Recommended read or must-have?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkrock Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I just started Y the last man, read the first trade which was awesome. I'm starting Grant Morrison's x-men run. I also just ordered the astonishing x-men omnibus by Joss Whedon for $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Read the second Chew tpb and Death of Dracula yesterday. I didn't think the second Chew storyline was nearly as good as the first. I'm not ready to give up on the book though. Death of Dracula sucked. I don't even know why I bought that book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 This thread makes me want to start reading comics. I should go look around a comic shop sometime soon. I cant see myself getting into any of the bigger characters like Spiderman or Superman or the X-men but Im sure I could find something interesting.

kurtz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just got around to reading Shadowland #1 and Daredevil #508... Not into it at all. Andy Diggle is an awful writer. It sucks that after 9 years of some great DD comics by Bendis and then Brubaker, the series is going to go out on such a low note. I'm ready for the relaunch already. I just hope it's a new creative team. ***spoiler alert*** The Frank Miller image of Bullseye impaling Elektra with a sai is one of the greatest panels in comics history. But at this point I am so sick of seeing that image copied in every story involving Bullseye or Elektra. As soon as Bullseye began using a sai in Shadowland #1, I knew exactly what the end result was going to be. What a lack of creativity.

robotnerd Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 andy diggle is actually typically a great writer, but you're right, shadowland has sucked. i have a feeling it was an editorial decision that he had to go along with, and his heart just isn't in it.

kurtz Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The only other book I have read by Diggle is his run on Swamp Thing, which I absolutely hated. Swamp Thing and Daredevil are two of my favorite characters so it's not likely that I'll ever pick up another book he's written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 well, some writers just don't jive with some people, can't argue with that. i loved the losers and green arrow year one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtz Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Is anyone currently reading Green Arrow? I'd like to start picking it up because Swamp Thing is returning to the DCU in this book, but I haven't read any of these recent DC Brightest Day event/crossover books. Will I be totally lost without reading any other Brightest Day books, or does the Green Arrow series stand on it's own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 has anyone been keeping up w/ batman odyssey? i was curious if its any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 DC is dropping all their cover prices back to $2.99 in January. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/10/07/dc-comics-dropping-cover-prices-to-2-99-in-2011/ Rumor is that Marvel will be doing the same. This is great news! $4 comics have affected my buying habits probably more than anything else in my lifetime of buying comics. I can finally start trying out new titles again!

teganandsara Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah this is great I will have more disposable income for music. The price did not really affect me buying new comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Marvel says they will not be introducing any new books at a $3.99 price starting in January. Of course they don't say anything about dropping the price on the plethora of books that are already at $3.99. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28740 To me it seems like Marvel made this announcement simply as a reaction to DC's price drop. I hope DC starts killing Marvel in sales and forces Marvel to drop the price on all their books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 There is another Amazon glitch going on right now on Amazon.co.uk. A few preorders for Marvel Omnibus books are at low prices. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/10/09/amazon-uk-mini-glitch-captain-america-omnibus/ Unfortunately the exchange rate and shipping brings the price up a little bit, but still good deals to go around. I ordered the Walt Simonson Thor Omnibus and the total came out to ~$40 in US dollars. Still much better than the $125 cover price! Now I just have to wait until March for the release date.

astrangerwithcandy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 has anyone been keeping up w/ batman odyssey? i was curious if its any good Tried to give this series a chance and couldn't get past the 3rd issue. Writer seemed like he was just making it up as he went and Batman is pretty much a dick in it in my opinion. Deadpool MAX ftw. As well as Sweet Tooth.

Japes Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Just finished V for Vendetta for maybe the third time? I'm not really sure. Amazing book though. Gonna buy all of the Preacher HC books sometime next week, and I'm excited about it. On a side note: Someone sell me the Sin City Frank Miller Library hardcover sets!
