sandman, heavy metal, and classic X men are my top collected....

Serenity: Better Days and Those Left Behind are pretty good if anyone's a Firefly fan.

Edit: Sandman! That's another I'd like to read.

22 this year!
The original movie was one of my favorite films (of the few I remember seeing in cinemas) as a kid!

Currently reading Sandman (very slowly, I dont have the money to get the next couple of trades)

I was following the current Batman arc but its getting pretty retarded quickly. I'll probably read it once its finished.

Also finished Y: the last man recently! Holy shit such a good series.

Right now reading The Punisher (MAX series). Fucking love it! I just got started on comics so maybe you could recommend any other books? I don't want the typical superhero stuff like Superman, Ironman or whatever. I like the punisher because he has no superpowers.

the preacher **** freakin' awesome
hellblazer
the sandman

and as sillyputty said: transmetropolitan!

I dont have time for comics anymore but i used to read Marvel comics mainly, i loved the Dissassembled, and Civil War series they did and the whole direction they took the Avengers to, but i stopped reading after that, anyone still read it? is it still as good? what further developments were made? Oh, and also have Thor and Captain America been brought back yet?

This is whats up with the Marvel U.

[en.wikipedia.org]


I read comics and trades. As of the last 10 months, I buy comics every week. I buy a bunch of Marvel, some DC and Spawn (from Image).

Some of my favorite writers are Bendis, Brubaker, Johns, Dini, Millar, Loeb (his Hush arc is the shit- but Ultimates 3 is meh) Morrison and Aaron

Grant Morrison's Batman is amazing. the current RIP story line is great. Also i'm reading both of the big event books Final Crisis and Secret Invasion. I'd have to say I like Final Crisis much more. The story just seems not so typical as a big event. And I'm re-reading Morrison's classic run on Doom Patrol

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE BATMAN R.I.P. STORY ARC. So if you haven't read it and don't want to be spoiled, skip this post.

Morrison is one of my all-time favorite writers when it comes to comics, but I'm going to have to disagree with you about his current Batman work.

I like the fact that Morrison has taken a lot of liberties with the characters that no other writer would have the balls to, such as the current state of Bruce Wayne/Batman and the Wayne/Pennyworth reveal, but really, R.I.P. makes absolutely zero sense. I can't tell you how many times I had to stop reading to ask myself: "....what the fuck just occured?" The amount of crazy going on is just ridiculous, and not in the good All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder kind of way. Batman, high on meth and heroin, scampering around the streets of Gotham with Bat-Mite? Please tell me you can see how stupid that is.

I also can't stand the way the Joker is being portrayed. It all really started when Morrison had him take that bullet to the face, and then that prose story (I think it was Batman 663?) that basically stole the plotline of Five Way Revenge. Then the events of those stories got carried over to R.I.P. Now, I really like how Morrison has the Joker constantly reinventing himself (though he wasn't the first writer to use that theory), but the way the Joker is now, his name might as well be changed to Generic Serial Killer, because really, that's all he is. Yes, the Joker is supposed to be completely batshit with a lust for blood, but there's so much more to him. The humor, the style, the charm. None of that is there anymore. Frankly, he's boring.

Back to the absurdity of R.I.P., things are slowly starting to make a bit more sense. The whole "Batman of Zurr En Arrh!" concept, for example. I used to think it was absolutely stupid, but now that it's been explained, it makes so much more sense. I'm hoping that's how it's going to be for the rest of the series.

If not, we'll at least have Neil Gaiman to make it all better. I can't wait for Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?

I HATE MANGA. Morrison has lost his mind too.

Obviously by looking at my profile you can tell I think the current run of Action Comics kicks ass.

I got back into comics a little over a year ago. i liked them as a kid, but that's when they started to turn more into comics for grown ups and i didn't understand most it.

I'm a big Batman fan. During the release of TDK, I pikced up copies of The Man Who Laughs, Arkham Asylum, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, The Joker's Last Laugh, A Death in the Family. All very good. I had The Killing Joke from a long time ago.

I also recommend the Hush story line, that is very good as well.

The RIP story line is aweosme, can't wait to see what Joker does now!

Anyone else read Batman and Robin All star by Frank Miller? I like this on for entertainment, some of the dialouge is really funny.

Writers you can't go wrong with: Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Paul Dini, Jeph Loeb.

also looking forward to when Secret Invasion from Marvel is released in TPB edition.

Reading Astonishing, Uncanny, Cable, Wolverine, Secret Invasion, and ocassionally Thunderbolts.

I got into Ellis when he did Nextwave, and then I hunted down his other stuff from there. Planetary needs to be finished at some point.

Someone needs to take Ellis aside and give him a good slap. The man's a comics genius, but he can't keep to a schedule to save his life. Every time he launches a new title it starts out well, then it falls behind, and further behind.... Fell started out well, but lately... And god knows whats happened to Desolation Jones! I think Transmet was the last thing of his I read thatkept on time. Freak Angels too. So there may be hope.

Geh, I could list some stuff but I suddenly don't feel like remembering the names o.O

What I just bought and read: Hack/Slash featuring H.P Lovecraft's The Re-Animator #1
Hmmm my love of Hack/Slash, great series, and any and everything to do with campy horror "b-movies" is showing
Oh and Jellyfist, by Jhonen Vasquez and J.R. Goldberg, I have read for the billionth time 30 minutes ago
