Comics!

yea man it's like an alternate universe/reality type of story from what i remember. That one and Age of Apocalypse are the ones you want to stay away form until you've read up on them a little. Especially the latter.

Claremonts original run was the best. I'm not sure if they have any Omninbus' in print right now though
 
yeah, later on they split the series up and went blue team-red team or whatever. There was The Uncanny X-Men book and there was the regular new X-Men book, shit got a little confusing during that time but i was loving it heh. His whole run was pretty good though, it's just that he started to lose some steam towards end and stories started to get convoluted and stuff.

I'm saying dont start with this(even though it's a pretty cool read/series).

Read The Uncanny X-Men first.

tbh Claremonts run is long as fuck, so it's kind of hard to recommend. Especially if you're reading a bunch of other stuff. Warren Ellis' Astonishing X-Men is a pretty solid(and hihgly acclaimed) run that can be read as a standalone. Same goes for a few other X-Men runs/stories, including God Loves, Man Kills, which is basically a long ass one-shot.
 
What's everybody been reading lately?

I've been reading Chuck Dixon's 1987/88 miniseries The Winterworld (hence the current avi) though I haven't picked up a physical copy, just reading them digitally for now. I really love the style:

Essentially it's a post-apocalyptic/survivalist story about a new ice age which has covered the planet and the main character is a wanderer with a pet attack-badger, haha. So good.
 
Besides my regular new stuff (a list that has been decreasing as of late), I've started picking up back issues of a few series. The one that I'm most interested in getting a full run of right now is the DC Comics series All-Star Squadron. And in a bit of lucky coincidence, one of the artists who worked on the latter part of the run is going to be at a comic convention in my area in mid-October.
 
why does Marvel keep making Spiderman have brand-new #1 issues
it's stupid
number 800 was followed by yet another #1, what the fuck?
why the fuck does anyone think anyone wants this?
