I am beholden to be an every other week reader by DCBS and my budget so instead I am going to run down my pull since I just ordered my comics for January.

DC:

Aquaman - Aquaman as failed king and revolutionary and...superhero instead has been a really good look as has Angry Widow Mera. Abnett is at the top of his game here.

Batman - Its been excellent - Tom King effortlessly carries on the tradition of Batman as a really solid title and does so while drastically scaling back the cast at least for now.

Doomsday Clock - no first issue yet but Geoff Johns doing an event is hype right?

Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss chronicles - Its begun to feel like the teaser for this was a fever dream. Russell/Pugh are some of the most biting satirists around and that their preferred medium for that is Hanna Barbera characters is hilarious

Nightwing - I really loved this book back when Nightwing was working with the minor villains parole party. Its gone a little soap opera and bringing back Raptor right as theybwere starting what looked like a really amazing blockbuster story and the random hookup with Huntress interlude has me frustrated with this formerly excellent title but i believe it can and will turn the corner.

Nightwing: The New Order - Kyle Higgins elseworlds story has been pretty striking stuff. Nightwing as an authoritarian icon and a hero without a plan just desperate is so good.

Red Hood and the Outlaws - Unexpectedly the best superhero title I am reading. Thanks Lobdell! Each member of the team is great, the current flowers for Bizzaronon thing they have going is top tier and they don't seem to be in a hurry to ship Jason and Artemis so this has been great month in month out.

Sideways - Literally only ordered this for Rocafort on art and the tie in to Metal.

Super Sons - I like Jon(son of superman) and I like Damien. This comic isnt the best but it has Jon and Damien and thats usually fun at least.

Swamp Thing Winter Special: I dont usually go for one shots but this is Tom King doing Swamp Thing and Len Weins final story onnthe character before he died.

Wonder Woman: Already discussed that I am pleased with the current direction

Marvel:
Daredevil - This has been consistently pretty great and the twisting and turning back in on itself lately with the return of Blindspot has been great. Hes not Waid but Soul is still Pretty Good.

Spider-Gwen - atrocious fill in issues aside, this has been amazing, the art and the retelling of early style spiderman which marvel hasnt been consistently able to provide with Peter in Ages. Robby Rodriguez is leaving at the end of this Gwenom arc and rumor has it Latour is probably leaving the title when he goes. Will be sad to see this one go and for this title to get as awful as Gwenpool. Fuck you Bendis for making them waste 3 issues doing a crossover with miles.

Dynamite:
Sheena - I read this alongside Red Sonja because I have a soft spot for old school style comics. This one in particular because its being written by my main girl Marguerite Bennett. But the first few issues have been pretty dang good the sense of msytery and scale of the problem with some good old fashioned corporate greed as the villain

Red Sonja - the best comic no one really talks about. Since Gail Simone took over a few years back they have had people come on to do an arc at a time and the results have been a consistently good to great book featuring solid classic style art and a sense of constant momentum because the authors always know where they're going.
