |
