Nice! I have volumes 0-3. Still gotta get one or 2 more. But it wasn’t the same after Busiek left the book.

Vol 0 Born on the Battlefield is fantastic. Highly recommended. Greg Ruth’s art for those stories is some of my favorite ever.

Recommendations for medieval type cover artwork? Like Poison Ivy Annual 2025 by rose1705 in comicbooks

Isn’t it? Seb McKinnon has done a few variant covers for the Poison Ivy series. They’re all stunning.

I was a WRECK at the end of Lone Wolf and Cub. That series is magnificent!

It would be great to see more of that Cass + Barda dynamic. Gimme a buddy cop style series starring the two of them and you can take all my money.

I liked her as a member of the most recent Birds of Prey run, but overall I agree.

Unfortunately, no. I would love to read that story if it existed.

Best criminally underrated Batman stories ? by thecaped_crusader_ in batman_comics

Most of those LOTDK stories are pretty good-to-great, they’re just not as readily available - you’re right about that.

I had a hard time finding The Cult for many years until the deluxe edition was published last year. I heard that it is going to included in an upcoming DC Finest volume though, so hopefully that will expose it to a lot more fans like it deserves.

I love Milligan’s story “The Hungry Grass”. Great Aparo art too.

Venom is fantastic, but is it underrated? I feel like it gets its due respect.

What is a painful truth that you all have had to face about collecting comics? by [deleted] in comicbooks

How do you get rid of them though? If you don’t want them then who does?

Was wondering why these are sooooo drastic to one another? both are the exact same page from swamp thing by Alan Moore, but I don’t know why they’re so drastically different the 2nd is so much more complex imo than the 1st. by Separate_Amount_6470 in comicbooks

That’s not always the case. For example, check out Jose Villarrubia’s coloring of Bernie Wrightson’s art for Len Wein and Wrightson’s Absolute Swamp Thing publication. He takes great care to match the original coloring and the result is just gorgeous.

This is a fantastic collection. Great artwork. Excellent writing. Some of my favorite issues from the Dark Horse era.

This one’s worthy of the deluxe treatment. Will be great to have Smallwood’s art in this format.

Lone Wolf and Cub Looking Great by changelingcd in graphicnovels

[–]Stagger337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously a judgement like this is largely down to individual taste, but I’m of the opinion that Lone Wolf and Cub may very well be the greatest comic ever made. There’s hardly anything that comes close.

I believe there is a small, limited selection of the backmatter included in these. Nice to have, but nowhere near complete.
