The comics I buy

There's no shortage of people who will freely give their opinions on many different comics. Sometimes these people buy the comics they talk about and other times they get review copies. (of course there are some people who talk about comics they've never read, but that's try of pretty much any medium).

I do wonder with a lot of these people, what comics they actually pay to read. Which comics they'd continue to read if they had no review copies and only their own money to spend. I decided to post the comics that I buy. Today I'll post the comics that I buy in single issues; there are a few comics I buy only in trade and I'll post about those next week. This isn't intended to be a long review of any of these titles, just a list of what I'm buying and who is making them. Eventually I'll do a more in-depth look at all these titles in blog posts of their own.

Hawkeye by Matt Fraction (writer) and David Aja (artist)  Published by Marvel.

Green Arrow by Jeff Lemire (writer) and Andrea Sorrentino (artist). Published by DC.

Superman Unchained by Daniel Snyder (writer) and Jim Lee (artist). Published by DC

Sex by Joe Casey (writer) and Piotr Kowalski (artist).  Published by Image.

Mudman by Paul Grist (writer & artist). Published by Image. The last issue, #6, came out in February 2013 but Paul Grist said a couple of days ago that more will be coming; it stays on the list of ongoing comics out of hope more than anything else.

Uber by Kieron Gillen (writer) and Caanan White (artist) Published by Avatar.

Miracleman by Alan Moore (writer) and Alan Davis (artist) Published by Marvel. Alan Moore is uncredited in the book, at his own request.

Hellboy in Hell by Mike Mignola (writer and artist) Published by Dark Horse.

B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth Mike Mignola (writer), John Arcudi (writer) and Joe Querio (artist) Published by Dark Horse.

Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder by Kim Newman (co-writer), Maura McHugh (co-writer) and Tyler Crook (artist).

Baltimore by Mike Mignola (writer) and Ben Stenbeck (artist) Published by Dark Horse. The above Dark horse titles are all part of the same shared universe, Baltimore is not.

Sex Criminals by Matt Fraction (writer) and Chip Zdarsky (artist) Published by Image. Before this series launched searching for it on ebay brought up a lot of criminology text books. This comic is not about that type of sex crimes and is a comedy.

(A quick note on creators. Some of these titles have had multiple artists do different issues; for this post I've just included the artist who is currently drawing the book)
