So, what are you buying?

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Tue Sep 03, 2002 1:39 am

Hey, just thought I'd see how our pull lists stack up. Here's me for the last few months:

Marvel: Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Cap. America, FF, Iron Man, Thor, Avengers, Thunderbolts, Daredevil, Elektra, Punisher, Incredible Hulk (so good lately, sooooo goooood!!!). Ive always been a marvel fanboy.

Wildstorm: The Authority, Planetary (dead? pretty damned close, Ellis), WildCATS. I haven't kept up with WildCATS since about issue 10. I won't be getting the relaunch.

Other: Transformers and GIJoe relaunches, WarLands, Rising Stars, Midnight Nation, Top10, Battle Chasers.

DC: BatMan: DK2, and Ill be getting the Jim Lee/Jeph Loeb issues of BatMan slated for the fall. Won't you?

I can't remember anything else, other than Leave it to Chance and Astro City which haven't seen new issues in so long I think they must be done for...pity, as both were top notch.

How 'bout you?

Marvel: New X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Cap. America, (the new Marvel Knights run... amazing!) FF, (just started with the new creative team - i'm psyched to LIKE the ff!!!) Daredevil, (I love Alex Maleev's art... going to experiment with something similar, soon...) Elektra, Punisher, Alias, the Ultimates (THE best super hero book being put out right now... and that's saying a lot...)

Wildstorm: meh... oh, except for the thundercats relaunch - that's under wildstorm, right?

Other: SAVAGE DRAGON!!! 100th issue out this week!!! Powers (Bendis is awesome!) Transformers and GIJoe relaunches, Rising Stars, Battle Chasers (this is still alive???) Amelia Rules - really cute and well written.

DC: BatMan: DK2, "and Ill be getting the Jim Lee/Jeph Loeb issues of BatMan slated for the fall. Won't you?" - maybe...

Astro City was awesome... i don't know what's happened with that...

I think the death of Astro City was related to Kurt Busiek's health - he pissed off quite a few people when he said something to the effect of "It doesn't take the same brain power to write the Avengers as it does Astro City" when someone asked why one book was coming and the other was late. Ouch..... I sure hope it picks up again. I would love to have more new Leave it to Chance stories for my daughter to see in a few more years, they were as good as Harry Potter in my opinion. Beautiful pencils by another old X-Favorite - Paul Smith.

i've not read anything in years--but i recently got hooked on the new gijoe

i've been buying transformers: generation 1--but it's a sad little joke--excellent art and no story whatsoever--i keep getting it because i like the art--and i'm curious if the hack writer can possibly redeem this series after what he pulled with GRIMLOCK

Jedi Knightrider 3000 · Wed Sep 04, 2002 5:35 pm

the new gijoe is awesome! what have you read up to?

i see what you mean about the new transformers... except, what is everyone talking about with the "grimlock" thing... did i miss something? what did they do to him?

I think Grimlock is a Decepticon now. i haven't picked up any of the series but i flipped thru one. It IS sparse in the writing dept.

What am I buying right now?

NOTHING! HA HA!

Actually, I'm picking up the new G.I.Joe (like El anarky [;)]) and that's it. It's good enough that i went back and started reading the old series straight through. I'm up to issue #91.

My old pull list looked like an inventory sheet from Diamond Distibution. Everything Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, and quite a few independents as well. Then I got fed up with the whole Spider-Clone/Onslaught debacle at Marvel and gave up collecting EVERYTHING.

My parents basement has 60+ long boxes with over 20,000 back issues.

Hey, just checking in to say I did score the first two issues of Loeb and Lee Batman (608, 609). It's good, go get 'em. I don't read DC very often and had no problem jumping in here whatsoever.

Im also picking up "Truth" (Marvel's "Black Cap" story), the new Kevin Smith Daredevil and Bullseye set, Spider Man Blue by Loeb and Sale (everything by Loeb and Sale is worth the money).

Big News - there is a new 5 issue Astro City story by Kurt Busiek coming in February, very exciting. This book has been as good as it gets, and has been gone to long. Everyone hurry out to buy this so he knows we want more. You'll love it.

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 5:11 am

yeah, I picked up batman, too. Can't go wrong with Jim Lee drawing pretty pictures of Batman (and Catwoman....rrrrowwl.)

I just looked through previews for Feb. the figures for "Kingdom Come" look really great. I think they'll probably be too expensive, however. I've asked my retailer to check.

Double post (need the stats) EP, if you're ever in the mood to move 80's super hero Marvels, let me know. Ill swing you a good deal for runs of books. FF, Avengers, Hulk, Spidey, etc. Super Spam, postpadding....guilty. Sorry.

you really don't have to worry too much about that... however, you should worry whether your message gets read at all... seems this place is more dead than ever... that sucks. oh, well, whatchogonnado?

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 2:36 am

Your gonna post....

jjreason · Post by **jjreason** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 2:38 am

...pad like me!!!

Vyn, have you peeped the GIJoe Frontlines book by Larry Hama? Im going to read #1 and #2 tonight as soon as Im finished the 10-12 issues of the new GIJoe main title. Larry Hama kicks ass, so this should be pretty good. Ill be back with a review.

Post by **vynsane** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 6:57 pm

no, i haven't gotten it... is it a limited, or ongoing? if it's limited, at this point i'll wait til they collect it in a TPB... the main title is really cool...
