Since I discuss comic books so frequently, both here and on my own site, I thought it would be a cool idea to let you guys know what my own personal pull list is. I am currently getting 12 comics regularly (with some change-ups likely to happen soon, but we're talking about this exact moment) and two others that I am considering and highly recommend. I'm going to list them in order from least favorite to favorite and give synopses and reasons that I like each comic after each entry. You can consider each of these comics highly recommended by me. I don't regularly purchase comics I don't like.

Also, as I am currently still living with my parents until I finish college, I also read the comics that my father reads. There are some comics that I would be purchasing myself if he were not collecting them, and I want to drop those quick recommendations right here. Those are: "Doctor Strange," "Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps," "Daredevil," "Titans," "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Aquaman."

14. "Cyborg"

This is the first of the two that I would like to be getting but am currently not. This one is not likely to become a pull for me, but I still greatly recommend it. "Cyborg" has been a great read so far, and the creative team change of "Rebirth" looks to be continuing that trend of quality. Truly, the only reason I'm not likely to get it is because of finances and there being other books that I like more. This book is taking Vic Stone back to the basics as he tries to rediscover himself and who he is as a person in addition to a super hero.

13. "Uncanny X-Men (Superior)"

This is the other one I'm not currently pulling, but I'm really considering it. Also, the comic itself isn't called "Uncanny X-Men: Superior," but the trades for it have "Superior" on the spine. I don't know why.

This book is written by the very talented Cullen Bunn, and, don't worry, Greg Land isn't doing the art anymore. With Magneto as the leader and hard-nosed members like Psylocke and Sabretooth, you can bet this is a grittier X-Men comic. It is, in a good way. This team is sort of like an X-Men book with the flare of Rick Remender's "Uncanny X-Force." Cullen Bunn has a good grasp on the characters, and he gives Magneto the respect he deserves. This team is protecting what is left of the mutant race while the Terrigen Cloud let out by the Inhumans during "Infinity" spreads around the earth and is slowly killing them off. They don't have time for pleasantries or half-measures, and Magneto isn't one to provide those anyway. The only reason I'm not currently getting it is because the dialogue is a little... off at times. However, the comic often more than makes up for it in story quality and tension.

12. "Green Lanterns"

I love a good buddy cop book, and "Green Lanterns" delivers just that. Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz deliver a good "odd couple" team book where both members are charming and easy to root for. With the other Green Lanterns out in space, these two Lantern rookies have to protect the earth in their absence, but they have to learn how to work together first. This book is just plain fun and energetic. Both characters are endearing and the threats are intimidating and interesting.

11. "New Avengers"

This is another really fun book. Sunspot has become the head of A.I.M and has rebranded it as "Avengers Idea Mechanics." To this end, he has recruited his own team of New Avengers consisting of Young Avengers Hulkling and Wiccan, veteran Avenger Hawkeye, Thunderbolts-alumni Sonbird, New Mutant and friend Cannonball and young heroes Squirrel Girl, White Tiger and Power Man (the other one, not Luke Cage). This has turned into a neat little "fight-the-power" book as these Avengers continue to challenge S.H.I.E.L.D at every turn. Fans of the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" will (maybe) be pleased to see Ultimate Reed Richards regularly appear as the villain that fights this group.

10. "Spider Woman"

I like Spider Woman more than Spider-Man. There, I said it. Spider Woman is more interesting, more likable and hasn't been remade into a second Tony Stark as of late. This book is very much a slice-of-life title, with beleaguered and short-tempered protagonist Jessica Drew trying to balance her private investigator job, her super heroing, and, yes, it's true, being a new mother. She has had help in this quest by reporter Ben Urich and former criminal Porcupine. And, for those who are worried, the child hasn't been that intrusive to the story, and he has even been the catalyst for some good plot and character moments.

9. "Nightwing"

2016 has been the year of the much-awaited return of Dick Grayson to being Nightwing and not a non-lethal Winter Soldier clone, and I am so happy about that. This comic balances the dark edges of its Batman influence with the fun and free-flying spirit of Nightwing. He is still trying to end the reign of the Parliament of Owls around the world, and he has an uneasy ally in the masked Raptor. He is trying to rediscover the "Nightwing Way" of doing things instead of Batman's or Spyral's, and this may yet lead him to more trouble. Apparently he is going to be returning to Bludhaven soon, and I'm pretty excited about that too.

8. "The Astonishing Ant-Man"

This is another great slice-of-life book centering around Earth's Smallest Hero, Ant-Man, AKA Scott Lang. He is now based out of Miami where has started a security company with the help of former rogues Grizzly and Machinesmith. He is also struggling to reconnect with his daughter, Cassie, and his bad instincts keep landing him in more and more trouble. Nick Spencer has really put together something special here. I know that it is slated to end soon, but I still recommend people read it before it goes.

7. "Sam Wilson: Captain America"

Another Nick Spencer triumph, this comic follows the increasingly troubled tenure of Sam Wilson as Captain America. This comic has a bite to it, and it's not afraid to take shots at real-world political movements and events that it deems as wrong. The most notable of these is the constant backlash to Sam Wilson being Captain America, the critics of which it has taken to task on many occasions. He's currently grappling with police brutality through battling the "Americops," a private police force sanctioned by the government. He has been aided in this by the new Falcon, Misty Knight and the Demolition Man.

6. "The Champions"

This would probably be up higher in the list if it hadn't just started. That being said, this book is awesome. It mixes old-fashioned heroics with youthful idealism in a magnificent manner. The characters are charming, the idea is cool and the only thing it's missing is Hercules. Humberto Ramos' art doesn't really work for me usually, but he is on his A game here. Read this comic.

5. "All-New, All-Different Avengers"

This has been a really good book. I love the new roster, I love the energy of it and I love the team dynamics. I'm disappointed this roster didn't last longer, as this comic is splitting off into "The Champions" and, simply, "The Avengers" soon. That being said, this book has been great, and I'm hoping both new titles can fill the void that it's leaving. The current story are one-offs of different members dealing with the new Civil War, and they have been among the best parts of that story.

4. "Black Panther"

This comic is among the greatest solo titles I have ever read. It is a fantastic look inside the head of T'Challa, King of Wakanda, as he does everything in his power to hold his country together in the chaos of revolution. A push towards democracy has begun, and he, as the monarch, is doing everything he can to protect his throne. He believes he is the only one who can rule his country properly. If all of this sounds a little morally ambiguous, don't worry, the comic knows it and plays this story well. Read. This. Comic.

3. "The Thunderbolts"

The 90's were a tumultuous time for comic books, but one great thing to come out of the decade was the Thunderbolts, a group of villains trying to go straight (with varying degrees of sincerity on their part). This comic brings back the rough-around-the-edges, colorful and hyperactive spirit of that comic and does it well. Plus, the Winter Soldier is leading the team, and who wouldn't like that? They are continuing Nick Fury's "Man on the Wall" mission by fighting off alien threats while dealing with the increasingly corrupt S.H.I.E.L.D, from which they are fugitives. This comic is also surprisingly gory, and I really dig that.

2. "Power Man and Iron Fist"

I loooove buddy cop comic books, and this is the best buddy cop duo of all time. Hell, this is the best duo of all time: Power Man and Iron Fist. They are bringing justice back to the streets of New York, and they are doing it in style. Sweet Christmas! This comic is fun, the chemistry between Luke and Danny is fantastic and the action is over-the-top and wonderful. This comic would easily be my favorite of the moment if it weren't for...

1. "The Ultimates"

This was a comic that I was looking forward to since its announcement, and it still managed to take me by surprise in terms of just how good it is. Tagged as the team that deals with the biggest problems, Al Ewing manages to balance tangible character tension with big-idea cosmic storytelling with this comic book. This is a team of geniuses and futurists trying to deal with whatever could be on the horizon. Each member has a unique personality to bring to the table, and its "Civil War II" tie-in has proven to be better than the story itself. This is my favorite comic being published at this point in time, and I recommend it to anyone who likes comic books.

So, there you go, my own personal pull list. Was this some ego stroking? Maybe a little, but I imagine some people will think its interesting. Maybe some people will even get a new favorite comic out of it. I certainly hope so. That's kind of always my goal.
