ABSOLUTELY yes. If you don't like straight-up superhero stories, those two Morrison runs were made for you. I'm the same way, not really into standard superhero stuff, but I absolutely love those two runs. Doom Patrol in particular is one of my top 3 favorite runs of all time. Just incredible.
COMICS! |OT| July 2015. Okay for everyone, unless you're a DC or a Spider-Man.

So you're saying that you did it before it was cool, eh?
what? when was buying comics ever cool
edit: somehow I lost one of my Preacher trades (but I knew that long before I did my recent scavange unfortunately), at least its the 4th one which only has the side story books. If I was going to lose one of them at least its that one >_>
You're in luck, because neither of Morrison's Animal Man or Doom Patrol are straight up superhero stories! Both are absolute must reads.
This isn't the right thread for you to question harley's beaver.

Totally in for Ennis writing a romance comic for Dynamite. But then Dynamite goes and does something silly. Atari comics? Wat?
I just want to understand
Man, I am really digging through all my DC stuff. Next up is Batman/Superman and after this its time to dial H for heroes.

Hey, he's keeping a pretty regular schedule with Trees. Issue #11 comes out next week.
are these full (well...full up to when I stopped) runs of Spawn, Witchblade, Darkness, Savage Dragon etc even worth anything?
not that I would have anyware to sell them here in Portugal nor am I interested in ebaying (the packaging alone would be nightmare), but im curious. Is there even a market for old comics?

There are collectors and whatnot, but on the whole, comics really aren't something you get into for the money. I mean, last I checked, a Spawn #1 was only worth like, $12 or some shit.

Bush years. He let the hate flow.
Depends on what you are selling, I guess.
On most books I bid on I dont really have competition, but when it comes to pricier books, it can be quiete expensiv.
thats what I thought. They arent even mint or anything (I mean they are fine but not bagged etc). Man I loved that shit when I was younger, I was big on Image (it was still image back then right?), maybe even more so than Marvel for a time.
Pretty sure none of them would hold up, maybe Savage Dragon because it was always less serious / grimdark
you just reminded me most of this Witchblade, Spawn and shit was bought in bulk from my "dealer" (I had no comic stores so I had to resort to a "guy on the internet"), not when they actually came out. I was really trying to get the full collections, I remember Spawn was the hardest ones to find
edit: Wildcats, Strikeforce, Gen 13...dat 90s Image
Because he has no desire to do more than six issues on work for hire cape comics? Not really that hard to understand at all
Ultimate Fallout.
Was his first series was - I have no idea. They changed the name like 100 times.

First solo series was Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, I think.
Is Ultimate Comics Spider-Man worth reading though?
I think I like the art style of what I can see in the preview pages on comiXology.
Not only is Heavy Metal magazine still a thing, Morrison is the new editor in chief.

Oh my oh my. They don't put out collections, do they?
I hate Lafuntes art. Far far inferior to the stuff that Bagley did.
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man is also for me the point where the Peter Part of USM became shitty. Death of... is good again.

Morrison curating an anthology could be gold.
Man, I wish him and 2000 AD could settle their differences.
Not that I'm aware of

It went:
Ultimate Spider-Man: 1-133
Ultimatum Spider-Man Requiem
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man 1-15, 150-160
Ultimate Fallout 1-6, with introduction of Miles
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol 2 1-28. 200 (Miles is Spider-Man)
Miles Morales Ultimate Spider-Man. 1-12
and Miles was also a part of All-New X-Men 31-36, which was good, and All-New Ultimates, which was not (or the art was so bad that I couldn't even tell if the writing was good).
Remember when Ultimate was supposed to be the easy universe?

It's all part of the same story. They changed the title a bunch of times, I think it went USM Vol 1 > USM vol 2 > UC:SM > MM:USM. It's all worth reading. Personally, I thought all the Miles Morales stuff was great whereas USM vol 2 started losing steam before the end.
Yeah, the book kinda jumped the shark after Ultimate Clone Saga.

The general rule is that the only things to care about are Ultimate Spider-man and Hickman's stuff. Everything else is secondary.
Be nice if he could rise it up from the ashes.

Huh. Well I guess he has to do something when he's not writing comics I'll either love or hate.

We should do a USM book club. I haven't read it in awhile.

That's not a bad idea.
BuddyJoeHooker, right?
Also, isn't there a guy who posts here sometimes with the username "Spider_Jerusalem" or something?

Holy fuckballs. Let me figure out how to subscribe.
I'll start reading now.
It would also be my first "book club". Maybe if would be more fun that way.

That doesn't mean the magazine is instantly going to go from what it is to something amazing.

No, but it means that my interest in it goes from "Nothing" to "Yo I'm Interested"
I'm willing to plunk down 20 bones for a years worth of potential magic and mayhem from Morrison.
