I used to really dig comics when I was younger.
I have Spawn 1-70ish, a bunch of early 80s - mid 90s X-Men, a lot of early 70s Spider Man as well as a whole lot of Aliens, Predator and AVP comics. I think I even have some Lady Death somewhere. :stongue:
I got into graphic novels a lot more though - I liked the feel of a good, large book in my hands more than a comic - plus, I never collected them for their value (though I have some that are worth a lot, especially some of the Spider Man first-appearance ones), I collected them for the artwork and (some) for the story.
I never got into X-Men or Spider Man as far as story goes - they were too super for my tastes and too melodramatic. Though I did really like Psylocke - but then again, who doesn't like scantily-clad ninja babes with telekinetic powers when they are 9? I loved the storyline of Spawn though and I loved the artwork even more. I really got into the Aliens comics though - especially Nightmare Asylum. I had the graphic novel version of Nightmare Asylum and I wore that thing out reading it so many times - it was fully painted and was written after the second movie but before the third movie was made, so it seems almost like an alternate reality. Very cool stuff. |

So I went to Toronto Comicon today and grabbed the first 6 issues of The Maxx, Batman: The Killing Joke (apparently really hard to get right now, and also, according to Wizard mag geeks, the best Joker story evar), the whole series of Batman: Dark Victory, Frank Miller's 'The Dark Knight Strikes Again', and a couple issues of Marvel Zombies.
YEAH!! |
