What comics are you reading now?

[400yrs]

Image has some great dark themed books like Walking Dead and Fell (definitely some of the best stuff out there) Grab the First WD graphic novel for 10 bucks, you wont be disappointed

I agree. I'll have to check out Fell. I've been hearing alot of good things about that book.

Thats a lot of recommendations for Walking Dead

Is it really that good?

Yep. Pick up the first trade cheap on ebay and try it out. The art isn't the greatest, but it gets better as the series goes on. Frankly, the art is secondary to me anyways. It's the story that matters most.

I'm also getting the wolvie origins title. Here's a question for you - what do you think of the art on this book?

[siren3-4]

I'm also getting the wolvie origins title. Here's a question for you - what do you think of the art on this book?

Ennis, Dillon and Fabry have a fan for life in me after Preacher.

I love everything they do.

I think Steve Dillon does great expressions and you have to get out of the "Mcnivin or Turner" style of 100% posing all the time art.

If you are not used to it, it probably seems too clean, but I love it. I totaly fell into the world of Preacher every time I read it.

[Brother J]

let's see, I'll look at my last few Previews order forms and tell you what I'm buying:

Jonah Hex
American Virgin
Bite Club: Vampire Crime Unit
Y: The Last Man
The Walking Dead
Punisher (MAX, Garth Ennis)
Following Cerebus (a Cerebus fanzine type publication)
Zoom Suit
Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine (if issue #3 ever comes out!!!)

American Splendor (new series from Vertigo, I have a complete run of the Pekar published books and almost all the Dark Horse issues)

Se7en (7 issue mini series, one for each of the seven deadly sins, man am I anxious to get this book, I love the movie!)

Gumby (written by Bob Burden, wish he would get back to the Flaming Carrot!)

Begoths Comics (at least the first issue, I find goth chicks hot! )

Bucky O'Hare Graphic Novel (for my buddy, Knightt)

hmm, guess that's it, at least for what should be coming out in the next couple of months.

....

One of the staff at my LCS joked today that it is now being published as annuals - one of the other staff believed him! How can you rip a character in two with beautiful Leneil Yu art and then...not publish the rest of the darn series?

Now those 2 sound interesting!

I picked up the first issue of Gumby, lots of fun and a great book to get to share with your kids, they should really enjoy it even though Gumby is from a previous generation.

No minimum order. You're not locked in as a monthly subscriber unless you opt to do so. Great packing and customer service. Flexible shipping options - once a month, every two weeks, ever week, UPS, USPS, etc. They will bag and board for 12 cents per b&b, but they don't advertise it.

[daydreamscomics]

my top picks of late:

daredevil
all star superman
captain america
catwoman
blue beetle
batman (morrison run)
fell
hulk
nextwave
superf*ckers (from top shelf - HILARIOUS)

[Heath]

Shipping is great. Excellent packing. All my comics are individually bagged and boarded (but that's an optional, unadvertised service), then all together placed in a poly bag that's very thick and much bigger than magazine size. That is wrapped in cardboard. That is then surrounded by packing peanuts.

I'm not sure how they calculate shipping, but my guess is a certain rate per box. Although the number of comics I get each month varies, the shipping is consistently the same. For those items that are in my cart right now, the shipping options are:

UPS
Monthly: $7.05 (this is what I always choose)
Biweekly: $13.05
Weekly: $17.05

USPS Priority Mail
Monthly: $8.80
Biweekly: $15.80
Weekly: $21.80

USPS Media Mail
Monthly: $7.30
Biweekly: $14.30
Weekly: $20.30
