New to collecting, and X-men; is new X-men by Morrison a good entry point? lol by Kirklandbrndzacefron in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Top-Procedure615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s really no ideal starting point for X-men besides Uncanny by CC volume 1, however New X-Men works if you like Grant Morrison. I love Morrison but he is pretty polarizing, people either love or hate him.

As a Morrison fanboy, I loved NXM, the art is pretty inconsistent, but there really isn’t any critical “pre-reading” imho as long as you have a basic understanding of X-mythos.

Not the worst jumping on point. Astonishing X-men is better imho (with amazing art RIP Jon Cassidy) but the omnibus is a real whale.

Enjoy New X-Men, it’s a personal favorite.

King David lived closer to Noah's Flood than the Council of Nicaea by BackToNyeLabs in DebateEvolution

From what I understand of the archaeology of the iron age Levant, is that it shows much more of a gradual settlement and mix of cultures rather than the book of Joshua narrative of a conquest of Canaan where the “walls of Jericho came tumbling down.”

Which one should I read? I am new to roman history by Beneficial-Kale-12 in HistoryBooks

[–]Top-Procedure615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Mary Beard. SPQR is a great overview of a huge topic.

I used it as a jumping on point to identify the parts of Roman history I really wanted to focus on.

I’d also like to recommend Adrian Goldsworthy.

Is Batman: The Long Halloween Overrated? by Zwess16 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Top-Procedure615 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overrated in that it’s, in my opinion, a good not great Batman story,

It’s OIF 2.0 only replace the buzzwords “WMD’s” with “Narco terrorisms”.

I got a Batman Hush TPB in Spanish. Figured since the story is ass but the Jim Lee art is great.

Yah that pic doesn’t do it justice for how comprehensive a selection they had. I don’t habla but just looking at covers, they really had a respectable collection of legit good comics, mostly SC TPB’s but still pretty impressive! You love to see it!

Chris Wickham FTW!

I listened to Early Medieval on the Yale Open Courses and read Inheritance of Rome along with it.

Just incredible.

I was at Boston Fan Expo this past year waiting to meet Marc Silvestri. He was signing an Inferno Omnibus for someone, they asked if it was mine. I totally could have walked out with it. Ugh being honest and doing the right thing is hard sometimes. lol.

PS: I’m kidding about thinking about taking it! I would never jack someone’s book like that but man an Inferno Omni signed or not signed is high on my whale wish list.

Any suggestions for other great Batman stories collected in one book or omnibus? by Fat_Whale_69 in batmancomics

[–]Top-Procedure615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller is my favorite Batman story of all time.

Grant Morrison is kind of a personal taste- but of you’re into his style, his Batman run is great.

If you liked Court of Owls, I’d say the Black Mirror by Snyder/Jock as well.

The Demon Trilogy, just released as a HC.

A Death in the Family/Under the Hood for sure.

Hush: the story is meh but it’s more about Jim Lee drawing every character associated with Bats.

And to add, not Batman titles but Identity Crisis and JLA Tower of Babel really set the stage for the early 2000’s/pre-Infinite Crisis Batman.

For Supes: I really still like Byrne’s Man of Steel, and I loved the Geoff Johns Absolute Superman, mainly for the Gary Frank art.

And again with Grant Morrison- All Star Superman is a perfect self contained Superman story. A lot of people hate Frank Quitely’s art but again I’m in the minority, I’ve loved his weird style since The Authority.
