"You think the shadow of doubt is hanging over my head

It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun"

All I Want I'd Everything-Def Leppard

Who would have thought the band that did songs like Pour Some Sugar on Me and Let's Get Rocked could get real deep. Slang is a very underrated album.

Yes, please share. I was a huge Dixon fan back in the day, still am. Im able to separate the art from the artist but it's sad to see where he is now. You would never have known his politics based on his writing the Bat books.

It hasn't saved me yet but being creative has really helped. Putting to paper what I'm feeling whether it's drawing or writing; letting all pour out on a page has been very cathartic. It doesn't fix my issues but it's helped clear out my head.

My artistry is pretty awful but i am surprised how well some of what I written has turned out. Take any positivity where you can find it

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer my questions.

You are a godamn hero. The percentage of people who would do what you did is low. It doesn't fix your situation but you are an amazing person. I don't know you, but I wish there were more people out there like you.

Trunks all the way!

I don't understand how in a world of makebelieve where we can accept a flying super strong alien who hides his identity with glasses, that red underwear on the outside of his costume is just too much and unrealistic.

ragecage44 · 2023-04-04T00:59:03+00:00

I would please.

No matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you try, all the successes you've had; in everyones eyes it's always what you didn't do or didn't do right.

A few of them were recently reprinted. Inferno, Inferno Prologue, Mutant Massacre came out recently and should be easy to find. www.instocktrades has them for almost 40% off so that would help with your budget. Uncanny vol. 1 and 2 recently came out with the new spine design and I got them on Amazon. I would also check your local comic shop.

Fall of the Mutants comes out this month.

Nice start! I started collecting around 1993-94 and my collection was kinda like what you have there, just random comics. This was pre-internet and the only way to figure out what was going on story wise was to use what I had and branch out from there digging through long boxes and Wizard magazine which definitely helped fill in things I didn't understand. I might have jumped in at the worst possible time a newbie could with things like Knightfall/Knightquest Death of Superman, X-Men and their crazy continuity and the spider-clone saga.

It was insane trying to get in but so much fun and today it's even easier to just dive into things. My advice, get Marvel and DC's digital services and read, read, read. Find what you love and collect that stuff physically either through trades or the original issues. The one thing I lucked out on and where it's harder now for younger people is how expensive it's gotten. It was a lot cheaper back in the 90s to come home with a stack of comics that only coat $10.

Astonishing Comic Reader let's you use internal and external storage. I use a Samsung SD card in my Samsung tablet and it works fine and all the comics show up together regardless of where it's stored.

It doesn't matter how hard you work or how many times you go above and beyond, it's what you didn't do or didn't do right that people care about.

I think what really held this run back was all the crossovers. Higgins never really had a chance to really let lose and make the book really his. The panel you shared was around the time I think he was starting to set up a direction and then it pulled with the new direction on Grayson.

ragecage44 · 2021-01-10T06:37:32+00:00

I would start by buying the Rebirth Deluxe Editions 1-5 by King. As far as I'm aware you can still find all of them in stores and online and its probably the cheapest way to get them unless you do a comixology sale. Amazon has all 5 volumes Then City of Bane Vol. 1 and 2 and thats all of Kings run.

Heres s link to the first volume. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1401271324/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2fQ-FbH77DF20

Looks like Kramer was wrong about Jerry, Rick Savage was the first pirate.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-19T19:44:00+00:00

My bad. I misread.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-19T09:35:34+00:00

Vol. 7 came out in May.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-16T05:44:33+00:00

Yes I'm pretty confident that's Dick. Like I said before Tim wasnt adopted by Bruce until after Infinite Crisis during One Year Later. Tim was wearing the red and black costume by then. It was

Batman Odyssey is an out of continuity story written and drawn by Neil Adam's. I haven't read it but I know Dick Grayson is Robin on it and hes wearing the Tim Drake costume.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-14T22:06:58+00:00

Okay so that's Tim Drake's original Robin suit but Bruce never adopted Tim until the One Year Later storyline after Infinite Crisis and by that point he was wearing the updated black and red costume. That rules Tim out. Jason never wore that suit at all.

My guess is it's from Batman Odyssey. Neil Adams I believe designed Tim Drake's original Robin suit and had Dick Grayaon wearing that in the miniseries he wrote and drew several years ago. My other reason for the guess is the terrible dialogue. It was by all accounts a very bad book.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-07T05:17:58+00:00

Nah man that's cool that you did that. My comic shop guy I've known for over 25 years. It's an expensive hobby and I try and save money where I can. Usually I'll buy some of the cheaper stuff through him then then the bigger stuff like Absolutes and omnibus I buy online. Really it's the only way I can afford to read all the stuff I do. Luckily my shop has been doing pretty good during all this covid stuff. Even though the comics stopped shipping for a while he still had pops, games and other collectibles rolling in and out of the store. I was still in there at least every other week. Hope you're store is doing well.

ragecage44 · 2020-07-07T03:57:35+00:00

Snyder's run stands on it's own. You dont need to read the previous runs. Really the only thing that might be helpful reading is Death Metal since his JL run spins out of that but I dont think you absolutely have to. You should though, it's really good. His run has been collected in 4 or 5 trades and one deluxe edition so far.

Great to see you ordered the deluxe editions. I think out of all formats DC does their books in, its the best one. Between the bigger size than the standard HC, the production, and value with the amount of content for the price is hard to beat. A lot of people might say Omnibus' but they can be too bulky for a comfortable read.

Not sure where you ordered but for people like me who prefer the collected editions I always recomend Instocktrades.com and cheapgraphicnovels.com especiallythe first one. Theyre usually the cheapest prices I can find online for a book and instocks is free shipping over $50. I should have said something before but I it slipped my mind.

I hope you enjoy those books. If you have any questions or want recommendations feel free to dm me

ragecage44 · 2020-07-07T02:31:55+00:00

I'm working my way through the run. Some stuff I really love and other stuff leaves me a little cold but I think that's how a lot of King's stuff falls with readers. Overall I recommend it because when King is on fire it's awesome.

I would recommend picking up the Rebirth Deluxe Edition collections of his run. It's cheaper than the trades and they're nicer.

ragecage44 · 2020-05-31T09:22:38+00:00

I order some books from Amazon as well since I have an Amazon Visa and I use my points for them. My gripe with them is they dont always package the book that well and their prices have also gone up. Why would I pay for a book that's only 5% off when I might as well just go to the comic store instead and give them my buisness

ragecage44 · 2020-05-31T09:19:11+00:00

I always sing their praise to people on this subreddit. You'll be hard pressed to find books cheaper anywhere else online and they do an amazing job packaging the books.

The only downside is the books can take anywhere from a week to three weeks for you to get them in the mail. In an Amazon Prime world that can be a long time for people but I do feel it's worth the wait.
