Nice of you to drop in. Greetings !!! From Penang.

Yes, Messiah Complex???

thanezra - bad news, apparently that particular issue just sold out. You got 2 options :

1. Get Messiah Complex HC Edition coming out soon
2. Get single issue from nearby comic shop or... bulk order with me from Mile High Comics later middle of this year.

Haha.. All you need is time to go there. Remember to VOTE if you are going on 8th though !!!

Clandestine HC is prep and ready to ship by Amazon, costs me RM80++ depends on FOREX.

Anyone interested in Civil War : Front Line??? and last few related Civil War?

Just waiting for my Clandestine from Amazon.com. No new purchase yet.

Just pondering of selling my individual issues to purchase other stuffs.

Clandestine? Ordered it with my Elektra Omnibus in December 2007, and Elektra got shelved till Nov 08.

Just got Clandestine though, today...

Haha.. not yet. Clandestine is by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer is the Inker.

It is 8 issues collected edition of Clandestine mini-series and Clandestine/X-Men # 1, 2.

Nicely kept and bagged plus storage.

I got problem too in storage area... LOL.

There will always be people collecting single issue comics but the access to them nowadays is limited unlike the heydays of speculators in comics. Only few shops exist in Penang/KL/PJ.. etc.

The alternative is Graphic Novels / TPBKs that is a collected editions and also partly to blame is the Publishers for giving out freebies in HCs like additional pages/artworks/pin-ups/scripts a'la DVD.

With racks like yours, need a storage room.... hehe.. maybe a panic room would do under lock and keys.

Civil War is the story of heroes vs heroes in the registration of all heroes and their true identity.

Capt America in the against.. Iron Man in the for.

7 issues main mini-series with numerous uno ties-in.

Ahhh.. Age of Apocalypse where all X-Titles got suspended for 4 months.

Storyline
Legion (David Haller), an extremely powerful psionic mutant and son of Professor Charles Xavier and Israeli diplomat Gabrielle Haller, travels back in time with the intention of killing Magneto, Xavier's former best friend and current arch-nemesis. When David is on the verge of ending Magneto's life, Xavier places himself between the two, and Legion inadvertently kills Xavier instead. Due to a "Grandfather paradox", Legion then ceases to exist as Xavier now died before Legion was even fathered.

Because of Xavier's sacrifice, Magneto comes to believe in his late friend's dream of peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants. Apocalypse, an immortal mutant who has been alive for centuries, was monitoring the fight. In this reality, he chooses this moment as the perfect time to begin his "survival of the fittest" genetic war, which doesn't happen in the regular Marvel Universe until ten years later.

In this timeline, Magneto establishes the X-Men, but not until after Apocalypse establishes himself as a major power. Apocalypse comes to rule all of North America, and initiates a worldwide genocidal campaign of "cullings" in which millions of humans die. The few that survive live in parts of Europe and Africa which were not devastated by nuclear weapons. Fleets of Sentinels are their only defense.

Meanwhile, the disturbance of the timeline leads to a crystallization wave of the M'Kraan Crystal that is heading toward Earth.

Magneto, as leader of the X-Men, leads a resistance movement against Apocalypse's forces. Early in the timeline, his daughter the Scarlet Witch is killed by one of Apocalypse's henchmen, Nemesis (later Holocaust). Next issue, Weapon X (Wolverine) and Jean Grey leave the X-Men to follow their own separate path. The true beginning of the Age of Apocalypse, however, is in the magazine X-Men Alpha, which will be described below.

You can get the collections in TPBKs format :-

Q

As long as there is people interested in comics and is willing to drop in with a thoughts or two, this thread will prevails.

BTW : Secret Invasion begins in Marvel.

Frankly speaking, sometimes some things should remains as it is.. in reader's imagination to enforce its' long lasting effect of what ifs...

So the battle of Cyke and Wolverine should just remain in fantasies or ended up a badly drawn out battle. LOL

Few interesting books.

That is because individual issue costs up to US$ 2-99.

Imagine if you started in early Image days.. It is RM 2-80 only for Uncanny X-Men # 274.

Depends entirely on your own actually.

Single comic issue releases first before HCs or TPBKs. Sometimes, they don't release in TPBKs or HCs.

Only recently that more HCs or TPBKs is released. Older X-Titles don't have HCs or TPBKs collection except Essential or Event related arc eg Fall of Mutants, Dark Phoenix Saga, Inferno Saga, X-Tinction Agenda, etc.

Where is your location? Surely there is a friendly comic shop.

You can ask for pre-order with your local comic shop. Usually you order via browsing thru the Previews which is 2 months advance.

So that you will not miss any issue as compare to comic hunting when it is released.
