picked up the new Transformers #0 when i was back in KK last week. came back to KL and immideately ordered all four variants of the TF #0 online.

can anyone point me to a place where i can get the TF comics published by Dreamwave?

oh and by the way, for anything TF, Simon Furman is God.

If i had my digicam i would snap a pic of my Optimus Prime in some grovelling pose. bah.

You mean, brick-and-mortar store...not online, right? Maybe you could try Kinokuniya at KLCC. They've got a number of Transformers comics by several different publishers, but if you're looking for only Dreamwave issues, then there's a pitiful selection...two from 2004, and one from 2003. However, you could easily place an order for whatever comics you want. They will try their best to source the titles for you. No extra service charge or fees.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Transformers comics, so can't offer much help.

dont mind getting them online either, so long as the prices and shipping are reasonable. any lubangs? amazons selection is pitiful, and since idw took up the TF license from hasbro, DW's online store doesnt list them anymore. bah.

I don't buy stuff over the internet so can't help you there. But if you're in KL, then don't you even want to try asking Kinokuniya to order these comics for you? Another poster mentioned the MindShop (at KL Plaza??). Maybe that's a good place to start, too.

Just read these two TPBs and greatly enjoyed reading both:

WE3 by Grant Morrison
A story of how three domestic pets--who have been kidnapped/stolen by a secret air force research facility and turned into cyborg killing machines--fight for their freedom. Although the book is quite short, and the plot straightforward, you won't easily forget about the subject-matter. Good topic for discussion. Superb art by Frank Quitely. Grant Morrison is a fantastic writer, and having already read The Filth, I am fast becoming a fan of his.




The Hedge Knight by George R.R. Martin
Dunk intends to make a name for himself as a hedge knight. Along the way to a tournament, he meets an interesting character, Egg. The main story revolves around this tournament at Ashford Meadow; how Dunk prepares for it (being his first tourney) with the invaluable help of Egg; and the obstacles that he has to overcome. Very entertaining story. Gorgeous art (pencils) by Mike Miller.



If anyone else has a book to recommend, please post a short synopsis or review.

[b[100 Bullets[/B]

By Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso.

What if you were punished for a crime you never commited, haunted by the guilt of inability to protect, unable to pin the blame for a tragedy on someone. Well, if you're lucky, a man in suit comes, calls himself Agent Graves, hands you an attache case with irrefutable proof that someone wronged you, with it, 100 untraceble bullets and Smith and Wessons and with it, the power for revenge. Always cold, always calculative and always an emotional rollercoaster.

Winner of multiple Eisner awards, stylic art and a great story to boot. With an equally deep conspiracy to match it's athmosfere.

The Punisher : Born

By Garth Ennis

The tale of the war that created a superhero without superpowers. One that relied on wit, cunning and raw skill. But how is such a killer born in the first place? The story of Frank Castle and the horrors of vietnam, and how he yearns for his everlasiting war. A blood soaked tale of the rights and wrongs of war, the morals of it men, their fears, their hopes, and the creating of a beast.

Sounds good. 100 Bullets it is, then.

bahahaha, my stuff from IDW just arrived, mint copies of the all new transformers #0, with all four alternate covers bawahahahah *gay*

hope i can actually keep up this time. bleh.

Ive got a stack of GI Joes comics given by my cousin. But my mum threw them all away a few years back

Latest batch of graphic novels that I've had fun reading:

Avigon: Gods and Demons by Che Gilson
Robots or "clockworks" are being built to serve humans. Not surprisingly, most are not treated very well by their owners. Avigon, a state-of-the-art clockwork almost indistinguishable from a human, yearns for a "real life" in which she will be appreciated as a "person" and not as an expensive toy to be bought or sold. She sets out to find this life for herself. Read the book and see how it all ends.

The grey-scale artwork is by Jimmie Robinson. I love the super clean lines and sexy mix of goth and manga styles.




Chosen by Mark Millar
Jodie is made to believe that he is the returned Jesus Christ. Problem is, he's just a twelve-year-old boy. How does he, and everyone around him, deal with this amazing discovery? The story ends nicely...very funny! NOTE: Readers will need a basic knowledge of christianity and the bible to appreciate this story. If references such as the immaculate conception, turning water into wine, or the symbolism of 666 mean nothing to you, then save your money for some other title.

Art by Peter Gross. For me the style is only so-so, and I probably wouldn't have bought this book if not for the interesting storyline.




The following two TPBs are written and drawn by Jhonen Vasquez. Nice B/W cartoony-style art.
JTHM / Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
If you're in the mood for some wicked humour, this book is highly recommended. Contains "pretty pictures" of bodies being hacked to pieces, heads exploding, and all manner of cruelty dished out by Johnny on unsuspecting victims. Obviously, a warped sense of humour is required of readers. Also, some parts of this book are text-heavy, so be prepared to squint your way through them because the lettering is tiny and all squished together. I was seeing stars by the time I turned the last page. Worth it though. Loads of laughs.



Squee's Wonderful Big, Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors
Read JTHM before starting on this title. It will make more sense. The book is divided into two parts. The first focuses on Johnny's neighbour, Todd aka Squee. This poor little tyke is traumatized by everyone in his life...Johnny, his parents, and school-mates. Heck, even aliens from outer space are hounding him. Crazy fun. The second part is a collection of filler-type shorts on random topics. As with JTHM, this book is recommended for a devilishly good time.

had been collected comics for more than 8yrs til now,but mostly r those HK comics...wanna list it down here but dunno how to translate...

hmm comics ar....hehe i'm still collectin........

x-men series( all related x-books) till latest issues
n lots of other marvel titles but tha main collection is x-men series

Girls Volume 1: Conception by Joshua & Jonathan Luna
Ongoing series from Image Comics. A mix of science fiction and horror...kinda has an X-Files vibe. Ethan finds an injured woman standing in the middle of the road at night. She's beautiful, mysterious (doesn't say much), and err...stark naked. He takes her home to treat her injury but things quickly get out of control (in more ways than one *wink*). Very soon, Ethan, along with everyone else in town, find themselves in a bizarre and dangerous situation. The Luna brothers have done a good job building up the suspense, especially in the last few pages. I'm definitely looking forward to the second TPB which should be released around middle of 2006.

Jonathan Luna's art is OK but not detailed enough for my liking. Also the male characters seem to have delicate, feminine-looking hands...eeww! But his strong point is being able to draw pretty girls.




Vimanarama by Grant Morrison
Wacky, laugh-out-loud. The only thing worrying Ali is whether Sofia, his arranged bride-to-be, whom he is about to meet for the first time, is going to look "ugly". Soon enough though, his problem escalates to more epic proportions: he has to compete with a demigod for Sofia's affection, and save the world from evil monsters at the same time! Lovesick Pakistani boy, a team of ancient superheroes, pissed off baddies, and lots of humour. My favourite character is Ali's precocious nephew...doesn't get many lines but the few that he has are hilarious. A light, fun read.

I like the cute, slightly cartoony artwork with neat, well-defined lines by Philip Bond but on several pages, the male characters look a bit stunted (large heads / hands, and short trunks / legs). Anyway, I'm just nit-picking. Overall, the art is very appealing, and Brian Miller also helps with lots of bright colours.

Decided to set aside some money for more comics instead of funneling it to my audio setup.

Have decided to buy

Bite Club

Tagline : Die now, live forever.
Synopsis : Vampires and lost brother turned Priest, what else is there to fathom

Watchmen

Synopsis : What happens instead of just prancing around and deciding to save the day and helping people. Superheros used their powers for political leverage, to twist and turn the word, turn to lies into to truths and vice versa?

The Punisher : War Journal

Synopsis : I don't know much, but i know Nicky Cavellera is back and he has a trick to blow Frank away.

Fables : March of the Wooden Soldiers and The Adversary

Synopsis : It's seems the ranks of dissent are growing stronger in fable town, and mundies are getting closer. And also explains the origins of the Adversary and the war that took the homelands.

My Collection:

1)Rurouni Kenshin
2)Ai Yori Aoshi
3)Dot Hack
4)Ah My Goddess
5)Love Hina
6)Blade Of The Immortal
7)Ragnarok

Tha's it for now i guess

i've been buying comics from donkey years ago... i have like a whole stack of old Marvel, DC, and many other Western comic series from my dad hidden somewhere at the bottom of my old shelf. (roughly 200+) And i do MEAN old. (from the late 80's and early 90's)

now, there is a whole bunch of manga slowly trying to match that number... crap... running out of space to keep em.

Got stuff to sell? Take it to the Garage Sales section.
