    Statue Batman: Black & White (2014)

    The more I see of the Lee Joker the more impressed and haunted I get. It's just phenomenal! The Kelley Jones Batman is a favourite of mine too!

    Statue Batman: Black & White (2014)

    There's been a few I've found really (really!) hard to come by! Quitely Batman in particular. It took me months. And among my search I saw a listing on eBay of someone who has #1-100 for about $7000 (roughly). When I saw it I realised how little of them I truly want immediately (e.g. Risso...

    Superman Collection

    They really are both fantastic. I've been gravitating towards the first head sculpt since I've seen it. There's something very unsettling about it and really defines the parasite for me. It took me a while to figure out what it was but once I became aware I Can't unseemly it. It's the black eyes...

    Greeting from Ireland, fellow collector and nerd

    Aw that's awesome. Meeting someone with a connection to me. I'm from cork, the opposite end. Still cool nonetheless. where are you from?

    Statue Batman: Black & White (2014)

    I absolutely agree. Not only have I waited much longer, I've paid sometimes three times more expensive than a 2nd Ed. No regrets. Not only is the emblem change a major incongruity in most cases, the colouring and base are superior on the originals. It's my favourite Batman line to collect...

    Superman Collection

    Holy crap. That is legitimately terrifying! Outstanding. And the material is constructed from ... the upper half looks like a computer rendering. It's chilling and suits the Parasite perfectly. OMG

    Statue Batman: Black & White (2014)

    That looks 1000x better than what I ever thought it would! Thanks for sharing. Best of luck at NYCC

    Superman Collection

    Me too. I finished STAS in June and just love it. Tim Daly is fantastic. And its such a great set up to my favourite show ever - JL:TAS/JLU. I can never really decide who I prefer: Daly or Newburn. I love Michael Rosenbaum (THE voice of the Flash for me) but have never seen Smallville. I guess...

    My DC collection

    It's my pride and joy. Ongoing, but always makes me happy. No matter how humbled I am by the amazing collections I see by you guys on here, I'm still so happy with my own ... while making a list of what I want to add. Recently renovated this room so It's not perfect. Thanks for looking guys...

    Statue Batman: Black & White (2014)

    My collection so far! It's my pride and joy. Love this line. Have a Jock Batman on the way. If anyone has a Quitely Batman and are willing to sell/trade please contact me. I will pay well! It's the one I want most and can't find anywhere.

    What comic are you reading?

    Do you think there's a consensus (or even the semblance of one) for Alan Moore as comics greatest writer? I've read Watchmen, Killing Joke and V (at least). And, I don't know. While undeniably great I don't know if I'd put him as my GOAT (or even where/if in my top 10). What other authors would...

    What comic are you reading?

    That's so cool. You have such a wide net of interests. I read mainly DC but since joining here I'm going to branch out a little (Planetary, some Wildstorm stuff). We are a lot alike in a different way. Most of what we'll read is new to us! It's like being a kid again. Do you have a list of...

    What comic are you reading?

    Yeah, unfortunately his Legends hardcover book is no longer buyer friendly. If it's any good to you I have a link to read online here: https://readallcomics.com/batman-the-monster-men-1/ Didn't realise how expensive they've gotten. What you plan to read next are fantastic! Killing Joke is not...

    What comic are you reading?

    I just tracked it down online for you. It's titled "Last Call at McSurleys" and really fits into Barrs & Davis' work from the mid 80's. (Here: https://readallcomics.com/batman-gotham-knights-025/) I've never read any of Byrne's Marvel stuff but have always heard that his F4 stuff is simply...

    What comic are you reading?

    I've really got to try Planetary! I have DC's Batman Dark Knight Detective vol. 1-8. The first few have the Davis and Neary and Barr stuff. It's just phenomenal. Especially the early Jason Todd stuff. It's really fun and also quite sad knowing what is to come. As well as that, Barr and Davis...

    Superman Collection

    Oh good grief. Where is this from? I just read Brainiac yesterday. Its so awesome - from start to finish! It's definitely the most threatening Brainiac I've ever read. And the design... Especially the sequences where his pods unfold. There are a lot of sequences where its just pictures and no...

    What comic are you reading?

    Night of the Stalker is so damn good - and the Darwyn Cooke redo is as well! Did you read the follow-up to dark detective? It's so natural to go from good figures/statues to the material! I've done it so many times. And at least there's no disappointment when you go vice verse only to discover...

    What comic are you reading?

    What an interesting answer! No way I was expecting this. As someone who's never read Manga I'm in a different position than you. I recently read the first few issues of Impulse! with art by Ramos and adore his style. Wieringo's work on Flash & Robin are some of my all time favourites, and I'm...

    What comic are you reading?

    It really is an awesome story! I'd definitely recommend reading The Monster Men & The Mad Monk (both by Matt Wagner) after it. Also, the Absolute version is amazing. Both versions of the story (original colour palette and modern colouring) read fantastically.

    What comic are you reading?

    Amazing! I really wanted to read Armageddon 2001 but it was never released in tpb. Flirted with buying the issues but never did. Some of the annuals that tied in were fantastic. Especially the Batman ones! Alan Grant is simply a master! I feel similar about Zero Hour. Reading it reminds me in a...
