revi Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 are you looking for a batman or a spiderman book only? if i might suggest, try and check out "the ultimates" or "the ultimates 2" from marvel...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are Essentials TPB (trade paper backs) at 999 per of Spiderman (also XMen, Daredevil, etc.) which compiles the old comic books and the annuals.. Example would be the Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider Man Essentials Vol. 1.. which would cover the issues of Spectacular from 1-30.. plus some annuals if space would permit.. Medyo mahal sa mga comic book shops as compared to Powerbooks.. The ultimates that m@rky said are stories na wala sa continuity ng Marvel.. para na ring Elseworlds ng DC.. but ito magaganda (daw) ang story arcs.. Meron na ring TPB's ang ultimates.. I am now renewing my interest on the Avengers.. kasi dito ngayon nag-rerevolve ang Marvel Universe.. Check out the House of M limited series.. (meron na ring TPB) I am now looking for the TPB's of the following: Avengers Disassembled.. and JLA vs. Avengers.. Marvel has new Avengers now: Hawkeye, Ant man and the Vision are dead.. The new Avengers are comprised of: Spider Man, Iron Man, Power Man (Luke Cage), Spider Woman - Jessica Drew, Capt. America, Wolverine, the Sentry.. Quote Link to comment

Btw, I already have the 3 batman knightfall.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Batman books you gotta have: Broken CityArkham AsylumNo Man's Land Volume 5The Long HaloweenBatman Year OneThe Killing JokeGothicand most important of all....The Dark Knight Returns As for Spiderman, anything with the spider clone saga...just kidding! Don't follow Spiderman kasi eh. more into the x-titles and vertigo. Hey, maybe you wanna try a few vertigo books aside from The Sandman? If you've read the Sandman, check out Lucifer. Even Neil Gaiman is in praise of Mike Carey's work on Lucifer. Other Vertigo titles worth reading: FablesY: The Last ManSwamp ThingV for VendettaThe LosersThe Invisiblesand the most important comic of the last century...Watchmen. Quote Link to comment
kaboomerangle Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 in that arc they implied that jason was the mysterious hush figure which was behind the recent events thats been happening (in that story). and of course batman was hell bent on discovering the truth... batman was able to meet the hush villain but as far as i know (i might have missed a few clues here and there) the arc ended up with hush being implied as jason todd (a lot more clues and hints was dropped)... i researched a little bit and i was able to find out that there's a new character in batman's world named "the red hood". this character was the one who was revealed as jason todd. as of the moment how he was resurrected is still mystery to me... (sorry i'm not up to date with this character). how he was resurrected might have already been explained but you might need to ask those who followed the storyline...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>if you read the story, you would find out that Hush is actually Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Tommy Elliott who has a grudge against him. though with recent developments, it is implied that Jason Todd himself may have been involved in some way as well, esp. during one scene there... all will be revealed as to how Jason Todd came back in the upcoming Batman Annual comic. I think it will be out next month; correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment

Btw, I already have the 3 batman knightfall.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would suggest to buy Spiderman Title Era 1980 to 1996 issue dont buy issue release in 1996 to 2003, since this is the issue were the penciler draw a comic characters in a different way, this use computer animation, dark back ground. Buy issue were an Villan and new superHeroes appear, and if you see Amazing Spiderman 300 first appearance Of Venom Buy it! Quote Link to comment

Dunno about that story arc.. Hindi kaya compilation ito ng mga back issues ng Amazing Spider Man.. Coz when the Spider Man story started in the 60's.. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko conceptualized Spidey as a teenage boy (a high school student) di ba? Kung hindi ito yung Essentials.. hindi ko ito alam pare.. With regards to a woman being SpiderMan.. (Hindi ito sina Jessica Drew.. yung mga Spider Woman di ba?) --- I think this was after the clone saga.. Di ba nag-retire si Peter Parker dun.. and then there was this Spidey woman that came up.. Di ako sure dito orionpax ha.. The funny thing is I think I have some issues of that story arc.. but I did not read them coz I lost interest.. and I stopped reading and collecting comics during that run.. Those comics are in my other house in Cavite.. Due to work, I haven't had the time to visit our other house.. But if time permits.. try ko ngang basahin ito.. To those who know the story arc.. correct me if I am wrong.. I tried to order the JLA vs. Avengers TPB.. Nakupow!!! Hardbound pala ito.. and has a wrap around cover by George Perez.. Maganda ano? Kaso at 4,000.. Ayayayay!!! Parang mas maganda pa kung umorder na lang ako ng back issues.. Quote Link to comment
echo2knight Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Guys, anyone of you read the Alternate X of the Xmen Universe? Kindly rate it. I have the complete collection, ganda ng storyline (when Prof-X was killed in the past before he formed the xmen). Basa ko na, kaso naghahanap lang ako ng feedback. This was published in 1995. May nakabasa na ba sa inyo? Quote Link to comment

thirteen Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Jason Todd? the 2nd robin who died at the hands of the JOKER? astig ha....guys, i took a kiatus from the comic scene and was wondering what happened to the xmen...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> if we condense the last few years of the x-titles, heres how it goes: Magneto takes control of Genosha and becomes its leader. Genosha is declared a haven for all mutants. Magneto kidnaps Prof X and declares war on the world (again), but is stopped by the X-men. Soon after, Genosha is destroyed by Mega-Sentinels controlled by Cassandra Nova. Around 12 million mutants die. The mutant population of the world has been exponentially increasing, and mutants are no longer the hapless minority. It is estimated that within 3 generations, the human race will become extinct. Cassandra Nova (who turns out to be Prof X's twin sister) takes control of Prof X's body and publicly declares himself a mutant, as well as leader of the X-men to the whole world. He sets up X-corp offices around the world to take care of mutants. Cassandra Nova is eventually defeated by the X-men, but only after destroying the Shiar royal family and nearly causing a war between earth and the Shiar. Magneto, thought dead in the attack on Genosha turns out to be alive (again) and has been posing as a different mutant teaching at the X-Mansion. He declares war on the world (again), the X-Mansion is destroyed (again), New York is decimated (again), but is defeated by the X-men (again). Before he is decapitated by Wolverine, Magneto manages to k*ll Jean Grey (Planet X storyline). Magneto turns out to be alive (again), and the magneto wolverine killed was actually a clone of magneto called joseph. Magneto takes custody of the Scarlet Witch after she destroys the Avengers (Avengers: Disassembled storyline). Prof X resigns as head of the X-school and X-men and goes to Genosha to help fix the Scarlet Witch's mind. The New Avengers and X-men debate on whether to k*ll the Scarlet Witch because she is too powerful and mentally unstable. Before they can act, the Scarlet Witch changes reality and makes her father's dream of a working mutant supremacy come true (House of M storyline). Everybody who matters finds out that reality is wrong, they go to Genosha to take down Scarlet Witch, a fight ensues and Scarlet Witch changes reality back to what it should be. Except for one major thing..."no more mutants". So, just as the mutant population was exploding, it is suddenly down to less than 200. Mutants aren't fighting for acceptance any more, they are fighting for survival. Which brings us to the present day. (whew!) Quote Link to comment
