Right now, I’m reading the New 52 Batman and a couple of Marvel Now series. I recommend them since it’s basically a retelling of the Superheros beginnings and great if you want to start comics. For DC’s new 52 I recommend- Batman by Scott Synder, Justice League by Geoff Johns, Aquaman by Geoff Johns ,Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison and Batman and Robin by Peter J.Tomas and Superman Earth One by J. Michael Straczynski.For Marvel Now, i recommend- Captain America by Rick Remender, Nova by Jeph Loeb, Thanos Rising by Jason Aaron, Hawkeye by Matt Fraction , Guardians of the Galaxy and of course Age of Ultron.All of Marvel Now stuff is good although i didn’t like Savage Wolverine or Uncanny Avengers.
For Batman - I don’t think i came across a Batman comics that i didn’t like except for Frank Miller’s All Star Batman and Robin.Check out Jeph Loeb’s and Tim Sale’s series- The Long Halloween, Haunted Knight and Dark Victory. Grant Morrison’s ( a great writer) Batman Incorporated, Batman and Son, Batman RIP and Batman and Robin series are great. Fraank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.Oh! and The Killing Joke by Alan Moore.
There’s alot of X-men! But my favorites are Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon (The Avengers director, also created Buffy The Vampire Sayer), X Men Days of Future Past.
Avengers VS Xmen. Haven’t read alot of Wolverine, but Wolverine-Old Man Logan by mark millar is awesome. Ed Brubaker’s Capt. America is great.
Non super hero related- Blankets by Craig Thompson, Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol, Saga by Brian K Vaughan (note- contains nudity), Y The Last Man by Brian K Vaughan, Revival by Tim Seely, Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, Hark! A Vagrant! by Kate Beaton , Transition by Alec Longstrength.They have an ongoing Docter Who comic series as well as some for Star Wars and Star Trek.There’s also this run called Before Watchmen which focuses on ALan Moore’s Watchmen universe, it focuses on one character- I reccommend the Dr. Manhattan run and the Minutemen run Whew!
