December 26, 2011 4:54 pm Girlfriend got me Ex Machina deluxe hc Vol. 3 (now I'm one step closer to finish collecting that great series) & she got me Vol. 4 of Gotham Central - so that's finally completed in my collection. But the best things I got, also from her, was a Mitchell & Ness Philadelphia Flyers hoodie - not cheap in any way. Hockey and comics, how could Christmas get any better???

December 15, 2011 3:07 pm I didn't realize Batman: Dark Victory was coming out next year. Nice! I already have Long Halloween so I guess I'm hooked in for the sequel - even though I already own them in trade format. I use to buy every Absolute I could get my hands on (I have 12 in total), but I've fallen behind the last few years. Still need both Planetary volumes, V for Vendetta, & All-Star Superman. It would be nice if they put both Authority volumes back in print too. It's just so hard to justify spending a heavy amount of $ on things I already own in other formats. Make that doubly hard when your list of things you don't own and haven't read at all, keeps growing and growing - - I see you Bone 20th anniversary full color one volume edition. Soon.... Richard Stark's Parker: The Martini Edition?!? Oh great......*shakes fist in air*

December 5, 2011 3:18 pm annnnnd another screen shot from Battling Boy. Sorry, couldn't help it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ernestborg9/2955599650/

December 5, 2011 3:06 pm @jaflanagan - Josh I couldn't agree more. When I was watching your segment the first thing I thought of (and it's somewhat new - 2006) was Paul Pope's, Batman: Year 100. He is at least one of a few artist today that still uses this technique, and uses it very well. Maybe that explains (partially) why I think he art, and more specifically his action sequences, move with such fluidity. Here's even a newer screen capture of his as-yet to be released Battling Boy. Good to see he's still using this technique in his bag of tricks. http://firstsecondbooks.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d928653ef0148c6d4a2d0970c-pi

November 28, 2011 3:30 pm Yes!!!!! Always truly exciting when you read something in trade and the long wait is over. Double awesome when it's a series that is this killer-amazing.

November 10, 2011 12:06 am Magneto is by far my favourite Marvel character. Can not wait to read this.

November 1, 2011 9:06 am Fuck. Yet another Absolute Edition on my list to get......oh yeah and that awesome all-in-one colour edition of Bone is coming up this month too. It must be Christmas!!! I best grab some more overtime to pay for these gems.

October 10, 2011 9:03 pm F me!!! I'd love to get this, but can't justify it given I have all the 100 Bullet trades already, finally finished getting all the Y The Last Man HC's, and still need the last Gotham Central, Starman, Powers HC's, and the final 3 Ex Machina and Preacher HC's. Just too much to finish collecting to start yet ANOTHER upgrade. I know they'll be nice though.

October 3, 2011 3:04 pm Correct me if I'm wrong. But all of us here got into comics at one time or another throughout our life (or me, got into it, dropped it, and got back huge and stayed since 2001). And none of us needed some huge move like the "New 52" to get us into comics. There are a million different reasons we all got into reading comic books, i.e. super hero cartoon shows, movies, games, comic events, friends, etc. etc. etc. My point is the "New 52" is just another ONE of those reasons. There is no doubt in my mind that it has brought on some new readers, brought back old readers, and brought over other readers from say Marvel - to try out some of these great NEW books. Bottom line is it is getting people reading, and who can blame DC for that?

September 26, 2011 3:28 pm Nice! Good job Pete. You make all us other Canadians proud. At least I assume you're Canadian from the CIBC bank and Bell phone booth you were at. Hahaha......wait, I'm just realizing something here. A comic book podcast left in a phone booth. Oh Pete, you ironically clever genius.
