I picked up the complete Watchmen recently.

It just is that good.

 

[Johnny Stooge]

Absolute or normal TPB?

My local Borders has the Absolute edition and I'm thinking of picking it up if can rustle up the money.

 

[LordMune]

The normal version, because I did not know of the existence of Absolute. Boy, did I kick myself hard for that afterwards.

Since I live in the crappiest country in teh word, I have absolutely not an amount of comics worthy of being called a collection. Comics that is ... from Marvel and DC ... God you can't even believe the shyte they print here.

Anyhoo,

I have a few Spider-man Classics, A few Superman Classics, Some random spidey and super comics, one batman issue, a few Flashes, one X-men comic ((derived from the X-men animated series))

and my pride and joy:

The translated Spider-man and X-men! God, The only comics they actually supply over here! Hallelulia ... I have them from when Spidey died by that Spider-man eater.
Though my issue of Spider-man classic where the original Hobgoblin returns and is unmasked comes close of being my favourite.

Just wish me luck when I go to perhaps the only Comic store ((SECOND HAND)) in flanders ... In July or august ... kill me

The more I look at comics today, the more I see material made specifically for nerd-gasms, crossovers. I'm okay with the Justice League or something like that, since they were created to be part of that same "universe." I just see stuff that looks like something inspired by the playground discussions of who would win in a fight.

Also, I thought about getting 300 today, but noticed just how HUEG the thing is. It's like a road sign on the interstate.

 

[Vice]

Well yeah the latest crossover from DC is the JSA and the JLA. Which i might add has an amazing story so far. The Checkmate/Outsiders crossover is ok, since i dot read Checkmate (probally should for this arc)

I can only predict that Marvels new crossover tilte will be Jank as hell. The Transformers/New Avengers.

Very laughable. And yeah that 300 Graphic noval is Massive.

 

[Into TheDarkness]

ew that would suck hardcore

transformers and avengers are good by themselves unless like when the transformers were with gi joe haha
and the avengers with other marvel characters i think its ok

...Or you could spare the 30$ and rapidsearch it :^D

I've been considering Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns." Also, as stupid as it sounds, I really want to pick up "Holy Terror, Batman."

 

[Into TheDarkness]

i had no idea new batman comics were out

im sorry but i dknt liek to shell out 5 bucks for paper i know its bad

Or you could put money into an industry that really needs it. They're not ripping you off like the music and movie companies.

Frank Miller's 'Holy Terror, Batman'? The Batman vs. Osama book? It doesn't exist (There is another book by the same name, though). All-Star Batman and Robin #5 just came out this week. #4 came a year ago. Miller takes his time.

Why Marvel would do such a thing is beyond me. And it's canon, too.

$2.99USD is the price it costs for one comic book. That's not alot of money. The more people download comics instead of buying them means I have to pay more to compensate for that loss. And I already pay double the American price due to the dollar differance.
And who knows. That $2.99 could one day turn into $400.

 

[Into TheDarkness]

and that would make my heart explode :[

Well uh, Imma pick up either Dark Knight Returns or Green Lantern: Rebirth first, I suppose. What good Captain America miniseries are there?

 

[Johnny Stooge]

I still haven't read DKR. I'm really hesitant mainly because of how Miller portrays some of the characters. But Rebirth is really good. It's a Hal Jordan, Ollie Queen and Kyle Rayner centric book.

EDIT: As for Cap, any trade of Ed Brubakers run is really good. I only know the name of the Winter Soldier arc, the story where Bucky comes back, but I've heard nothing but good things about the whole the series.

and that would make my heart explode :[

I think you missed the point. If YOU spend $2.99 on a single issue, one day that issue may well be worth $400.

Jackpot! I've found some old comic books of my uncle. That's how I came across a Daredevil and Moonknight Superheroes comic, an Iron Man comic, a Fantastic Four Special and a Spider-man issue with Cobra and Mr. Hyde.

Woo ... hoo

If you want to get into Cap, get this. Once I figure out how much it costs, I'm going to order it.

US, May 18, 2007 - Over the past two years, Captain America fans have wondered why Ed Brubaker's stellar run has not received an oversized hardcover treatment. Premiere hardcovers and trade paperbacks have been released, but even in the wake of Cap's death, no noise was made.

Astute IGN Board members like Dief88 have an interesting hobby: they prowl online retailers for hidden gems. Once again snooping has paid off as an omnibus for Brubaker's first 25 issues has been discovered.

Here is how Amazon.com is describing the collection:

"Collecting Eisner Award-nominated Best Writer Ed Brubaker's first 25 landmark issues of Captain America in one titanic tome, plus the Captain America 65th Anniversary Special and Winter Soldier: Winter Kills one-shots! This deluxe hardcover, fat-packed with extras, features the story that stunned readers worldwide and sent shockwaves through the entire Marvel Universe: the death of Captain America! Also including the return of Cap's wartime partner, Bucky Barnes, as the Winter Soldier; the death and life of his greatest enemy, the Red Skull; and the emergences of a new threat, General Aleksander Lukin, the head of one of the most powerful corporations in the world! Collecting Captain America #1-25, Captain America 65th Anniversary Special and Winter Soldier: Winter Kills. Hardcover. 688 pages."

​

Amazon lists a release date of September 19, 2007. No price is provided, but typical Marvel Omnibus books have ranged from $74.99 to $99.99. We're thinking this might lean towards the $74.99 price point as the $99.99 offerings tend to include up to 400 more pages (Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus). Stay tuned to IGN (or Amazon?) for more details.

 

[Puddle Jumper]

Good to know Omnibusses are that expensive. So that means I need to rush over to that comic book store and buy those spidey's for three euro's ...

There are plenty, unless those swank looking graphic novels I see on the shelves at Barnes & Noble aren't actually new. I'd have to go back to check the titles.
