Comics

[Brainbox]

Spinning out of the 'favourite books/novels' thread, this is a place to discuss comics. Recent purchases, artists, story arcs, new releases, etc.

I've been collecting some of the UK Collectors Editions for a short while now. I collected Batman Legends (vol 1) from #6 to the end at #41, and (vol 2) from #1 to now (#4 out next Thurs). Quite enjoying the current crop in (vol 2), with All-Star Batman and Robin, Batman and Son and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, especially as Ed McGuiness and Andy Kubert favourite arists of mine.

I also collect Fantastic Four Adventures and Avengers United. I started FFA at #19 (got #23 today) and AU at #75 for Avengers: Dissassembled (got #77 today). FFA has been great, seeing as Mike Wieringo is another of my favourite artists (his art is just *wub* ). Not yet had chance to read his last FF story, 'Tag' in #23, but no doubt I'll find time later. Looks pretty good from what I've seen.

I bought 'Infinite Crisis' the other month. Wow! I hope to buy 'Civil War' as well when I find it. I've never really bought TPBs, but now I've found Borders here in the UK, I intend to buy lots more. I walked in to the one in York last year and thought 8-

I like graphic novels better than comics. And my personal favorite two are the HALO GRAPHIC NOVEL, and 300 GRAPHIC NOVEL, I recommened those.

300 GRAPHIC NOVEL, I recommened those.

And what with the film coming out, I can guess lots of people will want to read it either before or after they see it. Its about the Battle of Thermopyle isn't it?

Okay, lets see:

As an overall Marvel guy I will never touch any DC comic! :-P Okay, I am not THAT strange, maybe I will even get the TPB reprint of Miller's Batman the Dark Knight... If there is some money leftover, meaning probably not. :-P

Nonetheless, here are my current ongoing- and mini-series' I am buying:

Panini (Germany):

[*]Spider-Man (monthly, collecting two Spidey issues per month, mainly Amazing SM)

[*]Im Netz von Spider-Man (miscellanious Spidey-series, each Panini issue collecting four or five issues)

[*]X-Men Sonderheft (misc. X-Men series, e.g. X-Men - The End)

[*]X-Men (monthly, collecting four US issues each, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, lately New Excalibur,...)

[*]Spider-Man & die neuen R

The film is based off of the graphic novel. And the Dark tower is a prety good series too...steven king good.....
