And I spend about 60-80 bucks a month on comics.... but hey, at least I'm reading :-D When I got back into comics last fall, I didn't expect to get more then 2-5 comics a week... now my average is about 6-9 books a week. This week I got 8 of them, last week was over-kill with a whopping record 15 books for 47 bucks comics are a drug Edited 4 time(s). Last edit at 09/05/2008 10:32PM by prescribed drone.

I just finished the 5th trade and I need to pick up the 6th from the library some time. Really great books. e; Also: There are people who legitimately like Jason Todd? What the fuck?

I love that poor misunderstood boy to death. I guess that's my problem, I'm not. Same. I don't understand why they brought him back. I don't really understood why they did either - and it wasn't like bringing him back was very kind to Jason either. After all he's been through, I can kind of understand where he's coming from sometimes. And I'll be the first person to tell you that he's a douche and an asshole and runs his mouth and does things he never should, but tt's the psychology of his character that interests me. I dunno. I also like misunderstood underdogs. You're supposed to not like him - he's crazy as a sack of rattlesnakes too - but in his own way he reaches out. I dunno how else to try and explain it. But beyond Jason? I'm not sure I'm down with Batman: RIP. I've not read enough to really have a whole opinion but.. I just dunno. :/ On a whole other note I love drawing Batman fanart. I've got a rather entertaining picture that I'm working on right now of a very wet and very pissed off Nightwing. I need to add a thought bubble of Babs cheerfully reminding him to never swim in the Gotham Harbor without his Haz-Mat suit. Here's a LINK to my Batman and other fanart thread if you care to see any.

ohmygawd2012 member see a sea anemone Joined: 09/04/08 Location: where the wild things are Posts: 235	I adored comic books (mostly action) during my childhood up until high school. I wonder what ever happened to my X-Men and Spawn ones hmmm... There is this comic book store I would like to check out since moving into the city. I've been out-of-touch for quite some time now, so are there any recommendations on good action comics I could get from anyone? (:

(: Trade paperbacks: Moon Knight : The Bottom, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, Iron Fist: The Last Iron Fist Story, any of the new Brubaker Captain America run (particularly the Omnibus if you have the cash which covers 1-25), and also just for fun any of the Marvel Zombies. Comics: Hulk (aka Red Hulk, Iron Fist, Captain America, X-Force, Justice League of America, Justice Society of America, and Green Lantern are all great and full of action normally.

ohmygawd2012 member see a sea anemone Joined: 09/04/08 Location: where the wild things are Posts: 235	Thank you guys..I trekked over there this afternoon and I'm getting back into Spawn, also checked out some of your recommendations! Battle Pope is hilarious! Spawn comics are one of the reasons I still find clowns frightening. Isn't there a movie based on Watchmen coming out in theaters soon? And what is with the character resembling Batman? Hey, I was wondering..Is Invader Zim in comic book form? That would be killer! GIR is my absolute favorite. ...All of the Joker avatars are creeping me out.

blingy16 member no Joined: 12/01/07 Posts: 238	I know that it seems pretty... I don't know, scene? now, but Watchmen is the only thing DC ever distributed I ever liked. Batman is better when it's out of DC control at this point (ie the Nolan movies have redefined the entire series altogether). Spider-Man is good for the first hundred and something issues, up till the end of the Gwen Stacy Revenge issue. That's about it.
