Mon 6/9/2008 8:39a | I finally gave in and picked up the first trade of Y the Last Man. Definitely lives up to the hype. So then I picked up vols 2 and 3. Then like a moron I bought vol 5. One problem I didn't have 4 yet. So I have to go pick that up tonight. |

Mon 6/9/2008 8:48a | I have an original X-Men #1.
I have no clue what it is worth, I would say it isn't mint but its in pretty good shape.
It has a few pencil marks inside though.
It is exactly like this one...

So of course I have every copy of X-Factor. I like the old XMen over the new.

Mon 6/9/2008 8:56a | I haven't been into Comics for many years now but reading this topic from OP to now I am thinking maybe one or more of my sons would like a copy of something, maybe get him started so that I have someone that appreciates my collection to pass it on to him.
In my collection I have several mini collections.
I have lots of the classic and very old Tales from the Darkside, and stuff like that. I love the classic scary comics, like Amazing Stories and the like from the late 60's early 70's.
I also have about 10 years worth of Capt American including the era when the decided to remove the secret soldier serum from him to become PC. Naturally, I also have the same time period of The Avengers.
What a neat thread! |

Mon 6/9/2008 9:27a | Oh, I love the old EC comics, Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and all of those. I wish I could find more than just the hardcover collections of them (only been able to find 1 volume around here so far), but at least I've been able to read some of those great stories. They were just so dark and twisted. |

I just read this review by John ("I'm a PC" "The Areas of My Expertise.") Hodgman, and I'm kinda tempted too.

And that Kirby book sounds pretty nice as well.

Fri 9/12/2008 7:05a | I've got the complete Y the Last Man collection so I'm planning on going through that.
Also checked out the first trade of The Walking Dead. It's good but a little too talky. |

Fri 9/12/2008 8:05a | I...don't know. I think it's going to merit several rereads before I can say whether I think it's deserving of its acclaim. (Like my opinion means anything.) Right off, I can say I really liked the story overall but found the "interludes" to be mostly distracting.
I am still really looking forward to the movie. If it gets released as scheduled. |
