In Reply to: Starting a collection of comic books. posted by PottyTrainedEarly on May 21, 2002 at 13:25:07:
: I have a few comic books. (Most of them are star wars and spawn.) I was wondering if any of you could suggest a few that you like so I can check them out.
: Thanks :o)
I loved Green Arrow, and I started collecting the old ones. The Longbow Hunters is a beautiful introduction for Quiver, and I think you can read either one first. One is heavy on the writing, the other on art, but they are both visually very beautiful and very touching.
My brother loved Daredevil, but I was not as much of a fan.
It depends on whether you want superheroes or not.
POJK and Pretzelfan seem to be the real authorities on comics here. Maybe they can help.
One of my favorites is Thor, but it's not going to be for everyone. I think Noble Causes is a riot. I wish I had thought of it first. The new Mrs. Noble is a mortal woman who is now part of a very disfunctional, highly deadly family. It's like a cross between the Fantastic Four and Dallas, except the "family business" is superhero crimefighting.
