This was fun, appreciate Omar but always love more hosts and content!

Edit: love that Outsiders run and everything Milestone. Would also like to add how much the Wildstorm universe had an impact on me as a reader.

Great to see you again Maddie! I didn't realize those Scales and Scoundrels books were so thick, you sold me on 'em!

Milestone should've been a hardcover

Maddie. Great to see You again. I love all your recomendations. This time I Will go for "upgrade soul" (the last time You didn't convince me, but this time, the way You explain, the feeling You put on this book means something) and I will try "Heathen". Thank You very much and expect to see You more often. Take care.

Great to have another point of view from the hidden gems segment. I have about half of these books. Maddie has much more nervous giggles when monologuing instead of conversing with others (like Kristen). Strangely adorable.

Great picks Maddie as always !!! That Outsiders: Wanted series by Judd Winick is so great and that whole period of DC Comics from 2006-2011 Pre New 52 era is amazing so many not only great titles but underrated ones as well.

[CapitalDOOM]

Always looking forward to more lists by NMC hosts. Please do more!

[RLDesrochers]

Thank you, Maddie! Great stuff to look out for.

[michellepalafox]

Wonder Maddie's recs are always my jam!!! TY!

As a fairly new viewer to NMC I was surprised to see someone besides Omar and his wife hosting a show. Wow, I’m glad I saw this. Maddie is intelligent, passionate and full of knowledge about so many books. She’s also gorgeous and I could not stop watching. I’m definitely going to check out most of these books she showcased. Thanks for a great video which highlights a lot of indie work beyond the big publishers.

[markzimmer]

Great reading list; I haven’t read any of these so I have a lot of homework to do. 😅 Thanks, Maddie!

[mnmchango]

Great video, Maddie! You’ve definitely given me a bunch of new books to check out - many I haven’t read! But also love that Milestone compendium and looking forward to Vol. 2! I haven’t read the new stuff though, so I’m going to have to check those out too.

Hi Wonder Maddie! My first time tuning in. I enjoyed the format in this video. Your passion really shows. It's like when someone genuinely wants to tell you about something they like. I'm going to read Heathen now. Thanks for the recommendation!

[joshakazamo]

I thought this was definitely a lot of fun. Never heard at all of this Outsiders run so definitely had a great time hearing how much Maddie loved it!

Edit: Wanted to add it owns seeing a woman perspective on comics and finding out about a whole bunch of cool-looking stuff I've never even heard of. Would love more of these!

[twistedtheorist]

Monsters by Barry Windsor Smith has been my most recommended book for the past year.

[colonelweird]

I put Upgrade Soul in my amazon cart the last time I saw you recommend it, where it's been for the past month or so. But this time I just ordered it. Thanks for the rec.

[AdamSMessinger]

I picked Outsiders off the shelf as it was coming out. I dug it up until around Infinite Crisis. After that it felt Judd Winick was hampered by the rotating artists during One Year Later. I felt like those first 12-14 issues were some of the best DC was putting out at the time. It was fun being reminded of going to the shop on Wednesday to pick this up.

[Krypton_Ken]

Love Judd Winick's Outsiders run, I've wanted an omnibus of that for a long time. His Green Lantern and Green Arrow comics are great too. Honestly shocked that DC hasn't collected his Under the Red Hood story in a nice deluxe edition yet, or even a small omni including the other Jason Todd appearances he wrote.

The old Milestone comics so deserve the deluxe edition or omni treatment. I've held off on the compendium because I don't really like that format but I should probably pick them up just to be supportive.

I still haven't read my Milestone compendium but I have Vol2 preordered
