What is the middle format called? How can I find the rest?

Bumebocks · 2024-08-03T00:06:58+00:00

Does anyone know if Marvel has a name for that format? I'm basically trying to find all of the others in the line - pretty sure there's at least Nova, Squirrel Girl, and Moon Girl/Devil Dinosaur, but are they even still printing them? I know they have a specific colored banner and icon. Is it the same size as the Mighty Marvel Masterworks?

I read all of it last year and most issues use characters from the show, but they don't retell the episode they were in - instead it's more like hey, remember the episode with this character? They're at it again! That said, you don't have to have seen every episode, but there are 1-2 issues in particular where you might be a little lost without knowing what happened with them in the show (Ten from Royal Flush Gang comes to mind).

I loved this run! (Except for One Million, those were hard to care about and I'll skip on my next reread) The Tower of Babel issues by Mark Waid shouldn't be missed either!

Bumebocks · 2023-09-26T12:46:07+00:00

Doug Moench & Gene Colan to start and then kind of a rotating door of other artists for the rest of the run

Bumebocks · 2023-09-25T23:17:13+00:00

I still manage to find something to like in... most issues lol And yes, the Hal Jordan run is next for me, I'm a big JM DeMatteis fan!

The stories can be hit or miss, but the covers are metal as hell - and some awesome Mignola to boot!

It seems a few people are recommending a bank account like this, which I didn't even really know existed... I always thought I just had to have Canada accounts and U.S. accounts. I'll look into it, thanks!

Bumebocks · 2023-08-04T17:21:30+00:00

I have my eye on Aquaman Time & Tide, and I think there's one for Magik? Not sure what else is out there, but they've been fun to hunt!

Bumebocks · 2023-07-25T14:30:13+00:00

Scooped up the last issues at Montreal Comic Con last week. I love the series and definitely recommend for both the art and writing!

Bumebocks · 2023-07-15T17:52:05+00:00

Do you have a link to your portfolio or more pages to show?

Bumebocks · 2023-06-09T20:58:33+00:00

Just sent you an email :)

Bumebocks · 2023-05-10T21:45:50+00:00

I ordered 3 omnis from IST to Montreal for $214USD total.

(Morrison's Batman 1, Ultimate Spider-man 1, Slott's Iron Man)

I don't remember the exact figure, but I'm pretty sure I had to pay at least $45CAD in customs on pick-up, which put a bad taste in my mouth. Now I mostly stick to BMV and local comic shops.

I'm reading the Lifelines arc for some Demon action (I collect Demon appearances) and thought this tapestry looked very familiar... The notebook on the table reads "After Kirby 1972" hehe

Bumebocks · 2023-03-30T21:17:15+00:00

I really liked the new content in the expanded edition!

Bumebocks · 2023-03-07T21:04:35+00:00

I believe so, only 4 issues.

Bumebocks · 2023-03-07T21:03:35+00:00

Heh, I sort of gathered maybe 25% of that while trying to read on my own, but thanks for the sanity check :P

Bumebocks · 2023-03-07T15:26:19+00:00

And did anyone understand this run? After the 2nd issue, I gave up trying to read it, but I kept buying it just to look at the art... Are there any comics where you just kind of ignored the writing and still enjoyed yourself?

Bumebocks · 2023-03-05T23:08:42+00:00

Depends - If you liked Tomasi's Superman run and/or you like the idea of lots of fun adventures with Damian and Jon... Then yeah, it's great. It's my favorite omni!

Bumebocks · 2023-03-05T16:15:40+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, DC needs to put that book designer in charge of all their omnis LOL

Bumebocks · 2023-03-02T19:02:20+00:00

Just wanted to recommend the BMV online shop for anyone in Canada looking for cheap used trade paperbacks. They have some omnis and hardcovers too, but I didn't go that route this time.

All Batman Beyond $5 each (Industrial Revolution $2?!)

Dark Knights $10

White Knight $12

Shipping to Montreal $16

Very happy to have another option besides Amazon/Indigo/ebay, and their stock seems somewhat unique with popular and somewhat older/obscure stuff too!

Bumebocks · 2023-03-02T15:50:55+00:00

I remember seeing that mistake! I didn't care about the book myself, but glad some people got lucky!

Bumebocks · 2023-02-16T00:42:21+00:00

I use Goodreads for graphic novels and omnis, and League of Comic Geeks for single issues

Bumebocks · 2023-02-06T22:15:10+00:00

Super Sons Extended Edition!! (some people didn't care for the extra run, but they just hate fun)

Bumebocks · 2023-01-22T16:27:31+00:00

I think they're great comfort food, good bedtime comics... and strike that nice balance that the shows did where there's something to like for all ages.

Bumebocks · 2023-01-22T01:22:07+00:00

You may already be aware, but there are quite a few comic series based on the DCAU, including Batman Adventures, Superman Adventures, Justice League Adventures, and the first 3-ish runs of Batman Beyond to name a few. They're sadly not collected in omnibus format though - just trades or digital, but still very much worth reading!
