Just called Cosmic Comics, they are offering me R10 an issue. Including #1 first prints :eek:

:eek: Oh balls! That doesn't sound right. Perhaps they have too many surplus copies of those issues. I remember earlier this year they went on quite the drive to accumulate issues from the new52.

Then keep trying privately.

I just don't get it man! There is a certain store (Don't want to mention names) But they push up their prices on what they deem "collectible" to over a grand, however, it is worth R100 MAX, but their customers lap it up. When you try and sell said item, as a private collector, you will never get that amount.

Yet in Magic: the gathering, the second hand market is brilliant! Whatever the card is worth, that is what you get. A tarmagoyf sells for R1300, you will get your cash for it easily.

MtG is South Africa is a lot more "regulated", which means there are just more people playing it. Add more people to a hobby and it becomes very difficult for people to hike prices on rarer items.
 
Yeah hell. Not letting this stuff go for such a measly price.

But anyway, enough of the collection. Back to the task at hand.

Best title this year? My vote goes to Revival. Loving it. Awesome retake on "zombies" Can't classify them as such, but still. Also, sheltered is turning out to be an awesome title as well. And then there is ghosted too.......damn, all that Image releases is top notch nowadays!

Revival is really good. Seeley and Norton are killing it on that book. Another one that I'm loving is East of West. Hickman is doing an astounding job on that. So far, that's my favourite new series of 2013.

I enjoyed the first 3 issues, then it went downhill for me. Lost me a bit. I will get it digitally though, and give it a chance. Hickman has always done a stellar job.

I missed this in print, so I'm doing it digitally to begin with. It's a great book.
Anyone reading Killjoys by Gerard Way?
 
So Villain's Month is over...did anyone pick up any books and perhaps get any of those nice 3D covers?

I picked up Harley Quinn, Mr.Freeze (art by JoBurg's own Jason Masters), Penguin, The Riddler, Two Face and The Joker in 3D. Then, I just grabbed Lobo, Deadshot, Count Vertigo and Arcane in normal form, just to read the stories.

Have you read any of them yet? What did you think?

Also, what books are on your pull-lists every month? I'm curious to see what people are picking up.

I read both , Neither of which really stood out for me Personally .
I have dropped so many titles though

Currently I have the Superman Unchained which you recommended
I have the Avengers
And Infinity
Justice league ( yes yes I know but I have vested so much time in this I am waiting for some payoff)
Also Superior Spider Man
I dropped Amazing Spiderman really didnt like the new artist .
Dropped all X men and Wolverine Variations
Picked up Judge Dredd the new run cause I cant get into the older ones cause its too deep in story
I kinda liked the Megazine judge dredd as well

Oh and Earth One

Yes I am and I totally agree the art is fantastic , and the story is building up nicely as well .

I have to ask bud you said you also following infinity , now I have been reading the avengers and picked up 2 of the infinity line but I feel like I missed something somewhere Ive checked on Marvels site but to be honest they dont list their books according to the arcs and that makes it difficult .
can you give me a list of those that you have ?

Sure man. I decided not to splash out on all the tie-in books (those can be bought much cheaper in a few months, or even digitally).
So I follow the main story (so far I have Infinity #1-3) and I take the "main"-ish tie-in "New Avengers". I am planning on getting the Avengers books that I am missing from the core story.

Basically, if you follow Infinity, Avengers and New Avengers, you are good to go. I haven't started reading the story yet, because I am trying to get my hands on all of them before I dig in.

Check this out -

INFINITY #1
New Avengers #8
Avengers #18/New Avengers #9
INFINITY #2
Avengers #19/New Avengers #10
INFINITY #3
Avengers #20
INFINITY #4
Avengers #21/New Avengers #11
INFINITY #5
Avengers #22
Avengers #23
INFINITY #6
New Avengers #12

EDIT - There is a main story, then it splits into two other stories - Earth and Cosmic. You can spot all the issues at this spreadsheet

Sweet bud thanks for that
I also like to follow the main story arcs only , like age of ultron etc those that span a few books
But short runs like this I always feel like I am missing something ,I know that sounds silly ( I sometimes grab a few scans here and there to piece things together , just to get the whole picture .Which is what I will ed up doing for this )

The issue I have with this is that the continuity is all messed up , because half the Characters are tied up in Avengers Arena
