Great comics You're not reading damn you.

I should point out to my one valued reader, this title isn't actually aimed at you since you read at least one of these. However, with She-Hulk cancelled and Ms. Marvel embarking on a potentially ruinous change in status quo I thought I'd list 3 comics that are getting good reviews but not seemingly the readership. Now I've not heard that any of these are up for cancellation, but in these trying times there is always a risk. Notably none of these are Dark Reign tie-ins and that always means they run the risk of being dropped in favour of tie ins.



Guardians of the Galaxy



Ok, this and Nova (Will be discussed later) have their own big event in War of Kings. However Marvel's cosmic events don't pick up quite the audience of their earthbound cousins. Anyway, Guardians spun out of Annihilation: Conquest in much the same way that Nova spun out of Annihilation. Its been that rare thing, a title that is both a lot of fun and still has some serious plot points. Fun comes from the team not being particularly friendly and hence quite a lot of bickering. There is also the rather heavy concept that there are huge tears in the universe thanks to too many big cosmic events, and the Guardians have to seek them out and seal them. Then the team disbanded, sort of, but we still follow ex-members while focusing on the current team. Overall a very enjoyable title. Slightly duff teams are always a laugh but its fun not to have every character being deeply introspective. It also uses inserts of post-mission debriefings for great comedy effect. The seamless balance of comedy and epic cosmicness is a really good read. Fianlly, it has Rocket Raccoon and a psychic russian dog.



Nova

The first Annihilation event spin off has been a good consistent read thought. I previously had no real interest in Nova, but Post Annihilation I was intrigued to see where he would go from there. Yes, he has been very similar to Kyle Rayner of Green lantern during his last of the green lanterns phase, but Nova has really gone off in a different direction. The latest plot looks like a doozey, it may well take nova into conflict with the Newly reformed Nova Corps and Worldmind itself, all while managing to seamlessly interact with most of the major cosmic and non cosmic events.

Captain Britain and MI-13

This is one that has a good community fighting to make sure it survives. Paul Cornell has really done a good job making me care about a bunch of characters who I barely registered before. The comic has a suitably British voice, and thankfully with Cornell, its properly British, not a cartoon version designed for Americans as so often gets editorially mandated. One of the best titles Marvel is putting out at the moment and its just started a new story arc. No one will laugh at you for buying a comic starring a character called Captain Britain.
