Right? Who would have thought a signed book was cheaper than a regular one. Only the remains of the sicker is a bit annoying.

Damn, so the Turtles can use their weapons!

Yeah man. Leonardo always brought his katanas to battle only to hit the thugs with the hilt …

Love comics. Read them and collected a bunch when I was a kid, and fell out of it as I got older. Got briefly back into them when they revamped the New 52 stuff 15 years ago or so? got really into the newer Action comics superman. Superman was always a favorite of mine as a kid. I love the newer All Star Superman, and the Superman for All Seasons from the late 90's.
There's a used comic shop (actually a few) not too far from me, and I'm thinking of picking up a few series of graphic novels from stuff that I've heard about but never really got into reading. Saga, Y the Last Man, 100 Bullets. Still have a few classics in an old box in the basement that I may read again.

Have a mad old collection of comics. A lot of them are still sat in the loft at my ex's home. Mostly Batman (including all issues of The Legends of the Dark Knight), Groo The Wanderer, the Marvel run of 'Civil War' untold amounts of graphic novels from a leather-bound Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns + sequel, Watchmen, From Hell, countless Batman (again), X-Men, Superman, Spiderman, Wolverine. Think I still have issue one of Witchblade too. I actually need to get hold of them all.
Not collected for a long time. Went digital for a while (The Walking Dead, 100 Bullets, Sandman etc). Want to get back to Usagi Yojimbo (have a lot of the collected editions but not from past 5+ years). Also the new run of Absolute Batman looks incredible.

I got a bunch of old comics graded a few years ago, used to be a hobby of mine before CGC had a bunch of drama after Covid… reminds me I should log on their forum and see what’s new!

Worth checking out The Massive by Brian Wood. Recommended.

Have you guys read Michael Turners Witchblade ? Or his Fathom? Give it a try, but it should be from the Turner era pre 2008.
He has sadly passed at a young age due to cancer but he was hands down the best artist out there. He did a lot of cover art for all the big names too. I'd buy the comic just for his art...highly recommend it!

Here's what's currently on my sub list
The entire Absolute Line (Martian, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern)
The Sacrificers
Energon universe GI Joe
Void Rivals (catching up)
GI Joe ARAH
And maybe others I don't currently see on my desk
Recently finished reading the re-releases of the GI Joe ARAH compendiums. Unfortunately, my past collections are who knows where...

Also... recently picked up Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser omnibus if anyone is familiar. Love the art style and theme so I figured I couldn't go wrong.
