I used to collect a lot of comics, but I have now switched to graphic novels and tpb to save time and a bit of money.

For comics I have the infinity gauntlet series, house of m series, a few of the civil war, squadron supreme and various story arcs across the marvel universe.

For DC, not so much but I do have the Jim Lee drawn Superman, Supergirl and errr oh yeah..I cant believe its not the Justice League.

Just recently went on a TPB binge and got myself, Secret War, Secret Wars, Runaway Vol 1 -6 as well as BKV's Pride of Baghdad.

I have seen it. I dint really like the character design which was why I finally opted to start VS System.

Sad to say, the game is dying although it has been the best Marvel/DC game I have played.

Heh I read The Ultimates. The Ultimate storyline is way better than the normal universe. Although I loved Civil War.

Why don't you try buying from Comics Mart in Mid Valley? They have tons of TPBs smile.gif

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.

Runaway! Y the Last Man! tongue.gif Still awaiting vol 8 for Runaways and forgot which TPB I stoped for Y the Last Man.

Ended up spending the money on some pretty shitty storyline like Ultimates Annuals and also 52 (4 volumes)

Right now, pretty disgusted with how Marvel treated the Spidey affair. Sigh. As disgusted as I am, will probably get the TPB when it arrives.

Yeahhh, pity spidey
i've read my friend's collection Ultimate Spiderman HCs
the story's great but the drawing sucks!

Yeah Ultimate has a pretty good story line but the art is supposed to be designed to be more colourful and funkier to appeal to the younger market.

Vertigo. You can download the first issue here if you're interested.

Hrmm..what is it about? Any short synopsis?

You can also go to Comics Mart in Mid Valley for your comic purchase. Their library is pretty extensive, but still not that many HC. More towards TPB.

That day I went to Singapore and stepping into the Kino's Comic section is like a dream come true. So many many TPBs!!! tongue.gif

@madstone I think prefered card means you get discounts when shipping. Other than that, all cards should be usable.

I have Young Avengers on single issues. I think I finished the collection unless they added issues I dont know about tongue.gif

Ah thats weird. Oh well, google around, got other forwarding services that can send stuff to Malaysia smile.gif

Vpostasia is kinda slow. Still awaiting for my headset, already a week plus since it reached their hands.

Ahh vpost and other forwarding companies are only for stuff Amazon doesnt ship to Malaysia direct. Other than that, it is best to go with Amazon direct smile.gif

Priority shipping is a blast. biggrin.gif But so far, have been buying from Comics Mart.

is it worth it zio? What CC you use?

at least can buy more item from overseas

I've got Citibank, Maybank, HSBC and CIMB for various reasons.

Citibank because it was Clear card last time, Maybank because of the instalment plans, HSBC because I am an account holder, and CIMB because got some RM50 reward for af riend last time.

UOB i think got some cash back reward programme which is quite interesting. Worth to find out more. HSBC is ok lo. No complain so far except they take quite slow to send statement tongue.gif

But if you are using it for the convenience of shopping in Amazon then its definitely good to go. Just make sure you track your spending.
