Besides Valiant? :hm:

Adams Batman issues
Adams Green Lantern issues
Adams Superman issues (notice a trend here?)
Brave & Bold (superhero issues)
Bronze Age #1s (I am not pursuing all of them, but a lot of them)

I am also working on, or have recently completed, runs of All Star Comics (Bronze Age), Adventure Comics (Spectre issues), TMNT #s 1 - 10, Tower Of Shadows, Miller Daredevil issues, Captain Marvel (Marvel from the 60s), Watchmen. There is more, but I am drawing a blank right now. I have comic collecting ADD :oops: .

I have that problem too! 3 trips to WDW and 2 to DL. We are trying to figure out how to get there this year. I need less expensive addictions.

I love those two books. My only complaint is that the Walking Dead isn't a regular monthly book.

I have shrunk my modern pull list to just three titles. New comics are just getting way too expensive and the contents are not even worth it anymore. I miss the good old days when comics were printed on newsprint paper and only cost about a buck each. I'm actually looking for reasons to pull out completely from collecting modern issues. Anyways here are the titles I still get monthly....

Uncanny X-Men

Witchblade

The Boys

Other than collecting VH1 comics (trying to build a set of 1 of each) and whatever VEI will be putting out, I collect Uncanny X-Men, X-Men (and New X-men and X-factor for the Messiah Complex crossover). I plan on trying out X-force and Cable when they come out soon also. I also pick up the new Thor series every month and will resume New Universal when it begins shipping again with new stuff. I also get any of the old New Universe stuff that I can get my hands on. :clap:

Edit: Oops, forgot to put Star Wars- Legacy on my list of stuff. Gotta feel the Star Wars love! :thumb:

Yes he is.

I hope X-Factor maintains that excellence following the departure of Peter David.

Thanks. Got your back too.

When it was first coming out, X-Factor was one of my favorite books coming out. I hope it can keep up.

Though this may be a good time to hop over to She-Hulk.

You could probably get by on just Uncanny or adjectiveless (now "Legacy").

Also, Astonishing X-Men is unrealted to the other X-books, though Whedon's run is almost over. Warren Ellis is gonna do the next run of Astonishign though. I'm looking forward to it.

Peter David is my third favourite comic book writer, after Shooter and Starlin.
