Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ta, Branquey. I'll give Kills a go and then try that Vs one. I read Mother Russia last night. Fury is actually quite an annoying, charmless cunt in it, isn't he? Â Just curious, slightly off topic, but has anyone ever banged one out to a nude in a comic or Manga, back in the day? Like Chun Li in Street Fighter 2 The Animated Movie for example, or The Invisibles? My mates reckon it was just me who did that, and their birds now know that I actually had a peddle to what is essentially ink and a dudes imagination and handiwork on paper/screen.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've been reading loads of the new 52 stuff recently, I was a bit dubious at first but it really is nice knowing you can grab a graphic novel of a character you know and there'll be no baggage, just a new (maybe slightly tweaked) interpretation of an established character, everyone likes a nice starting point to get into something from and comics can be really bad for that. I actually really didn't get on with Animal Man but I loved Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E, All Star Western and Green Arrow. Aquaman's good fun too. I read one of the Superman titles and it wasn't bad but nothing amazing, The Court of Owls Batman story was great but I wasn't feeling Detective comics at all. Not read Swamp Thing or Wonder Woman yet but I'll check them out as I've heard good things and I like the characters. One I really didn't like unfortunately was the Justice League which disappoints me as I love DC hero group stories, Justice League International was cool but unfortunately it got cancelled, I hope Booster Gold crops up somewhere else as he's one of my faves. Â I just found out that a new title called Justice League 3000 is coming out in a bit which excites me because it's being made by the team behind my all time favourite comic, the Justice League/International from the mid to late eighties, that was a great comic with so much humour (revisited in the 90s in "formerly known as the Justice League" and "I can't believe it's not the Justice League" I'm excited to see the creators working on something new together.

The Invisible Boy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Picked up Superman Earth One today at my local Travelling Man, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted July 29, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 I've never read Guardians of the Galaxy but with the new film coming out I'd like to. Is there a good graphic novel or starting point for the version that the film's going to be based on? (there are a couple of different versions I believe, like an old one and a reboot right?)

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thought I'd have a quick look online when the next Unwritten was out since it had been a while since Volume 7 (March). Â Feb 2014!! Almost a whole year.. fuck! Â Anyway, I have recently been reading Preacher all the way through. The first time I read Preacher it was here and there, borrowed off people and the library and I'm not sure I ever actually read the whole thing. It's really nice to read through it properly and sequentially at a decent pace. Â It has held up very well, and still manages to shock me at times. It's hilarious too, and the characters are just brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Been meaning to get hold of The Unwritten, liked the premise of it when I read about on here. Now that my work pays for my petrol I might pick it next time I go in town. Â Regards the next one, Amazon have The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor And The Ship That Sank Twice up for pre-order for release on October 1st, is that the one you were referring to? Or is somekind of standalone story?? Edited August 14, 2013 by KingOfMetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 14, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2013 Oh cool! So that seems to be a standalone, but I had no idea it was on the way. Sweet. That'll tide me over and give me my fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted August 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2013 After a 3 week drought finally I can get my Batman back on.  Batman Venom Allstar Batman & Robin vol 1 Gotham Central book one: In the Line of Duty Superman/Batman Public Enemies Superman/Batman Supergirl Superman/Batman Absolute Power Superman/Batman Vengeance  All arrived in the post today. Pretty psyched to get into Gotham Central. I remember eyeing up a issue years ago in the local comic shop and always regretted letting it go. Completely forgot it existed until stumbling on it on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted August 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2013 Batman Venom is a classic, it's really good, I just re read it a couple of weeks ago for the first time since I was about 14 and I loved it. Â I've spoken before of my love for the Batman/Superman series and absolute power is so cool, it's set in a universe where Batman and Superman are raised as brothers and rule the world, who wouldn't want to read a story with that premise?

Harvey Dent Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Does anyone on here subscribe to Marvel Unlimited? I'm finally getting an iPad soon and the catalog looks pretty sweet. I know you can't download and keep the comics, or tag more than 12 to read offline, but it still seems pretty cool to have access to that much material.

KingOfMetal Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Picked up Batman - Venum and the first volume of The Unwritten the other day from my local shop (always try to support it as he's an independent retailer) but can't stretch to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 86 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Has anyone been collecting the Marvel Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection? Â For some reason I completely missed it's existance until the last week or so when I stumbled over it by accident. Â More to the point, if anyone has been collecting it and doesnt want their collection anymore please let me know!! Â (Here's the wiki page with a list of the books in the series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Official_...vel_Collection) Edited September 9, 2013 by Ian 86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) I bought the first one but then couldn't justify the price every fortnight for stuff I knew I wouldn't read and didn't have room for (what with buying about ten wrestling dolls a month), didn't know it was still going.

David Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've just read #1 of the new Forever Evil series. Pretty good thus far, and definitely leaves you wanting to know more. Also, DC Universe vs Masters Of The Universe?!? Â As a kid I'd have happily gave my right nut for that comic book series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
