If the consensus is universally good then there's a good chance i'll like it. Plus i feel that hunting down each and every volume will be a pain in the ass and a LOT more expensive so there's that hmm...

Ultimate Spider-man is probably my favorite super-hero comic run of all time. Whether you go omnibus or tbp it's definitely worth the price of admission.
Speaking of which, has there been any rumblings if/when they would release a volume 2 omnibus?

I'm in a Turtle kind of mood.
Just how good/bad are the TMNT comics? Worth picking up? Completely ignore them?

Batman Beyond Universe and the Justice League Beyond comic continues to be so much dumb fun. Moving up the list of my favorite titles to read. The Brainiac Invasion of Earth has been surprisingly tense and exciting and the new generation of heroes are just great; I especially love Danica Flash.

Fuck yes he is. I keep saying it, but this book is the secret best batbook, and I hope a new Robin is introduced via its pages and not Snyder's Batman.
Damn right. So hyped for Batman and Wonder Woman.
If you ignore them I will beat you.
They are fucking excellent. Best TMNT related thing I have encountered.

$33 shipped: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-Sp...8237612?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item27db9d352c
If that one sells out, there are quite a few others almost as cheap on Ebay. It's also really cheap on Amazon.
The only issue with that is that you'd have to complete the collection with the OHCs, some of which are pretty pricey.

I am also interested in TMNT where should I start?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 by IDW.
The series is currently up to #30, but there are a few miniseries, that weave in between.
I know they have all been traded. But you could get them digitally as well.
This link might also help you.

Only in comic books;
Amethyst, Empress of Gemworld transforms Kryptonian crystals into golems to fight against genocidal robots from space.

I agree!
Agreed as well. And I'll join in with the TMNT comic series love. It mixes both the old cartoon characters with the new as well as introducing new characters into the mix. Still waiting to see if the Mutanimals make an appearance.
I agree very much. Yes, I do keep saying Ultimatum is the "end" so to speak, but I have read through all the way up to Parker's death. And I was pleasantly surprised how well that was done. Even how they treat JJJ after Ultimatum is great, that wouldn't have happened in the main series as far as I know, even now in Superior.

Working my way through Rachel Rising volume 2 - just finished issue 10. I read one issue per sitting because so much unfolds and I find I need to let it sit before moving on. Watching the pieces fall into place, though, is fascinating. I suppose it could be categorized as a horror mystery?
Korupt, it's too bad your wife isn't interested in participating in these threads because I would love some RR discussion. It's a series well worthy of attention.

Yeah the JJJ stuff is prob my favourite of the whole run. The stuff with peter diving in the water and Jonah watching him, gives me chills whenever I think of it. Even the death arc was amazing I thought. Big tears at the end. He died like a fucking hero, I loved how small scale and sad it was. Just a bunch of dudes beating a kid to death, it was hard to read for me.

It warms my heart to hear that. I'll check out the interview after work.
I checked it out. More
ivy is great news. I love their relationship. I'd love to see Catwoman at some point but doubt it because she is wrapped up in Eternal and whatever muck Nocenti's writing.

I tell her she should sign up.
I wonder what the are even going to do with Joker at this point.
He has to get his face back sooner of later. (This us where they reveal that the faceless Joker wasn't even the real one or some nonsense)

Yeah, I said it before, but Ultimate JJ definitely is the Superior JJ as he was allowed to grow beyond being a stick figure. Slott did new stuff with him by making him mayor, but ultimately it's mostly a change of venue. Ultimate JJ feels way more like a genuine human and was able to see how much of a dick he'd been.
Does she did the new Harley book?
Kind of wondering what they are going to do with him as well. Maybe it's just up to Snyder to use him again. I'd love to see him in Batman and....
Yeah I'm ready for someone else to write the Joker. Snyder was ok, but it didn't really grab me. And I still think the faceless thing is a really stupid idea.

Omnibus doesn't cover the entire series.

Omnibus is only issues 1-39 IIRC, series hits issue 150 or so. If you want to continue with the series you have to look else like trades.

Hmmm but it DOES collect the regular issues from the beginning on up to a certain point without interruptions correct?

I think, if Tomasi is in it for the long haul, he'll definitely get around to joker, and man, how rad would a Gleason Joker be?
In line with the Batman & Friends talk,
I wonder if Erin is being set up as the next Two-Face. Her origin certainly supports it, and the facial scarring, which really should have been way more extensive, I feel.

That is correct.
The poorly titled Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Collections are also a great way to get into the series at a low price.
