I think Elven is the only one of those I haven't read at all.

Prime, Rune, Sludge, Strangers ... I also liked Freex and Firearm. I think at one time or another I've read the first 6-10 of most of these. And at least the first 5 of Hardcase. I read some as they were coming out, which I can barely remember at this point, and then some again 3-4 years ago. But t...

If you were crafting your own "Ultraverse Omnibus" of the must-read comics of the Ultraverse, what would you include?

Cool, I am going to check this out...

Update on what's happening with the Gold Key stuff from NYCC: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=48415" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Following a week-long teaser campaign asking "What is the key?" leading up to New York Comic Con, CBR News has...

I picked up one more random issue of this... at this rate I will have a full run in about 30 years.

It's been a while since I've read them, but from what I remember, DP 7 and PSI Force of the ones I've read.

With "Ghost" coming back, I decided to try out some of the original CGW stuff, and that's really a pretty solid series from what I've read so far.

This looks promising. Glad to see a zero issue.

That was a lot more than I had thought, too.

It seems to me they are going "Kirbyesque" with Captain America, which is one of the directions you could go to have a clear different feel from Ed Brubaker's excellent, long run (which was sort of Steve Englehart by way of Tom Clancy). If it was anything like Brubaker's run, I think it wo...

Awesome! Thank you!

Is there an index of the release dates of the original Valiant Comics? I'm using Mike's Amazing World of Comics as an index for a series of posts I'm doing about the comics of 1991: http://blog.newsok.com/nerdage/2012/09/20/the-comic-books-of-1991-a-look-back/" onclick="window.open(this.hr...

I found two more issues, but haven't read them yet. It looks like it ran for 40-plus issues over 10 years, though!

Given the way comics currently work, I can't imagine publishers for the most part wouldn't renumber every 3-5 years, even though I think you get diminishing returns on it. We'll see how long DC's numbers stay high on the New 52 stuff. Marvel has been pretty slipshod before now about renumbering thin...

Very likely my favorite book of the year. If you haven't checked it out yet, $10 for the trade is well worth doing.

I wrote several articles about CrossGen in their heyday, though some of them have slipped off the site. This one's about CrossGen's "Comics on the Web" initiative... I think maybe they were just a few years too early on this one. They had a good idea and price point. http://newsok.com/arti...

I liked CrossGen - my store was a premiere store and we did really well with them! Ruse and Sojourn were probably my favorites, though I liked most of the line. I have a quote on the cover of one of the issues of Scion, from an article I wrote in my newspaper job. That was pretty excellent.

Awesome, thanks for making that list!

I like that Trevor Hairsine Bloodshot cover.

This could be interesting!

Has anyone read this series? I randomly found one and was reading it when my youngest daughter saw the cover and demanded I read it to her. She dug it, so now I think I'm on the hook for finding more of them. It is actually kind of cool. One of the main heroes of the book turns into a dragon. I was ...

I just got a bunch more of these. I'm close to having a reading set of some of the series. I'm weirdly looking forward to it!

We reviewed it on our comics show: http://blog.newsok.com/nerdage/2012/05/04/the-avengers-reviewed-amazing-spider-man-and-dark-knight-rises-get-new-trailers-free-comic-book-day-is-saturday/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm excited to see how well it's been received overal...

If you like the poster art, why not? Then you can collect them all again.
