I have Born coming but From First to Last isn't in my library system and seems to be out of print so I might just put it on my to-read someday list and keep my eye out for a cheap copy.

So far I have narrowed down my choices to the following:

Archer & Armstrong Vol 1: The Michelangelo Code
Atomic Robo Vol 3: Atomic Robo and the Shadow from Beyond Time
FF Vol. 1 : Fantastic Faux
Green Arrow: Quiver
Spider-Man 2099 Vol. 1

I could go to my LCS and purchase Green Arrow and possibly FF tomorrow but I would have to order the others. Should I purchase/order one of these books or do you guys have any other recommendations for me at the moment?

Keb wrote:X-Men: Golgotha - this is the start of the Peter Milligan stuff. I love the art. Salvador Larocca is on point for sure. The vibe of this team feels really disassembled, almost like they don't all want to be there. I found myself getting annoyed with all the romantic tension, specifically between Rogue and Gambit and Iceman, Polaris and Havok. I dunno, I just get tired of age-old relationships. Milligan's Emma Frost might have been the only thing I really liked. All the rest of the characters are a bit off. I loved Carey's X-Men run (Supernovas and Blinded by the Light) so I decided to read this (I read some of it before) but I realized again why I decided to stop reading X-Men.

Which is a shame because I loved X-Statix.
