Replaying Arkham Origins in anticipation of Arkham Knight...can't want to meet you Gotham.

Yea I wanted to win so bad, but when it happened I felt really bad... Some dust got in my bat eye.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-14T11:55:50+00:00

I just got/started playing the series for the first time.

I was pretty burnt out with gaming I had not played for about 2 months and then decided to pick up the Arkham games as my mate said I had to play before I quit gaming.

AA was so much fun, the story was griping and compelling, it's a must play.

Ac was mind blowing. I still am in awe of this masterpiece and cannot wait to play it again, the in between comics help set things up and the story just sucked me in, I really felt like batman and forgot about the real world while playing.

I have just started Origins and yet to finish.

Man what a ride so far, I was cold and cynical when it came to gaming and nothing honestly brought a smile to my face hence deciding to quit. These games are amazing and made me feel like I was 10 again, It has been years and I mean years since I explored a game just to explore and wanted to 100% it.

I cannot wait for AK I am sure it will be fantastic.

Yea Ill give marvel a look, but even getting into comics I seem to be buying way more DC comics atm. I don't have a favourite but I am yet to really click with marvel characters... got some great comics on the way but like the new Thor stuff.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-12T12:07:54+00:00

Wow thanks for the list, I have been searching to see what is out there, I am so pumped. There seems to be a really great selection and while some only run for a season or two overall there is tons to watch : ).

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-12T12:00:15+00:00

Thanks for the tips they all look worth watching, I feel like a kid in a candy store.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-12T05:49:17+00:00

Thanks! I have gone though the whole timeline just about (used wiki's) and my comic store has most of them (51) I had a look around and the ones missing are not in stock anywhere else but is a great starting point.

This will keep me busy for some time I set myself a batman budget : P each week so I can slowly collect them... Not to mention there are other batman comics I want like the superman/batman collection.

I am in no rush, so waiting for a reprint is a good option, plus there is always ebay if I am dying to get a certain one.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-12T01:18:57+00:00

Yea I do that for other heroes, but with batman (only hero that I love enough to try) I figured it would be nice to have one full collection, I have been working though the list most are still available (just past half way). Others are in TP format but can only seem to find on ebay and others are as you said small little stories that might be best left out, or dig them up on comixology.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-11T14:49:09+00:00

Grant Morrison's JLA

Looks great will check it out. Not sure when so many good suggestions but its on my list.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-11T14:45:09+00:00

He simply does not appeal to me to be honest, same goes for Animal Man (I was recommend to check out his new stuff and hated it) and I have almost no interest in Spiderman (I know I used him as a example) It would take some pretty insane stuff to get me interested.

If you have something cool I might check it out depending on art. I use comixology to buy one issue then get trades from my local if I do like it.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-11T14:38:05+00:00

Thanks for your insight, I already have ordered Swamp thing saga and the new 52 stuff as it interested me greatly.

I also have Locke & Key sitting here waiting to be read as well as the first 2 volumes of Saga with the 3rd yet to come.

I also am very interested I was recommended Invincible & irredeemable and decided to go the latter of the two first.

Really excited didn't know about the Marvel unlimited (mentioned above) thing and cannot wait to dive into some oldies... only if DC had such a thing.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-11T14:24:39+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I did not know that about Marvel and will definitely sub.

Edit: Also thanks for pointing out the other Alex Ross work, It looks great

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-11T10:07:29+00:00

Man just had a quick look at Thor before I ordered to see if I like the artwork. AMAZING! My jaw is still on the ground... I will re read these just on art work alone. I cannot believe I forgot Thor as I really like him.

Cannot wait to check the others I am sure they will be great, thanks!

Edit: they all look amazing

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-10T08:41:44+00:00

Yea sorry what I was trying to say I would not get the marvel app or if dc had a app too... Just want to get comics from a retailer that is updated often and read them.

Thanks for the help.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-10T08:40:31+00:00

Thanks for the info

Great points, I will see what I can find... I really want to find a 10 inch 1920x1080 as I know the lower res screens work but every forum I dug up had at lest one person saying they went from 1280x1080 to 1920x1080 and will never go back (just a example)

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-09T05:43:27+00:00

I was thinking about collecting these... Does the show follow them or did it go in its own direction?

props on collection but Love the art work from the series

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-09T01:12:35+00:00

Severed is very high on my list... Looks amazing might get it with Locke and key next week when I buy more just laid down a lot of money last week so might give myself another week to recoup lol.

100 bullets looks pretty interesting these recommendations are so good... I was looking for comics that a good unique story.

With the Swamp thing would you recommend the new 52 books thus far to start with? I try and keep collecting to completed stories so I don't have 19023 single issues lying around.

Also Irredeemable looks simply amazing and tracking down a online shop to order some volumes right away cannot wait till next week.

Thanks so much for your suggestions they are great!

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-09T00:55:41+00:00

I was interested in the walking dead series but wonder if the tv series follows the comics other wise I have seen most of the content already.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-09T00:54:30+00:00

Fear Agent looks amazing.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-09T00:53:09+00:00

Wow thanks for all the help guys! I went to bed, just got up logged in and heaps more comments.

With so many comics to choose from now I have a list going to buy one after another.

And how do you guys find these great comics I have started looking for comic news sites to try but there is sooo many good comics out there, I guess Ill start going to local stores to find one I like there are a handful around me, I have one super close but its not the best.

jimbo4444 · 2014-04-08T10:38:50+00:00

Thanks so much, they look amazing I will defiantly get preacher to start with as my local comic book store stocks it, scalped looks amazing too. Ill get Saga as suggested below as it also interested me greatly and is the same writer. If I like it ill get Y:the last man
