@excalipoor Not ony did I buy it, it IS FREAKING AWESOME.  Thanks, Conor.  The material in it is comedy GOLD.

The Hawman/Hawkgirl stuff alone was worth the price of admission.

Dammit Conor, look what you made me go and do.  iFanboy strikes my wallet again.

June 23, 2010 11:14 pm Wow, that is NOTHING like the comic :(.

June 23, 2010 9:15 pm @DarkKnightJared - Yes, the first issue highlights the Samaritan and his dreams of flying.  Great story.

@cromulent - I don't know how old you are or what your life is like, but trust me...if you aren't reading them now, you won't be reading them later either.

I always thought to myself "Yeah, when I get older, I'll sit down and go through the issues and re-read a lot of these."  The truth of the matter is that I've been saying that for 30 years now, and I am no closer to re-reading those than I was when I was 15.

I'm going to put the best aside for my kids and hope that they appreciate, but I plan on moving the bulk of them as soon as I find time to go through the multitudes. All I'm doing is acting as a comics warehouse. much like you.

June 14, 2010 12:31 pm Heh - just noticed you actually DID put a Watchmen spoiler at the top of the post.  LOL.

Thanks for the Watchmen spoiler!  What the hell!

 

I keed, I keed.  The horror you describe is exactly why I moved to trades.  I have a few dozen longboxes in the attic and those comics never get looked at.  While I love individual issues, the sad truth is that they are just languishing about in my house.  My trades, on the other hand, get read all the time.

Dealing with individual issues, especially if you're a neurotic (as I suspect most comic collectors are, is just a logisitical nightmare.

So I order from Amazon (yay two day shipping, love Amazon Prime) and then promptly forget I ordered the book.

Today a giant box arrives and I'm like "What the hell is this?!  I didn't order anything big..."  I mean, this box is HUGE.  I open it up, completely baffled how it could be so big and yet relatively so light.

OMG THIS BOOK IS FREAKING GIGANTIC.

I mean, I knew it was big, but good lord I didn't expect THIS.

Oh, and it's sweet as hell.

June 9, 2010 10:46 am @Conor - Excellent, thanks, I'll be sure to make use of it.  I tend to buy a lot of stuff through Amazon, so it's nice to have a general purpose ink that I can use to help you guys out.

June 8, 2010 11:56 pm Ok, I feel like an idiot.  Is there a iFanboy Amazon affiliation link for this book somewhere on the site and I just can't find it?!  If I'm going to buy it I'd like iFanboy to get a cut.
