Comics You Will Never Get Rid Of
« on: February 23, 2015, 01:38:37 AM »
I recently had to pare down my singles collection (once I list them all I'll probably make them available to any of you lot), but as I went through I really took a look at my collection and realized that I'll have some of these until they put me in the dirt. Do you guys have any?

Some examples from me:
-Milligan's Shade the Changing Man
-Fraction's Defenders and Invincible Iron Man
-any and all Hellblazer issues
-Gillen's Young Avengers
-Current Image boom (Sex Crims, Pretty Deadly, Velvet, ect ect)
-Machine Man #1
-Ellis' Secret Avengers

I thought this was going to be about "Comics you will never be able to get rid of."

I was going to suggest Billy Crystal (obv), Jon Lovitz, Howie Mandel.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Oh, man, that is worth pursuing as well.

For me, it's the Chris Claremont/Bill Sienkiewicz run of New Mutants. The Demon Bear and Legion storylines are my favorite things ever.

Oh, man, New Mutants! I have a wishlist that I always take to conventions and that should definitely be on it. I'll also add Si Spurrier's run on X-Men: Legacy, which may have been the book that finally made me an X-Men fan.

The "Marvels" mini-series. It gave me the same feeling of awe and wonder that I had when I first started reading comics as a kid.

All issues of "Hate" and "Eightball"

Whoooo, boy, is Marvels great or what? I used to have these awful water stained copies of the first three issues and I still read the hell out of them. When Brusiek is on, he is hot fire. I've never heard of Hate and Eightball, but I'm sure I'll dig them. There isn't many comics that I don't.

I'll also never throw out any issues of New Avengers. Bendis and Hickman. I love both takes on the team and the book's ragtag origin.

Gaiman's Sandman and the quasi-spinoff Lucifer. Those two I go back to time and time again. Sandman Overture is out right now - it's an interesting return to a story concluded some years ago. I have low expectations for the Lucifer TV show one of the networks is producing...yet another procedural.

Yeah, I have no idea why Lucifer needs to be a procedural. It makes no sense to me at all. Mike Carey though...that dude can write.

Early New Mutants for sure. Tim Vigil stuff (Grips and Faust), my old X-men (Clairemont era), anything Kirby, Fat Ninja, Boris the Bear, Roachmill, the Spirit, HATE, Angry Youth Comix, House of Mystery/Secrets, Exquisite Corpse, Hard Boiled, Elektra mini series, Secret Wars, KISS, Crisis, Grendel and Mage....I should just toss everything else.

I LOVE House of Mystery/Secrets. Honestly, I'll buy most anything with a Vertigo logo on it.

Oh, man, these are even better! I always try to pick up old DC and EC horror comics when I can. They are nasty little yarns. The Vertigo ones I babbled about were mainly centered on the Dreaming's version of the House of Secrets with Cain and Abel as the main characters. It also focused on the magic side of the DCU.
