Just read GameAxis and they featured Gun Slinger by Stephen King. Looks like a fantastic read. Must go hunt for it

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 ( 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. This post has been edited by yitjuan: May 15 2007, 06:19 PM |

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

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.
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
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 If u like Alex Ross (best painter in the world, no contest there), try US mini-series. Good story line, and beautiful pictures Waid (Kingdom Come) Bendis and Ellis (good work with Hitch on the Authority series AND DV8+Gen13 This post has been edited by Bedok: May 16 2007, 10:33 PM |

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? |
