im kinda outta comics mainstream at the moment, but do like punisher max, wolverine...although its been mostly crap since greg land left, i think that was his name anyway. i like star wars legacy. frank millers batman. i used to love the x men but they have been horrible for quite sometime.



marine. ive seen your post about your comic collection before, thats really a great start, when i had my collection i could never part to send them off for grading either. howeer, not to be a jinx, but get all your issues recorded somewho and put on cd keep one give one to a family member and maybe put 1 in a saftey deposit box, update it often. get plenty of insurance, i think they offer a type geared towards comics, i saw it in wizard magazine. the reason i say this is you never kow what will happen. i lost about 125k dollars in my very extensive comic collection in hurricane katrina. other than the money lost thats just plain painful, its alos one reason i havent got back into collecting. so take it from me secure your investments sir!

Berserk, Claymore, K Hitman Reborn are my current manga faves.

I'm still keeping up with the Naruto manga.

I do like the Ultimate Spiderman series but have no means to afford it. So I just read it off and on in the bookstores.

Anything by Alan Moore, but especially his Swamp Thing run which has (thank god) been collected in trade paperback format by DC/Vertigo. The first 2 trades are absolute bliss, probably my favorite comics ever. I highly recommend them, especially if you enjoy romantic horror.

I read so many comics it's ridiculous. Most of mine seem to be webcomics, but others I read (in no particular order) are:

Bone. The brilliant comic/graphic novel has simply blown my mind. If I only had one comic to bring with me on a desert island, it would be Bone. It has never bored me yet, and I've read through most of it about five or six times.

The Punisher. I'm talking the series when it ran from the '80s to the early '90s. I grew up reading them and have always loved the character of Frank Castle.

Golgo 13. I only started reading the English translations of this long-running Japanese manga recently, but I'm already hooked and even bought the first movie after reading some of the Viz manga.

The Gunsmith Cats. I haven't read enough of this manga, but I love it already, even though it's almost impossible to find where I live.

Tintin. I grew up with this stuff. It's pure adventure, and family-friendly to boot! And it's just as fun today as it was for me thirteen years ago.

I read a lot more, but those are my all-time favorites.
A Roll of the Dice now with full-size pages!

John Clyde now with ten times the tacky Hawaiian shirts!

Pearls before Swine, it's snarky and has alligators. Can't go wrong with alligators..

XD I love those alligators and their obsession with catching Zeebas.

I used to read The Boondocks when it still ran in the LA Times. But now I don't. I read 9 Chickweed Lane though. ^_^
