anyone reading BSG?

Speedy-D — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:15:49 GMT

So, has anyone given Battlestar Galactica a shot? I think the show is great (doesn't everyone), but I'm skeptical about the comic. The series is so plot driven, I don't see how a comic can be released at the same time. Seems to me it'd either tell the same exact story, contradict in some way ... or maybe, best bet here, tell tangent tales that don't affect the main arc of the show.

If you have tried it out, how is it?

Lone Ranger & Zorro From Dynamite

Xero — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:02:28 GMT

Just wondering if these were good titles, or nothing but gratuitous violence. My GF's into these type of comics, and is a fan of Marvels Zorro series, so I was trying to get a little info on them before I have them pulled.

Detective Comics

Epcomics — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:03:49 GMT

Can anyone suggest a good detective/superhero comic for me?

Thanks in advance.

The Walking Dead

PEP — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:25:03 GMT

Anyone get a chance to read #48?

I tell you, I was completely bummed out after reading it, just when I think they cant possibly do anything else to the characters. Outstanding series but a sad/horrible issue.

Star Wars...

BMXman — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:38:47 GMT

So I need some recommendations...I have recently decided to collect comics with stories I actually will read and like...I know kind of a radical way to collect...but anyway I have always loved the movie series so I thought I would try some comics. So far I have bought Star wars Legacy 1 and 2 TPB's, Prelude to rebellion, Purge and the Qui-Gon Obi-Won mini series....any other good reads out there in the Star Wars books??...D

Anybody reading Witchblade?

ckillian — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:50:11 GMT

I enjoyed the whole First born story arch, the story now is pretty good and as always the artwork is good!

Your thoughts....

Gen 13 Jigsaw Chromium Question

Harb — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:34:06 GMT

This isn't in the DB and I can't quite remember if it was Part of the giant box set variants as it is not listed in the DB. Just wonder how to add it to the DB, or if it is considered separate because it is signed.

Pay no attention to the price, that sticker has been there since it came out in 95.

Thanks,

Chimaera Comics

BearBell68 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:14:14 GMT

Chimaera Comics is getting ready to release new books this August, one of which is Wargod. Anybody else get the one shot a couple years ago? Check out their site at http://www.chimaerastudios.com/ They have up shirts of many different designs for sale too.

Anyone checked out Wild Cards by George Martin?

Speedy-D — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:45:58 GMT

I grabbed this at the LCS on a whim. Turns out it's pretty good. It's got a nice mystery vibe to it, and the writing/art has a good tone. Kinda like the first issue of the new Tor series, I think the pacing is great so far.

Has anyone else read or liked it?

Kirkman Hard covers

Lookwhoitis — Sat, 31 May 2008 15:40:14 GMT

Hey folks, I am Headed to Heroes con and want to take advantage of Kirkman and Ottley being there.

I own the Complete Invincible Library (Omnibus) Vol 1 official signed/numbered edition. I haven't taken it out o fthe plastic yet. Do you think I should take it out of its shrinkwrap and try to get an Ottley sketch inside? or would it be best for collectible/potential resale purposes to leave it sealed?

Also I am trying to buy a copy of the Walking Dead omnibus V1 (see my WTB post) in time to get signed by Kirkman at Heroes. I would eventually try to get it signed by Kirkman and signed/sketched by Moore, Adlard, and/or Rathburn inside too, but that would be a long term con project, as Kirkman is the only one going to be there.

Since WD single issue prices are astronimical right now (still need 1-8 1st prints), i think it would be better to sink cash into these HBs.

Does anyone know when v2 of the walking Dead Omnibus and v2 of the Complete Invincible Library will be solicited? thanks...

Image-Warlands

jhens57 — Sat, 24 May 2008 14:48:57 GMT

I just got a warlands #1 along with a few other Image comics.

The comic has a Wizard logo on the bottom right, but other than that it is the exact as the regular #1. Is it the same as the #1 ??

Or is it a missing issue worth a different amount?? :unsure:

I looked at the varients but none looked like this one, it has a $25 price tag on it. So did I get a diamond in the rough or is it not worth the $3 for a mint #1 the guide has listed??

Anyone reading Halloween: Nightdance?

The Shape — Sun, 18 May 2008 11:13:17 GMT

What's the deal with FX? Why does it exist? Totally lame, but not in a good "retro" way.

The Goon,(spoiler's possible)

WOLFEN — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:13:35 GMT

Ok..so I've been reading the Goon since nbr 1, and have to say, I think I'm liking the turn Powel is taking with the story line.

The Labrazio Zombie was a monkey in the wrench alright, especially when the G-man found what he did in the unmarked grave..and them using the Zombie priest for piniata was a hoot..

I'm thinking that the story and series can only get better from here..

Dynamo 5

WOLFEN — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:11:48 GMT

Is anyone else reading this?
Damn good storytelling...The art is good, Characters are in that WTF stage, as far as working together, but its a good story all in all..
I picked up the trade, and went from there.

Image did a good job with this one, Five illegitimate children of the late Captain Dynamo, each inheriting one of his powers, pulled together by his widow to protect the residents of Tower City.
Got some pretty good Villains in it too, and the prerequesite "shadow government organization"

Some stuff is par for the course, but the writing is solid, and the art is very good.

I actually read this at issue #10, it was suggested to me by my shop guy, and I was hooked.

It indeed seems to be coming along. The building of villains like Bonechill and others into a team to take on the kids, not to mention their own problems of keeping the id's secret, and the conflict with the Widow of the late Capt. Dynamo, who also happens to be their boss..its a good read..just straight up fun..

From the Dark Horse panel at NYCC:

[quote]Other webcomics that will reach print this year from Dark Horse include Basic Instructions, Nothing Nice to Say and the first six months of Dark Horse Presents on MySpace. DHP generated a nice round of applause, prompting Atkins to acknowledge, “It’s a lot of comics.” DHP vol. 1 arrives in stores in September.[/quote]

Still can't stand webcomics, I needs a book in my hands. Thanks Dark Horse! Now if only something would be said regarding some new Aliens or Predator, or Aliens vs Predator comics.....

Who's collecting BONE?

Set 0ne — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 08:14:03 GMT

Who's collecting the series BONE....Or who as the series already?

I opted to buy the TRADE of this wonderful story....I've seen the Hardback and just drool over it. I however recommend getting all the mini trades (i guess you can call it) than the compacted trade all in one...Why? Simple..The big trade isn't in colour and the drawings have been condensed down...And in those matters I think it loses something special.

So what is BONE exactly? I've always thought of him like a strange ghost but real...I've yet to read through the series completely.

1/2 issues, by wizard or any indy

bravoway — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 21:57:02 GMT

I posted a similar topic in moderns originally. Along with DC and Marvel there were quite a few other publishers that have 1/2 issues as well. The list is still under the thread in moderns--won't recopy it, but would appreciate if anyone has a 1/2 I'm missing on the list to post it as a reply. Also does anyone else collect just the 1/2s or only as part of a run?

[quote]

I'm currently still collecting silver and bronze, but to fill the times when my budget is low I've taken to collecting these 1/2 moderns started by wizard mag. They're not usually a full length comic but the cover art is cool and spans a wide variety of comics---including some i normally wouldn't collect. Pulled from cpg's guide,ebay, and the internet---I was wondering if i missed any issues that had the 1/2 number. I didn't want to include ace or 0 editions. just the 1/2's. The number in front is the issue in which wizard gave their version away and/or the publishers version corresponded to.

True Story,Swear to God

ZombiesAteMyBrain — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:48:33 GMT

I heard Tom Beland,creator of True Story,Swear to God on a podcast recently make the comment that the book has about 1400 readers.This was really disheartening,as this is one of my favorite books to read every month.

It's not something that's going to ever increase in value, or make a great addition in your collection someday, but if you want to read a wonderfully written, heartfelt romantic dramedy, please give this book a try.

I found his website for anyone that wants to check it out.Unfortunately, there are no real previews or anything, but you can at least get a look at the art style. I realize it won't be for everyone, but I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there that would really enjoy this book if they gave it a chance.:)

The Boys #17

Icebreaka — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 08:49:58 GMT

I don't know why, I can't quite place it, but for some reason I'm finding The Boys is slipping down the must read pile of my monthly pickups. I loved the thing and still do love the dialogue in it but the whole Vice President Veicht thing isn't working for me. I like the Hughie hook up thing but seriously, have Garth Ennis been with many women? You don't get to eat them out when they are on the rag, and you also don't not notice if that's the case.

Sorry if that's kind of gross but really we're all adults here.

I want to like this series more than I actually have since the Russia arc. There's some good Ennis shock/gore value but beyond that I'm yawning my way through. Not sure what Mother's Milk (The Black Dude) was on about puking in the car and being scared of his mother.

Who else is a loyal reader?

Grendel: Behold the Devil #5

Icebreaka — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:16:12 GMT

God I wish this wasn't only an 8 issue run. This has got to be hands down the best Grendel story I've read since the 80s. I'll admit the whole demon chasing him thing and the rasta voodoo guy could be seen as a bit contrived but the tone and the feel along with the many layers of characters are making this for me. The reporter and the cop feel like very real characters that I can empathize with. How many boardies are reading this one?

Shouldn't this be down with Marvel and DC?

Remote_kill — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:17:59 GMT

I thought there wasn't a place for Image comics..then i find its not in the same area as Marvel and DC and all the other publishers and all..

Just think it should be. A little confusing.
