Finally finished Swamp Thing. Superb series. A part of me wishes that Swamp Thing was never touched again, such was it perfection.
Started reading Action Comics: 80 Years of Superman Deluxe Edition. My collection needed more Supes, and at less than $20, this was a great buy for me.
About halfway through Multiversity and it is *kisses fingertips*
Thanks ArkhamJanie, that was helpful. I've got the month's free MU subscription so I'll give Hickman another try.
And Orion- it was released as a standalone book, and it was advertised to the buying public as an 'event', i.e. standalone story. No need to get frosty if Hickman couldn't deliver what he was asked to. And no, I've never read a Deadpool in my life thank you. I specifically got this book because I like to try books by those who are regarded as great writers, not because I am slavishly following comic titles.
Instead of being snooty about anyone who doesn't 'get it' straight away, it might be more constructive if you could enlighten me as to why you think it is so obviously and objectively 'good'. What is the underlying concept that Hickman develops in FF?
Just ignore Orion. Somehow his "passive aggressive" snark continually gets a pass from the mods, while the rest of us are held to the letter of the law
Currently rereading the Ghostbusters: Total Containment HC.
Pull List: Daredevil, Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, No One, Time Before Time

I've decided to quell my interest in omnibuses. I've loved reading them, but have come to realise that they are too pricey for me and are so big that reading them feels like a slog. I have Infinity Gauntlet which will have to be tackled next summer.
In other news, I started reading the HC editions of Ms Marvel and I have been reminded of why I love comics and, most importantly, of how to enjoy myself. Saying that, I read it with an air of sadness as, I first read it when I was a little younger and now I am a bit older aha and much has changed. Sign of growing up?
Thats probably one lf the wisest financial decisions you can make for yourself! There is no reason for them to feel like a slog though. They are simply a collection of comics. Many omnibus', I finish a current story line, track where I am and take a break. If people were collecting single issues, they would read many different issues and not just read only Batman or something for 40 straight uninterupted issues.
Absolute The Long Halloween, read it years ago as singles, first time Absolute read and it’s still cracking, racing through the thing, they don’t make em like this any more
