Comic book thread ON!

[loophole]

Loophole do you include "Sins Past" in the good of J. Michael Straczynski's run? That was pretty controversial.

I found it interesting, it also gave Norman Osborn a bigger dont F&*% with me as he is evil bast&*# reputation. I think some fans didnt like that Gwens innocence was taken away, i just wished that they developed the new characters more they could of taken them in very interesting directions but they sort of got forgotten about.

My latest big comic purchases: X-Men Claremont/Lee Omnibus Vol 1 & 2 and Fatal Attractions Omnibus. (I blame STL for convincing me to upsize).



Collecting the era where I started reading X-Men (not a coincidence that it was just after Transformers finished). Vol 1 wasn't really necessary since that was before I started, but I thought may as well have the pair.

Just need the Bishop and Wedding books coming later this year to complete my shelf. (Shame the Wedding book is a trade paperback not an oversized hardcover though.)

I have all of those, and all the other X-Men related OHCs/omni's they've put out.

I was disappointed that Bloodties was an MPC instead. Puts it out of place than all the other ones.

You going to get (or maybe you already have) the two that circle around those omni/OHCs you just showed?

X-Tinction Agenda and X-Cutioner's Song? (Bloodties is kinda optional, as it's straight after Fatal Attractions)

I actually got a lot of this stuff bound a few years ago.

Out of the 3 volumes I made, 2 are now pretty much obsolete, and replaced by the new ones. Ah well. I'd always hoped for official nice editions like this.

The third was adjectiveless 27-53 (pre-Onslaught, maybe 50), so it hasn't been neutered yet. I'd love to though, nicer paper for most.

Yes I got X-Cutioner's Song a few weeks ago, which led me to buying these.

The quality is really nice, but I do wish they'd used the opportunity to fix some of the colour mistakse from the originals.

I am deliberating on X-Tinction Agenda. The first trade I ever purchased was X-Tinction Agenda back in 199 or 94 or so so I already have it collected. And it was just reprinted in full (without subplot pages removed and in greyscale) in Essential X-Men #10 too.

I wouldn't have any doubt if it wasn't for the art. Jim Lee's issues are wonderful, and Rob Liefeld's are okay, but Jon Bogdanove's X-Factor issues are awful and not helped by having flat colouring and a style so out of place with the "Image" look.

I never read the Avengers & West Cost chapters of Bloodties so that's low on my list.

Going to PM you about the binding.

Yep, I have that same X-Tinction trade. (I have all the old ones, plus the issues mostly, so it's nice to update them with these beautiful OHC's).

I was so happy with the OHC. Everything looks beautiful, it's nice and over-sized. I didn't feel I'd doubled up. YMMV, of course.

Seeing I mentioned my custom volumes, I'd figure I'd share the pics I took of them when they first arrived, in case anyone's curious.

So playing through Batman: Arkham City, when it comes to the Demon Trial it's stated "Only one man has passed this ordeal". Is it known who it is referring to? I assume it's not actually Ra's...

I figured it meant Ra's, for Batman to do it to meant he was an equal adversary. (I hated that part of the game though ) Not sure who else it could be.
