How much of Eisner's Spirit is worth seeking out? I own the first three archive volumes which I got for a song, but if I could get a bunch more fairly cheaply, is it worth it? I haven't worked my way through the three I own yet, but I recall thinking it pretty decent for Golden Age stuff. But is it one of those comics that would reward a deep exploration or are the first three and the Best Of probably sufficient?

Pretty much all of the Eisner stuff is good and not just "good for the era", but there's a long period between volumes two and twelve where Eisner was in the army and not doing the strip. Feel free to skip up to volume 12 and then just keep reading. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Apr 14, 2018 |

Random Stranger posted:I need to pop down to my newsstand for some new comics. But which ones should I get... That's very open-ended question. What kind of series did you like when you did read? If you never read before, what kind of series do you like in general? Can help you whittle it down from there.

Also, will pincher clips gripping the top of the comics reduce their value?

Oh, we can WISH for a popular puritanical book burning movement. Surviving copies would skyrocket even further on an illegal black market!

I've read half of The Vision and it's reminding me of One Hundred Years of Solitude, in the best possible ways.

I have an odd question, and this thread seems like maybe the place to ask. The US edition of the Judge Dredd complete case files has had a different cover than the British version for the first 14 volumes released. The 15th volume of the US edition is being released this week. However, it looks like the cover is the same as the UK version. Does anyone know if they decided to no longer do a different cover or is there a US version that just isn't on the internet or something else? I have tried to do some research online, but I cannot find anything definitive. I figured people here tend to be rather knowledgeable. Thanks in advance.

Those comics are actually really good, if anyone's wondering. The Rebirth Detective Comics guy writes 'em.

Teenage Fansub posted:Those comics are actually really good, if anyone's wondering. The Rebirth Detective Comics guy writes 'em. Agreed. The scene after the turtles first fight Batman is so awesome. Everyone has their own take on what the hell they just fought, but Leonardo's all, "I've never fought someone like him...Shredder, maybe...but it was different. He was testing us. Avoiding lethal blows...he wanted to figure us out. He was fighting like a detective. I've never seen anything like it." Even that Batman/Raphael panel is from a good scene. Raph is dismissive that Batman really gives a poo poo about helping them (being in the DCU is causing the mutagen in their biology to break down and they're on a time limit) and feels that he's just a loner with no concept of family who does this vigilante thing as a lark. Batman shows him that this isn't true. There's a separate Batman/TMNT crossover where it's the Batman: The Animated Series continuity meeting the Nickelodeon TMNT continuity. It's really fun and it acts as the canon reason for why Scarecrow changed up his look to the creepy noose costume.

Somewhat of a tangent, but I really appreciate the colors on Barbara's costume, is that the one she's running with right now?

Just some artistic license, I suppose. Her costume's still a purple jacket.

Hahaha, I stand corrected! The idea of Bane getting someone to make him a custom fabric mask bigger than a parachute and then taking it to there and unfolding it is really silly! It seems like a Silver Age plot.

If it was in the States, I would assume he'd have his passport. If it was here in the UK? If he doesn't have a driver's licence, he may not normally carry photo ID.
