Ok, I wanna try Guardians of the Galaxy. Where do I start?

Better clear your schedule:

that stuff isn't all collected, is it? I'd think that it would be collected in a coherent manner at least considering the big push they're getting in other media
 
Not going to do all that. Where is a good jumping on point?

Well I'm still in the middle of Annhiliation but if you just want Guardians of the Galaxy I guess Annhilation Conquest or the 2008 Guardians of the Galaxy series. Or you can skip all that and just go straight to the "rebooted" Marvel NOW series:

That's the first trade. Just started a few months ago. It's a fresh start with a new storyline.
 
I posted this in the gotg thread. Everything you'll need :p

I'm so glad I picked these up in 2011 before they became rare. I'll probably pick up the hardcover...cuz it's a hardcover.

Everything in the top row will be made into a hardcover in May

You'll have to find a reading list (there's one on comicvine) because everything is in issue order not chronological order

The story wraps up in Thanos Imperative, but there is Annihilators by Abnett/Lanning which has Adventures with rocket & groot :D

I need to pick up that Annihilation Hardcover - I've had the Conquest ones for years as my old LCS was selling the set for 8 a piece a few months after they came out.

Also - might as well throw X-Men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire at the start of War of Kings on that chart.

Except for the art, it's bad. Don't do it. Wait for the re-release in August and start with Abnett's run.

It's been good, but I'm getting a bit tired of the prequel thing. I think I'm gonna bail for the time being and pick it up in trade. I'll hop back on the series when they're into a new story arc. Batman Eternal is tempting, though. Harper Row and Stephanie Brown. It's like DC is just throwing in everything fans want so they'll pay $3/wk. It's working.

Also, Messi... do you change your avatar every other day?

I have 3 of these. Catwoman, Batgirl and Harley. I am easily swayed to new avatars. But I tend to go back to old ones regularly. Like the sunstone one.

A SUPERIOR poser.

Eh, just worse all-round. His handling of Massacre was amateur hour buying
a mercenary army that just got bought out by an enemy
, tried to control enemies that ended up almost killing him, being to weak to fight off venom... It's almost embarrassing to read.
 
Getting:

Amazing X-Men #4
Uncanny X-Men #17
X-Men #11
New Warriors #1

I'm very worried about New Warriors since it's being written by that talentless hack Chris Yost. But of course they only released 2 lettered pages for the preview so I can't really tell yet.
 
Heh, my wife bought some book the other day knowing nothing about it. It was NYX Wannabe and she really liked it. Now she is a fan of the character X-23 and would like to know some essential reading and if she is in any current ongoings.
 
I'm seeing this Alex + Ada Chobits book on some lists... But every time I ask about it no one has read it??? And I look at a preview and the art is like amateur deviant art bad. Please tell me what is going on. Is this a robot conspiracy?

She was in the Avengers Arena book and has moved over to All-New X-men as of volume 4 I believe man. Had an ongoing and appeared in Kyle & Yost's X-Force I think. Probably a bunch of other stuff but those I know of.
 

Kipp

but I am taking tiny steps forward
No, I mean of ALL of that Cosmic Marvel stuff. I haven't really looked lately, tbf. I looked months back but it was mostly all out of print

There's an Annihilation omnibus coming out in May: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0785188894/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Hopefully they release all five of the Marvel cosmic events in oversized hardcover collections. I haven't read any of it, but I'm intrigued. And I like my OHCs.
 
Store got no Power Girl. This day is a disaster.

I know dat feel. Going to try the Book Depository. I did buy some physical comics today.

Got:
Avengers Academy: AvX
Avengers Academy: Final Exams (have the complete run of this now)
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Omnibus
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis HC
Saga Volume Two (I guess I'm going to be collecting this now)

Also found a brand new copy of Mike Carey's new novel in an Oxfam for €7. I bought SpOck and Black Cat figures from Marvel Legends as well. Expensive day.

I can't wait for y'all to get through Zero. The more Zero and FBP discussion we get round these parts, the better.
