Caught up on Assassin's Creed: Uprising, and it's awesome. Basically carrying the Modern Day storyline and setting up the next big conflict. I'm guessing it will carry into the next trilogy of games. I'm really invested in the modern Day storyline of Assassin's Creed now, and the characters involved. I'll type up a synopsis of the "story so far" in the AC thread mainly because I'm bored, but also so people now what's going on if they don't want to/can't read the comics.

At this point I'm going to hold off on reading the rest of Preacher since I don't want to spoil the show for myself, which I like a lot more.

Picked up a couple of Batman comics with Rick Burchett's art. Really love the Bruce Timm art style.

Starting Horizon, a series I've been wanting to read for a really long time about an alien who invades Earth because Earth attacked her planet first, but the people of Earth have been lied to and don't know that her invasion is actually retaliation.

Just got caught up on The Wild Storm and The Wild Storm: Michael Cray.
The Wild Storm is legitimately great and might end up being an all time fav for me if it keeps going the way it's been.
Michael Cray is less great but still pretty good.
For those who don't know, Wildstorm was a comics publisher with their own sci-fi/fantasy/superhero universe that became an imprint of DC's in the 2000's, before getting shut down in 2009 so DC could make room for their New 52 Reboot. They recently revived the old Wildstorm universe with a solo-series by Warren Ellis called The Wild Storm that will run for 24 issues, with occasional spinoffs launching off of it to expand the universe.
The Wild Storm basically sets up the characters and world of the Wildstorm Universe, and it's pretty great. I'd highly recommend it for any sci-fi fans. The pacing and characterization is spot on, the worldbuilding is incredible, and it has the best-choreographed actions scenes in all of comics, period.
Michael Cray is the first spin-off to expand the universe, following a hitman from the main series named Michael Cray who discovers he's gaining the power to dematerialize objects. It's not as great as the main series, but pretty good. So far it seems that the heroes of the DC Universe are evil in the Wildstorm Universe, and it's Cray's job to hunt them down and kill them. A pretty interesting concept, but also a little cheesy, and the action is a significant step down from The Wild Storm. Worth reading if you read The Wild Storm and liked Cray enough that you want to follow his story, but otherwise it's pretty skipabble.

So I finally read Doomsday Clock #1. It's pretty great. More on this: Johns's writing flows better and is more enjoyable than Moore's, but the big picture remains unclear. The two new characters, Marionette and Mime, are interesting and pretty funny, but again, the big picture on them remains unclear. Ozymandias's plan and character arc so far are interesting, but, once again, the big picture is unclear. The big take away is: It's really well written and the art is good. It sets up at least three interesting central stories worth following(Ozymandias's search for Dr. Manhattan to prevent the end of the world, Rorsach's true identity, and Dr. Manhattan's effect on the DCU), and some interesting characters. The art is really solid, too. Overall, a promising first issue.
