oooh , i'm a mixture of 3) 6) and 9) ... i remember making money out of x-23's 1st appearance , so i'm definitely an opportunist. but then, it takes more than just a noob to accurately predict what will sell out and what won't . although , i'm pretty sure that anything to do with the main characters sells. Unfortunately, Marvel seems to have pushed Wolverine too far , and i'm actually a bit sick of him now ...

with good reason , i guess. Runaways IS a good comic. I was reading (pre Civil War) Runaways , New Avengers , Exiles(which is getting boring with the same old stories) , and the Young Avengers .

as compared to the sucky Astonishing X-Men , which seems to be draggy and boring. In fact, most if not all of the X titles seem to be getting worse. The worst, of course , is the rehashed Wolverine Origins series. A son? wtf

part of the reason, being of course, Quesada's focus on TPBs and 6 book arcs. Of course, that's what brought Marvel out of bankruptcy, so you can't blame them.

EDIT: so hey, since you're all comic book readers, you must have at some point in life gotten poisoned by Heroclix ?

does anyone have A History of Violence ?

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.

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

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.

crap. i once owned avantgarde@yahoo.com , before i gave up that nickname.

i think it was from a car name in m.a.s.k

just saying because he's saying too ...

do you guys get your comics from DCP ? what do you think the effect is , compared to say music piracy? they call it digital comics preservation , and i for one agree with some of the points , but after downloading comics do you still fork out money to buy the TPB?

assuming some of you actually download comics , seeing they can't be carried around and read in buses, cars, trains, toilets ...

has anyone read The Walking Dead , and Fables ? those are two recommended titles to pick up!

Walking Dead is like zombies X 28 days later , just replace the Rage virus with zombie virus.
