QUOTE(Mr Jones @ Mar 6 2011, 01:58 AM) So who is everyone's favourite writer at the moment? I've been reading Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four and Secret Warriors and think his stuff is great. Anyone else like it? Geoff Johns, Ed Brubaker & Brian Michael Bendis.

QUOTE(Mr Jones @ Mar 6 2011, 06:13 PM) I saw very good reviews for ASM 655, what did you think? First off all, i really like marcos martin's art, clean and old skool feel to it. I even bought an extra copy of ASM featuring his cover so that i can frame it. Dan Slott on the other hand, is showing his true colors when he became the sole asm writer. ASM 655, its a great issue for me. The first part of the story, its about marla's funeral and the story is without dialog. The second story deals with peter's guilt from day one - uncle ben death, and how he tried to mend it ever since. This year gonna be a great year from spidey imho. In 654.1, there's a preview of what coming ahead - including MJ getting spideys power!

QUOTE(eric.tangps @ Mar 6 2011, 05:54 AM) Chris Claremont ---> no new title at the moment On that subject has anyone heard what Claremont is coming out with next? He apparently has a contract/deal with Marvel that means he must have 2 books work a month. Same is true for Tom DeFalco and why his Spider-Girl kept going so long even though sales were pretty poor.

Yeah I was an interview with Slott and he said he thought it was the best comic he ever wrote, seems you agree too. I don't buy single issues anymore but I think that's sold me on getting the trade.

Amazon annual glitch (bleedingcool.com) checked n confirm pricing as such :-
"But what better fitting occasion on this anniversary than for a number of comics hardcovers to start exhibiting glitchy behaviour on Amazon?
The first Scarlet hardcover volume by Brian Bendis and ALex Maleev, due to be released in July is 54% off at Amazon, down from $24.99 to $11.55.
The Captain America Lives Omnibus by Ed Brubaker, Bryan Hitch, Butch Guice, Luke Ross and Steve Eptingª is 53% off, down from $75 to $35.57.
And the Fantastic Four Vol 4 hardcover by Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epoting collecting the death of Johhny Storm and more out in May, is 54% off, down from $24.99 to $11.04.
When you figure in shipping and processing, Amazon is losing money on these titles. If anyone can work out why without using the phrase "loss leader" we'd love to know more..."

Go for it. The last time Bleeding Cool showed cheap prices I ordered, Amazon came back and said it was a mistake but they gave me $35 vouchers so I just ordered some other comics for free!

I've got quite a few trades I want to offload to make some space. Anyone in Penang interested? (can't be bothered with postage and paypal). Stuff like New Avengers and Brubaker Daredevil, Identity Crisis, Slott She Hulk, Millar Spiderman, Invincible etc.
I'll sell for RM10 a book or something like that just to justify buying a couple of new trades, or could do swaps.

Just found this thread, didn't know there was a thread for comic collectors. Been collecting comics on and off since 1994. Used to collect spidey but the whole clone saga was very annoying and made me stop collecting spidey nowadays read mostly Dark Horse stuff like Hellboy, BPRD and The Goon plus some Marvel Stuff. currently waiting for my Conan TPBs from TFAW.com.
