What's worth reading from Marvel these days?

I recently used the DC Rebirth as my excuse to get back into reading comics after years of absence. I intended to just start with a couple of titles, but I've now found myself having burned through pretty much every rebooted title very quickly, so I'm eager to discover some more gems.

Someone recently recommended The Vision to me, so I took the plunge on the first issue and I'm hooked now. This got me wondering if there are any other standout titles at Marvel (or anywhere else) right now? I would love some recommendations of any trades in recent history/current runs that are worth checking out.

Cheers.

The Vision is so good!

Here's my recommendations for recent stuff.

Daredevil by Mark Waid
All-New, All-Different Avengers by Mark Waid
Hawkeye by Matt Fraction
Karnak by Warren Ellis
Iron Fist: The Living Weapon by Kaare Kyle Andrews
Doctor Strange by Jason Aaron
Jason Aaron's run on Thor, starting with Thor God of Thunder, right up to Mighty Thor, which is on issue 10ish now.
Captain America: Steve Rogers by Nick Spencer
Astonishing Ant-Man by Nick Spencer

Thanks for these, I'll check them out. I've had Hawkeye and Dr. Strange recommended to me before as well, so I'll be looking forward to those.

Are any of the X-Men titles worth reading these days? I was big into those when I was a silly teen, but they don't seem to be as popular these days.

Darth Vader is wrapping up now but it's been a great series.

Also from the recent past; Superior Spider-Man. Only 32 books but well worth a read.

I generally don't read X-Men tbh. I got too tired of the god damn Phoenix Force a long time ago... Last I enjoyed was Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men.

This was actually my favourite X-title back in the day.

Most of the 90s X-Men stuff was terrible looking back now. I'd usually just borrow from my mates to stay current, as that's what everyone seemed to be into at the time, but I used to buy X-Factor religiously.

Thwip!

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
Moon Knight (from the Ellis/Shalvey/Bellaire run onwards)
Extraordinary X-Men
Ant-Man
Superior Foes of Spider-Man
Spidey
Ms Marvel
Nighthawk
Daredevil
Both Captain America books

The modern Marvel Star Wars ongoing comic series is definitely worth a read... along with the Vader spin-off. (Although that wll end at #25, in October.) They are very very good.

I'm almost finished Thor: God of Thunder and really enjoyed it! Darth Vader is brilliant as well
