Joss whedons astonishing Xmen. It's not only one of the best recent runs but also a great jump on point.

Andrea & Rick first, Dwight and Punk Zombie will be next week.
Punk Zombie, while cool looking, is a waste of fucking space. They have yet to make Tyreese or Abraham, and have already skipped to characters in the current arc.
hmm sort of want that zombie to hang out on my work desk
WTF

I think this is the part where I need to convince Korupt to get Great Darkness Saga.

What's that?
To follow up on my last post, don't think of the Fourth World as a physical place because it's not. It represents an era, the time of the New Gods. The Fifth World was to be the age of gods as man, hence
.
It's a shame
Darkseid being in Dan Turpin's body, Shilo Norman being the new Mr Miracle, the Super Young Team as the Forever People, etc.

Legion of Superheroes: The Great Darkness Saga
Yeah, well. It's also hard to recommend it to someone like Korupt, without saying what it is about either.

Wow that cover is pretty bad. DC should want people to go in cold

Sure. But how do you sell people on a 30 year old event without telling them what it is about?
Edit: I'd be in for the LOSH cold turkey. But Korupt is on a New Gods kick at the moment, so that is the angle he'd approach it from.

It's considered the best legion story ever. That was enough to sell, me on it
Man that cover kicks ass.

Seriously while I'm reading Final Crisis, I get on Amazon and look for Darkseid statues or figures. I'm a fan!
That book looks cool and I have been wanting to try some Legion, I shall get it in a few weeks.

Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender is amazing. It also leads directly into Uncanny Avengers so it's the best of both worlds!

It also be like spoiling:
being the villain in DnA legion run. Tho it happens early on

Early 80s Legion is cool, but once they rebooted them sans the Superman connection, meh...lost a lot of appeal and purpose to me. A string of relaunches and reboots with various middling levels of success, even that try-hard 9-panel grid post-Watchmen thing Giffen did.

Yeah it does. It's the bodies filtering through his hand that does it for me.
Yo, I like Waids' Legion. It went for something interesting that resonated with me as a nice alternate.
Yeah. Pretty much.

Walt dimensions Orion
Death of the new gods by Jim starlin(prelude to final crisis)
Supermans pal jimmy olsen
mark Waid and DnA runs brah
This is kind of it for me.
The first twelve issues of Waid/Kitson are legit and really the only time I've been able to stomach Legion. Even the DnA stuff I couldn't get into, tho Coipel was doing some cool stuff back then.
I think this is the first time I've seen someone talk about DotNG positively.

For anyone who wants more Morrison and The New Gods, I really, really enjoyed his arc in JLA "Rock of Ages". Great stuff.

Oh my goodness give me a statue of that Katana print. It's beautiful.
Yep its the series that came out a few years ago.
I'll have to look into Simonson's Orion, since it has the omnibus coming up. I might want to pick that up.
$14.49

So I forgot to mention it, but I ordered the Doom Patrol omni off of Amazon instead of IST because IST was having an issue completing my order. Amazon shipped the book in a box with just two air bubbles to protect it. One of the air bubbles had already popped from the weight of the book itself. So it had one little air bubble to protect it.
Luckily the book was completely fine. But I thought it was pretty funny when I opened it and saw a deflated air bubble underneath the book. It's such a night and day difference compared to IST.

I just couldn't trust Amazon to ship an omnibus. They just don't give a fuck. Hood to hear it made it though.

Hm. I'll have to add this to my next IST order.
Ha, Amazon has the worst packaging ever. You're lucky they sent it in a box and not an envelope.

Just bought the Jason Aaron/Steve Dillon omnibus for $70 on Amazon.
The Ennis/Aaron Punisher run is the greatest single crime run in comics history.

Oof. That could've ended badly.
I bought some used books online recently and they were sent in a box with two air bubbles as well and BOTH of them had popped (10-15 pounds of books tend to do that to thin pressurized plastic), but I also got lucky and they weren't damaged.
Glad to hear yours still made it all right.
With Morrison the answer usually is
"Because why the hell not?"
In Germany they send trades in little boxes but without any cushioning whatsoever...
I bought it on Wednesday.
Made my first foray into figures and picked up the N52 Orion today, only to get one with a busted hand. The post that attaches it to the arm is broken about 3/4 of the way through and his hand is just dangling there. Thankfully the shop is gonna hold their other one for me to swap out tomorrow.

Don't expect that to be anywhere near close in quality to the Ennis run.
Still pretty good, tho, even if it gets way too silly in a bad way at times. Very solid start.

I've already read it and own all the floppies. While it didn't reach the heights of Ennis' work, Aaron put together a solid ending for the MAX series. That and My War Gone By by Ennis puts a fitting cap on that whole MAX experiment.
NotTheGuyYouKill
Member
You should.
It's amazing.
But it will also destroy your soul and leave you a mere burned out shell of a human being.
Read:
Punisher MAX by Garth Ennis 1-60
Punisher: Born
Punisher: The Cell
Punisher: The Tyger
and PunisherMAX by Jason Aaron.
Punisher 61-75 are optional. Random stories by some crime authors, not bad.
From the beginning to the ending, I think it's one of the greatest runs in comics history. By the end, it covers roughly 100 issues over... eight or nine years?
Is this the one with the Russian fight? I love those panels. I may just throw it all on an order soon.
I need this.
I fucking need this
I'm sure it's pretty horrible to say that I'm 90s kid who had no access to the Disney Channel other than on free weekends. I couldn't appreciate that half as much as some of you.

For as long as I've been reading marvel comics (a long time); I'll totally admit I have never picked up a Punisher comic...ever.

No, it's after. It's basically a reboot that takes place in the real world instead of the Marvel Universe.
The Russian stuff was previous. You referring to this?
