My favourite current ongoing comic book right now would have to be Saga. I'm reading it in trades and I feel like I never know where the story is going to go from one story arc to the next. I could see how this book might not be for everyone but it really works for me. The crazy characters and beautiful artwork by Fiona Staples really draw me into this world. I love the narration by Hazel (one of the main characters in the book) and am always intrigued to find out what will happen next. I also appreciate the in your face storytelling and the fact that no topic seems to be taboo. I love what Brian K. Vaughan is doing with this book and hope that it continues for at least another 50 issues!
What's your favourite current ongoing comic book? Please share, I'm always looking for new books to try?

Kill Or Be Killed - I've read the first two trades of Kill Or Be Killed on Hoopla and have really enjoyed them. Brubaker and Phillips never disappoint when it comes to good crime noir. Other works I've read by them are Sleeper, Criminal, Fatale and The Fade Out all of which were great!
Mister Miracle - I have yet to try this title, I'm hoping to read it when it comes available on Hoopla. I also still need to read Tom King's Vision which I've heard great things about!
Batman - I've read the first volume of Tom King's Batman as well as the Night of the Monster Men trade. I thought they were both okay but not great. I plan on reading the second volume off of Hoopla and will continue on with it from there if I enjoy it.
Lazarus - Lazarus is another one of my favourite books, I have the first 4 trades and they were all great! Lazarus vol.5 will be my next read and I'm looking forward to it!
East Of West - I've read the first volume of East Of West, but the story didn't quite grab me. I agree that the art on the book is very beautiful. This is a series that I'll probably return to at some point.
Amulet - I've read the first volume of Amulet and it was a lot of fun, a great all ages book. The artwork in this book is very beautiful as well. I would love to read the rest of this series at some point, thank you for reminding me about it!
Thanks for all the great responses everyone, hopefully we can get some more!
