Thor - Reign of Blood

I think I'm hooked now.

wow... I got my first comic when I was like 10.

I also bought my first comic yesterday.

is this the result of Batman?

more or less working at newbury comics and knowing nothing at all about this stuff.
I like reading these cause I can listen to metal with ease without getting lost, unlike reading most of my non-fiction books.
But yes, I will read Watch Men in a few weeks, as a result of Batman.

definitely read The Walking Dead and Wasteland.

how did you not buy a comic when you were little?

ITS UNPOSSIBLE I TELL YOU

I think the only comics I bought as a kid were Archie's because they were always in the supermarket check out lines

Veronica was a ho

the first comic i bought was very recent too.

i was in harrisons in salem and saw some lovecraft stuff...on that day I bought the sadhu, about an english soldier in victorian india who has his family killed, he becomes a sadhu and seeks revenge.

I've also started to collect the dark tower and hellboy series, awesome stuff.

Actually I think I may have read swamp thing when I was little. I had an action figure and thought it was badass so I'm pretty sure I bought the comic when I learned that it existed.

Fall of Cthulhu is fairly decent, for a lovecraft buff anyways. the first few issues were awesome, then it started to get meh. i still pick it up, so i guess that says something. marvel's got a mini series going on currently, too.

the only comic i ever bought was The Death of Superman. the only ones i've ever read are like 2 Spawn issues, The Death of Superman, and the first few Battle Popes.

Josh! X-Men. all of em. do it.

First comic I ever bought was the opener of "The X-Ecutioner's Song" X-Men storyline way back when. I've since grown out of that stuff, but that had me hooked for years.

First comic I ever owned was an issue of X-Men Classics (reprints of 70s stories) with Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Alpha Flight vs. the Wendigo. First one I ever bought was Fantastic Four #326 (back when Ben Grimm wasn't the Thing for five minutes) vs. the Frightful Four(Titania, Wizard, Hydro-Man, and Klaw) and Dragon Man.

For recent titles, you cannot go wrong with Dark Horse's Conan series - they're directly from the Robert E. Howard stories, with some new stuff added in between to link them together. AWESOME.

I honestly can't remember the comics I got in the 80s. I'm going to have to check them out; they're still sitting around somewhere.

I remember having a Nightcrawler one from the early 90s that had his eyes as cardboard cutouts and you could make a mask.

Fucking unloaded on a bunch of Thor's today. I'm trying to track down DEAD WORLD too. Really want to do the Dark Tower next.
What's a good X-Men to start with? I get confused with all these series and shit.

cant go wrong with uncanny.

my first was a star wars one. that was back in 1980.
after that a GIJOe and a Transformers one... and then an xman one. either this one

or this one
http://apps.facebook.com/comicbooks/editions/uncanny-x-men-1981-187
but then I got into xmen in a major way in issue 233 or 237.

the stand comic starts next month cant wait and walking dead is one of the best since seeing watchmen trailer ive been all about that comic again so good, and if inspired by batman then go with Frank Millers work or Alan Moores The killing joke

get the first dark tower in trade. second series was meh, but you can get them at cover price. third series starts in a few months.
as for x-men, get the most recent Astonishing X-Men. warren ellis just took it over, and it's gonna be phenomenal. and read the Walking Dead dammit.

astonishing x-men starting at #25

how can you not read this?

Preacher

It's a series of 9 graphic novels about a man who inherits the power of god's voice. Throw in a hillbilly that cuts open live fish and fucks them, a deformed suicide survivor (kurt cobain wannabe) named arseface, a gun toting girlfriend, and a really fucked up and abusive family. I can't even begin to describe this shit.

I would highly recommend this to anyone!

I forgot the drunk/addict irish vampire.

Also, the final genetic descendant of Christ, an inbred retard that spends his time turning gasoline into wine and getting wasted.

backed. my absolute favorite series ever. read anything by Garth Ennis.

Double bock'd.

SRSLY, Uncanny X-Men is the original book - just get the absolute oldest / earliest trade paperback you can find, and go from there. Late 70s to early 80s is my favorite shit, personally. Before there were 10 books to follow and everybody had already died and "got better" twice.

I have 5 500 comic boxes full of that stuff.
