Big fan of comics in general. Batman and Daredevil are favorites, but also enjoy immensely what indy books have to offer. ASP, Oni, Top Shelf, and Dark Horse (can this really be called an "indy" any more?) are some of my favorite publishers.
My big comicbook crisis is trying to determine what to read monthly and what to trade wait for. I never seem to have a handle on this sort of management. Sometimes I end up double-dipping!
The gang at iFanboy here have done well to make me check out books that may not of hit my radar the first time around. Fear Agent and Fell are examples of this. I am greatful for the work they do here. I may not post much, but I am a daily visitor.

On Oct 8, 2008 8:03 PMDoes Geoff Johns have any dreams to be a film director? Cause what we really have here is the perfect Superman film franchise relaunch story. Even if you removed the Supergirl bits (mind you, there was nothing at all wrong with Johns' Supergirl), this story is essentially what I am looking for on the big screen for Superman. And we already know this, but it is worth repeating anyways. T...

On Oct 1, 2008 9:00 AMI thought I had everything managed okay. I have no problem dumping issues at my shop for pennies. I convert most runs to tpbs,hcs, etc.. . It is never about the money. Its all about the presentation. I'll file any series or run of issues that I can't get collected (or collected COMPLETELY! - Ahhhhh! that drives me nuts when tpbs skip an issue or two between volumes). This means that ...

On Sep 7, 2008 3:45 AMOkay, you just got me to seek out The Roberts in issue form. I'll be making a special order from my shop this week. I was glad to hear about the 'Tec love even though Hush is kinda lame. This is changing I think. Dini is the master of origin stories. The flashback sequences have been great and are slowly adding substance to this villain. What can be said about Dustin's art? The guy is h...

On Sep 4, 2008 12:00 PMYes, he should have a sale. And he should videotape it for a show. I'd watch someone attempt to try and haggle with Conner. 2 bucks? 10. 3.50? Pow! (out cold) Money for storage is money no longer spent for new comics. That would be my bottom line to dump the stored comics in some way. If you can't live in the same place with your all of comics, then you need to send them to a r...
