    Re: Comic Book Fans....

    SPTO, Did you get the Booster Gold #1 this week? It was a really good first issue. If you like Multiverse stuff, like I think you do, you should like this series. Geoff Johns is writing it and he has really been great on everything he's touched lately, IMO.

      It's this week? oops....well i'll have to make a note and get it. Hopefully my father forgot to go to the comic shop so I can have him add it to my list.

        Is anybody keeping up with the Joker origin in Batman Confidential? When does the story-arc wrap up?

          It's a 6 parter and the 3rd part just came out. I haven't read any of it yet though, I usually wait until series like these are just about done before I read them.

            There's a Joker origin? Man...If the 2nd story arc for Brave and the Bold starts off on the wrong foot I may have to drop it off my list and pick up batman: Confidential. That series focuses on events in Batman's past correct?

            Also I haven't received any of the Booster Gold issues Seems the guy who runs the comics place is on vacation and his wife took over. I usually get my books every two weeks so i'm gonna have my pull list written down and hopefully the guy is back so it can be officially added.

              Man I've been going crazy this week on eBay playing catch up on some Spider-man comics.

              Also anyone enjoying the Toxin series?

                I finally got the first two issues of the New Booster Gold. Er, it's interesting but I think that title will get cancelled. I like the concept but it reads like one of those 80s action shows where some boss gives the case and the hero of the show goes about solving said case.

                  yeah, that's basically what it is, but I think it has been really good so far. I like seeing Booster getting mixed up with things that happened in the past (like a comic in a few months will have him around "The Killing Joke" time). I like how he's doing it all to bring Blue Beetle back.

                  As for the recent Action Comics, I don't like Bizarro stories, I usually don't even buy them. I just think they are too goofy. I was hoping for something different with this new one by Johns and Donner, but nope, it's just a normal Bizarro story that I could have done without. Now the Superman book on the other hand, is still being written awesomely by Kurt Busiek. I don't like that the Camelot Falls conclusion is being interrupted by another story, but that's ok, since this other story is the Third Kryptonian story that has been building up. That story will have a different art team, hopefully they are as awesome as the ones that have been doing the Camelot Falls issues.

                    Anyone know where I could buy the Civil War Series, or where the best place, price wise, would be to look?

                    EBay? Amazon? There are no Comic shops around here, so that's out.

                    I'm reading "The Dark Knight Returns" for my class right now, and it has gotten me back in that graphic novel mood, so I am going to go through with it this time and pick up a few.

                      I purchased mine at eBay. Wayne's Comics usually has great deals. Also try MileHighComics, they might be more expensive though. Both are on eBay although MileHigh has their own website as well.

                        I heard the Civil War series was good, so hopefully that is a good start, but any other suggestions I'll take.

                        Batman's easily my favorite. I hate Superman, honestly. Is the Cable/Deadpool series good?

                          The Deadpool series is pretty good. I have issues 1-24 only but so far it has been good.

                          Don't know how big you are into the whole symbiote thing but I would check out the Toxin series.

                            The Marvel Civil War books were spread out among most of their titles, so if you want to read them all, you gotta have a lot of money to spend. If you want to get them all, ebay is definitely the way to go, like finding an auction like this:


                            or this


                            That'll cover you pretty good. Or you can pick and choose the trades you want to get like the trade that covers the 7 single issues of Civil War you can get at Amazon for less than $20. But that was such a major thing, it had tie-ins all over the place.

                              Any other "must read" level Batman ones? I've heard the Arkam Asylum TPB was supposed to be pretty good.

                                There was a Marvel/DC crossover where Batman and Spider-man battle Joker and Carnage. Can't think of the name but if you can find it, that is one good read.
