I read comics mostly cuz of the battles and wanted to know if anyone can recommend some currenty ongoing Marvel/DC books about street level characters that have good art (like Stegman or similar) and some nasty bloody battles.

You read comics just for the fights? In that case, I'm not entirely sure what to recommend, as all of my favorite comics focus far more on the plot than the fighting.

@rulerofthisuniverse: i tried to read comics for their plot, also read whole Avengers Academy series for the character development and stuff. I guess it all plays a role in a book being good or not, but to me a good hardfought battle is the pinnacle of a comic book. A good battle makes every lame plot look a lot better, on the other hand you can have a great story but if there are no good fights, then it's trash.

@orphancrippler: I would recommend

Guardians of the Galaxy (Click Spoiler Block for more Info)

It has a battles pretty much every Issue and there are big tree's squishing aliens and Raccoon's with high powered weaponry

Hunger

It is a four Issue mini-series The Story centers around Galactus pretty much trying to kill the Ultimate universe

Wolverine

its quite gritty and Street level and its wolverine so there's naturally a heap load of fights and wolverine has claws so naturally there quiet Violent it stars a new story Arc this Wednesday with issue 8, Which is a great jumping on point

You Should Also check out

  • Secret Avengers (Lots of fights)
  • Daredevil (Gritty and lots of fights)
  • Hawkeye
  • Batman by Scott Snyder
  • Injustice (The whole story is about fights)
  • Vibe (Theres actually quite cool battles)

@orphancrippler:

From the Marvel titles that I am reading, I think the best battles have been in:

  1. Thor: God of Thunder - Great battles with Thor from three different time periods (not street level but awesome)
  2. Secret Avengers - All kinds of action with street level characters and one of the most interesting plots going.
  3. Daredevil - His fights are always interesting with the radar sense

Valiant has had some of my favorite battles though from the past year.

  1. Harbinger Wars - Crossover event between Harbinger and Bloodshot. So much action fit into 4 issues and each tie in has the extended versions of the fights. Fantastic story and action.
  2. Bloodshot - Super-Soldier with nanites in him that allows him to have various abilities and awesome fights
  3. X-O Manowar - Most of the book is battles as Aric fights the Romans, then his alien abductors, then tears through modern day cities, and a war on the alien home planet. So many awesome fights packed into this book.
  4. Harbinger - A lot of really cool fights with people with a variety of abilities throughout the series.

ah the good old barman, that dude is as street as it gets.

@cap10nate: i just can't get into the blast this laser that kinda battles, i simply can't imagine how much damage is done or why certain attack is stronger. But definitly checking out Dardevil, was mentioned a few times already, so it must be really good stuff. Bloodshot sounds intriguing too, might check it out

This, especially if you want bloody battles.

Harbinger, Bloodshot and X-O Manowar are three very good titles with a lot of fight and blood.
