May 23, 2013 1:35 pm As we near the end of Morrison's awesome run some have mentioned, me included, that they are going to re-read the whole thing once it is ended. I found this which should be helpful to any new readers who would like to read it from the start....... http://comicsastonish.com/2012/01/04/a-readers-guide-to-grant-morrisons-batman/

May 21, 2013 9:05 am I miss Ghost Rider. He is still my all time favorite comic character.

May 20, 2013 1:07 pm Oh, to answer your question some Indie books I also enjoy are Saga, Walking Dead and Cyber Force. I will also be checking out 'Uncanny' and 'Lazerus' this summer.

May 20, 2013 1:05 pm I am slowly converting to Indie comics too. The draw for me to them is it's always something new and different. A mini series here, a mini series there, an ongoing run that is about something totally wacky and different. I recently got into American Vampire which I am really enjoying. Just finished the 2nd trade of that series and will be getting the 3rd soon. I hope to get caught up to the ongoing issues as they are on a hiatus right now. Scott Snyder is the writer and I have kind of gotten to the point where I am buying everything he writes. I'm not really a Superman fan but I will be picking up Superman Unchained in June. Also he has a new mini series called 'The Wake' that I will be checking out too. I'm slowly not only going more indie books but also I seem to be following writers around more so than following characters around.

May 15, 2013 3:23 pm I got a lot of my older Ghost Rider issues on ebay. Sometimes I would need just 1 or 2 issues that were in a lot of 10 issues. So I have a lot of doubles now I have to resell. But the prices on there were really cheap.

May 15, 2013 2:01 pm Yeah, it is fun to hunt for comics one needs at comics shops. It's really a satisfying feeling when you find one. Especially for the price you want.

May 15, 2013 1:29 pm Yeah, I remember in the 90s when the Midnight Sons were so popular. They spawned titles like Morbius, Darkhold and Nightstalkers. That was a great time to be a Ghost Rider fan. I really liked that 2011 series too. Too bad it only lasted 9 issues. I was confused that Marvel didn't relaunch a new Ghost Rider title with John Blaze as the host at the same time the movies came out. I'm sure if someone went to the movie and then went to the comic shop and picked up an issue of that 2011 series they would be totally confused. 'Who is this female Ghost Rider?'. I was sad when it got cancelled. But yeah, the 90s series was my favorite. I remember they cancelled the series after #93. Even before the final issue. Then #94 came out years later. Very strange. It shouldn't be hard for you to pick up the rest of that series for pretty cheap in the back issue bins.

May 15, 2013 1:07 pm I really NEED to check out this series in trade format. I keep hearing good things.

May 15, 2013 1:04 pm Hey, another 90s Ghost Rider fan! That was the series I grew up reading. Ghost Rider #2 that came out in the 90s was the first comic I ever bought. I now own every Ghost Rider issue ever, even from the 70s. And most of the crossovers and guest appearances too. I think it would be fun to find Howard Mackie at a convention sometime and have him sign that #2 issue of Ghost Rider. Not because it would be worth anything, but just for Nostalgia's sake. Javier Saltares too.

May 15, 2013 1:00 pm The Superman reference is my Brother totally. He buys anything with a Superman symbol on it. Even has a bathrobe that is a superman costume. Never read a Superman comic in his life. He HAS seen all the movies though. That would be the other reference like Conor mentioned I guess.
