SOB I just tried to reply to the post above and got a blank screen with only the quote above. Admin's whats the story?

Now if I can remember what my orginal reply said.

I agree ASM 642 and 643 have sucked big time. A Moment in Time was good. Batman is awesome right now. I am following Batman, Batman Beyond, Batman: Odyessy, Batman and Robin, The Return of Bruce Wayne and Batman in Detective Comics right now. I am also pleased with the way Shadowland has gone. Shadowland is my favorite at the moment.

The only part of Shadowland I've been following is the DD story. I'm a huge Daredevil fan.

I've been following the whole thing it's been good.

I always hated comic books...When I was young I read the X-men and Spiderman and loved it at first but I hated that you have to read the end of a story in an other comic franchise..

I read a few though now like Halo/mass effect and The Darkness but for the rest I gave up...

I see where you're coming from.  For some people, it's fun to see how the different characters interact or that all of the characters live in the same universe (first time I saw Wolverine hanging out with the Fantastic Four, my mind exploded!).  For other people, it's just frustrating.  You buy one series and never get to see teh end of the storyline.

I suggest buying "trades" that contain entire storylines (or at least, the gist of  a major storyline).  It's what I do.  I don't have the patience to collect week by week, anymore.

cool to see this kind of thread. I'm a huge comic book fan. I have collect Comics book since 1984 when I started with the Gi Joe... Today I still interest but I have no time to sprend on this.

I think I prefer Marvel over DC because of the cool superhero like x-men, spiderman, Hulk, Captain America....

Well it is fun but not if you have to buy them yourself....First I did...Then I bought like Wolverine...But then I started to buy all the wolverines;.And then one story continued in the Avengers..And X-women...and before i knew I was collecting like 10 different comics;.

Well I don't know if it is a trade but I have 'The Darkness' compilation 1... 50 comics for 60$...Pretty cheap...But damned so heavy to read (almost 1300 pages so what to expect =p).

I hear ya on the trades but there's nothing like having a bagged and boarded first print/near mint.

I agree. I have a few TBP but nothing beats having all the issues. I just started collecting again and I have all the issues (Not all first print) of X-Men Second Coming. The Hardcover just got realeased but doesn't have a few of the spin-offs such as Hellbound and Blind Science with X-Factor.

I may go bankrupt next week (10/6/10) why is this list over $40 dollars:

Batman Hidden Treasures #1 $4.99
Batman Odyssey #4 $3.99
Bruce Wayne The Road Home Batman & Robin #1 $2.99
Bruce Wayne The Road Home Red Robin #1 $2.99
Chaos War #1 $3.99
Deadpool Pulp #2 $3.99
DeadpoolMAX #1 $3.99
Shadowland Spider-Man #1 $3.99
Ultimate Comics Thor #1 $3.99
Uncanny X-Force #1 $3.99
Wolverine #2 $3.99

Total: $42.89

Too many good comics.
