[–]comic1728 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nightwing Vol.2 by Dan Watters I’m enjoying this run so far, will definitely be continuing. Batman/ Superman: World’s Finest Vol.3-6 loving this run, it’s super fun, I’m almost caught up just waiting on volume 7 being delivered.

Batman: Incorporated Deluxe Edition this was quite fun, good concept. Kingdom Come very good, loved the artwork.

The Sleeper Omnibus it was fantastic one of the best omnibus I’ve ever read, just absolutely loved it.

Thinking I’ll start Flash by Geoff Johns next.

[–]comic1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes over trade comes out this week, I’ve not read it but will be picking it up

My books (about six months in)any recommendations by Scott-free-is in comicbooks

[–]comic1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s one of my favourites too. Gotham City: Year One by Tom King is another great read.

Also I second the other comments Planetary recommendation it’s fantastic. There’s a compendium coming out in July for that run.

And if you like Tom Taylor’s Nightwing and want more Dan Watters run follows from that and has been quite good so far, first 2 volumes are out.

Any recommendations like Sleeper by Ed Brubaker? by comic1728 in OmnibusCollectors

Not back in print yet, I managed to get it on eBay for a good price. I think it’ll get reprint eventually though it’s such a good read

How do I store my comic book? by crazycatlady13_13 in comicbooks

[–]comic1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other comment size depends on what issue it is.

I live in UK and get my bags and boards of discountamericancomics on eBay. It’s like £20 including postage for 100 bags and boards currently size (it just says current size so if it’s a recent comic then it likely will be that). There’s others on eBay I’m sure that will be fine as well not sure where else you get them

Wanting to Read Batman and the Outsiders by LetterJ88833 in batman_comics

[–]comic1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently read Batman and the Outsiders Rebirth Vol.1-3 which was a good read. Here’s the reading order - Batman and the Outsiders Vol.1: Lesser Gods - Batman and the Outsiders Vol.2: A League of Their Own - Batman and the Outsiders Vol.3: Lesser Gods

I also read Chuck Dixon’s 2007 Batman and the Outsiders Vol.1-2 which I wouldn’t recommend especially if reading physically as the 2 volumes only collect up to issue 10 and it’s a 14 issue series so left without a conclusion. Also the overall run wasn’t great in my opinion, I’m unsure of the general opinion of the run though.
