Ooh...I forgot about that one. Great title.

I just started readin git this summer, and after the first trade, I was both sad that I hadn't been reading this since it first came out, and overjoyed that I had so many more trades I could read through immediately.

[DoomJester]

In decreasing order.

1. Ultimates; Millar/Hitch
2. Swamp Thing; Moore/Veitch
3. New X-men; Morrison/various
4. Daredevil; Miller
5. Daredevil; Bendis/Maleev

Some of the runs aren't my favorite comics, but they are my favorite runs. I tried to avoid including really short runs (hence Miller's Batman Year One is out), and I left out limited series (so no DKR). And the series had to be finished to be included (hence the lack of Brubaker Cap and AXM).

Good topic though, It confirmed my sinking suspicion that I need to read Animal Man and gave me some ideas about a few other series. Purple Man you win Internets for also including Morrison's New X-men. I love that series.

HA! Priceless. I need fifthfiend's babies. Like now.

Hahahaha the mods actually deleted my post, that's fantastic.

Way to show that spine fellas

 

[CConn]

Wha happened?!

 

[fifthfiend]

The mods called me "spineless" for reporting a post, so I wrote an extremely emphatic response pointing out where I thought this was lacking as an approach to forum moderation, as well as helpfully pointing out one or two of their more obvious personal flaws.

They banned me for a week and then apparently deleted my response after people started agreeing with it, like the courageous stalwarts that they most certainly are.

 

[PhotoJones]

Was it agreement or shock at the sight of something ban-worthy?

Now, this might just be because I don't like you, but I think it's cool you were banned.

 

[PhotoJones]

I'm still wondering what it was in my post that offended fifthfiend so badly in the first place.

It was actually pretty great; it turns out when you get banned on an internet forum, the government sends you free money and hookers.

Shouldn't you be personally insulting somebody for not liking the same comics as you, or whatever it is you do?

Eww...So, now you've got the herps?

Ouch. Testy, testy.

 

[CConn]

That's what he get for using government ****es.

 

[CConn]

Ouch. Testy, testy.

He's got you there, though.

****.

 

[PhotoJones]

That's what he get for using government ****es.

Yep. And for using ****es in general.

He's got you there, though.

****.

I suppose. But, I've never knocked anyone for not liking a book that I like. I don't however, keep to myself my disdain for bad quality comic books.
