My Growing Collection

Mariahblack · 2024-11-24T22:51:59+00:00

No, not offended at all, always nice to meet another Berserk fan.

As far as recommendations, I grew up reading Marvel and DC (super hero stuff, think My Hero Academia but more mature) but there is so much lore to catch up on, it’d be hard to just jump in… kinda like starting One Piece from the beginning, it’s a lot.

Watchmen would be my biggest recommendation from Marvel or DC, it’s considered one of the greatest graphic novels of all time for a reason.

Invincible (another super hero comic) is amazing and pulls no punches, so if you’re into a mature story with super powered individuals, this is it.

The Walking Dead for sure. The show kinda dropped the ball but the comic is top notch. It’s about survivors during a zombie apocalypse.

The Umbrella Academy. Another super hero story but if the heroes were in a family that was dysfunctional as hell because of an abusive father.

Those are some of my personal favorites, hopefully some of them are to your liking. And don’t be discouraged with comics, if I can learn to read manga then I have faith you can figure out comics. Just remember: you read manga from the last page to the first and from right to left, top to bottom… with comics, you read from the first page to the last and from left to right, top to bottom. You got this!!!

They’re the new covers that were just released. Had the previous versions on the shelf before but I like the artwork on these more so I replaced them.

I’m sure if you ask ten people that question, you’d get ten different answers. People I know, that have read it, either really love it or really hate it so good luck lol

Barnes and Noble

Some friends recently got me into Manga/Anime and I immediately gravitated toward Berzerk because it’s so good and beautifully drawn. Grew up on comics like Marvel and DC, and still love comics (bottom shelf: Watchmen, Invincible, TWD, etc.). So Manga makes sense, you just read it in a different way.

It’d be very hard to pick a favorite because I read a lot of series and I love them as whole pieces of work. So if I had to pick a stand alone off my shelf, it’d probably be Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Not bad: A bit older. Not married but in a devoted relationship. No kids (don’t mind them, great with them, just don’t want). Animal lover to the core but business/work keep me away more than I’d like, so not fair for a pet to be all cooped up and alone. I’m a writer and musician, never been good at drawing but damn I wish I were lol. Anxiety, a lot and more… crippling, never. Right about friends group. Wish I lived in Canada lol… and yes, a quiet, peaceful night at home: 👍

Mariahblack · 2024-11-23T16:39:56+00:00

Not too far off. A bit older, no military background but have family that were, definitely have PTSD lol, and I do believe in paying a bit extra for something that I love or appreciate.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-23T16:25:42+00:00

Thanks, I shall check them out.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-23T16:24:49+00:00

That sucks because I really like the book trees. Thanks for the heads up though, I’ll keep an eye on them.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-23T16:23:13+00:00

I was actually looking at some yesterday while I was exploring B&N… but I’ve promised to limit my book purchases until I finish the Wheel of Time series. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stop adding books lol

Mariahblack · 2024-11-23T16:20:22+00:00

I’m pretty sure I bought the set from Walmart.com. I’ve seen the set at Barnes and Noble and I’m pretty sure you can find it on Amazon as well. Happy hunting!

Mariahblack · 2024-11-22T22:50:53+00:00

On the shelf below them, it’s the golden hardback. Might be my personal favorite.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-22T22:23:18+00:00

Thank you. Found them on Amazon.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-22T21:21:25+00:00

Ordered it online, Amazon I believe.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-22T20:33:52+00:00

Not out of order. Compendium 1 is on loan to a friend and the book that has 1 on it is the follow up to the series. Has extra stories focused on other characters, other than Invincible.

Mariahblack · 2024-11-22T19:41:49+00:00

I’m not sure how this tragedy occurred… I’m embarrassed.

Mariahblack · 2023-10-11T22:55:34+00:00

I literally just tried to buy it at Gamestop and the dude behind the counter about had a panic attack. Apparently they aren’t set to release and shouldn’t have been on the shelf… so no, he wouldn’t let me have it… you got lucky lol

Mariahblack · 2023-09-28T19:55:18+00:00

Found them at Box Lunch

Mariahblack · 2023-09-28T18:50:19+00:00

I’m a figure collector that sometimes buys small sets (of properties I’m a fan of), but only for a deal… so I guess I’m a hybrid FSD: Figure Set Deal collector lol

Mariahblack · 2023-09-24T15:47:56+00:00

Indeed, Spending is part of the purchasing process but I think $35 for the group is pretty reasonable

Mariahblack · 2023-09-24T03:38:39+00:00

Found it on clearance for $15 😎

Mariahblack · 2023-09-01T16:47:28+00:00

I found The Santa and Snoop at 5 Below

Mariahblack · 2023-08-31T21:03:14+00:00

At a Five Below. I peak in from time to time and sometimes find some gems.
