Coming back to comics after being gone since the mid-90's.  I actually started comics immediately after college when I was living at home and had some dough.  Then after a year I moved out and stopped collecting.  Now I've been on my own for a while and am back at my LCS every Wednesday picking up the latest that DC has to offer.




iFanboy Mini - Episode #79 - Asterisks in Comic Books

On Jul 4, 2008 9:06 AM

iFanboy is carrying on the grand tradition of the asterisk. Since this uppercase 8 has stopped pointing readers to different titles, thus ensnaring them in the grand tradition of comics, iFanboy has stepped up and taken on the role.  Carry on men of the asterisk....carry on!

New Comics for 06/11/08 have relocated to the surface of the sun!

On Jun 9, 2008 5:30 PM

Looking forward to Batman Confidential the most.  What a great arc right now...classic Batgirl and Catwoman.  My LCS didn't get Booster Gold #9 to me, so I've been buggin' 'em and hopefully will get 9 and 10 this week.  Also, Green Arrow/Black Canary, Huntress, Wonder Woman, and Trinity.  There is potential for it to be a great week. BQ: Yes, Vegas can get scorching, but l...

Fiscal Crisis #1 - Comics Cost Too Much!

On May 28, 2008 12:13 AM

I'm another vote for 'drop 'em all'.  While comics are great fun and I totally love the whole experience, $75 a week is a bit excessive.  If these books are even crossing your mind as not being worth the time and effort, let alone the dough, then go ahead and drop 'em.  Perspective Ron, perspective!! I do agree with you on the Flash loyalty.  I'm sticking with it and antic...

Something... something... Grant Morrison! New Comics for 05/07/08!

I only have four books on my pull-list.  Looking forward to Detective Comics and Nightwing the most.  I LOVED the Iron Man movie and I think I'll pick up the new ongoing and perhaps the trade.  I already picked up the hard cover of the New Avengers in anticipation of the dang sequel.  Slowly but surely the Marvel universe is pulling me in.

I agree with Jim.  This book probably isn't my thing, but that's why I like this site so much.  There's no way I would've even heard of it unless Ron brought it to the forefront. My pick was Green Lantern.  There are a couple of 2 page spreads that just put it over the top.  I know the previous issue was Josh's pick, but this issue was just amazing!

Let's face it, you've caught New Comics for 04/30/08 doing much worse than this.

On Apr 28, 2008 2:01 PM

Looking forward to DC Universe Zero, Green Lantern & Titans Year 1.  I'm gonna pick up Action Comics this week too and see what's happening with Superman.  Only 5 books this week, just right. BQ: The Dark Knight....no question!!

This community is so wonderful!! Things like this are tragic, but at the same time it's through adversity that everyone can stand up and really show their true colors. I'm so impressed and feel privileged to be associated with this awesome group of people.

04.23.2008 - Justice League of America #20

On Apr 23, 2008 4:14 PM

Hands down pick of the week.  I only had five books, and I thought Batman might contend for it, but this blew 'em all away.  This one book totally restores my faith in Wally.  This is the guy I've been buying that 'Flash' book for.  This is the guy I want to see.  Oh how I've missed him. McDuffie and Van Sciver hit it out of the park!

New comics for 04/23/08 have con fatigue!

On Apr 21, 2008 3:16 PM

Yah, only a few comics this week.  Batman 675 and JLA 20 are what I'm looking forward to.  I think I'll pick up Birds of Prey also, just to see what's happening with Barbara Gordon. BQ: Best part of the weekend was the 'Fiddler on the Roof' rehearsal I ran.  Yes, I'm a HS Drama director and all-around theatre geek.
