33 books in 2 weeks? How do you bloody sleep at night?

 

[PWN3R]

I don't, my wallet stares at my with evil and disappointed eyes.

I have to track down Runaways digests now that Whedon will be headed over there. I always wanted to get them, but kept putting it off. Not much choice now, though.

Get them, if you can. Read it from the beginning. I can guarantee you that you won't regret it if you do. Especially now that Whedon is taking over Runaways. All the more reason why.

 

[PWN3R]

Forget Whedon, you should have been reading that book all along!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

^Agreed!

You won't be disappointed

 

[AndThePickles]

Yeah, I almost didn't believe that two AXMs were coming out so quickly.

Just sit back and enjoy It's both surprising and fabulous!

 

[Boba_Fett_123]

Yeah, I was slacking on comics in general during the AXM hiatus. I just now started buying a few regularly again, but never jumped on the Runaways bandwagon.

 

[AndThePickles]

Runaways is one of my absolute favorites. Trust me, it will be money very well spent!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Get Young Avengers while you're at it.

 

[AndThePickles]

Ah yes, should've mentioned that. If you get into Runaways, there's a Runaways/YA crossover going on right now. It's really good. YA is great by itself as well.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

What other X-Men comics do ya guys recommand?

Which ones do you already read?

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Astonishing X-Men, Uncanny X-men and the marvel selects which has a few different x-men comics into one issue, like Endsong, Deadly Genesis, House of M.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

X-Factor!

and X-Men, Carey's run is pretty good too. New Excalibur and Exiles can be fun as well.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

im also interested in the previous issues of X-men dating back to when X-men was created in 1940

You're better off buying a trade for those... the ones printed on pulp paper are really cheap (like $20 for a billion issues at Chapters - they're called "Essential X-Men"), but aren't in colour. Or if you have a great display screen (at least 17" flat screen I'd say) , you could get them on DVD-ROM. (it's called 40 Years of X-Men or something)

oops my bad... I was probably thinking of something else lol

any others?

there are a lot of big events made into trade paperbacks available from Chapters online... you can find more at a comic book store but they don't adjust for the current exchange rates and Chapters usually does... paying $40 for something that's listed at $25US is not high on my list of "things to do".

Unless you have random amounts of disposable incomes with which to support Heroes World

I can't believe you haven't been reading Runaways. Brian K. Vaughan is the greatest thing since sliced bread. He's an acclaimed, award-winning writer who writes great characters, and hasn't pitched a cross-over mega event. There's nothing to hate about the guy. In fact, read Y: The Last Man, too.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Hell yeah, read Y.

Although Brian. K Vaughn, on a giant crossover event would be effin fun. It'd be one of the better crossover events that's for sure. ^_^

[Colossal Spoons]

Speaking of Cyclops, if this "visorless" angle sticks, I'd like to see it show up in other X-books b/c AXM feels really detached from continuity.

Yeah, it has like, no timeline right now in 616. It's just... there.
