Pride of Baghdad is a masterpiece! I've got to reacquire it - in HC. In addition, Bone and Watchmen are a must, too. I got out of comics when my wife was pregnant the first time and now I selectively get back to them. I'm caught up on The Walking Dead and am working right now on Fables. Batman The Long Halloween never left me though.

I plan on picking up the Absolute edition of Batman The Long Halloween this week. and you are right Pride of Baghdad is incredible! If you haven't already you need to check out his new book Saga.

Getting deeper into the Hamaverse with IDWs new G.I. Joe comics.

I'm also revisiting the Joe classics from Marvel. Will likely end up recollecting the comic books or buying the TPB ones.

For the time being I'm enjoying looking at the old school G.I. Joe marvel classics. Reading #1-#155

great Cap #100 KBA! i have a couple myself.

i tried collecting CGC but i just can't get behind the whole premise of it. sure, sports cards & coins yeah...but a book? plus every time i turn around i'm hearing about some controversy with it. another mega dealer that's slipped trimming or something past their super restoration detection, or how the owners or management are involved in some fraud.

right now i'm trying to get through "House of Leaves" but damn, it can be irritating!

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm not too fussed with CGC. The condition is fine, and this way I can go get it professionally framed, maybe with a picture of me with Stan.

[Duck]

The only old comic that I really care about getting is a copy of Issue #1 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I missed my chance on midtown comics to get a good first printing for around $300 around 6 months ago :gah:. I honestly don't care about the condition I just want one and not pay an arm and a leg for it.

Sealed cases for coins and cards I can see but not for comics.

But hey...to each their own. If a person likes CGC comics, more power to them.

Can you post any links for me showing irregularities at the CGC?

I should have clarified my previous post. I starting reading/collecting Marvel comics as a kid in the mid 70s. Of course I buy current raw newsstand issues and beater reading copies of silver/bronze age books.

But now that I have disposable income as an adult, I like to buy books in CGC 9.8 grade for those special issues I liked as a kid. Mostly for sentimental value and display purposes next to my statues.

A tiny part of it is for investment purposes but that's the last thing on my mind. I wouldn't trust raw books from anyone unless it was graded by a 3rd party professional or else it's a beater/reading copy.

Sorry about the confusion. :peace

[kobayashi93]

Today's comics: Avengers vs X-Men 2, Wolverine and the X-Men 9, Batman 8, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo(a graphic novel) preview, The Manhattan Projects 2, Batman Beyond Unlimited 3, X-Men 27, CatWoman 8, Wonder Woman 8.

Also reading: Clash of Kings.

[SnakeDoctor]

Huh. Never heard of this, but the short description on the cover makes me curious and want to read it. Have you started it yet? If so, is it any good?

I think the book is half analysis, and half biography of Grant Morrison. I've heard the superhero analysis is reasonably insightful ... and the Morrison biography parts are pretentious, self-aggrandizing and self-absorbed.

Stan 'The Man' Lee signing my Cap 100 I showed you guys earlier. He was in great spirits, shook my hand, and slid my comic and card over to me saying 'It's all yours!'. His agents kept all interactions to a bare minimum, you really couldnt talk to him in Calgary. Wish I could have chatted with him. What a gong show line up it was too. Tons of people were sent away.

One of my favorite writers, Peter David, was in Calgary too. He was signing an absurd amount of Trek novels, and was interestingly surprised to see Marvel stuff. He was a very humble gentlemen.

Not sure if you still needed an answer Teddy but why not try "Brand New Day" since it's pretty recent & starts Pete's life after they retconned his marriage with MJ.

Don't blame you there.

I'm trying to track down some older valuable pieces, I think next one will be The Incredible Hulk #181. We'll see...

I been reading Spawn, up to about issue #110 or so. I'm starting to remember why I stopped reading it years ago. Gets boring...

You ever into Spawn?

[hairlesswookiee]

This weekend I got a hanker to read some DC books. I read Batman and Superman Earth One books. I liked the Batman one much more than Superman. I loved the different spin on the Bruce and Alfred relationship.

[spiderjew69]

Picked up a marvel graphic novel "the siege" this weekend and I loved it. I stopped reading really after civil war so i was a little lost but I enjoyed it very much. Going to the comic shop this weekend to buy some material that will bridge the gap between civil war and siege... I stared at the page when sentry ripped ares in half for a good 5 minutes thinking how bad *** that was. Anyone have any suggestions on where to go after siege for good reading? I was thinking house of m heard it was good

[soundwave]

I think Secret Invasion comes before Siege but can't be sure.

House of M is by all accounts very good.

I would recommend Thanos Imperative as that's awesome but follows on from the Annihilation story arc so I would recommend reading them first but they are mostly OOP so can be hard to find & expensive.

Been having a big splurge recently on GN's so will get some pics up as soon as everything arrives :)

[DarkArtist81]

I've been rereading old GN's, because of my money situation not really allowing for any new comic purchases.

But I've been on a Batman kick due to the new film.. just got done reading Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween, The Killing Joke, and The Man Who Laughs.

I'm starting on The Dark Knight Returns today... Been a while since I read that classic.

I gave up on spawn around #80. it's the comicbook version of seinfield. a book about nothing :lol

[Agent23]

just got done reading Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween, The Killing Joke, and The Man Who Laughs.

I've read most of those and love them.

How do you like The Man Who Laughs? I have it on my Amazon wish list to buy next after I finish reading the Knightfall story.

If you like The Long Halloween, make sure you read Dark Victory and Haunted Knight, both are done by Loeb and Sale (in case you haven't already).

[SepticFlesh]

Just picked up the graphic novel "Wasteland:Apocalyptic Edition" both volumes 1 and 2. So far I am loving this comic and I am also surprised that even though this comic is in black and white, it is still a fantastic graphic novel. I am definately glad I got into this story...my interest in picking up this graphic novel series was from watching one of my favorite movies "the Book of Eli". I was looking for a graphic novel that had a strong post apocalyptic feel to it and this one definately has all that. :)

I really enjoyed The Man Who Laughs. Not very long though so imo only get it if you can get it for a decent price.

Oh absolutely! I loved it.. it's a nice take on Batman and Gordon's first encounter with the Joker. The only problem with it is that it is criminally short. I wish it would have had more to it.

And I have all three of the Loeb/Sale Batman books... I wish they would team up again, because those books are second only to Miller's Batman stuff. I liked Superman: For All Seasons but it wasn't as good as their Batman work.

Spider-Man: Blue was badass however. :D

[Grenouille]

I just picked up Vol. 1& 2 of the new printing of Knightfall. I wanted to read the story again after seeing DKR, and was just too lazy to fight through the long boxes to get to the single issues.:lol

The Secret Origin Of Superman by Jeff John and Gary Frank.

Stunning! Personally my favourite comic book art.

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, I loved that one... Great art by Frank, he is the BEST at drawing Clark/Supes. He always portrays him as Christopher Reeve, which is just too cool.

[Teddy Daniels]

Yes loving it also. John and Frank are a good team. Also love the look of Batman Earth One by these guys.

[SepticFlesh]

I should be receiving the first volume of "the Absolute Sandman" Hard Copy edition hopefully this Monday, I paid close to $70.00 for this but from what I have been told it is an awesome comic to get into. I am also in the process of finishing up "Preacher". I have all issues in the paperback verions. So far finishing up volume 2 and I am definately excited that I decided to get back into dark comics again. I do read a huge amount of regular novels...however, having the artwork of a comic book in front of me as I am diving into the story is an extremely fun way to spend my nights. :cool:
"Preacher is funner than going to the movies"!!...lol, kind of a corny quote from Kevin Smith on the cover of the first volume...not sure I agree with that 100% but sometimes I do feel like that when reading a novel or comic.

~~I'm about halfway through Incorporated. Will probably finish it tonight. Is Batman: Court of Owls any good?? That popped up on my recommended reading list on Amazon so I figured I might get it to go through before Sinestro Corps War comes in.

Yeah Prime is awesome! I got 6 months free for being a student and then it renews in a couple of months for half off :yess: and yes Court of Owls was very good. Scott Snyder is my 2nd favorite writer. He knows how to write good but dark stories. If you get it and enjoy it try out his other books. American Vampire Swamp Thing "new 52" and my favorite Severed

If you enjoy Snyders writing check out some of his other books. American Vampire and Severed are both really good.

Just recently got into reading comicbooks again after a very (very) long pause ;)
First book I bought: The Killng Joke (Alan Moore & Brian Bolland).
Love it! Fantastic art and captivating story.

Have Batman, The court of owls and The Joker on order.

Was hoping you could point me in the right direction of some awesome Marvel comic books.
Spider-Man, Hulk and X-men are all characters I like.
Deadpool looks interesting...
Where to start?! ;)

Finished Batman; Court of Owls tonight.
Fantastic book, action packed, intense and an exiting read, for sure.
Wonderful writing and the art is superb as well!

Anyone know how many parts there will be?
I know The City of Owls is coming early next year... Will there be more after that?
I saw a Night of the Owls as well, guessing thats part no. 3?
Or maybe part 1 and 2 in the same book?

[SepticFlesh]

Just getting back into Comics/Graphic Novels over the past few months after about a 16 year layoff and loving them much much more than I used to.

Here are a few I recently picked up which are:
"The Absolute Sandman, Vol. 1"...Have not started this one yet as I am currently still in the process of finishing "Preacher" first which is incredible..I am up to "Ancient History" so far. I had no idea the book for the version of Sandman I got was going to be this huge (I bought it kind of in a spur of a moment without much thinking) so I really hope I do enjoy getting into Sandman, I hear Neil Gaiman is supposed to have written incredible stuff so I do not think one can go wrong with the Sandman...time will tell for me.

I also decided to check out Clive Barker's new "Hellraiser" comics which are now in Graphic Novel form from "BOOM Studios". I understand that both he and a guy by the name of Christopher Monfette are both Authors of this new Hellraiser story and so far I am pretty impressed just 2 volumes in (Prelude, and Chapters 1-4...then Volume 2 has Chapters 5-8).
IMO this is how Hellraiser should have turned out unlike what Hollywood did with Hell on Earth. Not giving anything away but Pinhead's character is much different in these comics. Any Hellraiser fans like myself should definately pick these up especially for as cheap as they can be had from Amazon.

Here is some nice pictures:

Interesting feedback on Hellraiser thanks mate - as this is one I've never read (and never seen the movies) but always been interested in because of just how dark and twisted the whole pinhead character appears in the pictures.

I'll grab a copy of issue 1 or whichever comes first in the storyline from comiXology and give it a spin. Ta! :-)

Just sitting here at work and BookDepository delivered my latest order... Absolute Hush, Hush Unwrapped, The Black Mirror and Court of Owls Vol 1 all hardback.

It's a fantastic book.

[dntfeedthemnkys]

Oh yeah - great pickups!!

How is "Joker" by Lee Bermjo?

Yeah, I read the Court of Owls arc digitally and LOVED it. Had to get it in hardcover.. also got a few individual issues here and there.

Halfway through the Black Mirror and it is UNREAL. Not surprised considering it's the arc that got Snyder the Batman gig in New 52. Highly recommended.

Also just finished "Batman: The Man Who Laughs" and it is also a deadset ripper.

"The Joker" is a great book.
You get to follow Joker from the eyes of a small-time gangster whom wants nothing more than to become Joker's right hand man...
And it quickly escalates from there :wink1:
There is also a few well known characters from the Batman-univers in the story... But with a whole new, more human, look. Very cool!
The story is really interesting and you get to see just how "crazy" the Joker is.
The writing is very good and the artwork is superb.
It has a more realistic tone to it and it's very (very) graphic! :clap
Highly recommended.

Good to hear about the "Black Mirror" and "The Man Who Laughs".
They are both on my list of novels to buy! :)

Yeah.. agree.. here are my thoughts:

http://dontfeedthemonkeys.com/2012/11/06/death-of-the-family-review/

Totally going the digital path.

I sort of go like this:

1) Pick up individual issues I'm following via comiXology app on the iPad.
2) Any individual issues I love I'll order online (no local stores) to be delivered bagged and boarded.
3) Arcs I want to collect, I'll order a hardcover trade (or absolute) for.

So, might end up with 3 copies of an issue in some circumstances - but I'm very okay with that. :-)

God damn, I love Uncanny X-force and Remender. Shame the series is coming to an end, but pretty excited to see him take the reigns from Brubaker on Cap. If Ed was to give Cap up, Remender was always my first choice.

Also, Saga blows my mind every issue. Love it.

I had my apprehensions too, but I just finished reading and I liked it. Never read Snyder's work before; liked the way he built up the story. Will have to wait for the Vol. 2 till March next year. Read some reviews at Amazon and just ordered The Black Mirror too! Hoping it will be a good read too.

I enjoyed the court of owls waaaay more on the second read. For me, batman is the must read title of the New 52.
And the owls spin off "Talon" has had a very promising start.
Two issues into the Death of the Family arc and I reckon it's on track to become one of the definitive joker stories.

I grabbed "the black mirror" from book depository. Feared I wouldn't like it as its not a Bruce Wayne batman. Read it. Jaw dropped. Loved it. No wonder they gave him the gig in the new 52.
Snyders work is simply fantastic.
I've really enjoyed "American Vampire" too.

Picked up Remender's Cap and Waid's Hulk. Interesting Remender is going with the plot device he used in Uncanny X-Force; an orphaned child of villainous roots. I like it though.

Waid's Hulk seems to be using the tired 'sometimes' alliance Banner and the monster share. Not familiar with Waid's work, but the artist they have for the new plot rocks.

Will pull both again next month.

Just got back into buying some comics. Read just recently:

Thor: God of Thunder #1 - Love the story setup so far. Amazing art from Ribic. Really think this will be special.

Amazing Spider-Man #698 - WOW. Enough said.

Wolverine Max #1 - eh, it was ok. Hope it really gets better or I'm going to bail. I really need a definitive Wolverine or X-Men comic to read. Might grab All New X-Men and check that out.

Daredevil #1 - (I've had all the issues just haven't had time to read them in the past year) Awesome. A reason why he's consistently been the best Marvel comic in the years since the Kevin Smith reboot. Consistently the best.

Hope to read soon:

Batman Court of the Owls and Death of the Family arcs

Anyone read the latest Deadpool 1 or 2 yet? Thinking about those as well.

All New X-Men #1,2 - Good stuff so far. It's been like 20 years since I read a good X-Men comic, though admittedly I've yet to read the Whedon Astonishing that I've been wanting to. For some reason Marvel just never seems to put the effort into X-Men when these guys along with Spider-Man were undoubtedly their cash cows in the 80s and 90s. Everything's been Avengers, Avengers, Avengers for years now. Glad this is starting out good.

All New X-Men #1,2 - Good stuff so far. It's been like 20 years since I read a good X-Men comic, though admittedly I've yet to read the Whedon Astonishing that I've been wanting to. For some reason Marvel just never seems to put the effort into X-Men when these guys along with Spider-Man were undoubtedly their cash cows in the 80s and 90s. Everything's been Avengers, Avengers, Avengers for years now. Glad this is starting out good.

All New X-Men #2 is pretty good so far.

Astonishing X-Men is great. Whedon re-invigorated the X-Men with it. When you've had your fill of Astonishing, I'd check out Messiah Complex and the stuff following that for some pretty good X-Men tales.

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Any thoughts on this one folks? Read some reviews but other than Finch's artwork, I did not read anything positve about it. They say the story is quite forgettable.

Read the new "Thor: Thunder God" #1 and #2.

Great stuff. Great art, awesome story and villain setup. Thor's uniform is great and I love how they are depicting his persona. It's dark, gritty and very norse like.

Definitely interested in what else they are planning for this series.

Yup! Got that one and the Black Mirror too. Guess I'll stop with the New 52 till the Death of the Family/COO Vol. 2 collection is out.

Ordered The Batman/Judge Dredd Collection. Never got a chance to read it way back. Looking forward to it. :)

I read the series as the issues came out and remember it being pretty good. Nothing as spectacular as snyder's series but still a decent read. As is the current run from Gregg hurwitz on the dark knight.

[Mqhuynh]

Just read the New Avengers HC Volume 6 - Dark Reign issues. I know i'm way behind. Still a good read. One more HC to pick up. Hopefully in the next few weeks before Christmas.Also picked up Avengers VS X-men HC but haven't started that yet.

just read:

Detective Comics 15, very good. Really enjoying the new creative team on the book.

I Love Trouble: was Ok, but probably won't keep up on it.

Planetoid 4, solid issue. Really like this book.

Thanks, guess I will get it :)

Sorry for the late reply but your welcome. :wave also, with the new 52 batman titles, I really enjoyed batman and robin written by Peter tomasi. Some people didn't like it but I think it's been really great. Really made me enjoy Damian Wayne's character. As did the new batman inc from grant Morrison.

For those that have read it, how is the new x men title from marvel now? I don't read a lot of marvel except amazing spider man and Scarlett spider, but I'm a big x men fan. Loved morrisons run and read the first Wheaton trade but haven't read them since. Is it easy to just pick up issue 1 and know what's going on?

[Russell1982]

Congrats on the haul. :clap I can't recommend batman earth one highly enough. I absolutely adored it. The entire thing was just brilliant.

[KBA]

Read Saga #8. Wow. I don't think I could love this book any more. Best thing I've read in a long time.

Captain America #2. I love the year passing twist. For me, this feels like Planet Captain America to Planet Hulk. I have a feeling Remender is going somewhere special with this run. Romita's art is growing on me too.

Indestructible Hulk #2. This book is alright. Worth pulling if you're a fan of the character. I feel like it's pretty vanilla so far, but Waid is most likely building towards the inevitable fall for Banner.

Anyone read Matt Fraction's Hawkeye yet? BKV gave it high praise, and I was a big fan of Fraction's Iron Man run.

That's awesome! I love seeing old comics treated well. My friend has The Incredible Hulk #181 graded, and it's always a neat thing to see when we hang out. The idea that this is the one that started it all, and just how much the character has caught on in the time since (Wolverine in his case); you're owning a piece of history.

Thanks! Yup, I collect Silver/Bronze age CGC books purely for sentimental reasons. These are the comics I grew up on as a kid in the '70s. Now as an adult with some disposable income, it's nice to own the best of the best. Makes for nice displays with my statues.

I will never sell these for profit nor was it my intention.

By the way, Hulk #181 in CGC 9.9 (single highest in ther world) sold for $150,000 last year. :horror

[batfan08]

Damn, yeah, he actually bought his from a local comic book store for, I think, $500, and sent it in to be graded. I think it's about a 6.8 or 6.9. Not the best condition, but far from the worst. My being a DC guy, I'd love to own Detective #27 and Action #1.:lol

Picked up digitally TWD 104-106 and Invincible 94-96. Gotta hurry up and catch up on Invincible before issue 100.

[KBA]

Got caught up in last week.

Captain America #3 - Really shaky on the whole Zola/Steve's chest thing. Would be a shame for this one to start going down hill this early.

Hulk #3 - Fun smashing. Really excited to see the Banner and his new Baby Sitter Bot dynamics. The ending was great.

Saga - Loved it again. This issue showed how strong the supporting cast is getting with The Will and Marko's Ex. I always have a laugh, get disgusted, wide eyes and slack jawed everything issue. Great book.

[RagingBull]

I've owned the paperback versions of Batman Hush for a few years now & I've always really enjoyed it so I bought the absolute version last week of the web & just got it through. Really nice book

Awesome score! I have all five hardcovers, and vol 6 on preorder. Havn't read them yet, but these oversize hardcovers really show how amazing the art is. Just incredible.

I highly recommend getting the B.P.R.D. Plague of Frogs hardcovers vol 1-4 as well. Sure hellboy is missing, but the art is superb and still a good storyline.

[dalbelo]

Hellboy FTW! Well being that today is comic book day, here is what I picked up today!

Flash, Superman, Avengers, Hawkeye, Superior Spiderman, Aquaman

I highly recommend the new Hawkeye! Its been a great read so far! They focus more on a "non super" hero in an everyday life, instead of fighting huge villains. Ive been impressed by Matt Fraction's writing! Other than that, anything by Geoff Johns = amazing! (Green Lantern, Justice League, Aquaman)

Death of the Family has been epic! Scott Snyder is AMAZING! If you havent checked out American Vampire by Scott Snyder, I recommend that! I think the current New 52 Batman series has been one of the best Batman comic runs ever from issue #1. Im sure they will keep Snyder on for a while if they are smart. He going to start writing Superman at #18, I cant wait. Hopefully he can make Superman on par with the new Batman. The New 52 Superman is has been pretty decent too though, I wish I can say the same for Grant Morrison's Superman Action Comics. It started out good and dropped like a rock. I dont understand anything going on right now in it, and I just dropped it off my pull list.

All New X-Men is also one of my favorint new (NOW) series! I think the current story has been SICK! Now is a great time to jump on X-Men without having to know 12,000 issues of its history, as long as you have a general knowledge of X-Men. Uncanny is coming soon too in a re-fresh which should be just as good with Bendis on it.

[omegaglory1]

I've started reading the Song of Ice of Fire series. As for graphic novels, I've got volume 1 of MS Gundam: The Origin on pre-order.

[devilof76]

Just finished A Princess of Mars. Great story that would have been much better had his style not been so expository. Same problem Lovecraft and Tolkien had (though Burroughs was a lot more exciting than both of them).

Excited to bite into Stan Lee Cap and Gaiman Eternals. Grabbed Aaron hulk HC because I liked the singles enough, same with the Fraction Iron Man. Sad to see that end. Got rid of my old Watchmen HC and picked up the absolute edition.

Read Batman Earth One. I don't get the love for this comic. Didn't like it.

[Russell1982]

I absolutely loved everything about batman earth one. I thought it was a great, refreshing take on all the characters. Different enough to make them interesting but still recognizable. Can't wait for volume 2.

What's that hardcover looking thing with damian wayne on the cover? Is that an absolute edition of morrisons batman reborn run?

[KBA]

Yep. Loved the role reversals in that run with Robin being the bad *** that Batman needed to reel in :lol

[Russell1982]

I actually never read any of morrisons batman and robin. I have downloaded the first few issues when they were on sale but not read them yet. I've become a big fan of damian though through batman inc and tomasi's batman and robin. Is that absolute edition worth picking up?

[KBA]

A couple media sources (ign) sited it as the best thing in comics in its year. If you like absolute editions and you like damian, it's worth it.

[Russell1982]

Sweet, might try and pick it up. Never got any absolute editions before but always wanted to pick up absolute the long halloween as its one of my fav stories and absolute watchmen. Might start off with batman reborn too then as my first absolute edition.
