I just read some volumes of Dr. Slump in the memory of Akira Toriyama, since it was one of his first comics before Dragon Ball.

Right now I’m reading some Avatar the Last Airbender comics. Beautiful artwork.

Reading Classic Thor myself. Just got to Ego's debut. Also reading tales of suspense when it was the Namor/Hulk book? Solid stuff

Justice Society: I love the JSA but this is a mess. It's all over the place and Johns doesn't seem able to juggle everything.
Superman 78: the metal curtain: Not as good as the first mini, but so fun to get stories set in the movie-verse.

DC's Ape-ril special: cute issue, not wonderful, not terrible, makes me want to write something with DC's apes.
Nacelle-verse #0: another attempt to take a bunch of characters and create a universe. Weird set of 80's and 90's cartoons merged into a universe that shouldn't work but is actually quite entertaining. Nice intro story. Will be checking out a couple of the spin off minis.
New Teen Titans: a cheap box find. That 90's series when the Atom was de-aged and there was a brand new team trying to be the X-men. Decent, the kids are likable and the cover had a cool looking villain group. If I can find more issues this cheap, I'll keep scooping them up.

Gotham Central Vol. 5: end of the series. Really enjoyed this series. Like the regular people dealing with super hero stuff, and existing on the fringes of the Bat-titles. Bit tricky to keep track of the ensemble cast, as Rene montoya tends to hog the spotlight.
Would love to read or even write a series like this, but set in a more super hero-ish city, so it's got more weird science and super villains.

Some of my FCBD haul:
Crusaderverse: nice to see someone creating a pulp comic universe, but the art is not great and the resdeigns of older characters doesn't really work for me. The supernatural detective who operates out of a cemetery was interesting.
Hellboy/Stranger Things: The Hellboy story was decent. Never watched Stranger Things, so skipped that story.
Jonny Quest: Was thrilled that Dynamite is getting the Hanna Barbera characters. Glad that they have a couple projects planned.
The Valiants: Yet another attempt to jumpstart the Valiant line. Interesting, but I'm not getting my hopes up, as this seems to be the third attempt and all I ever see are the FCBD one shots.

I did start reading the new Thundercats and Space Ghost titles from Dynamite, and both are great revivals.

Couple more:
Spider-man/Ultimates: The Ultimates story was decent, the Spider-man and Venom ones not so much.
Asterix: Fun series. I've only ever read a couple. Some day I need to track the collected volumes down
Conan: They are doing a crossover of Howard characters! Good story that promises some good stuff to come.
Cursed Library: never knew their were so many Archie horror titles out there. Interesting but not rurally my thing.

I semi liked the Archie horror line, as they usually did homages to recent horror media like M3gen and Five Nights at Freddy's. I wished they continued Afterlife with Archie and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, as I would like to see them get continuations.
I liked Tobias's take on the Archie horror line before he passed, as it gave me plans for a Sabrina revival in EveryVerse to restart the horror line.
