talk about them, post some of your favorite issues, story lines, wants, new stuff. etc.

Dave - 7-5-2007 at 08:52 PM

Things i've been enoying as of late........

The Spirit - i'm loving this book, it's fun, Darwyn Cooke's art and writing is perfect for this classic title.

The Walking Dead - this book has been pretty solid for the whole run, ZOMBIES!!!!!

Catwoman - i love this title, since it started.

The Lone Ranger - yup the lone ranger, gritty western about the masked man.

I stopped buying them years ago, but have picked some up over the last couple of years. Best thing I got was a six issue series by Mark Milar called "Wanted." Sooooooooooooo good.

haven't touched 'em in YEARS, but i have fond memories of:











DaveMoral - 7-5-2007 at 09:42 PM

For the last good number of years I've only been reading Star Wars comics from Dark Horse. Great stuff going on there now.

We've got Knights of the Old Republic... sort of a spin-off of the Xbox and PC games of the same names and some comics from about 15 years ago called Tales of the Jedi... set a few years before the first game takes place and 50 years after the last TOTJ comic. It's set 4,000 years before the movies. There's a bumbling Jedi padawan(apprentice) that's been framed for murdering fellow padawans by their own Jedi Masters. So he's on the run, plus there's the back drop storyline that features a hooded Jedi who is more than likely the main character of the first KOTOR video game. There's an entire army of Mandalorian warriors fighting against the Republic, these are the guys that Jango and Boba Fett descend from. And there's the ominous vision of a resurgence of Sith, this was seen by the Jedi Masters who framed the previously mentioned bumbling padawan. It's great fun. Artwork is amazing, especially when it's Brian Ching on the pencils.

Then there's Legacy. What a great comic. Takes place 140 years after Return of the Jedi, and we've got a whole new Skywalker. He's no Luke Skywalker and he's not really like Anakin either. He's sort of what Luke might have been had he turned out like Han Solo and become a drug addict. There's a whole new army of Sith, a new Empire that's taken over the Republic and a new Sith Emperor. Cade Skywalker, the bounty hunter drug addict, isn't being a Jedi because they are again scattered and he's running away from being his family's heritage. Part of the reason he drugs up is that he gets visitations by Luke Obi-Wan style... all ghosty. John Ostrander writes it, and Jan Duursema pencils the major story arcs. Great artwork there too. Oh and the new Empire is divided because there was a previously pretty good Emperor who is a fully trained Jedi that was deposed by the Sith. He acts like a rebel and he's got a few Imperial Knights(Jedi who obey the Emperor first, the Force second) and Imperial military that backs him. The remnants of the Republic are out there too doing the same sort of thing.

yep, it's been in the rumor mill for some time and it looks like it actually might happen.

i just hope they don't fuck it up.

Dave - 7-5-2007 at 11:00 PM

Dynamo 5 - shit i forgot about this one too, great new book its only on issue #5 right now, its about a womanizing superhero, who is found dead in a hotel room, his wife (ex-gov' agent) finds his little black book and does some research and finds out that he has 5 kids with 5 different women, she finds them all, activates their powers (from some radiation or something) and now they are a team, of strangers whom are all siblings.
its a good take on a super team, each of them getting used to each other and exploring their powers.

worth checking out for sure.

If you like the Punisher and have never read the Barracuda storyline from last year, you're missing a classic.

DeathByForce - 7-6-2007 at 04:03 PM



my favourite comic at the moment. super funny and super violent.

BDx13 - 7-6-2007 at 04:38 PM

JawnDiablo - 7-6-2007 at 10:40 PM

fuck how could i have forgotten the "GOON", Eric Powell's art is amazing.

have you read the "Satan's Sodomy baby" One shot?

funny as hell, if you haven't you have to track down a copy and give that a read for sure

Muttley - 7-6-2007 at 11:47 PM

"Satan's Sodomy Baby" was fuckin twisted.

juandiablo: you're not the only one who liked that Punisher flick. I loved it. MOst people don't realize how much of that shit came straight from the comics when Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon (the Preacher team) took over.

Speaking of Garth Ennis, you guys should check out THE BOYS... sick comic. Lots of superhero orgies, drug use, gore, and stuff like this...

Dave - 7-7-2007 at 08:38 AM

i read the first issue of the boys, not sure why i did keep on reading it...........

DaveMoral - 7-7-2007 at 10:28 AM

Anyone check out Wolverine Origins??? That was great. Reveals his full backstory finally after 30 years of Wolvie. Just great, all the way back to when he was a kid and his healing factor and claws and feral senses start kicking in.

Dave - 7-7-2007 at 11:39 AM

i read that first origin mini series it was really good, really well done.

DaveMoral - 7-7-2007 at 11:54 AM

Yeah, the second one is kind of weak...but the first was great. I have the trade paperback.

Me too. Might have to track down a copy.

Dave - 7-7-2007 at 10:16 PM

check your local comics shop the trade is always available, if the issues can't be found.

good read tho, and the art is fitting for it also

DaveMoral - 7-8-2007 at 02:12 AM

The art is great. It's Adam Kubert if I remember correct. His art is way better with the new coloring methods. Back in the day with the old school coloring system it seemed more sloppy.

morgan - 7-8-2007 at 02:58 AM

The Punisher has been the only comic I've followed. The Cell was my favorite story arc.

Dave - 7-8-2007 at 06:43 AM

i never got into the punisher, for whatever reason.
although someday i'll have to buy his first appearance, to finish my spider-man collection

DaveMoral - 7-8-2007 at 08:12 AM

I have this Punisher holiday special that was published around the time of the first Gulf War... it's got Frank busting up some dudes from "Irate." Silly shit.

Six66Mike - 7-8-2007 at 11:57 AM

I used to read Nothing Nice To Say online all the time, funny shit.

Dave - 7-8-2007 at 04:57 PM

MyOwnWay - 7-14-2007 at 11:55 AM

I heard there was at one point a comic book of Pac-Man. Can someone confirm this, and if so send me the series?

Ok, thanks.

And Mike, after doing some research I can say that there is nothing to confirm a Pac Man comic book.

DaveMoral - 7-14-2007 at 12:41 PM

Pheonix Saga is still the best X-Men story told. Days of Future Past was great. I think they did a pretty good job of crossing those over into the 90's X-Men cartoon even with more modern characters like Gambit and Rogue and what not.

Dave - 7-14-2007 at 01:42 PM

nice issue Davemoral, i love silver age comics.

i'll post some of mine later, its sunny today i'm going out to wash my car. :P

Wow! Looking forward to this!

Done by the guys that did Batman The Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series and the Justice League stuff. I've been wanting some sort of adaptation of the Death of Superman forever. This is going to be GREAT!

Hoping to see a Batman Knightfall adaptation sometime, too bad Bruce Timm used Bane to little effect in Batman TAS already...

Dave - 7-15-2007 at 06:47 AM

the trailer looks awesome!
i didnt know they were working on more animated movies.

now we just need another batman TAS movie.............

DaveMoral - 7-15-2007 at 08:22 AM

Yeah, Batman TAS needs to be Knightfall... seriously. The whole storyline. Knightfall, Knightquest etc.

Apparently they are planning an animated straight to DVD feature set between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

You ever check out superherohype.com ?

Dave - 7-15-2007 at 03:47 PM

no i havent, i am right now.........

thanks

Dave - 7-16-2007 at 09:07 AM

Here are a few of my Golden / Silver age books, i'll post some more later!..........so many more to get!
