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?

Hi Guys!
Glad could find an active comic thread out here in good ol LYN! actually i was hoping you guys could help me out, I was wondering if we could compile a list of the comic shops in Klang valley or even Malaysia. Wonder where u guys in penang buy ur comics from? Don't tell me everyone buys it from Ebay? anyway...i just started collecting comics about 2 years ago, and i have about 70% of the whole civil war colection..yes..im one of the suckers who enjoy collecting the thin comics(waddaya call em?)...seldom buy TPB or even HC..hahaha
Anyway, the shop i go to is Comics Corner in SS15. The malay guy there is kinda knowledgeable but they seem to always run out fo the good popular comics..serves me right for going there once a month..haha. Iwas hoping to source my comics from other shops..the one in mid valley seldom stock up the thin comics(gee, i really dunno wats it called) and they take a long time to order stuff. SO guys, hope u can help out a buddy here and provide some good reliable comics shop address!

Thanks! will try to list down my collection sometime soon!
maybe we can do some small gathering and compare comics or sumthin! haha..thisis so geek culture...but i love it

Hi, Just wondering if anybody can help me a Penang based comics fan about whereabouts of Neomart which was in 3rd Floor Gurney Plaza until last month(July 2009). Their emails are not replied for certain reasons
Not sure where they went to but no idea of their new location. They used to have lots of issues so apart from that site, wonder if any comic shops are open in penang apart from Borders? icon_question.gif
not good to know just one outlet being available for comics searching plus Borders seemed to have rearranged their positioning of comics

Haha, used to work part time in NeoMart...but dunno where it moves to d. I think it's Prima Tanjung, but not sure if the new shop open yet or not. Heard it's different management also. I also headache la, dunno where to buy comic now. But luckily I am a tpb guy. Borders has tpbs but always slow and no new stuffs one....

Does Splash Page sell TPB or HC? Or single issues only?

Kinokuniya looks great. A lot of tpbs I want there. But too bad it only accept credit card payment. T.T. Sucks since I'm just a student with no credit card

It reads better in collected format too. Last time I'm subscribed month to Spider-Man titles. It's a pain to reread them and not as nice in single issues form

It's actually downloading comics that made me into a comic fan and started buying more and more HC and TPB. few years ago I'm just a casual Spider-Man fan and I only subscribed to the Spider-Man titles. Then I found out about comic scans and started downloading Batman...avengers....Wolverine. And I'm hooked. I bought more and more comics of Batman, Avengers and others. Then my local comic shop closed down and then I resorted to downloading single issues first and buying the trades later

Yeah. The downloading comics thing is a pretty gray area. You can argue that it makes people drop their subscription, but then some people actually started buying comics because of downloading. It is a very controversial topics and I think there's few of this topics on comic forums. It is very interesting to read about it

Anyone here has Absolute Batman THe Long Halloween? Long Halloween is the first Batman book I bought and it is one of my all time favorite. However, my old copy is breaking apart and I think of buying one Absolute version for collection, but the price is high. I can afford it but I wonder if it is worth it?
