Comic Book Reading Club - PLANET HULK

[danielrbischoff]

Lets try for something again that is short. Like 3-6 issues. Just as another trial run. Then we can go larger. If everybody agrees to go for a big series now, that's fine, it was just a thought I had.

I agree with used on the length, a shorter book will also lower the cost-of-entry bar for this second-chance run.

 

[Paradox]

I agree with Daniel agreeing with used. I do want to read AvX, but that would be quite a bit to start with.

I went searching for a few other ideas, but nearly everyone I found is a lot longer than I thought they would be. I included them anyway along with page length. Most I haven't read yet, but I did include Kingdom Come and Marvels because I can't recommend them enough. Most are on par price-wise with what X-Men Noir was.

The Infinity Gauntlet, 256 pages

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, 224 pages

Astonishing X-Men, 320 pages

The Marvels Project, 208 pages

Ultimates, vol 1, 160 pages

Batman: Arkham Asylum, 216 pages

Kingdom Come, 232 pages

Marvels, 248 pages

I've read through most of those, but I would be up for any of them.

 

[NickKmet]

I'll read whatever.

I like free. Free is good.

 

[used44]

Those 700 free comics are all Issue #1s. So there's not exactly a sizable chunk of anything.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Just pick something, my cash stands at the ready

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear sounds good to me. Yes? No? Yes?

 

[used44]

Yes. Have you read it? I'm unapologetically a fan of Miller's superhero stuff, so I'm down.

Only problem, it's not on the app, but I can have a TPB on its way asap if chosen.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

I haven't read that one, but I've heard good things about it.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Sounds good.

 

[danielrbischoff]

I'm ready to order as well.

Should I? Ummm now?

 

[used44]

Ordered.


I also got myself King City and The Manhattan Projects while I was at it.

 

[NickKmet]

someone should link it for me so I don't accidentally buy the wrong thing.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

This one is the one I'm getting:
http://www.amazon.com/Daredevil-The-Man ... 057&sr=8-1

 

[used44]

That's what I got, though I really like the first run cover from 1994 so I almost went with a used copy, but alas, similar price and free shipping.

 

[NickKmet]

I'll try to get it later this week.

 

[Paradox]

I'll try to get it later this week.

Same here. I got some big expenses coming up, so I may get it Friday if I can.
