alexander Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) What issues does the first TPB cover, Zuesy? I could check but I'm OH SO lazy. Because I'd advise not bothering with Authority after issue 12.  Argh, must check this thread more, so much stuff to catch up with...  Deadpool V2 Love the character, and his previous series with (and without) Cable. The new series with Way writing...I gave it a chance, it stunk. Not funny, not gripping. I just got the collected Alan Moore DC Stories in the post. Oh man, the Green Lantern annual stories that (I think) are in there are beautiful bits of science fiction writing. Just take an interesting concept and stretch a fun little tale around it. Of course, these tales of Green Lantern that Moore knocked out in an afternoon each now form the basis for the entirety of three years of stories for modern DC... I have a hankering for some other unique Batman graphic novels I recomend The Long Halloween, any collections of Batman Adventures, stuff that collects the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams stuff (Like Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams) and Batman And The Monster Men. I thought Hush sucked, frankly. Edited January 13, 2009 by Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Mortimer Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 "For The Man Who Has Everything" is pretty damn good, and has the single best Superman panel I've ever seen, when he looks up at Mongul with heat-vision-infused eyes and utters one word:Â "BURN." Because I'm in a generous mood (and my phone needs a new wallpaper: Â Â All-time favourite single comic panel might be an interesting thread (although it'd just get full of people going "can someone find me this, it's from a comic from the 1980s sometime" then get annoyed when no-one answered them).

alexander Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Not a comment on your idea, Mort. Just the first thing that came to my mind - Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Mortimer Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Mine is a panel from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers where some Government official goes something like "oh, that's just our window-display charter. Our real, secret charter gives us UNLIMITED POWER, FOREVER!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucha fan Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys. Â One of my favourite panels is from identity crisis where the JLA take on deathstroke and hes kicking their ass and green arrow jumps on slade's back and say's " Hey Slade There's something in your eye" before stabbing him in the eye with an arrow.

Midnight Zeus Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 What issues does the first TPB cover, Zuesy? I could check but I'm OH SO lazy. Because I'd advise not bothering with Authority after issue 12. Â It covers issues 1-8, good knowing that it deteriorates after issue 12. There are so many other titles I want to read too from recommendations, such as Jonah Hex, Loveless and Powers - I'll trawl eBay and second hand shops for Powers as it seems to be so expensive on the usual book websites. Â Volume 3 of The Boys has just been despatched by Waterstones - I've really been enjoying this series and Billy Butcher reminds me a little bit of Jack Hawksmoor. Â I got volume 11 of Fables for Christmas and it didn't disappoint - still the best comic series I have ever read. Be interesting to see what happens next as the main story arc has come to an end. Interestingly I read that a pilot of Fables is being made in view of becoming a TV series - it'll be fascinating to see how that works out.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted January 13, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 Alexander, that Hellblazer one was a fantastic choice. I can't upload them but off the top of my head these come to mind.  - The Dark Knight Returns, a wounded Batman standing next to The Joker's corpses with a sick grin all over it.  - The Joker plasting that guys head off at the start of Arkham Asylum: A Serious Place On A Serious Earth  - Jesse and Tulip walking off into the sunset on horseback.  - Captain Marvel standing over a fallen Superman at the end of the penultimum chapter of Kingdome Come.

Fables is so consistantly brilliant it's hard to talk about it meaningfully! The Jack Of Fables spin off is great, too...A TV show though...Not convinced. As far as what happens when the main arc is over, the latest issue has a BIG change of status quo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm a trade paperback buyer so I have a long time to wait until I get another taste of Fables, Always feels very tempting when I'm in a comic book shop and I see the next single issue of a series I follow. As for Jack of Fables, at first I didn't warm to his character in the Fables story but as time went on I found him more endearing and by the time he was ready to split I couldn't think of anyone better to have a spin-off series. I did read that Cinderella was going to have a 6 issue spin-off too, but I haven't heard any more on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
