Any Comicbook Collectors?

Re: Any Comicbook Collectors?

Anyone know of good sites to keep up with what's going on in comics?

I was thumbing through Y The Last Man wondering if I should buy the TPB.

I usually go on www.cinescape.com to check out what's up with comics and other things.

Have you ever read the X-men/ Teen Titans crossover? great story and art. Crossovers are cool when done right. Another cool one is the Judge Dread/ Batman story.

That's the gold one where they fight Darkseid, right? I got it for 25¢ at Kam Swap Meet, heh.

Is this X-Men/Teen Titans crossover with them trying to stop someone from bring back Phoenix back to life?

Re: Any Comicbook Collectors?

Yep, with Darkseid being the one trying to ressurect Dark Phoenix. "Apokolips Now."

Re: Any Comicbook Collectors?

I think if the two companies can get together on book crossovers, why not in the movies? Who wouldn't want to see a Batman/ Wolverine mov

In the 1980's, I'd collect Robotech comics, then in the 1990's, I'd collect Star Wars comics. I haven't been a regular collector since then, but I do keep 'em all in a closet (and yes, they're in those collector's plastic bags, for all you collectors who will be upset to hear otherwise ).

Re: Any Comicbook Collectors?

I just read Y The Last Man and enjoyed it. I gave all 7 TPBs to the wife and she asked where's the next one; so I'm guessing she enjoyed it too.

I picked up Astonishing X-Men 13-15 and wow. That is the best X-Men comic right now.

I'm looking at picking up Fables TPB numbers 3 and 4.

Anyone reading 52? or read Infinite Crisis?

Supreme Power 1-5 was pretty good.

Eternals was pretty interesting. Neil Gaiman is writing it.

If you can, pick up the original Eternals comic by Jack Kirby ....awesome!

I wouldn't call myself a collector, but when I was a kid, I used to read the following comics:
- The Amazing Spiderman
- Avenger and West Coast Avengers
- X-Factor
- A little Thor and Fantastic Four
- Archie and Jughead:
- Conan the Barbarian

Re: Any Comicbook Collectors?

I no longer comics but wouldnt mind, if there were something id be interested in. I used to read: spiderman, teen titans, xmen, xfactor, sandman, death: the high cost of living, and stuff like that. it got kind of crazy in the 90s when it was all about splash covers, holographic scratchnsniff covers, and crap like that.
once upon a time i wanted to be a comic book artist, but wasnt happy with my style.

Faves:

X-Men (Claremont & Byrne)
Batman Year One (Miller)
Daredevil (Frank Miller)
Fantastic Four (Byrne)

wow you are a comic book lover. if you are really into the gritty Miller and into Byrne, you should really check out the new Ultimate storyline by Marvel. I've read a good chunk (maybe 70%) of the Ultimate versions released in the last few years. I highly recommend the Ultimates 1 & 2, and so far, what I'm reading of Civil War is very good.

By the way, my faves were the titles I left above + the Simonson Thor.

Oh and the new Dark Horse Conan kicks some Cimmarian ass.
