MARVEL Debuts Chinese Superhero Titles

 

[goledensilence]

Said a while back I was tired of Batman stories, but man this White Knight story was on point. Would love to see this story turned into an animated film.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Caught up in Thor.

Janes Tun was good. She went out with style. Just finished 706. Interested how they will bring back mjolnir

 

[goledensilence]

Can’t wait to dive into these two books

 

[danger style]

Decided to read All New Wolverine. Kind of an up and down run. Some of the art has been .

The first arc and the last couple of issues have been really good though.

 

[SC kid]

If you live near an ollies warehouse they have a crap load of graphic novels for great prices

 

[goledensilence]

Went a little crazy with the new #1 for Black Panther. Grabbed every cover that GeorgeTown Comics had on their EBay page. That’s my main go to for comics now.

 

[Fozz]

How is Black Panther? My local shop sold out.

And smh at Marvel for pricing Amazing Spider-man #800 at $9.99.

This better be a legit ending to this story arc.

Jeez. And I thought comics were expensive in my collecting days (1991-97). I was legit upset when covers had $2.95 just because of the foil covers or hologram card on it.

Yeah, I get it. Epic #800 but $9.99? That was kind of hard for me to accept.

Sucks how DC went back to $3.99. Curious if that will affect sales in Bendis’ new Superman comic.

 

[goledensilence]

That Black Panther comic I grabbed at the very bottom of the picture above was $10 too.

 

[Fozz]

Descender #30 was good. Bummed that the series is ending at #32.

Saga was okay. I may just go back to the trades and deal with the long wait.

Have yet to read ASM #800 and the remaining issues of Barrier.

Finished Vol. 5 of Deadly Class. Really liking this book.

They justify it with all the extra pages.

It was only a matter of time EC decided to stop losing money.

And yeah, Bendis comics will make an extra buck on every sale now

 

[Platinum State]

Im enjoying Doomsday Clock so much I'm gonna order the Watchmen tpb soon. I never read it.
Anyone else liking Gideon Falls?

 

[swaynomics930]

No comics but goodies nonetheless

GameStop is going to start selling comic books.

[goledensilence]

I personally like that GameStop is making this move. There's no comic shops anywhere near where I live so I would finally have a place to purchase comics in person.

There are pros and cons.

Really prefer to keep the comic book sales with the local shops.

 

[Fozz]

Finished Amazing Spider-Man #801. What a solid run from Slott and glad he had Marcos Martin do the artwork for that issue. Love his work.

Also just finished Saga #53 and WHAT AN ENDING.

I dont read many graphic novels, but here are some of my suggestions for these genres.
Alot of these have nice collected editions too.

Sci-Fi: Black Science (Great story by Remender and Scalera is one of the best artists in the game imo)

Political: Ex Machina (Really cool tale about how the world's first superhero becomes mayor of NY after 9/11)

Coming of Age: Blankets (Could not recommend this GN enough. Autobiographic tale of the author. This is a graphic novel, so you can finish the whole story in one book)

Saga, Descender, Deadly Class, Kill of Be Killed, Low.

I'll think of more and add to the list.
