I'm working on:

Valiant
Broadway
Defiant
Ultraverse
Chaos
Crossgen
New Universe
Continuity
Future

and thinking about adding

Comics Greatest World

I'm not overly active but always looking for good deals and books for cheap. I love to scour the quarter bins on the last day of a con when most dealers will let you fill up a long box for about $50 or so.

Weeeeeellllll..... no.

I should place that in the 'other' portion. They do however fly the Wildstorm flag but there 'are' new books out for Cyberforce, WildCATs, Deathblow and others. I look back on the 90s books as something different than what we have today.

But a Dead Universe ? No... I guess. I mean... well... no.

Yeah, I think Rob Leifield drew the entire Image universe and every character fell on top of one another from not having any feet or wrists and then it just imploded as Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio and crew just started yanking their hair screaming "I just can't take it anymore!!!! WHY CAN'T YOU DRAW!!"

And that was that.


Off the record of course.

That mainly explained the rmeoval of Extreme IIRC, rather than Wildstorm as well. Since then Savage Dragon has seemingly moved to an alternate Earth, so the shared Image continuity should be considered fluid at best - certainly not consistent at any rate.

It was Top Cow that was the only one that left and came back at the end.
IIRC The Extreme characters were never explained how, why, (or even if) they ever left the Image Universe.

I've totally toned it way down compared to when I first joined. The wallet was just taking too big a hit. I am still working on select titles for:

Eclipse
Crossgen
ICG
Valiant
Acclaim

Man is that it? Must be due to all those 80's DC Baxter books I'm addicted to.

Ones I am trying to get all of are...

Pacific (Completed)
Black Bull
Crossgen
Broadway
Immortelle
Fangoria (Completed)
TSR (Completed)
Atlas Seaboad
Defiant
Speakeasy (Need just 1 to complete)
Kandora (Complete)

There are about as many again that I collect casually but don't expect to get them all. I don't do signed comics though so when I say complete I am not talking about signed books.

Ohhhh...please explain! I thought the 25th Anniversary might infuse some life into it. That reprint of #1 they gave away at FCBD was really nice!

Well, Tales of the TMNT vol. II is published on a monthly basis however, TMNT vol. IV (the current continuity of the Turtles) is published only once in a while. Starting with #29 it's been available for free download at wowio.com. Or, you can buy one of the thousand copies that they print. Cover price is $10. #30 will be out soon.
