Your latest comic book or novel

[omegaglory1]

Currently reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman, the final volume. The whole series is a hell of a ride, you never quite know what to expect from this most unusual comic book.

And these...

Thanks, guess I will get it

Sorry for the late reply but your welcome. also, with the new 52 batman titles, I really enjoyed batman and robin written by Peter tomasi. Some people didn't like it but I think it's been really great. Really made me enjoy Damian Wayne's character. As did the new batman inc from grant Morrison.

For those that have read it, how is the new x men title from marvel now? I don't read a lot of marvel except amazing spider man and Scarlett spider, but I'm a big x men fan. Loved morrisons run and read the first Wheaton trade but haven't read them since. Is it easy to just pick up issue 1 and know what's going on?

Few arrivals for me for Christmas from the family...

Pretty pleased with them all

Congrats on the haul. I can't recommend batman earth one highly enough. I absolutely adored it. The entire thing was just brilliant.

Read Saga #8. Wow. I don't think I could love this book any more. Best thing I've read in a long time.

Captain America #2. I love the year passing twist. For me, this feels like Planet Captain America to Planet Hulk. I have a feeling Remender is going somewhere special with this run. Romita's art is growing on me too.

Indestructible Hulk #2. This book is alright. Worth pulling if you're a fan of the character. I feel like it's pretty vanilla so far, but Waid is most likely building towards the inevitable fall for Banner.

Anyone read Matt Fraction's Hawkeye yet? BKV gave it high praise, and I was a big fan of Fraction's Iron Man run.

Got Brubaker's Cap omnibus volume 1 for Christmas. Had the trades, but needed some hard cover goodness to represent.

I just got Earth One also for xmas

Loving it so far and really hope this is the direction the new movie takes

Just finished Halo: The Flood - novelization of the original game. Rating B -

Decent, but had I known at the time it was a redo of game 1, would have skipped

Sorry about the double post but I found a better and larger picture.

Hulk #167 in CGC 9.8

MODOK is one of my favorite villains.

I'm not too far in, but I am really enjoying it so far.

That's awesome! I love seeing old comics treated well. My friend has The Incredible Hulk #181 graded, and it's always a neat thing to see when we hang out. The idea that this is the one that started it all, and just how much the character has caught on in the time since (Wolverine in his case); you're owning a piece of history.

Thanks! Yup, I collect Silver/Bronze age CGC books purely for sentimental reasons. These are the comics I grew up on as a kid in the '70s. Now as an adult with some disposable income, it's nice to own the best of the best. Makes for nice displays with my statues.

I will never sell these for profit nor was it my intention.

By the way, Hulk #181 in CGC 9.9 (single highest in ther world) sold for $150,000 last year.

Damn, yeah, he actually bought his from a local comic book store for, I think, $500, and sent it in to be graded. I think it's about a 6.8 or 6.9. Not the best condition, but far from the worst. My being a DC guy, I'd love to own Detective #27 and Action #1.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Next week I'll be picking up three of these!

One to keep, one to donate to the library and one to giveaway at our library's Star Wars Day on May 4th, 2013.

That would be nice but way out of my league.

Same here, I'm sad to say. C'mon Powerball, show me the money!
