Comic book thread ON!

[piratescratch]

Piratescratch, do u read the X-Axis Reviews? I find the reviewer to match my reading sensibilities a lot and so I go on what he says and he's most of the time right. I'd steer clear of Young X-Men, I reckon. That said, i think Wolverine First Class works well but wait for trade imo. THe covers aren't good enough to justify buying single issues. I like the First Class feel, it's very light and doesn't take itself too seriously like the main Wolverine title does. X-Men First Class is awesome too in its simple fun w/ the core of the characters.

Aye, X-Axis, along with CBR and Weekly Comic Book Review are the few comic book websites that I frequent.

X-Men First Class definitely is a nice change of pace from all the "serious" that's going on in most current running series. Quick and fun read with self contained stories for each issue (though some span two).

I'm probably going to pick up the new Spider-Man loves Mary Jane that starts this month as well because a) it should be an enjoyable easy going read and b) I liked the first Spider-Man loves Mary Jane title. Hehe.

My friend lent me Captain America: Winter Soldier TPB 1 and 2 the other day, it's sitting on my desk, I need to find some time to get through them. Could end up as another series to follow. :P

I used to collect X-Men and X-Force comics back in the early 90's. I still love to read The X-Cutioners Song crossover.

My Uncle gave me a heap of comics a few years bach. One was an X-Men comic from like the 60's or 70's. It was an american release in mint condition but because the original store owner wrote .65c in big black texta across the front it was worth FA

That any good? I stopped as soon as Dan Slott dropped off the title and I heard wind of the new direction which I'm not very happy about.

I'm waiting for the first trade of Peter David's run (I think the hardcover is out but I can wait a few months for the cheaper softcover) but yes Slott's run was great - one of the books I really looked forward to each time it came out.

My friend lent me Captain America: Winter Soldier TPB 1 and 2 the other day, it's sitting on my desk, I need to find some time to get through them. Could end up as another series to follow. :P

I've never been a fan of Captain America, but I borrowed Winter Solider #1 and then went out and bought the next three trades because I loved it so much. I've really enjoyed it.

Old pics of my collection (I need to take new ones)



...there's more, but that'll do.

It would take me ages to compile a list considering I download and read so many each week.

But some more lesser known titles that I would recommend.

Grimm Fairy Tales (modern day re-tellings with a twist on traditional fairy tales ... and big boobs)
Hack/Slash (great little horror/slasher book)
Witchblade (absoloutely LOVE the artwork)
Un-Men (hard to describe, just check it out)
Tarot - Witch of the Black Rose (mature readers only. Stories are so so, artwork is great, mostly because of the nudity )
Iron and the Maiden (it was a mini-series that featured some amazing art deco inspired art work and a great story to boot.)

Currently enjoying Secret Invasion, though this month seems to be stalling. But no where near as stalled as Final Crisis. That's a story that needs to seriously pick it's game or it will be overshadowed by Batman R.I.P.

And i'd have to say my pick of DC Comics would be Green Lantern Corps. Can't wait for the blackest night storyline that's coming up.

Marvel wise, absoloutely loving Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy (speaking of which, Annihilation and Annihilation:Conquest, great reads) and can't wait for SI to hit those books.
