while not comic book related this is comic related...

Who here has watched Superman / Batman Apocalypse?  It came out yesterday, and was pretty good.  Not "under the red hood" quality, but I'm more of a batman fan.

Comics are just too expensive at the moment, £6 on 2 comics is not good. There is a reason I'm only getting 3 ongoings and 1 mini at the moment.

GET THE FUCK OUT!  IT'S OUT ALREADY!?  I'm buying this today!!

Oh, and I finally read "Maus".  It was amazing (especially the first book).  I'm net-flixing Schindler's List (can you believe I never saw that movie?) and watching documentary after documentary on the Holocaust as a result.  Powerful stuff.  I can't recommend that comic, enough. 

And you know, you're right.  Half the fun of comics is the speculation.  You read 22 pages and for four weeks, you speculate what's going to happen next:  "How is Batman going to get out of that explosion?"  "Red Hulk ISN'T Bruce Banner?"  "Oh my God!  I can't believe _____ was a traitor!"  And when that next issue comes, there is a huge payoff for the patience.  Buying trade, it's sorta like asking Santa for a Christmas present and having him give it to you right then and there.  Sure, you get what you want, but that's not really the point.  Plus, when I buy a trade, a lot of the time, the big reveal is already common knowledge.  Half the time, the character who died making the story so powerful has already come back!  That's why I usually buy trades that are timeless (Like Kingdom Come or Daredevil Reborn).  Recent storylines move too fast.

I wish I could get back into buying comics every week.  I just have too much going on.

yup, now all we ahve to do is wait for the "short film" dvd and "all star superman" to come out....I love these animated films!

Tim Daly and Kevin Conroy!   They have a sale here!

DC delays Bruce Wayne's Road Home. I went to my comic shop yesterday and the owner tells me that they weren't in, maybe next week. I'm guessing if that happens the rest would be delayed as well. Cuase if they release them all next week that would be five issues @ $2.99 a pop. Too rich for my blood with all that comes out next week.

Has this thread died? C'mon where are my comic book fans? No one has had anything to say with NY Comic Con over now?

I don't read the latest comics, because they take some time to reach my country. I am waiting for:

JLA 44 and 45

Blackest Night 4, 5, 6

Superman Secret Origin 2

I just finished the new krypton saga (new kryptn, last stand, war of the supermen), it was fun but needless, everything was back to normal and nothing was drastically changed.

I have an ever-growing pile of books I need to read. I'm about three weeks behind now (around 20 books). I have most of them at home but I still need to make it to the store to check on last week's shipment.
