    I have been out of the comic game for a minute.
    Recently have been looking over the Freebies at Comixology

    Bought the recent CYBORG series

    What is good out there?

    I read mostly Marvel and a bunch of whatever else is good.

    Secret Wars is the big thing at Marvel right now and it's definitely lived up to the billing IMO. Some well received Marvel that you could binge read right now: Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Superior Foes of Spider-Man.

    Additionally, Marvel has been going heavy on Star Wars content and what I've read has actually been pretty good. Currently, Star Wars: Shattered Empire is like a bridge to the upcoming movie.

    Outside of that I'll list current books that I'm really enjoying:

    Black Science by Rick Remender
    Deadly Class by Rick Remender
    Tokyo Ghost by Rick Remender
    Saga by Brian K. Vaughan
    Paper Girls by Brian K. Vaughan
    East of West by Jonathan Hickman
    The Fade-Out by Ed Brubaker
    The Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen
    Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction
    Archie by Mark Waid
    Lumberjanes

    Turns out I'm a big fan of writers and artists (which I did not list...).

    Brubaker's Captain America run is one of the best.

    Remender's Uncanny X-Force is pretty accessible and was great.

    Some of my other favorites, which are completed:

    Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan
    100 Bullets by Brian Azzarello (to be adapted to movie by Tom Hardy)
    Fear Agent by Rick Remender
    Fatale by Ed Brubaker
    Fables by Bill Willingham (just finished with #150)
    Sandman by Neil Gaiman
    I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly (VERY good graphic novel)

    I think I have melted away from the DC and MARVEL dynamic
    Even though I was giving Cyborg a go

    I am REALLY HATING what marvel is doing to the XMen
    I know it is business but it makes for ****ty story

    Never was a fan of the DC and their BIG three
    I have used my local library to find out about a fee batman stories
    The COURT OF OWLS story line was pretty cool

    I don't think Justice League has ever been as good as it is now, certainly not for such an extended period of time (44 issues so far and it only gets better). The Darkseid War arc they're in now is everything superhero comics should be.

    Snyder/Capullo Batman is pretty great too.

    Reading Secret Wars (which has been surprisingly good) and some of the the ins.

    Currently still reading: Planet Hulk, Age of Apocalypse, Guardians of Knowhere, Deadpool's Secret Wars, and Giant Little Avengers Vs Xmen (wife loves these).
