I start collecting comic recently: all 3 Spider-Man titles and New Avengers. And I also buy tpbs too.

Anyone has the Civil War TPB? How much does it cost?

Spawn 11 - 22
Team Youngblood 1- 11 ( blush.gif )
Spawn vs Batman (Image version)
Violator mini series
Dark Knight Returns
Batman Year 1 (1st print)

and my pride and joy:

Sandman Volume 1 - 10 (hard paperback ver)
also the one off between neil gaiman and that ff artist whose name eludes me for now.

I've been looking around for paperback sized clear acrylic cases to store my Sandman volumes. Nothing too expensive though. Any ideas ?


p/s: This thread makes me wanna read them again!

Yeah! Read on mate!

my friend said (who is a comic freak since school boy till now, 40++), Civil War gonna cost you more if u want to collect
so, he advised me to torrent in thru the net
BUT if you a hardcore fan of comic, better wait for Hard Cover
or may be TPBs

Do visit MPH or Popular at OU coz sometimes they have special promo & discounts for comics

Torrent the side stories. Just get the main story TPB.

Because if you do not read the side stories, the main story can be a lil confusing.

amen! i have actually all of 'em in my comp ... (*shhh*) Civil War , Secret Wars and what not. i actually buy only Cable & Deadpool , and any indie which features breathtaking artwork.

hey hey , like Silent Dragon by Leinel Francis Yu. google it if you haven't heard of it. the storyline sucks , but the artwork is simply ... awesome.

Leinil Francis Yu is one of my fav artist
BUT too bad for him coz he's normally paired with bad writer
so far i bought his artwork in Superman: Birthright written by Mark Waid
lucky for him coz the story is great, i like the storyline done by Mark Waid

others of my fav artist is, Stuart Immonen of Ultimate X-Men
his artwork is superb & lucky for him coz he's paired with BM Bendis, BK Vaughan AND;
Bryan Hitch of The Ultimates, his artwork with Mark Millar story is superbly done
too bad Marvel not interested in doing movie about The Ultimates
IF u read The Ultimates, the panels itself showed exactly what's should appear in a movie
read the book like u watching the film all along

ultimate x-men ? don't get me wrong , i like his work , but all the characters look the same. i'll dig up a few issues and show you what i mean. Professor X , Wolverine and Cyclops look like brothers. I didn't know the X-gene caused everyone to look alike , unlike the "blue" gene in cable/deadpool tongue.gif

i'm not totally digging for artwork but the storyline for sure
just check it out the story written by BM Bendis & BK Vaughan
it's nice & kinda catchy with the storyline like that

my fav writers; Mark Millar, Brian Michael Bendis, Brian K Vaughan, Mark Waid, Alan Moore, Bill Willingham, Brian Azzarello & Warren Ellis

Artwork is something you can look everywhere
BUT comics with great writtings come from great writers

For example, look at Lienil Francis Yu, great artist with superb work
BUT when he's paired with lousy writers, the artwork can't support it
try look at Y: The Last Man
the artwork isn't that great BUT the storyline is catchy n fun to read

sorry , but i replied that in regards to the fact that Immonen was one of your fave artists. tongue.gif

of course there are 2 types of comics i buy. the ones with great storylines , and the ones with great artwork. very rarely do these two mesh.

oh , another fave series was Batman Hush. but the arc immediately after that was sooo dodgy.

Ahhh, comics. I used to just go into the shop and hang until I got kicked out lol ( I hate 'Magic the gathering' crowds doh.gif ) I like that rastafarian guy workin the comic store at OU, hes soooo cool laugh.gif

I used to be an avid fan so i end buying hundreds (literally) of comics and end up not finished reading some of em. Kingdom Come is just a masterpiece, who thought Spiderman and Batman can be good friends, eh? Try DV8, Gen 13 the first series (2nd if you count the mini-series) and Batman- A long Halloween mini series is still few of the best imho rclxms.gif

If u like Alex Ross (best painter in the world, no contest there), try US mini-series. Good story line, and beautiful pictures icon_idea.gif and u heard about that X mini-series?Earth, Universe and Paradise? really want to know the stories but I stoped buying comics then (thank you GF vmad.gif )

Waid (Kingdom Come) Bendis and Ellis (good work with Hitch on the Authority series AND DV8+Gen13 notworthy.gif ) is a good story teller but unfortunately I am more into pretty pictures rolleyes.gif so if it got good pictures, I will end up buying the comics and reading em.

just spent the weekend browsing through my old comics. re-read Batman:Knightfall and spider-man:clone saga. man those were the days! 2 batmen and 2 spider-men.

btw, anyone have the batman/azreal/ash cross-over. i saw the old add again and realized that i could never find it all these years. does it actually goes into printing?
