I got bored yesterday and went to a library in the 'bubs and they had a bunch of DC stuff I haven't read (Atom, Nightwing, etc).
I have to wait till August and to clear out my hold box. It will be almost a month since I got comics. Sucks. | | Back to top |  |

I've only read a couple of the volumes and was "cool zombie story". I'm not a huge Kirkman fan anyhow.
TWD is the only Kirkman i've ever liked. I thought Invincible sucked. I love the Walking Dead so much. I'd give it a try if you've never read it. | | Back to top | |

Location: through the Spanish announcer's table | Posted: Sun Jul 25, 09:43PM Post subject: I love Invincible. Can't read it as single issues because it's such a fast read. It was years after recognizing the writer as Kirkman and therefore the same guy behind the Walking Dead that I read it. Still not that far into it but I definitely like it. Kirkman's definitely not the deepest writer but he sure as fuck entertains.
Today I've been reading the compendium of the Crisis on Infinite Earths Absolute edition and it absolutely astounds me how much work went into that book. I'm getting sucked in now to the point of re-reading Crisis, then working through a meat-and-potatoes history of the DCU through what I have of Morrison's JLA, Identity Crisis, Infinite Crisis, Final Crisis and maybe another read of Blackest Night. Not enough hours in the day for this to happen realistically, but a nerd can dream. | | Back to top | |

R. Crumb's Mr Natural
Tardi's West Coast Blues and It Was the War of the Trenches which were both stellar.
Abandoned Cars by Tim Lane which was awesome. It's more of a less fucked up version of Stray Bullets.
and Kubert's Viking Prince DC Library edition which is fantastic.
What did everyone think of the Spiderman? I hated one more day and tried to get back into Spidey during the Gauntlet but i thought it was a convoluted mess so I dropped it again. Then I read The Grim Hunt which was fantastic. I liked the first issue of this arc but we will see where it goes.
Avengers #3 was great, as it has been. which is shocking because i loathe Bendis.
Is there any other comic art collectors on here? | | Back to top |  |

That being said, my current favorite is The Runaways, cause I was able to start from the beginning. | | Back to top | |

If you like classic zombie stuff than really do yourself a favor and read walking dead. Part of it drags but it's currently back on track. I love the idea of who is really the walking dead the humans or zombies and all of that.
That sounds great! I'm a huge zombie buff, I ran out and picked up the 4-disc Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition and Blue Rodeo special edition of Zombi 2 when they were announced years ago. I'll pick up a paperback when I get the chance next weekend. | | Back to top | |

As someone who works at a store, go. Personally I'd be much happier to see someone who has a lot of stuff stacked up to come in, buy a fraction of their pile and say they'll chip away at it then have someone just not show up at all. Buy what you can, don't push it, then go back in a couple weeks to grab some more. Or at least, out of courtesy, call them up and say you'll be in soon. If they're dicks about it, fuck 'em. There's a better store for you somewhere.
yeah i plan on doing that this upcoming weekend after the first. i just moved into a new apartment and comics just werent on the priority list. but ive missed out on the last two months and i need to catch up. | | Back to top | |

It's the entire history of the DCU through the eyes of one everyday character. So far JH Williams III, Dave Gibbons, J.G. Jones and other artists have worked on it so far. It's seriously great. | | Back to top | |

Between the Anniversary issue's pages, Rivera's and Quesada's artwork it was visually too disjointed. I may be a sentimental fool in saying I like Peter and MJ married instead of drunken wedding stands and awkwardness with every single girl in Peter's life (not to mention MJ is one the one thing that Peter always has going for him). Grim Hunt was great but I can't shake off Quesada's pulling the strings just because he can here.
Avengers #3 and New New Avengers #2 both lost it for me. At the end of the last issues of each, I was digging them. But then they both fell apart in these ones for me. | | Back to top | |

how did you all feel about flash: rebirth? i was super into it.
Read it as it came out so it was a bit painful waiting between issues. I get what Van Sciver was doing with the lightning all over the place, but if it would have made the book come out more regularly he definitely could have left out a few [dozen] lines. I love his art but oh man it was all over the place. Glad they gave Wally his own distinct costume like he had in the 90's as opposed to the Barry-lite version that he morphed into over the past decade. I thought the writing was very good but want to get back to read it beginning to end. I love the current Flash series but I'm interested in seeing the new Impulse and Wally more. Wally's just too good a character to be delegated to the B or C list.
yah i agree geoff johns did a good job with the writing super down to earth guy as well i met him on free comic book day few years ago and had him sign some of my flash stuff. | | Back to top | |

This. The only comics I own are the Dark Tower comics haha. I'm trying to branch out though because all I read is manga. The dude at the comic book store I go to get my manga gave me a Nemesis issue and I like it a lot so far.
If anyone in here can recommend me some stuff to check out please do.
If you like Millar check out Wanted, Authority 13-20, and Kick-Ass.
A good way to get into comics is to pick a writer and then check what other writers have done with the book. IE Authority can lead you to Warren Ellis and Ed Brubaker. It's hard to just to tell someone to check out a book, especially a Marvel and DC one since they are so steeped in nerdery and history. | | Back to top | |

The only thing I didn't like about Superman 701 was the fact the Morrison already had Superman save a jumper from killing themselves, and did it way better. It was one page and had way more of an emotional impact than any moment in this issue.
Superman lighting all the drug stashes on fire was awesome though. | | Back to top | |

He wants to show people they are not as helpless as they think they are and he is not as invincible as man makes him out to be. im really looking forward to seeing where they go with this run. the drug thing was a good example, he said he was going to clear them out there and the kid said they would just move, and supermans response was well the people over there need to take a stand. i hope to see a lot of powerful emotion in this run. | | Back to top | |

I mean seriously what kind of sick dude gives a dead kid hope that his mother is alive in South Africa. Convinces him that his mother is alive and is a doctor, then pins him in a warehouse lights it on fire (along with the woman and robin). Then the woman admits she was paid by the joker to trick him. And as he is burning alive still calls this woman (who is impersonating his mother) mom as he dies. Now that's some shit.
I like it because it shows the reality of the joker but also hate it at the same time.
If you don't want some sugar coated Joker comic, this one is the coldest. | | Back to top | |
