Comic Books
 

Any comic readers here? Graphic novels count too. I read mainly Invincible as far as superheroes are concerned. I also like a lot of old school Conan, as well as the Dark Horse revival. So what are some of your favorite comics and graphic novels?

Re: Comic Books
 

Spidey
Wolverine
Xmen

Mostly Marvel stuff... Ive got thousands in my basement boarded, bagged and boxed

Re: Comic Books
 

I was big in to all the Batman titles from 91-00. Made it through Knightfall/Knightsend/ to No Man's Land and Hush.
Loved The Watchmen.
V for Vendetta.
Ambush Bug
Justice League (when Giffen did it) Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Maxwell Lord lineup.
Spawn (1st 50+ issues)
Superman

I was very big into comics at one point, but after having kids, I can't afford 'em anymore. I still buy the occasional Graphic Novel/TPB whenever possible. I like catching up on the old stuff now through Marvel's Essential line and DC's Showcase line.

Re: Comic Books
 

Punisher only... :ss

Re: Comic Books
 

Just picked up a copy of the Watchmen yesterday. I have heard mixed reviews of the movie but good reviews of the novel.

Re: Comic Books
 

Movie is good, the graphic novel is great.

Re: Comic Books
 

TRicker loaned me the GN and I couldnt get through 20 pages before I lost interest.

I should probably give it another shot, but ill catch the movie

Re: Comic Books
 

Good to hear. I am going to read through the graphic novel and then check out the movie!

Re: Comic Books
 

NERD REPORTING for duty.Love oldschool JLA from the 80's, blue beetle rocks. Now Alex Ross is my hero, love his artwork. Also huge thor fan

Re: Comic Books
 

Sucks he's dead now.

Re: Comic Books
 

As a kid I read a lot of martial arts comics, Master of Kung Fu, Iron Fist, etc.
These days I read mostly indie works. Check out Locke & Key by Joe Hill.

In case you are not familiar with him, he has a famous father - Stephen King.

Re: Comic Books
 

Movie is better if you read the novel first. Follows panel by panel.

Re: Comic Books
 

I loved Punisher when it was Ennis/Dillon. Welcome Back Frank was a good run.

Re: Comic Books
 

I might have cries a little that day!!!

Re: Comic Books
 

Ennis and Dillon did a great job with Preacher too.:tu

Re: Comic Books
 

Back in the 80s I had the Watchmen Series, Akira, The Elementals, Astro Boy, Maus, Maus II.. Mostly independent comics. Only a few DC and Marvel series. I don't have any freaking clue where they are now. When I left for the military I thought they were in my parents basement. Not there now... My sisters are pleading not-guilty. Damn.

Cheers,
Michael

Re: Comic Books
 

Spidey fan here although not as much now that they've gone and screwed with his continuity with the Brand New Day arc crap.

P.S. glad to see someone else enjoyed Ambush Bug!

Re: Comic Books
 

Spawn 1-20
Gen 13
Wetworks
Conan
Spidey

I like to read the history of the Marvel universe.

Re: Comic Books
 

:tpd:
I liked the first Stormwatch run too.

Re: Comic Books
 

The early McFarlane stuff is great.

Re: Comic Books
 

Except that crappy issue when he killed off Spawn and brought him back just to show Marvel that he had full creative control over his character. That issue was very early in the run (issue 9 or 10?).

Re: Comic Books
 

its been awhile since i bought any but do so on occasion. big marvel fan just ezer to connect to the characters for me. dc is good for the big stores they do about once a year.
liked all the early image stuff. like mostly the x titles, spidey, ghost rider, o hell i like them all i cant pick just one. got lots of boxes full of bagged and boarded comics been collecting for almost 30 years now.

Re: Comic Books
 

I used to be in to a lot of Marvel stuff growing up. X-men, X-factor, Wolverine, Spiderman, Punisher, etc.

Later on I got into stuff like Grendel, Usagi yo Jimbo, Milk and Cheese.

Haven't bought a book in years.

Re: Comic Books
 

I read just about anything. But I'm a die-hart Valiant fan! I'll never forget my first copy of Bloodshot #6.

Re: Comic Books
 

what do you guys think about the dark reign story line in marvel comics.

Re: Comic Books
 

I'm not up to date w/ my reading anymore. Wish I had the time and money for it.

Re: Comic Books
 

I miss the good comic books from back in the 1960s. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Ironman, etc. I also enjoyed the WWII based comics featuring Sgt. Rock and Sgt. Fury. I can't remember the name of the comics but there was also the one about the Sherman Tank "haunted" by the ghost of J.E.B. Stuart.

Re: Comic Books
 

Sgt. Rock and Sgt. Fury both kicked ass! Easy company and the Howling Commandoes were awesome! But then they had to go and ruin sgt. Fury and make him an agent.

Re: Comic Books
 

Is Captain America still dead?

Re: Comic Books
 

Used to be an avid Batman reader. These days I just buy collectible items and watch the movies.

Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns is my all time favorite read.

Re: Comic Books
 

:tpd:

Re: Comic Books
 

:tpd: 'cept mine are in my attic!!!

Re: Comic Books
 

Picke one of the Sgt. Rock hardcovers last year, it's pretty cool. Not your typical comic stuff.

Re: Comic Books
 

Free comic book day is almost here.

May 2nd.

Re: Comic Books
 

Rad, thanks for the reminder. There's a comic book store like a block from my apartment that i still haven't been to...Keep spending my money on stogies.

Re: Comic Books
 

That is how I know about it. I drove by it Monday and they have a huge banner outside the shop.

Re: Comic Books
 

Yes the original is still dead but Bucky isn't he is the one filling Cap's shoes now.

Re: Comic Books
 

That sounds dumber than Jason Todd coming back from the grave. But if it makes money, then have at it. Anybody know the year that Bucky died (not continuity year, but the actual year that they wrote him off)?

Re: Comic Books
 

i think dc did that in the crisis they had last year or the year before. they had another that just ended but i know nothing about the story on that one.

Re: Comic Books
 

Jason Todd kinda came back in "Hush" by Loeb and Lee, but I think that it was actually Clayface. I did hear that he came back in one of the Crisis storylines.

Re: Comic Books
 

Daredevil use to be my favorite back in the day...especially when Frank Miller got involved. Bullseye was my fav villan.

Re: Comic Books
 

free comic book day tomorrow

Re: Comic Books
 

I dug this old thread out of the deep to ask if anybody out there is getting . . . or trying to get anyway . . . the 3-D Villain covers from DC this month. I myself have managed to snag about half of them, and off the shelf without a hold or reserve at my local shop.

They are seriously cool, and are selling on e-Bay already for multiple times the cover price.

Re: Comic Books
 

I guess not. Plus, it's over, and it's too late now. But this is what I'm talking about.
