The Comics Thread

Ruckas on DD with Brubaker at the moment. Good times.

I'm just interested have just recently read all of 52 and started reading the Gotham Central trades what happens to Renee as the new Question. I was thinking about picking up Final Crisis - 'Revelations' but as I'm not following FC nor having read the 'Crime Bible' mini I feel I might be lost.

[Pedro]

Q. What do you do with all your issues then? Resell?

I'll conceide that digital comics are good for catching up on stuff, or for stuff thats out of print/not available in TPB, but its not a fun experience.

Now I really want to read Rucka's 52 follow up 'Crime Bible'

I used to ebay them - but it's not really worth it any more. When I was at parents house I'd keep everything. Now they get recycled

Catching up - hmmm. Not always because you can buy TPBs.

Crime Bible was awful. I didn't even finish buying it from memory.

Batwoman was the bigest "flash in pan" character ever too.

Are you kidding, recycled?! Box anything you buy up & I'll pay you postage rather then it be destroyed.

Ah. In that case get Crime Bible - or at least read the cover.

FC - R is VERY good. It also really doesn't need much knowledge of FC. Infact trying to fit them together is awful and nearly impossible.

It's got some lovely Question/Spectre/Radient bits in it.

Might pick it up on Saturday on my weekly jaunt to the LCS.

Again I want the good covers, not those with the red framing.

Slightly OT but Ruckas Queen and Country is amazing.

:Wub:

The FC covers have generally been awful (much like FC itself ). The one for 3 gave away the bloody "last page shock"

Thats the ones, just like I bought the good rogue Revenge covers:

One of the best issues of Johns run.

One of the best issues of Johns run.

You know which arc that comes in? Rogues?

I'm now two short (one is in the post) of having all of Johns' Flash trades.

[DrDoom]

It's Rogues IIRC. You'll know which one it as as the whole issue is a flash back.

I'm about midway through the 'Blood Will Run' TPB.

From the comics suggested from the past few pages Trinity, Green Lantern, Flash and Justice League all sound good.

Green Lantern Rebirth TPB: it seems Amazon only have the hardcover for this. Also, is it just a single volume?
Green Lantern (ongoing): should I just go for the more recent stuff?

Johns run on Flash: by Johns you mean Geoff Johns? There seem to be a few so which one is the starting point?
Giffen/De Matteis on Justice League: I've found more recent Justice League International stuff by them, in hardcover also.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

[DrDoom]

Just checked, it's in the trade "Rogue War".

GL:R is a 5 issue mini-series. Well worth picking up.

Onoging - I'd wait until you get GL:R (it leads into the ongoing) then get the back issues/tpbs of the run. It all leads up the the Sinistro Corps War - which is amazing

It's the most recent run, up to about issue 30 now.

Blitz is the first trade of his run IIRC. As far as I know Rebirth is only available in hardcover.

[Pred]

Thanks for that!

I got the singles of these CHEAP on eBay and they seem to appear in complete runs quite often (at least the first 30 or so).

Bloody hell, this thread seems to be growing faster here than it ever did on GR.

Hexx, I have read Astonishing 1 and 2, and I loved them both. I didn't enjoy 3 quite as much, but it was still good. I would have 4 already, but the one in Waterstones had a nasty bent cover. I picked up the first Walking Dead trade instead, which I'll be reading after Punisher MAX 1.

No! Get 4. 3 is by far the weakest (it's the one with Frost/Hellfire/Nova right?)

But 4...oh god...4...

I'm getting goose bumps.
