Some stuff I've been reading:
Avengers #1-3: Don't bother with Avengers: Prime, New Avengers, and Secret Avengers, This is the book to get. This is even better than when New Avengers first started. Plus, John Romita Jr. on the pencils is always good. Issue 4 comes out next week. Get on demonoid and read this shit now.
Avengers and the Infinite Gauntlet #1 of 4: Pretty much a more humorous retelling of the infinte gauntlet from the superheroes perpective. Or at least until thanos kills them all, I'm assuming. This is a good read just for the dialogue alone. Particularly Spider-man's
Hawkeye: We've got things under control spider-man.
Spider-man: Oh, see when there are explosions, I tend to think things are WILDLY out of control. But it's good to know this is avengers sanctioned insanity.

D. Doom: You will know when doom deigns to attack you. No, I merely defended myself from a series of clumsy attacks.
Spider-man: What about the exploding wall, and all that "Behold the grim visage of doom!" stuff, and...and...YOU BLEW UP A WALL!
Dr. Doom: Yes? That is how doom enters a room. How do YOU do it?
Spider-man: Uh, through a door?
Dr. Doom: The door? Like a peasant?
----
Don't really know if this is an alternate universe or what though, because I own Infinity Gaunlet, and there are ridiculously large story inconsistencies.
Brightest Day: Up to issue 7 atm. Not a fan. Dunno, it just has really bad pacing, imo. Story is all over the place, and there is nothing that interesting. Doesn't help that I absolutely hate Deadman, and he's as close as there is to a main character in this story.
Hulk #24 and Incredible Hulk #611: Been following the whole Fall of the Hulks storyline and that concludes in IH 611, with a fight between Skaar and Hulk. Hulk actually reverts back to who he was in World War hulk, making him as powerful as he's ever been. Ending is pretty dumb though. Hulk 24 is waaaaaay better. Hulk has been the better title ever since it started and this is another example. 24 is basically the conclusion of the Red Hulk saga, and is a knockdown drag out fight. Much better than the skaar vs hulk battle. After I catch up on all my DC stuff, I'm definitely going to start picking up the trades of this book.
Only bad thing I have to say about Hulk, is that they waited far too long to reveal the identity of Red Hulk. By the time they got around to it, there was no way the reveal could live up to the build up. Doesn't help that it turned out to be one of the obvious choices either.
