Twitter's 10 Favorite Current Comic Book Series - May 2013
This is a great time to be reading comic books. However, there are so many excellent comics out right now that it is difficult to keep up with every good series. I constantly wonder what I am missing, and I know others must feel the same. Sometimes it is helpful to just try whatever is most popular, but it also helps to know what people with particular tastes like that others may not.
I asked some people on twitter to give me a list of their 10 favorite current comics, and I received almost 40 responses. This is no scientific study, but looking at the responses you should be able to find popular comics that you may not be reading. You should also be able to find individual lists that are particularly similar to what yours would be, and from there find new titles you'll like.
Here's a rundown of the most popular inclusions from all the lists (out of 37 total lists):
Saga (26)
All New X-Men (16)
Manhattan Projects (16)
Batman (15)
East of West (14)
Superior Spider-Man (13)
Daredevil (12)
Thor God of Thunder (12)
Hawkeye (11)
Mind MGMT (10)
Avengers (10)
Young Avengers (8)
The Massive (7)
Rachel Rising (6)
Captain Marvel (6)
Batman and Robin (6)
Batman Inc. (6)
Deadpool (5)
Star Wars (5)
FF (5)
New Avengers (4)
Locke and Key (4)
Fables (4)
Uncanny X-Men (4)
The Walking Dead (4)
Invincible (4)
Indestructible hulk (4)
Nowhere Men (3)
The Sixth Gun (3)
Unwritten (3)
Fatale (3)
Prophet (3)
Batgirl (3)
Batwoman (3)
The Flash (3)
Justice League (3)
Captain America (3)
Fantastic Four (3)
Chew (3)
TMNT (3)
...and a bunch more that were picked once or twice.
Lots of Image and Marvel. Not a lot of DC, however.
Here are all of the twitter responses. Go follow any of these people if you like to chat about or hear about comics.
Comic readers, tell me your 10 fav (ranked or not) current comics. I want to gather up a bunch of peoples' lists in a blog post this weekend

Anyway, this was fun to do, but I had so many more responses than I was expecting it took a long time to finish this post. It's ok though, since the high number of responses made the final results much better! I might just have to do this again sometime this fall.
