I've been reading Green Lantern and the GLC since last year,and I must say, I'm not bored with the way things are going with this Color Lantern business. I liked the way the blue-skinned Guardians are acting like jerks that they couldn't see how much trouble they are causing the Corps and themselves. Sinestro has become a joke to a badass villain recently.

I also checked out the mess Marvel's Secret Invasion. Even though Bendis has created an interesting yarn about the Skrulls invading Earth, I just feel that the story can just be written in four to six issues without turning this into a whole bloody event. But the tie-ins are interesting, especially Black Panther and MI-3: Excalibur.

What other books do you guys read?

I'm buying up graphic novels for my reading these days, and here si what I've recently read:

Civil War + tie-ins
- This is probably one of the better storylines in years. Lots of interesting side stories to it as well on lesser characters.

House of M / Decimation M + tie-ins
- Haven't got all of the tie-ins just yet (because they haven't all been released as graphic novels yet), but as a longtime X-Men fan, another extremely interesting storyline and different takes on lesser characters and their history.

X-Men: Emperor Vulcan
- Was never a fan of any of the X-Universe 'outer space stories' and while this was a short read, it was kind of boring. I'm not a fan of the Shi-Ar, Havok, The Starjammers et all, so that's probably why my dislike.

Ultimate X-Men: Vol 1 - 18
- Excellent series, great artwork, the best X-Men series going right now IMO.

The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic
- While I read most of these previously, some stories are enjoyable whereas many of the side stories/lesser characters are really boring. Especially kids like Generation Next. I wouldn't recommend it while there is so much else out there to get to first.

X-Men: Messiah Complex
- This ties in with the House of M stuff, and is another solid read as I enjoy Sinister greatly.

Secret War
- Kind of bland compared to Civil War, I'd have to say this was slightly uninspired. I did like the fact they got to use a lot of lesser villains though and tie them all together in the masterplan.

Avengers: Dissassembled
- Good story, important deaths. Not a waste of time at all.

X-Men: Endangered Species
- Not as good as Messiah Complex, but entertaining nonetheless even though it mainly focuses on the Beast and trying to find a 'cure'.

Next one up for my reading is:

New Avengers: Illuminati
House of M: Incredible Hulk

I used to collect tons of comic books as a kid thinking they could someday be worth money. I don't think I ever read through an entire comic book though.
