Superman #1
Plastic Man #2
Red Sonja #18
And a trio of “True Believers #1” issues for $1 reprinting Avengers
#223, FF #5, and FF #155. (I think)

The last few months I've been enjoying those True Believers reprints too.
Even if I own the originals doesn't matter, for a buck you can't go wrong because they're usually great books.

My LCS doesn't overstock them though which I think is crazy, and I tell them so. These are generally evergreen books, FF#1, Spider-Man #1, first appearances and such. Spider-Man #300 first appearance of Venom actually went to second printing.

They are the only Marvel comics I buy now.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 was surprisingly good, given the trainwreck that was SECRET EMPIRE.

Adam, Secret Empire and the Cap and Falcon Cap books that led into it are probably the worst things Nick Spencer has written although I didn't really care for Avengers World either. But most of his comics, Ant-Man, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and his Image book The Fix were all really entertaining, fun, and funny comics. I had a feeling he would be a good fit on Amazing Spider-Man.

Shane -- I didn't read any of those. I might check out THE FIX.

BTW, despite my perennial problems with Bendis' writing, Ivan Reis is still one of the best superhero comics artists working today and his SUPERMAN art is up to his usual beautiful standards.
