hey hey...i kinda started collecting comics last year oni..so...considered noob..i oni collect TPBs but recently i read that TPBs actually will not appreciate in value...are there places that provide comic delivery or like...they could reserve a comic for u around subang?
thanks!

Well i had been collecting comics for some time now.

Anyway, if you wish to collect comics for reading, it is ok but if you keen to get collect for $$$ value, better forget it. In Malaysia, you will have hard time selling.

It is the simple principal of willing buyer vs willing seller scenario.

Added on November 4, 2007, 5:31 pmWhat Civil War? The 7 issues Civil War or the related? Civil War is 7 issues mini-series but I don't remember it costs so much. Maybe it is available in trades, I am not very sure.

Maybe you might be interested in X-Men : Messiah Complex or Ultimates 3.

lol...i see...and btw....im a huge x-men fan..but...other than ultimate x-men...which i have collected all...the other comics like..decimation..tie in with uncanny x-men...and i dont know what chapter of uncanny x-men is still available in stores...the old one..not the new age one

Depends on what you are interested.

Old one as in way earlier version? If you are talking about Chris Claremont run, you can get it cheap in Essential X-Men Series - costs around RM 50++ but in black and white. Please take note, his style of writing is old school and that is why until today none of his comics can be properly collected into 6 issues Tpbk. He is the longest X-Men writer. His bios is available @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Claremont

Unless you are referring to more recent X-Men. Check out X-Men : Supernova HC, you might like it. It is by Mike Carey.

icic...thanks man...do u read the x-men?
or anything similar?
a marvel fan...not too much for dc tho...lol

I read X-Men since 1992. Then, the X-Men costs RM2-50. Hahaha !!! Jim Lee / Whilce Portacio / Rob Liefeld is the IT in comics. Todd McFarlane is drawing Spider-Man.

Things I collect nowadays :-

1. X-Men
2. Uncanny X-Men
3. Ultimate X-Men
4. New Exiles
5. Withcblade Manga
6. New Avengers

How about anybody here? BTW I got comics for sale. Price is negotiable and I would prefer to sell it to avid comic readers than a mamak book stall.

hey hey~~
i'm interested dude!
lol..wad series of x-men do u have?
btw...i currently have ultimate x-men till series 16 of TPB...
where do u go and purchase ure comics?

I have posted in Garage Sales, sadly no takers so I don't pursue further with more listings.

I am staying in Penang, I purchase my comics from a shop in Penang.

As for Trades, scout around @ Borders / Kino. Sometimes it is offered @ 25% discounts like my New X-Men Omnibus.

yea yea...once kino had rm5 vouchers for every book bought
very few comic readers/collectors le nowadays...

Drain by Image is interesting. Bomb Queen Trades is good too.

As for X-Men, it is Messiah Complex for me. Been a while since a good story in X-Men. Hopefully it is a good payoff.

messiah complex? what's it about?
i was thinking of getting age of apocalypse..but its damn expensive wei...
4 books...rm102.00 each at kinokuniya...lol

Age of Apocalypse is a good read but it is a pocket universe event of What If. Happens when Legion accidentally killed Prof X.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_Of_Apocalypse

So, there is little connection to X-Men. Basically you can get a complete set on TPBKs and not feeling lost.

About Messiah Complex :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men:_Messiah_Complex

lol...i actually read that recently...stumbled upon messiah complex..
its a new uncanny x-men right?
man..uncanny and ultimate x-men are so different..
some people died in uncanny which are alive in ultimate..lol..
i actually bought house of m b4 knowing about uncanny...imagine reading that wolverine is an avenger...and professor x isnt in x-men..and jean grey died...
spoiler alert siaaal

Messiah Complex is a major event for X-Related Titles and supposed to have a serious ramification to the X-World as a whole. So you can either collect the mini-series in the back pages of all X-Related Titles or wait for a massive HC Trade. I believed that it will come out as HC Trade once it is duly completed like Endangered Species.

House of M is a mini-series where Scarlett Witch wished there is no MUTANTs on earth. So if you got into that mini-series, of course you will be kinda lost in it. ( Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_m )

As for the difference between Uncanny X-Men and Ultimate X-Men is that Ultimate X-Men is based on present premise of what if X-Men is formed now compared to the early days of X-Men. The idea of how different the X-Men is the key-selling point. As for Jean Grey, well she is dead in the end of Grant Morrison's run ( Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_Tomorrow : get New X-Men Omnibus for his run - cheaper as it compiles all his run in New X-Men ) while in Ultimate, she is alive. All titles with Ultimate is a different premise with the conventional Marvel titles.

Yes, Wolverine is a member of New Avengers since New Avengers # 1 by Bendis and is still a member today. Well everyone loves Logan, so Marvel put him everywhere and hopefully he is not a skrull ( Secret Invasion of Skrull coming up on 2008 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Invasion ).

Hope this clarify everything.

Great news for fans of Starman. DC will be collecting the series in hardcover format and rumours are that its going to be oversized just like the Marvel OHCs.

Starman: The Complete Saga HC, Vol. 1

Word is that DC are going to release all their completed hit runs this way, Preacher and Transmet are rumoured to be next in line.

BKV's Ex Machina is also getting a deluxe treatment according to this link. Hopefully Y will follow suit.
