<font class="post"1<b, 21<b, 21I have just read the first issue, which I dug a lot.<b, 21<b, 21Curt Swan = love/hate....love it as long as Murphy Anderson is inking his pencils
 
My favorites of my early pre-teen & early teenage years:

CEREBUS
LOVE & ROCKETS
AMERICAN SPLENDOR
MOON KNIGHT (the original Siencowicz series)
RONIN
X-MEN (John Byrne and the first Paul Smiths)
TOMB OF DRACULA
JUDGE DREDD

I read almost all of the big Marvel and several of the big DC titles of the time (1980-1983) but those are the ones that stuck with me the most, and would probably be worth revisiting now.

i sold most of my collection around 1990.from mad magazines to marvel team up...who on here knows about the comic book market of today ?
i remember then....thinking i was gonna gee off, looking in the price guides, go to the shop and not get jack shit near what the book said.
oh well...some ones i wish i still had.

in a way, they were like records to me....always buying both

comic book stores/record stores

I think there are more record stores in NYC than Comic Shops at this point.

I havent followed the market numbers in a minute. U could probably google the Wizard magazine and see what Gambit's debut issue will do once he's in the Wolverine Movie.

Or see what happens to the OG Watchmen - movie always give shit a small spike in value for a quick minute.
 
Finally got to check out All Star Superman. It was great. Lived up to the hype I heard about it. I also read The Filth which is also by Morrison, that shit was crazy.

I was in a shop in Georgetown, DC yesterday....the gal at the counter was patiently trying to explain to the obnoxious tourist customer that they were out of the Obama/Spiderman issue. She was saying that it's in high demand in DC now, but that in a short time it really won't be worth shit due to it's already been thru 3 printings, and will no doubt hit 4 printings or more. Comics seem to have a crazier market than records, but I still grabbed the Obama cover for the hell of it.

Recently gave a friend of mine who is studying to be a priest this:

Anybody read 100 Bullets? Last issue comes out next month. I'm looking forward to reading all issues to refresh myself with the story that's been developing for the last 10 years or so...
Oh, and All-Star Superman is excellent.
 
i was in forbidden planet on wed, and this sister had a handfull of a special edition Obama comics. She looked like she couldnt decide on coppin 2 or 7.

Those things aint worth anything plus, if your "saving" it for your grandchild to enjoy it, well the holographic internet will have it for him.

I haven't even read the thing, just tossed it in with the newspapers and buttons my wife and I have put in a box.

Round my way, they had a one per customer rule, and when I went to one shop before the inauguration, I was perplexed by the people coming in, it looked like someone had stopped a church bus off in front of the comic shop.

I like the Pope's Silvio Dante/ Arthur Fonzarelli lean...
 
bomp

My boy thinks the "Death of Captain America" is gonna end up as a shapeshifting Skrull.

I have no idea what DC is gonna w/ the dead Batman.

But seeing the growing pains that Robin & Nightwing are goin thru is some good drama.

My special wish is to see an Alfred Pennyworth mini-series
 
blackest night = black lanterns = zombie batman????

DC cant kill off batman for long. be back within 2 years.
 
DC cant kill off batman for long. be back within 2 years.
of course

at this point - there real drama in superhero deaths is the comeback/rebirth story.
 
i love
batman-the cult (graphic novel series)
batman- gothic (legends of the dark knight storyline)
all daredevil/bullseye storylines
spiderman- kraven the hunter storyline
 
The Darkness used to be fun (sort of.)
Gen13 had some great graphix as well.
Psycho Circus 1-2 by the creator of Spawn was kinda fun too!
