looks like lots of people are selling the comics now.....for me, i'm considered semi retired already cause nowadays very hard to find a good storyline. i'm currently following up with spider-man's "one more day" storyline...i think is worth reading. even though the art is not the best. anyone reading it??

i think comics cannot be used as investment especially here in malaysia. unless you have a super rare vintage issues..

Spider-Man "One More Day" Hmmm. I am kinda interested in the story-line but obligations to X-Men Run kinda deterred me from pursuing it altogether. Keep me posted on what is happening to Peter Parker and I hope they don't wave a wand to keep the marriage apart.

Well, PC Games / Online Games / PS dominated the new blood plus the stiff price of the comics is the root cause of the decline in readers. Or else The Mind Shop would still have more branches and a recent comic shop would not be closed last month.

right now there already published issue 2 of 4..basically here's what happen:
issue 1: aunt may took a bullet for peter as you know ever since he revealed his identity to the world, everyone knows who he is and those old enemies come hunt for him. she fall into coma and was warded. since they cannot afford to pay for the medical fees, she will have to transfer to the charity ward..this where peter go and beg tony stark (iron man) to help since he is a billionaire. after few fights and punches, tony finally gave 2 million

issue 2: peter went to beg (again) dr stange to turn back the time so that he can stop the shooting...but dr strange explained that peter cannot change the past..despite this, he bring back peter to the day of shooting but peter still cant stop the shooting. so back to real life, just when peter was about to give up..a little girl with red hair appear out of nowhere and she can change that.

so the question here is who is the little girl and what peter has to sacrifice in order to save aunt may? we'll found out in the next issue the little girl will offer peter the infamous deal that was spreading since beginning of this year. aunt may's life will be spared in exchange for all traces of peter's marriage to mj. the girl even show peter's future if he does not safe aunt may from dying. and obviously, peter have to accept this deal. then in issue 4 will end with peter and mj spending "one more day" together as husband and wife before the reality is altered and eventually will starts the storyline for "brand new day"


i agree with you nowadays not much people are into comic books anymore. most of my friends whom collect comic book back in the 90s has "retired" and like you say, venture into PC games. this trend leads to closure of few comic book shops at the klang valley. and not to mentioned that with the existent of torrent, they won't even have to step into book shops.

Thanks for the sypnosis, as much as I like Spider-Man, I find that you had to be a brave and talented writer to continue the marriage rather than takes up a wand and change it. True Spider-Man becomes a bore or maybe harder to write but that is a challenge. Remember the Spider-Clones fiasco when they decided to take out Peter Parker??? Since it is still unknown, I hope Marvel have the guts to keep the status quo.

Maybe being part of New Avengers is stalling his progress.

I am not into Torrent as I kinda love to have a comic on the hand to read, DVD to watch on TV not PC. Maybe this is a part of me that is not techie but I prefer it that way.

lol...i actually read ultimate spiderman..the art there is great...i find most ultimate comics have great art...spiderman is definitely a cool character..but a newbie gotta start at ultimate tho....hard 2 keep up with the current one...i dont even noe if he's with mary jane or the other lady

As I had mentioned earlier, Ultimate line is the new line bringing the characters into the new age minus the long history. Though this is a good and ideal starting point for new reader, long history of character/story would make the comic richful. Hehe.. For Spider-Man, Uncle Ben... Gwen Stacy.. the marriage of Peter & Mary Jane... etc making Spider-Man more colourful. For X-Men, Dark Phoenix Sage, Fall of the Mutants, X-Tinction Agenda, etc..

Ultimate Spider-Man got the most longest Writer & Artist in the team thus making it ideal for good continuity.

lol..the art is damn nice tho...
but i dont buy the comic....torrents babeh..as with spawn as well, another great comic with great art

LOL.. Oddly I never like SPAWN. He is supposed to be like using all his powers up by now right?

lol.....i actually didnt finish reading the story tho...towards the end getting boring...but the art is totally cool..and i;m sure the comics have value

SPAWN early issues would fetch quite a value. Imagine if you can get a hand on # 1 Spider-Man or # 1 Superman in Near-Mint Condition.

It seems that this Forum has lack of participation. At this rate it gonna be a long time before a new Forum can be set-up.

the Death of CA. Omnibus/TPB sudah keluar ke?

Capt America Omnibus is out the last I check. Since it is around RM300-00, dont think the shops will carry a lot of them. Happy hunting.

Care to elaborate which shops? thanks mate!

....omg..why is it so expensive?
its TPB right?
usually around rm50-rm100 oni wad?

Last I check, I noted that it was listed in Kinokuniya Website but now I am not sure since I can't find it anymore. Borders would be a good choice too since I can find New X-Men Omnibus there.

Omnibus is a huge collection set. Capt America Omnibus collects # 1 - 25 issues worth plus Annual.

New X-Men Omnibus collects New X-Men # 114 - 154 plus Annual. So technically it is cheaper than individual issues.

ahh...icic...wei...u like a comics sifu ah...akkakaa..
i think the cap america omnibus is worth it...it includes the dude's death right?
imho, the new x-men omnibus....starting at 114...it would make me feel kinda lost

yea, wanted to know if this Omnibus includes the Death series? Cos from the reviews, looks like not included lah...thanks mate!

I noticed IF we buy 2 hardcovers book from Amazon.com, we can save around RM40-50

Normal HC cost around RM102 at Kino & RM99++ at Borders (so 2 HCs=RM204)
If we buy from Amazon.com it's cost RM161.00++ plus shipping & handling

IF u want to buy HardCoverlah

Not a true God of Comics as my scope is not covering all bases of Comics. I limit myself to X-Titles and few facourites. Anyway it would be a great joy to help right as much as I can.

New X-Men Omnibus by Grant Morrison depends on your appetite. Anyway it is louded by all on his approach on X-Men where they sport the movie black spandex. The art is inconsistent until the last arc but buy for the story. If you like good artwork, try X-Men : Messiah Complex One-Shot by Marc Silvestri.



Captain America is killed on # 25. So he should be dead on that issue. Alas, it is not the death that would be interesting but rather what is the follow-up on the issue without Steve Rogers.
