Re: Lazarus

how is the second arc compared to the first? I picked up the trade and liked it so I'm curious as to how the next issues stack up. Haven't heard anything negative so far.. so I'm guessing I'll probably just buy it when the vol 2 hits. I just finished reading the second trade, which comprises issues...

Re: Am I done with Marvel?

And look I'm against the New 52, it took everything except for Batman and Green Lantern and tossed in the garbage. So when Superman is out sold by friggin Harley Quinn we've got issues. I don't know how it's the New 52's fault that Harley Quinn is selling so well... It is editorial's fault for putt...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

No Invincible? Is it any good? Contrary to my pull-list I'm not the biggest Kirkman fan. I really just like TWD (and I like the show a lot more than the comic). And I've kind of heard bad things about it... Like it's too overly-obsessed with blood and gore and death? Idk.. I've read the first few i...

Re: Bagged and Boarded?

I have some Mylar. If I could afford it for all my books, I would. Changing out yellow/pee green bags and boards gets gross. Mylar always looks the same. Mylar can grey out. I assume it's if you leave your comics in a high temperature environment for a long time (ie, hot summer weather). None of my...

Re: Bagged and Boarded?

Hey folks, I've been wondering for a while now; what is it about bagging and boarding comics that protects them? Obviously it keeps them separate from each other and less likely to crease etc, but I've seen things like 'non-acidic card' written down here and there, so presumeably it's to stop colou...

I read Spread yesterday. Decent, but I think there are some obvious comparisons to TWD and Manifest Destiny. Could help it if readers want more of that sort of thing, or hurt if people think it's a knock off/riding on the coattails of the success of similar books. Will give it a few issues to see w...

Re: Harbinger Wars Deluxe Edition ----release date?

Captain Craig, Can you let me know what the reading order is in the book once you get it? The only reason I ask about this is because I have a feeling that the book might have the 1970's pages in the beginning, before any of the present day stuff. I'm surprised no one answered you yet (Unless they ...

Does anyone know when the deluxe edition of Harbinger Wars is coming out? It was originally slated for May 28, which is still the date posted on the Valiant Comics website....Most places have the release date as June 10, which obviously means the book's delayed. Is there any word on when the book wi...

So I finished the second Saga trade. It's really good, but the unnecessary graphic sex is totally ruining it for me (I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but it really frustrates me).

That seems pricy to overpriced for that grade. I generally find flea market books overpriced, and sometimes vastly so. Still, a classic book and a key Cap issue. They are not easy to find.
