If it's a first print, it sells for $100. 2 copies just sold for $150 and $175 too.

Unity!

I finished Unity just last week. All the repetition absolutely killed it for me and made it a bit tedious to get through. It's an 18 issue event that had about 3 issues worth of story.

I kinda enjoyed seeing the story from all the different angles

Me too, but the story works best when read over the course of a week or two, rather than all at once or even over a day or two.

Definitely. Over several months like when it was released, yeah. It's not something I want to read nearly straight through again.

Yep. I'd suggest doing 0 & 1 in a single sitting, then waiting 2 or 3 days. Wait days, do 2-5. Wait 2 or 3 days, read 9-12 & finish up 13-18 about 3-5 days after that. It works a lot better because of all the redundancy.

Is that price still rising then? Over here I've seen it go for around £50-60.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised when I searched it yesterday. The book has been in the 80-100 range for a while. I think those sales were higher because there are very, very few copies up right now for some reason (raw at least). I think I only saw 1 raw copy up right now and only the 3 in completed auctions.

There are no raw copies on eBay uk at the mo, and the only completed listing is issues 1-10 all first print for £86.

[Phantom..]

Prices over here differ.
US residents can get ok deals even with postage.

However, we do not show up on their ebay listings as international sellers as much as they do here.

In uk, if you search for something, at the bottom their is a huge list of international sellers.

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow

I was taken out of this story right off the bat when it was "revealed" that Clark Kent was Superman simply by knocking Clark's glasses off and breaking through his shirt. One problem I've always had with Superman is that he doesn't wear a mask, but no one recognizes him.

Since that is how the story started, that doomed it for me right away. The story itself was fine, but not something I will read again. I kind of expected a bit more out of Alan Moore.

I have yet to read the rest of the stories in the trade.

Wow, I'm surprised you didn't think much of it. I thought that story was pretty damn cool. It really sets a mood of dread and despair in the reader's mind (well, at least this reader) and I think the art also does an excellent job of extending that feeling. To me, it's probably my favorite Superman story.

The art was really good. My problem was really with the beginning. It just took me right out of the story. And after reading both issues, I'm not really sure that the identity reveal was even necessary at all to the story.

I don't think there has been any Superman story that I've really liked. I thought Superman For All Seasons was bland. Death of Superman was painfully bad. The story that I've liked the most was the recent Last Son story and the subsequent Action issues. I want to re-read that soon, but I really just can't get into Supes.

All Star Superman
Superman: Man of Steel mini
Kingdom Come
For the man who has everything

They are some of the best imo. And Superman v Muhammad Ali has just been rereleased

Unless it's being released treasury-sized, it won't be as cool as the original.

[Cyberstrike]

If I still got them and if I can find them John Byrne's 2112 and John Byrne's Next Men #0-30.

That is for sure!

Thanks Hobo!

Have you ever read my Superman story?

[Jersen]

Finally getting around to reading Seven Soldiers. Read the first 4 issues so far and I'm digging it, just getting a feel for what's going on in these different miniseries.

[xodacia81]

Just read my comics for the week: The Flash, Green Lantern, Brightest Day and DCU Legacies. Each was pretty damn good, for a change, with all having major plot developments. Brightest Day was nice, as it explored the character of Boston Brand in detail. The Flash offered some interesting questions for Barry, the Rogues and the future "Flashpoint" storyline. Green Lantern had some excellent scenes, indicitating that the Indigo Tribe might not be so great after all. The "War of the Lanterns" is starting to take shape. All in all, an EXCELLENT week.

I accidently opened the last page of GL in the store... Say whattt! Great image.

I love the design, but where does it fit in with the current series for that character?

There's two editions of the rerelease. One's a regular sized hardcover, the other's treasury sized.
