Nothing much for me.

Harbinger 12 - 25
The early West Coast Avengers issues up to 41.
Some odd Grell Green Arrow books.
Some X-Factor issues from 40 up to 60.

Mainly get collected editions these days.

Another vote for a few of the guys already mentioned.

Kurt Busiek, Grant Morrison and Peter David. Although I haven't read any of Peter Davids recent work.

Also enjoy Matt Wagners work.

Just got Miracleman 16, 17 and 18 for what seemed a good price. I paid £5 for the 16 (Alan Moore) and £3 for 17 & 18 (Neil Gaiman).

I'm not sure whether to keep them or eBay them. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to afford the full run of these. What do you reckon I'd get on eBay?

eBay and then ...

Keeping the stuff you liked is a safe bet. Maybe read most of it again and see what you think before making a decision.

I find with selling some books that sometimes I do regret the sale.

Personally I think the Byrne FF, in particular the first 30 or so issues, are classic. After that they are ...

Read that Ron Lim is the artist. Lim and Layton worked together handling the art on Legacy Of Doom, and the art in that book was good.

So hopefully Bob will be inking the book. Either way I'll pick it up when it's been collected.

Shame that Bob isn't doing the art. Bought a copy of the Graphic Novel, Full Circle of Mile High Comics last year. Was a book that I didn't even know existed.

Yeah, I like Robert Carlyle a lot. He's a good actor. What I mainly didn't like about the sequel was the kids. If they never left the compound none of the trouble would have occurred. As if you could escape from a compound like that without months of preparation, and these were young kids who had ...

Some of the trades are not that old, so there's a chance that you may find some in local stores that sell comics. I think if you can find the trades that reprint the late issues at a good price, then buy it.

One of the great things about the series from issue 165 is that Brian Bolland provides the ...

How many issues have there been so far?

I liked both movies. Although the second one, to me, was a completely different sort of film. Lacked the the originality of the original, but still enjoyable.

Cheers. It's probably going to be easier and cheaper to do it in singles.

Not sure about that. Some of the later issues are very hard to find and expensive

Indeed, I think you'll find that the beginning of the run would be quite cheap compared to it's end.

Also some of those trades are out of ...

Here you go. Not sure how many of these volumes would be in print.
The entire run by Geoff Johns has been collected. Iron Heights included in the list as it's a one off book, but it's essential to the Johns run.

I read the issues of Rom where The X-Mean appeared but that was it. He was cool, but I much preferred The Micronauts.

I think I had Rom annual 2 as well. But can't remember it except that I liked the cover a fair bit.

He did some great covers for G.I.Joe and Punisher. The one for Captain America annual 8 is incredible. Was always more a fan of his covers than his interior's. Covers benefited from better colouring and generally looked more dynamic than the interiors.
