PLEASE READ THE FIRST POST

Im kinda part timer to the reader.

well, i had read few of them, Kingdom Come, Gauntlet of Infinite, Earth X, Universe X (i miss out some volume), Dark Knight Return, Batman: No Mans Land (2 volume only), Battle Chaser (quit it since it failed to be comic as well as manga).

Yikes Runaway HC? You must be a big fan.

with good reason , i guess. Runaways IS a good comic. I was reading (pre Civil War) Runaways , New Avengers , Exiles(which is getting boring with the same old stories) , and the Young Avengers .

as compared to the sucky Astonishing X-Men , which seems to be draggy and boring. In fact, most if not all of the X titles seem to be getting worse. The worst, of course , is the rehashed Wolverine Origins series. A son? wtf

part of the reason, being of course, Quesada's focus on TPBs and 6 book arcs. Of course, that's what brought Marvel out of bankruptcy, so you can't blame them.

EDIT: so hey, since you're all comic book readers, you must have at some point in life gotten poisoned by Heroclix ?

I have seen it. I dint really like the character design which was why I finally opted to start VS System.

Sad to say, the game is dying although it has been the best Marvel/DC game I have played.

I used to collect a lot of comics, Marvel, DC, Image, Etc.

But now stop already, like many of you since the price is so high these days.
Have lots of complete sets like spawn, spiderman, batman, superman, X-men.
Thinking of selling them to someone who really takes care of comics.

As my room is running out of space, too cramped with boxes of comics and toys. Basically my room is like a store room already

Cheers

hmm mindshop still around?

Actually i'm a big fan of Brian K Vaughan, Mark Millar, Brian Michael Bendis, Joss Whedon
BUT BK Vaughan is my fav right now
Y: The Last Man is my fav comic book right now
eventhough the story kinda draggy, i like it
enjoyed reading it
Plus Jack of Fables, i think it's gonna be the big one for the next few month
What about Fables?
I find it's kinda interesting coz the idea is fresh & the artwork for the cover are awesomeI think mindshop is still around in PJ SS14 Cold Storage, am i right?

nowadays i just go to Kino or Borders but sometime Popular Book at OU
sometimes i ordered HC from Amazon coz i found out that most of the cover from Kino & Amazon are totally different
for example Runaways, for TPB, at Kino, they're selling it in small TPB
but from Amazon, they're selling in normal size of TPB
so, might as well i buy it from amazon in HC for US market

From Kino; Runaways Vol 1 (TPB) & Vol 2 Hard Cover


From Amazon.com; Runaways Vol 1 & Vol 2 Hard Cover

Here, here. Another BKV fan reporting in. Are you reading his Ex Machina series as well?

Yet to read Jack of Fables but I love Fables. Is it as good as the core series?

Ex Machina? Not yet dude, looking forward
lots of TPB & HC to buy n yet too little time, so little budget

Jack of Fables i think ok la so far
Vol 1 only, not much can say abt it
hafta wait until vol 3 or 4 to decide whether can match Fables or Y: The Last Man

Any Mark Millar of The Ultimates fan here?
Have anyone of you read The Ultimates? It's awesome man!
Vol 1 HC already sold out at Kino, hafta order from Amazon.com man

Heh I read The Ultimates. The Ultimate storyline is way better than the normal universe. Although I loved Civil War.

Why don't you try buying from Comics Mart in Mid Valley? They have tons of TPBs

Actually, i prefer HC, better & got lots of freebies inside like sketches, notes bla bla bla n one thing for sure, the pages is bigger than comics or TPB
BUT if i can not wait the HC, i will buy the TPB version like The New Avengers, Vol 1-4 now
BUT still like The Ultimates, i want to wait for the HC version, it's better

For Vertigo, they normally sold in TPB.

Anyone read The Pride of Baghdad by BK Vaughan?

Yep I have it. That was a brilliant comic.

Are the extras found in the book as well?

Hey... Maybe if you guys got some spare time and list out your collection on the website I provided on the first post... I finished mine and after a while the site generates a price increase of 33.7% in my collection. Hehehe.... Cool!! !

Furthermore, you can even generate a 1st appearance of a new character in any comic book report but it is not too detail as the information comes from the members itself.

I understand that most of you are talking about the current storyline and I'm totally at lost with it as I'm retired from buying the new ones but still hugging as tight as I can to the old collection I have.

The price is not only reason I stopped purchasing comics. There was a point in time that drawing in the comics becoming too cartoonish or more manga like which I really do not like so hence the retirement.

I started the hobby a couple of years back. Still collecting but most TPB.

My collection
Ultimate Spider-Man (Vol1-Vol16)
Superman/Batman(vol1-4)

Kingdom Come
Watchmen
Spiderman: The Other
Marvel Zombies
Earth X

House of M (I want to sell this, anyone interested PM me)
Astonishing X-men (Vol1-12) (I want to sell this also. Want to change to TPB since I the single issue. PM if interested)
Ultimate Fantastic 4 (Selling this also.)

The only problem I can see with collecting TBP it takes to long to wait.

Actually collecting Hard cover is longer than collecting TPB

For me, i dun mind at all, as long as i will get nice & better comics, i'll wait for Hard Cover.

For a reminder, normally HC come out with lot of freebies inside & one thing, the page is bigger than comics & TPBs
