So, what are you guys reading at the moment?
While DC skips a couple of months, I am only reading Convergence: Question - because Rucka and Hamner are the best, and the Evan Shaner Shazam! series.
I'm kind of bummed that once again the Wildstorm universe got shafted by DC, and ignored from this event, just as they got shafted in Future's End, and in Stormwatch before that.
Even Hawksmoor got relegated to a bit player. Hawksmoor, for goodness sakes!
So what are you guys reading?

So, Question was once again brilliant, making me remember how great Batwoman was under Rucka and then Blacker and Williams, with Amy Reeder. I wish we could have a series of just those three investigating urban myths etc...
Also, Secret Wars was...OK? Not as amazing as I thought but, we will see.

Let's see how many I can remember I'm reading.
From DC I'm reading Batgirl and Gotham Academy which are both much lighter than mmost of DC's current output. I'm also technically reading Secret Six but with how long it's taken to get three issues out I'd be surprised if that's not cancelled by July.
I'm reading a bunch of Valiant who possibly have the best shared universe in comics currently. I got most of X-O Manowar from a comixology sale, and have picked up the first couple issues to Ivar, Timewalker, Ninjak, and will be picking up Bloodshot Reborn when I go the comic shop next.
I'm not picking up as much from Image as I probably should be but what I am picking up is Bitch Planet, Rat Queens, Saga, Sex Criminals, and Wic Div all of which are some of the best series I've ever seen.
From IDW I'm picking up TMNT which is one of the best interpretations of the franchise, Transformers More Than Meets The Eyes and Robots in Disguise which have made me care about Transformers for the first time.
From Boom it's just Lumberjanes which everybody who likes fun should be reading.
Marvel is where most of my comics come from, and that's going to get worse with Secret Wars. Not counting the stuff from Secret wars I'm reading Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, Angela, Spider-Gwen, Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, Deadpool, Ant Man, and Howard the Duck.
I'm also picking up a couple mini series Conan/Red Sonja, The Kitchen, and Operation S.I.N all of which I really hope are good because I won't be reading them until they are finished.

You're right, they're a lot lighter! I've lost most of the comics I read regularly, with the exception of Superman/Wonder Woman (I dropped Wonder Woman with the Finches because the writing was awful) and Aquaman,
Valiant is brilliant, and I've long since wanted to write something for them, specifically, the Geomancer, because she is wonderful. Or was.
Wic/Dev is amazing. I've loved those two since I met McKelvie at a Con and randomly picked up the first Phonogram, which is incredible.
Also, agree with you on TMNT, although Transformers I've not picked up because...frankly...don't know where to even begin.
Basically, everything you read, is what I read, so..we're a match made in heaven!

For Transformers you can really jump in with Robots in Disguise and More Than Meets the Eye, especially MTMTE which stars a whole bunch of D-listers who never really had any continuity to work with.
