Andre Lynch. I am currently reading the newest Moon Knight. I chose Moon Knight because I love the unreliable narrator. If reality is all perception than is he right? Is he wrong? You can’t be sure.
I grew up in a house with severe mental illness and I’ve seen that look of fear and confusion in person. Moon Knight is one of the few characters I’ve read that has an actual disorder. I’m sure there are more but I’m just now starting my comic adventures.
This was my first Con and I cannot wait for the next. So glad I could be a participant this year!
Thanks for the entry and the story behind it.
Andre Lynch was the Moon Knight Cosplay 🙂
Thanks cruzzer

E Cooper.
Lots of good books to choose from… Right now Drifter is at the top of my list. That Star Wars/Mad Max/Western feel is one of my favorites. I’m also enjoying The Fix, Superman, and Amazing Spider-Man amongst so many others.
John Dye
Nice pics Im enjoying the pic of Silk and Poison Ivy…Hubba Hubba…Uh…Anyway.
Currently I am reading Black Hammer – Second issue was the Origin of Golden Gal. Just love this out of wack superhero team which I can’t get enough. I can def see this as a Movie or even a cartoon. Awesome writing and Art.
Animosity issue 2 – Blew me away, dont want to spoil the story – Just great story and superb artwork.
Tons more have my attention – Darth Vader, Star Wars (epic stormtrooper cover), Glitterbomb for sure, who can’t resist the Walking Dead Variant covers? Loving this years Indie comics.
Louie Martinez
Lazarus – great world building and references at the end of each book. Would make a great series.
Great pics Cruzzer! Love the psylocke cosplay
Her Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/jerikandra/
thanks! i will follow her
Rob H
“Once our Land” hard cover graphic novel. Just got a week or so ago and finally got around to reading it! Was looking forward to it for a while! Outside of that Flash Re-birth has been fun.
Ryan Marron
Vision – stunning artwork and story. The best thing to come from Marvel in years, I think it will be a legendary run when finished.
Kirk Lange
Animosity-Great basis for a story. Love smart animals that want to kill us. Lol.
Nailbiter-How can you not like it!
Doug Standish
Thanks for putting the book up! My go to reads have/always will be Saga and Walking Dead. Great story, great characters, ’nuff said!
Paper Girls – I don’t even make it out of my LCS parking lot before I gotta crack open that book and see what new twists ans turns there are.
Also, really digging The Fix like everybody else. Managed to grab ahold of a lot of the reprints, too.
I would really like to get into Animosity, but, could not get any copies of the book before they sold out. (snuffle, snuffle)
jeff pierce – the vision. awesome story, fresh take on a new character. really digging it.
Brett Evans. I’m currently reading a Kickstarter called “Prospects” by Maxwell Majernik. He’s a Pittsburgh boy, like me. I gave it a shot to support my local comic scene & ended up loving it.
Al Wurst
Paper Girls
The Fix
Walking Dead
Deadly Class
Invincible
Lazarus
Monstress
Goddamned
And
Saga – because BKV is a genius and because it started this new love for comics.
Brian Beck Pascoe
Im still loving Southern Bastards. Great characterization coupled with an interesting plot makes for great books, and Jason Aaron seems to know this.
Matt Riley
Hellboy – Mignola tells a great unique story
Walking Dead – no explanation neesed, but great character driven survival book
Ed Hoplock, currently enjoying Saga, Nailbiter, Daredevil, Green Lanterns, and Suicide Squad
At the risk of sounding repetitive, the fix is my fav now. It was the first book I sent in to be graded (9.8 thankfully). The book is over the top and comical in a way you don’t really see any more, and I get the feeling Roy is not a reliable narrator. Plus underground high stakes battlebot gambling
Dan Piercy
Current fav: Hillbilly – art is complex, yet accessible and I love the mix of applachia with mysticism.
I read a ton of titles each week here’s a few I finished in the last seven days:
Kill or be Killed – Just finished second issue. I really like the Brubaker/Phillips synergy. Don’t like the price tag of this book.
Briggs Land – Brian Wood just picks interesting stuff to make comics about; this title is excellent.
Hadrian’s Wall – in for issue 2.
Battlestar Galactica from Dynamite – love me some BSG. They do a great job capturing the spirit of the series, but the art leaves a lot to be desired.
Suicide Squad – pretty good.
Doom Patrol – loved the play on the Warhol/VU banana cover, decent read.
Spread – pretty excellent, wish Kyle Strahm would return as the regular artist.
Wonder Woman – I didn’t like this at first, but the last couple of issues have been stellar.
Shawn Boilard

I I’m getting ready to read klaus. The final issue came out a few weeks back and now I can start reading. I like to wait until a mini series is all out or a good chunk of a reg series is out before I start reading that way I don’t get left at a cliff hanger.

Right now the first one at the top of my stack is All-Star Batman. I also like King’s run and ‘Tec, but Snyder is the one who got me back into comics in a big way.
Dan Wozniak
Manifest Destiny – unique story that is outstanding
Walking Dead – self-explanatory
Fables (Everafter) – picking up from previous Fables books…first book was good and see where the rest take series

Reading Animosity – love the artwork and incredible storyline. Also, catching up on Deadly Class – great reading and keeping me coming back for more.
Eric Hann Jr.
I’m currently reading just about everything but I would have to say Black Science by Rick Remender and Matteo Scalera is one I really look forward to each month. Pretty much anything they do together or individually is a must for me. Two of the very best in the industry today!
Jodie Webb
Hillbilly
Great story and terrific black and white art.

Kevin Verdine
Fav’s:
90’s valiant series (any)
Amazing Spider-Man
Maus
Animosity as it has unlimited potential if done right and Spiderman Deadpool—who doesn’t love Kelly and McGuiness—the guys who made Deadpool famous in the first place!
Demonic, The Fix, Black Monday Murders, Black Hammer, Kill or be Killed and MANY more, I read these cause I love all different styles of writing and art. Hickman is my favorite conspiracy/puzzle style stories but Brubaker/Phillips is my favorite duo. These guys just know how to do what they do when they do it! Kraig Peterson
alvin danna
That girl dressed as silk
Rian Synnth. I got polaroids of her. No lie 🙂
Currently reading Snotgirl because it’s funny and I’m liking the current build up of the story.
Monstress because each issue keeps me on the edge of my seat
Glitterbomb is shaping up to be a good series. Love the build up the first issue presented.
Chris Bennett
Postal
Paper Girls
Black Hammer and a bunch more. But the best and my fave…
Vision its the best book Marvel has done in years.
I’ve been reading DC Bombshells. I love the new take on the women of DC giving them the focus they deserve.
Stefan Blomberg
Will write down my reads etc when I come home. Nice gallery btw:-)
Superman, because I’m a dad and I totally get the responsibility of raising a child with good morals and ethics.
Chris Brooks
Favorite comic currently is Revival! Have enjoyed this story throughout it’s run and it is sadly coming to an end.
Barry Wiggett, posting as degreesofseparation1968. Agree with the Snotgirl post, funny as H. E. double hockey sticks and also with all the fashion, blogging, died hair, friend dramas etc, remind me of my niece!
Thanks for the pay it forward Cruzzer, top man!
Jason Hazellief
Reading Snot Girl, Animosity
Georges Pearson

Derek Shenenberger

Micronauts from IDW: One of my favorite comics and toys as a kid. Anything to make me feel younger again!
Star Wars: Umm, because it’s STAR WARS.
Saga: Due to peer pressure. lol
Mark Weinstock
Enjoy The Vision, love the family storyline.
Thank You Cruzzer for your generosity.
