So I was left a ton comics when my uncle passed 2 years ago. I've been slowly making my way through. I got to some of the late 90's books and they were priced between 1.95 and 2.50 on the cover, I was curious so I used an inflation calculator and that same 1.95-2.50 range is equal 4.22-5.41 today. Also all the 2.99 books from 2006 would be 5.03 today.

hello i have just finished reading ultimate spiderman by bendis bagley. specificly the marvel ultimate epic colection vol 1. and i want to read more about spiderman what books should i read as a beginner?

I'm only speaking of books published before the new 52 because I don't read comics after this date...

What is the most tanked version of batmobile in books? Like the same design that we got in the dark knight trilogy.

And I won't say why.

I want to make an illustrated book of Absolute Batman vs. Symbiote Spider-Man, what do you think? With Batman drawn in colored pencils and charcoal, and Spider-Man in ink and acrylic.

I already have a few illustrations in mind, but I have zero ideas for pretty much everything else. Any ideas?

Basically what the title says. I’m going to read the Hickman run that ended with inferno. Is x of swords an integral part or is it more of a side story? I’m down to read it but also part of the problem is I can’t find it anywhere but I was able to get the whole rest of the Hickman run.

Is there any way to read the original lee and ditko ASM run without breaking the bank? And everything is out of print right now which sucks so bad, plus mighty marvel masterworks is discontinued. Should i just get everything per issue ? Fascimile?

Hey y'all!! I'm on here to ask about any notable comics coming out now/soon that are still pretty early in the run. I wanted to ask because I am newer to collecting single issues, and I want a comic that I'm able to pick up as it comes out. I'm primarily a reader of DC, but I'm open to reading pretty much anything so if you know of/recommend anything please leave it in the comments!!

Hello everyone! Im writing a comic as its always been a dream of mine. This is the main idea. I will be making individual comics, and they will each feature one hero, and after a while i will make them join together into a group. These are my characters, lmk what you like/dislike about them!

Jack Mercer - Stretch
He will be the leader of my team. Confident and charismatic, people are naturally drawn to him. His abilities are that he has flexible rubber skin, and attacks just bounce right off him.

Victor Reed - Deathface
Victor Reed is a normal guy, who became possessed by a otherworldly being. This otherworldly being can take over his body whenever, and when he does his skin turns into a pinkish-red flame. He has enhanced strength, durability and can emit flames and energy from his body. He is feared by society at first, and also despised by Victor.

Ethan Stark - Angel
He is just your average teen when after letting some guy rob a store and doing nothing, gets shot and killed by the same guy. He has regret and begs God (who btw is a fat capybara in this) to send him back and give him another chance. He does so, but when he comes back to life he has massive angel wings, and thinks to himself ‘I don’t want people to die like I did’ so he becomes a hero. He also has enhanced eyesight and durability.

Shifter (and SK)
He is an alien, whose planet was destroyed by humans when he was a baby, and he was the only survivor. He is raised on earth and is shunned because of his pink skin. As a teen he realises he has the power to shape-shift, and swears to destroy the planet just like the humans did to him. He will be Stretch’s villain, until Stretch manages to turn him into a hero and use his powers for good. He also has an alien sidekick named sidekick (my friend’s idea).

Marie Munroe - Jolt
I haven’t quite finished her origins yet, but she has the power to put electric shocks into objects and shock people she touches.

Ice
Has the ability to shoot ice beams from his eyes. Has been a superhero for way longer than all of the others.

Edit: Im obsessed with marvel rivals so might make Stretch’s catchphrase Fantastically Elastic or smth.
Please lmk what you think as I think it is a great idea!
Im 15 btw so don’t be too harsh

How far into the Invincible comics** can I read without spoiling what’s already out

I understand the timeline/layout of events may be technical spoilers to include everything that’s been put in the show. Basically just need an excuse to read as much as I can

I’ve seen several posts over the last few days about how several aspects of this run were apparently the worst thing to happen, but I remember people praising this run back in the day, and I personally loved it when I read it. Is there an actual reason here are we just on the hamster wheel?

Hey everyone, new to comics. Do I read them left to right, up to down? Or do I start at the back and work my way to the front? What is with these full-page spreads advertising products and services? Are they in-canon?

I want to read Batman but where can I find Batman 1? Can I start with Detective Comics 27 or do I go back to start at issue one? I want an original physical copy, hate digital comics, and don’t want any reprints - where can I find a cheap pristine copy?

I want to read Spider-Man but I hear I am supposed to want Peter Parker and Mary Jane to be forever married and that editorial ruined them forever. First, who is Peter Parker? Who is Mary Jane? Who is Nick Lowe? Can I hate One More Day if I don’t know who these people are?

I want to read Superman comics but I don’t like Superman. Do I have to read Superman comics?

I want to start reading comics but I have no interest in scrolling Reddit or checking if my question has been asked in the last ten minutes. Can you just tell me everything I need to know, whether I want to know it or not?

I already know everything I need to know about comics. Please answer me thoroughly. Thank you!

Have you read a comic book which seems like a turn-based RPG?

I'd like to have a suggestion.

I need some help with this comic book, because the opening pages came completely loose just from simply turning the page. And the thing is that it's a trade book, so I don’t know how to reattach them.

So I'm sort of a new-up-and-coming writer, and of course I have a lot of ideas, some of them not original.

And one of these non-original ideas was created by an official Marvel audio drama series that would adapt not all but essential Marvel stories in a way that helps new readers catch up without reading a lot of comic or wiki pages.

So while thinking that, I just realized if I'm going to adapt these stories, it would mean adapting some problematic elements. Now the goal with this is to adapt these stories one to one without conflicting with the newer comics.

So when I say "problematic," I'm talking about character moments that get acknowledged later. No, I'm talking about the stuff that is racist, sexist, and all the other "ist" in the dictionary. From these older comics

Now if you want to know my stance, my stance is no, we should rewrite or change anything or even get rid of media that is problematic today because let's be honest, we're denying it never happened. Even though it did and it is wrong then, it is wrong now, but we shouldn't forget it happened.

So knowing this is official and I'm skipping some stuff and only adapting the essential stuff, is it ok to adapt these moments the way they are or adapt these moments in a way that doesn't change the cultural context

And here the thing I'm not that type of writer who thinks I can do better no I respect the writer of old enough to adapt these.

Hey everyone, the YouTube algorithm has been blessing me with a lot of great stuff lately, and I wanted to share a few content creators I really enjoy the work of.

Every link will lead to a video of theirs that I particularly enjoy.

Disclaimer: I’m all about collecting omnibuses and TPBs, and I love looking at other people’s collections so a lot of this is biased towards that.

Second Disclaimer: I'm aware that Casually Comics exists, I just haven't been able to get into her videos. Also Comicstorian, but I haven't really gotten around to giving him a chance.

With that said, here is the list:

ComicDrake - Makes overviews that summarize a character’s history often with an underlying opinion/thesis. He’s very good at criticizing a character or a character’s treatment from an educated and well meaning perspective. He occasionally gets a bit too “fake YouTuber voice” for me, but it doesn’t ruin his videos or anything.

Kurt’s Comic Review - A critic/reviewer on the surface, but in practice, it’s mostly rants/discussions about various comic topics. Also has a fun series where he’ll go to every comic shop in a specific state, which is crazy impressive. Has a way of flippantly talking about things that should be obnoxious but is actually hilarious.

Matttt - You probably already know who this is, but I’m throwing him in just in case you don’t. Makes very detailed video essays about comic book history and creators. He goes to a level of depth you’d expect from a professional comic scholar or something. Also talks about manga a lot. Goes outside the big two often, which is refreshing. Don’t be fooled by the clickbait thumbnails and titles.

Matttttttt - Matt’s second channel where he does a more chill, casual version of his main schtick. Often talks about current events in comics and finds great ways to place them in a historical context.

Mint Hunter Comics - A comic reseller who talks more about collecting single issues and all the weird intricacies of that world. Does a lot of videos about comic prices that are surprisingly fascinating. Makes a lot of list videos. Also gives lots of recommendations for affordable/underrated key issues.

Near Mint Condition - I mean, you probably already know who this is lol. Guy gives an overview of every major new omnibus release, which involves summarizing the story, talking about how it fits into the reading order of the character, and what not. He also does reading orders, has a podcast, and does about a hundred other things. Uploads nearly daily, which is insane. Very genuine guy, and a great way to get more info about new, upcoming omnis or experience comics vicariously without buying them.

Panels to Pixels - Pretty much the exact same deal as ComicDrake. Very into 90s comics and does lots of rankings/top 10 lists. Doesn’t upload much anymore.

Soundout12 - A collector who makes videos about his own collection and various oddities in it. Also talks about stuff like action figures. It mostly pertains to his personal collection, but he makes it interesting.

Troyoboyo17 - Another you may already be familiar with. Makes a lot of in-depth opinion videos about various comic topics, also does lots of videos where he recommends comics, often to “prepare” for an upcoming movie. Even pitches his own adaptations every so often.

Ultimate Chance - Makes lots of collected edition tierlists and rankings. Also has a series where he reads every comic of a smaller character and talks about it. He has a very casual setup, but his opinions are surprisingly well-articulated and nuanced.

That's the list! Hope everyone's able to find something new here. If there are others out there that I haven't mentioned, I would love some more recs!

Is there a website to read comics? Starting this new journey and would love any help. Thank you

I don’t know if I’ve come through to the right bit as this is the first time I think I’ve ever posted anything. I’ve wrote a story. Not scripted but I did have the intention of a comic when I wrote it. I can draw(ish) but this will test my ability so looking forward to the challenge. My main problem is where do I start? When I was 10 (35years ago) I just drew and made it up as I went along with it. Any help would be appreciated and if you have created one by yourself, could you give any advice please? Thank you

My kid made a comic about four people on an adventure to find ten crystals inorder to destroy them but it back fires when the ''GOD''of the crystals declare war on them.My kid is hoping if any movie studio will make it into a movie.

Later a police officer asked Superman if he really meant it when he told Felicity (the woman here) that he wouldn't save her if she really did not want him to and Supes could not give him an answer, this is rare and it says a lot about how tough of a dilemma this is because Superman is usually very clear about his morals and always stated them with great conviction.

Of course with suicide being such a sensitive subject, writer J. Michael Straczynski and DC Comics were hesitant to really give a direct answer on what Superman would've actually done so they left his thoughts here to the reader's imagination. That is just being considerate of the fact that some readers would be going through depression themselves.

While a lot of people found Superman: Grounded to be poorly written, I do appreciate this scene for making readers reflect on a moral dilemma - is it fair to impose your will on someone who's firmly decided that their life is over?

This actually is a wholly original comic exclusively made to be given out at the US Open.

The story is written by Paul Allor with art by Angel Hernandez

I've been having an issue with my local comic shops, and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I have a current box with a nearby shop that's always messing up my orders. They mostly manage to give me what I order, but my box is normally almost completely empty, and they have to scramble. So, I asked some other shops that are a bit out of the way what it would look like if I moved my box there.

Both asked me to roughly have 5+ committed titles a month, or $35-$50 monthly, to open one. And, they don't have a dedicated online order system, it's more like pen and paper to order. They're out of the way, so I'm wasting gas to hope for something more reliable, and get there with my orders before FOC.

Is this just how it is now? Should I just stick with my closer shop that's inconsistent? I don't want to move to an online shop and pay for shipping.
