hi guys,

Just found out about this topic. sorry, i didn't really join the earlier discussion, probably later when i'm free.

Just want to share that i'm still an avid comic books collector altho my age almost close to 30 years! Started when i was in my secondary with x-men (those with jim-lee's), x-factor (cos of quesada), joe madureira works, some from daredevil, deadpool, x-men's series, i forgot actually, was it phalanx convention? and later when image started up: wildC.A.T.S, spawn, maxx, prophet (stephen platt; probably most of you don't know him) and batman done by kelley jones. Still have some of the rare, or what you guys called it collectors items, apparently not in mint condition, so i guess i'm gonna keep it for my grandson!

After bored with work, that's when the idea to continue again started. So, i look for graphic novels, not that frequent shopper anymore, but once in a month i spare my cash for at least one title. My guideline based on this url from wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_graph...:_Award-winning

As you can see, my transition from heavily biased towards art during my teenage years and now have shifted towards heavy writing and plot type of comic books. Recently bought watchmen by Alan Moore, not that impressive artwork, but really appreciate the storyline. I heard the movie will release next year?

Please also share any graphic novel that you guys find it interesting, who knows i might add it to my list for next month shopping!

hey eric.tangps
That should refresh my mind, still have that gen-x #1 by bachalo with that gloss cover, or was it another special issue? couldn;t remember exactly, but its not with me now. at my parents home. Looks like they run some serious plot in Marvel lately. Probably drop by or check whether its worth the bucks or not. Keep the post coming in guys, really enjoy that

I bought Civil War just now while waiting for the shipping of Batman Hush Vol 1&2 and Batman: Killing Joke from Amazon UK. They're having a sale now, all the great titles now with cheap price. I spent £15 for all three books with free delivery. Unfortunately, there's a price to pay: I've to wait for another 3-4 weeks until the stock is ready! Heck, I even consider to buy few more books as the sale still ongoing once compared the price with Kinokuniya.

Btw, I started my graphic novel collection last 2 years, somehow stopped again, until recently, motivated by latest batman movie and summer sale in Amazon.

Yes, free shipping within UK only, if you spend more than £15. The sale is until end of this month I think. Unfortunately not all in stock, unless you opt for other trader in Amazon

hi guys,
just noticed that i've a lot of batman graphic novels in my collection, compare to other tittles. So, now want to order something from X-Men, unfortunately the last compilation/ cross over that I read was Phalanx Covenant, which is probably more than half a decade ago. It is not one of the best crossover IMO, compare to others such as executioner's song and another crossover (forgot the title), where Wolverine's adamantium skeleton was extracted by Magento.

So, please share your fav X Men crossover/ series here, esp those post-Phalanx Covenant era, so that I can do a lil' search before I can place my order. Thanks guys
