Title: Comic book geeks
Post by: Pride of Staten Island on February 23, 2007, 02:53:20 PM
As some of you may know, Jim Hanley's Universe here in NYC is having a big sale this weekend to coincide with the NY Comic Con.

I know from the chat that a lot of you are comic readers and while I certainly have my own list of things I'd like to pick up I would like to hear any suggestions and recommendations. So please, feel free to geek it up...

What, like trade paper backs? I really liked American Way. You should check that out. Also, pick up a couple of 100 Bullets books, especially the one that introduces Cole. I freaking love the ice cream truck vignettes. Speaking of Azzarello books, I highly recommend Lex Luthor, Man of Steel. It's fantastic.

Ooh, and Crossing Midnight! Pick up the first couple of issues. Check it out, it's good stuff! I love Mike Carey.

Ooh, and DMZ! I picked up the trade, and it's pretty great. So is Testament, if you really liked your religious studies classes in college.

Ugh, I freaking hated Old Boy the movie. I can't imagine I'd like the manga any more.

I was thinking of checking out "Crossing Midnight" and "DMZ." I'll probably pick up the first trades of each.

Has anyone read "Desolation Jones?" I've heard good things.

How about "Checkmate?" I loved Greg Rucka's work on "Gotham Central" but I haven't heard much about this book.

I wish 2000A.D. (or whoever owns them these days) would issue Marvel Essentials style reprints of the old judge dredd series. I heart that stuff. Speaking of horrible movie adaptations....

Wont happen since 200Ad are putting out such nice versions of th reprints why put out an essential like on crap paper. again they are pricey for the US but oh so much nicer.
