DF Comic Books / Re: Style of Comics You Read
« on: June 25, 2008, 11:42:53 PM »

I don't read too many regular comics anymore. I'm mostly getting trades now, expect for Dresden Files and occassionally an issue of Ultimate Spiderman. (aside: although I did get to pick up some extra comics this week: Booster Gold, Wolverine, Justice Society, the Spirit. BG, Wolverine, and JS were all really good).

The ones I just HAVE to collect in trades/hardcover/etc:

Invincible (Image): Great book. Its a superhero book, but unlike anything else out there. This book takes chances and keeps suprising me.

The Dark Tower: I have the first hardcover and I plan to get the second one! I'm a big fan of the DT books & comics.

Anything by Dwight L. MacPherson: Really good creator. Read his comic, Edgar Allan Poo, recently and its excellent. Other books coming up: Kid Houdini, Edgar Allan Poo 2, M-Theory (a retro sci-fi pulp book), and more!

Anything by Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale: Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Dark Victory, Superman For All Seasons, Daredevil: Yellow, Spiderman: Blue! All great comics, imo. I also need to get Catwoman: When In Rome and Hulk: Grey. Coming soon: Captain America: White! These guys are great team, imo.

So, anyway, I collect (off and on) classic Marvel/DC stuff, stuff based off of novels, and comics from Image.

I also really liked the new issue of Wolverine and the comic Booster Gold (time traveling superhero) and plan to check out trades for both.

I want to check out some of Alan Moore's ABC comics in trades too (especially Top 10, Tomorrow Stories, and Tom Strong).

And I definitly can't wait to read more Dresden Files comics!

I heard about the books because of the TV Show.

When Sci-Fi announced the series and what it about, I thought that sounded cool. I also thought I might check out the books. But I didn't. Later, when the series was about to start on Sci-Fi, I decided I'd check out the books. So I got to read Storm Front and maybe the second book (not sure) before the series started. I really like the books and they definitly got me excited for the series! So I continued to read the books!

I'm on 'Death Masks' now and I'm enjoying the books alot. The TV Show is good, but the books are GREAT. I really like how Harry's world continues to change through out the books and the situations that Harry is put in are cool! My favorite book so far is Summer Knight (wow that was great), but 'Death Masks' is really cool so far. It may even replace Summer Knight. Gotta finish the book before I'm sure! :)

Anyway, I'm definitly a Dresden fan!  ;D
