Title: Comics anyone?
Post by: Arkansan on July 20, 2013, 11:29:59 PM
Do you read them? Which one? Any collectors?

I am currently reading Thor God of Thunder, Uncanny X-Men, and Morbius the Living Vampire which is getting dropped in a few months sadly.

I collect Punisher stuff, I have almost the entire Punisher 2099 run which is fun for what it is. I also have all four issues of Batman Year One.

I read a bunch of stuff, primarily Marvel, and have for years. My current favorites are All-New X-Men, Wolverine & The X-Men, Thor God of Thunder, Nova, Hawkeye, Absolution: Rubicon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 and Angel & Faith...and I write comics myself, to boot (getting ready to launch The Chronicles of Rachel Strand ongoing series, a superhero horror book in the vein of the old Midnight Sons titles and the Buffyverse...we have a few one shots out already, building to the series itself).

Astro City is about all I read these days, although I do pick up Essentials (X-men, Spider-man and others), when I can.

I used to read and collect "Savage Sword of Conan". I don't even know if they still put it out.

Marvel hasn't done any Conan in a while, however Darkhorse puts out some pretty good Conan stuff.

Astro City, Atomic Robo.

I'm still considering getting a Marvel Unlimited subscription.

Atomic Robo is very good--I get it in trade form, rather than individual issues.

Almost all modern comics are toss. I've been busy filling in all the gaps from my childhood collections (mid 80s to early 90s runs of Daredevil, Cap, Iron Man, GI Joe, and the Punisher, plus the whole Claremont run of X-Men and all the spinoffs). Just bought a filing cabinet and now I'm bagging and boarding everything.

I read a lot of European stuff, though I did also read Punisher and that "dark DC line" that had Swamp Thing, I can't remember it off hand. Left it around the time Constantine was completely redesigned, including turning Papa Midnite from an evil voodoo gangster into an evil voodoo pimp with HARD MISUNDERSTOOD PAST and it's all WHITE MAN'S FAULT (in original, he started his career by murdering his own sister, so...).

I'm on the fence about Marvel Digital. I think my son and I would both use it plenty...but the Android app is HORRIBLE.

I've been reading exclusively collections for almost a decade now.

At the moment, I'm working my way through Bendis' complete run on Ultimate Spider-Man.

I am crawling my way through the Judge Dredd Mega-City Case File collections.

I have been meaning to look into those. Has anyone picked up the new Dredd series? I discovered it last week but don't want to go hunting down back issues unless its worth it.
