IDW is doing a Judge Dredd ongoing later this year.
So far IDW has been on fire with Godzilla ongoing, Half Century War, TMNT ongoing, TMNT Micro Series, and I'm sure the Dredd ongoing isn't going to disappoint. My homie is into the Ghostbuster series but I haven't checked it out myself. Read a few of their Transformers issues, but I'm trying to limit the amount of books I buy a month.
Current titles I'm getting each month DC
Batman
Swamp Thing
Animal Man

Nah. Really falling away from the Superhero genre. I did follow Daredevil for about 5 or so issues then fell out of it. Aren't they 3.99 per issue? That might be why I stopped buying it.
Never really got into Walking Dead. I was getting iZombie though till it ended
I, Vampire is another good book by DC that I stopped following just because of space. Might just get the trades.

I fall in and out of superhero comics from time to time myself, but I make it a point to keep buying Invincible. Kirkman has YET to deliver a bad issue of that book.
If you're straying away from Superhero stuff I still have to highly reccomend "Saga" by Brian K Vaughn and "Thief of Thieves".

What I read of Unwritten was fukking dope. Only reason I stopped buying it was because I decided to just wait for the trades. It read a lot better IMO as trade (much like Sweet tooth).
saga has been damn good so far and i really enjoy invincible. it's funny because when robert kirkman was writing for marvel sucked, but walking dead and invincible are
Just starting on AOA. Can someone give me details on how Magneto took over X-Men? I know Prof. X died. So when they did these comics did they already start a new X-Men series from scratch? And is there a TPB of when Magneto took over and X's death?
Yep, I find myself only reading it 'cause hes my childhood hero, not really for the quality of stories.
Best Marvel book in years? Gillen's Uncanny X-Men & Journey of Mystery shyts all over it breh, so does i.e. Punisher by Ennis and Rucka, Brubaker's Captain America, David's X-Factor and thats just from the top of my head

If you're reading the original Age of Apocalypse, then you need to find a copy of the Legion Quest TPB and read that first, as that will tell you all of the whys of how that came to be in one respect.
Cliffs notes: Legion (Xavier's son from the first New Mutants series, long story), a schizophrenic, gets his head together long enough to get the idea that the world would be a better place with Magneto dead. So he time travels back 20 years, back when Xavier and Magneto were still friends in Israel, to kill him, and a few X-Men follow him. Memory loss and shenanigans, some involving the M'Krann Crystal, follow, with the end result being Legion botching the assassination and killing his father by mistake.
Apocalypse was watching this whole thing, and decided, based on a wrongheaded assessment of the emergence of mutants (remember, time travel), to reveal himself 20 years earlier than he did. So instead of X-Factor (the original X-Men) being present to stop him, nobody was ready, and he basically razed North America as a result. That's where the world of AoA stems from.
Comics-wise, they basically stopped all the main series at the time (Cable, Excalibur, Generation X, Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine, X-Factor, X-Force, X-Men and X-Men Unlimited) and replaced them with 4 issue long miniseries with different focuses (Spoiler tagged due to light spoilers, if you haven't read it yet):
In respective order: X-Man [Thank this for Nate Grey. Cable never existed because Cyclops and Jean Grey never met, so there was no hope for a Madelyne Pryor existing], X-Calibre [About Nightcrawler, Mystique and Destiny in the Savage Land], Generation Next [Colossus and Kitty Pryde train the next generation, consisting of the Generation X sans Jubilee], Astonishing X-Men, Weapon X [Wolverine was a completely different, Apocalypse affiliated character in this world], Factor X [Focusing on a Sinister controlled Cyclops and Havok, so no, Cyke was never an X-Man in this continuity], Gambit and the X-Ternals [Gambit and the X-Force group in the Shi'ar empire. Yes, really], Amazing X-Men and X-Men Chronicles
It's a bit more complex than that, however, and there's a summary of the evens, a read order, and world notes on the event here: UncannyXmen.Net - For the Fans, By the Fans
