NIce of you to start this thread PS.
Im more of a DC boy, so most of my comics which Ive collected since waywayway back are DC.
MOst of the Annual events storylines of DC - e.g. DC One million, Final Night, Bloodbath, Millenium, Zero Hour, War of the Gods, etc
Crisis, Infinite Crisis, Identity Crisis, Crisis of Conscience, Final Crisis
JLA - Starting from the Big 7 series run - New World Order, still collecting it now, like the new line up, although Martian Manhunter for the very first time aint this incarnation and might never be since he got murdered ( or did he really??)- Also can be included here are the TPB of the funny JLI incarnation( I cant believe its not the JL, etc), as well as any one time spin offs/TPB with the JLA in it (e.g. JLA/Wildcats, JLA/Witchblade etc)
Any TPB release which has the Big 3 of DC in it ( Supes, Bats and Wondy)
Wonder Woman - George Perez run - love the research on Greek Mythos that goes into writing the series. Also the detailing of each character. Stopped collecting this after the 100th issue. Just collected some back TPB since then. Im a nut for Greek Mythos.
Green Lantern/ Corps - only bought the trade paperbacks of the more recent stories, including the time of the Corps War. I prefer Kyle Rayner than Hal Jordan.
Shadowpact- though sadly the series ended already. Just love magic stuff. I guess I can bunch into here as well all the series and short runs which involved magic in DC titles like -
Judgement day (got the whole set crossovers - which led to the formation of Sentinels of Magic), B
lack Baptism, Day of Vengeance ( which led to the formation of Shadowpact)
LOBO - Somehow I find his books funny
OKies other companies
The Authority - all TPB, finally heroes who go all the way (read: kill the bad guys)
includes crossovers - my fave The Authority/Lobo crossover TPB
Fables - this was just introduced to me by a friend here afew months ago, I was immediately hooked and still am. Cannot get enough - finally collected all 9 TPB of the ongoing series! Got The Good Prince TPB last Sydney meet. Includes 1001 Nights of Snowfall which I read during my flight back here from holidays in Phils. Sure saved me from a very boring flight.
Jack of Fables - I havent been able to get my hands on Book 2 just yet
Transformers - be it the old Marvel, DW, IDW, DD (well this technically is TF Vs GiJoe series - which I have complete) stuff I dont care I buy it.
Period.
The Pro - one time TPB release - got me a special edition for a Comic con - signed by the authors/artist - Really funny JLA spoof.
Stone- by Pinoy artist , series got cancelled due to very personal tragedies happening to the writer/artists life at that time. Shame
Sidekick - Funny as!!
By Pinoy artists/writers - so most of you guys would have no idea of these...
ZsaZsa Zaturnnah Collected edition - recently just made into a movie and a Stage Play
Lexy , Nance & Argus: Sex, Gods, Rock & Roll
Pugad Baboy Series - a fictional community of Fatties representing/mirroring in a satirical approach to the current events in Filipino lives. Started out as just comic strips in the local newspaper which turned into compiled books and so on and so forth.....
I've got heaps more but its
mostly but not limited to DC titles and most are in the Phils still (3/4) - this is my next project on my next holiday. Ive already migrated the TF collection here so next comes the Comics Collection - which will be far, far heavier. Sigh, need more shelves.
