Name: Ian Raney

I grew up on Long Island (aka Longuyland),  learned in Michigan, and settled in San Diego.  I've been collecting comics since Justice League Europe #41, which may have led to me collecting  every Justice League comic from  DeMatteis and Giffen's Justice League #1 to Justice League of America #113 (yeah the one with Fire, Blue Devil, Ice Maiden, Nuklon, Obsidian, and the Yazz).  Currently I'm collecting more DC than Marvel but I don't take sides.  I love me some good indie books (Y, Fear Agent, Scalped), but I'm usually late to the party and end up picking up the first trade.  I'm not one for forums (I don't have time to keep checking back for response!), but glad that i can leave comments here at iFanboy.

Argh.  So angry my store was out of this.  While I'd have to go with Legion this week...I can't really argue against this because I didn't read it.  But as a loyal (or supposedly loyal) Fear Agent fan...I'm sure this issue was just as good as the rest.  Thought it might be this or Scalped.  Not sure why everyone is so angry at your picks lately.  Isn't the point to...

Couldn't hit up the regular store today, but swung by a random one to pick up this and DMZ.  What a solid choice sir and a solid issue as usual

Good choice sir!  I had chills at the end as well.  Before reading this, I thought "This should be ok.  But how good could it be?  They already spoiled the ending."  Well every one of your points was true and this was definitinely the pick of the week. 2nd place?  I think Action Comics was a really cool Toyman story and All Star Superman and Green Lanter...

Fiscal Crisis #1 - Comics Cost Too Much!

On May 28, 2008 12:13 AM

I'm dropping checkmate because Rucka left...for the same reasons:  I have too many books!  I wish I could drop Ultimate X-men, but the collector in me wants to get to 100 (I also have a feeling it will be canceled then...).  If I could pick two books for you to drop ( I voted for Checkmate), the second would be Cable.  What a let down.  I feel like the whole baby thing ...

Who else is dropping IMMORTAL IRON FIST? Brubaker & Fraction

On Apr 7, 2008 2:40 PM

I may give it a one issue try, but it really has to wow me.  What I loved about Iron Fist was the sense of an overall story and direction.  Many times new teams on a book derail this and I'm afraid that will happen here.

Justice League International Vol. 1

On Apr 2, 2008 12:21 AM

God I love this comic and all those that followed from it.  I have all the issues so I'm not sure if I'll pick up the trades (maybe when I have some more money).  But I highly recommend checking it out if you have never read it. @Jstump:  I loved Bloodwynd!  I thought the issue right after superman's death were great.  I actually went on comicdb recently and checked o...
