Comic Books & Graphic Novels

[Inner-Demon]

Marvel

Halo Graphic Novel; (It's HALO, come on)

Ultimate Spider-Man; (Probably THE Spider-Man book for me, next to The Amazing Spider-Man. USM is a fantastic book, month after month. I have every issue to date, including variants, and I've subsribed to the comic for two years now, no more worrying about picking it up. A shame to see Bagley leaving)

Runaways; (Been following this since it began, still collecting)

Civil War; (Instead of listing everything, I'll just say this, I followed Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four during Civil War. Along with the main series. This is a fantastic collection)

The Ultimates; (Yeah, I have EVERY issue, and I'm still waiting for it to wrap up. lol)

Ultimate Marvel Team Up; (To flesh out my USM collection, bought all of these)

Ultimate X-Men: Return Of The King TPB (Great, hate UXM, but a fine read)

Ultimate X-Men: Blockbuster TPB (This should be obvious. CROSSOVER with USM, had to have it)

Spider-Man: Birth Of Venom (From the Secret Wars, to when Venom latched with Eddie Brock, I have every issue detailing the black suit in the 616 Universe)

Spider-Man 2 Graphic Novel

The Amazing Spider-Man Issue 50, (When Peter decides "Spider-Man No More")

Robin- One Year Later TPB

Spawn is rather two-dimensional. It was all right to begin with, but it became clear that it went right down the shitter when they introduced a killer cybernetic gorilla.

Judging from this, you can't give up on something that you haven't gotten into. The only in-continuity stories you own are in TPB's. Where are your proper, non-Johnny DC, on-going titles?

And people rip on Superman for wearing his underwear on the outside.


If anyone is interested in compiling a complete collection of their comics that also has a way of keeping it up to date - Welcome to ComicCollectorLive.com has this free program you can download once you register that has quite an extensive list on indvidual books and trades.

I said that wasn't all of them. I forgot about this topic, lol. Let's see, I own all of Identity Crisis. I've been collecting the JSA, which is about the only fantastic book DC has besides Detective Comics. I was reading the new JLA, but that's just pathetic now, JSA is so much better.

Then there's Nightwing, which I was collecting, but that just sucked beyond belief. Add that to the numerous other titles that are so often delayed, and the little implications continuity makes on this company, I just don't care about the overall sense of the Universe. I even follow World War 3, but they could jerk that out just the same.

DC has repeatedly removed things from ever happening, and that just ruins a book for me. I don't follow an entire arc to see it removed, or never mentioned again in continuity. I have followed DC for some time, but their books just aren't good. I'd rather spend my money on something that's actually worth 2.99

But I do collect Fables, now that's a GREAT book.

Ok so The New Previews came out this past week. I was bored as hell at work so i was browsing though the Marvel Previews. So BAD

Captain America Meets Optimus Prime in: The Avengers/Transformers
And there Bringing Back Thor, I have to say that the interior art for thatComic is just horrible.

Captain America is dead D=


Im in love with beast wars right now. Loved the show, loving the comics.

[Inner-Demon]

Except for the TRANSFORMERS crossover, that takes place before Civil War, and will actually fit into continuity in the Marvel Universe aswell as IDW's Transformers universe.

Comic book continuity is a myth.

[Just as Planned]

So uh, I recently uncovered my long lost love for DC comic books right?

So I read Superman: Red Son and Kingdom Come over the weekend; and suddenly, I feel the need to purchase myself a Green Lantern shirt.

It exists in periods. It's all up to the Editor's-In-Chief and where they want to take the universe. If a new story contradicts and old one, the old one will be retconned out. DC has a pretty easy issue with continuity now since they brought back the multiverse.

=D Good choices. Just don't read The Kingdom unless you really want to. DC has some really great characters, contrary to popular belief and some really great stories. Might I suggest Green Lantern: Rebirth, Identity Crisis and Superman: Birthright if you want to try more?
I bought an Aquaman shirt the other week.

[LordMune]

I picked up the complete Watchmen recently.

It just is that good.

[Johnny Stooge]

Absolute or normal TPB?

My local Borders has the Absolute edition and I'm thinking of picking it up if can rustle up the money.

[LordMune]

The normal version, because I did not know of the existence of Absolute. Boy, did I kick myself hard for that afterwards.

[Puddle Jumper]

Since I live in the crappiest country in teh word, I have absolutely not an amount of comics worthy of being called a collection. Comics that is ... from Marvel and DC ... God you can't even believe the shyte they print here.

Anyhoo,

I have a few Spider-man Classics, A few Superman Classics, Some random spidey and super comics, one batman issue, a few Flashes, one X-men comic ((derived from the X-men animated series))

and my pride and joy:

The translated Spider-man and X-men! God, The only comics they actually supply over here! Hallelulia ... I have them from when Spidey died by that Spider-man eater.
Though my issue of Spider-man classic where the original Hobgoblin returns and is unmasked comes close of being my favourite.

Just wish me luck when I go to perhaps the only Comic store ((SECOND HAND)) in flanders ... In July or august ... kill me

[Square Ninja]

The more I look at comics today, the more I see material made specifically for nerd-gasms, crossovers. I'm okay with the Justice League or something like that, since they were created to be part of that same "universe." I just see stuff that looks like something inspired by the playground discussions of who would win in a fight.

Also, I thought about getting 300 today, but noticed just how HUEG the thing is. It's like a road sign on the interstate.
