Donovan | 1154 comments You're right, Relstuart. I'm just not as optimistic anymore. As an American in this political and social climate, I can't help but feel disillusioned. I think it's easy to idealize and nostalgize (just made that up) our collective past. What I'm finding is that there were never glory days, not for women, minorities, gays or the lower class. We haven't reached the glory yet. Which, as a glass half full person, means we have so much more we are capable of, and that's exciting, if we can work together for the better of everyone. That's the trouble, though, isn't it? Love, justice, and altruism are on a downward trend, but they'll make a comeback like everything else.

The Lion's Share I'm always up for a party.

I'll supply the comics and booze but I can't afford the drugs too :D

Nah the problem is (in broad terms) most people in London voted remain because London is like its own country in a way because it is massively diverse, it's brilliant. People outside of London are narrow minded wankers and think foreigners shouldn't be here and blah, blah blah, back to comics so I put my captain America collection on eBay today...however.....

I just bought all the Hellboy and Goon library editions! Oops!

Huge haul.

I'm curious to hear from someone v who has read all of Goon. I'd like to know if the story changes at all across the volumes.

I've just read the first four volumes but each volume seems to follow a similar formula, with character development, running jokes, occasional new characters, and more backstory.

I read the first Library edition which I think covers what you've read. I like it but I'm not sure I want to invest into 3 more library volumes (just not quite my cup of tea.)

I'm looking at IST and they have V2 and V3 in stock right now.


message 1261: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Yep, those are what I plan on getting. If you just "like" it I'd say pass and just get it from the library. But it's one of my favorite indie comics, hence why I want to own them all.

That's why i bought all 3 because even if i don't like them, i can sell them as they are hot property right now.

I've already sold one of my Cap America Volumes already, Cash in the bank! Which has paid for my spending spree with just one Omnibus!

I've also added to my digital collection as there is a Marvel and Image sale on:

Hickman's New/Avengers/Time Runs out - complete
New Dr. Strange vol.1
New Deadpool vol.1
MPH by Millar
Paper Girls Vol.1
Invincible Iron man vol.1

Also tempted to get Hellcat, looks good and the new daredevil.

Make sure you read a few volumes of Hellboy first to get to know the characters.

It was a good question. I'd say after that it would be Preacher and then Lone Wolf and Cub.

Lone Wolf and Cub is in it's own league though.

O ok Hellboy first then even though he scared me when I was younger hopefully i can move on now I'm older. I've read the first omni (quality : / ) of lone wolf and enjoyed though it kindve bothers me its episodic and I really should get preacher though my focus right now is scalped!

I ordered the limited edition HC of Lemire's Plutonia: http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Image...

I also added Waid's DD vol 3 OHC and Millar's Huck TPB to get to free shipping.


message 1284: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I think I'll get waids did v3 just so I can sell it as a complete set.

I wasn't satisfied enough with waids run but it's been a decent continuation.

Plutonia sounds interesting, although I'm not sure how "deep" it can get with only 5 issues.

Agreed. I know the movie rights were recently purchased (Comic-con announcement). It has an interesting premise but it does seem fairly short.

Waid's OHC come in 5 volumes if I recall correctly. The omnibus was solicited as volume 1 so I expect at least two omnibus volumes. I decided to just stick with the OHCs. Easier to read and the same size pages. I just recently read the second volume and I liked it better than the first one.


message 1287: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I own and have read vol 1-5 just need to read 6 then I'll read the digital version of vol 1 on soules run then I'm done with DD until they put a decent writer back on him.

Maybe Hickman :) or King.


message 1288: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
I'd love to see Hickman come back to super-heroes but it may be a year or two before we see that happen. I know he is starting a new Image sci-fi series he described as "like Star Trek but depressing." IIRC. I would love to see him do more super-hero work even if it is outside of Marvel.

I do like Garney on art with DD for the current run.

I've been reading since the 1960s, collecting on and off (floppies, at least) since the 1970s, though my interest waxed and waned, and I switched over to collected editions primarily about a decade back, though I'd picked up things like the slipcovered Green Lantern/Green Arrow volume prior to that.

My digital collection is even more all over the place. My standing library is quite the mix, too; for a while I was collecting Marvel Essentials and DC Showcase volumes, along with an odd variety of other titles.

Fluffyroundabout | 202 comments Just picked up DMZ Deluxe HC 1 in the city for thirty euro. Figured I had to get it cuz it's OOP now. Also I hear it's amazing!
