Nah, I got into Walking Dead way late. I think they had seven or eight TPB volumes out when I started reading. That's still getting in pretty early compared to where they are now, though. Early issues of TWD are worth bank.

Yeah, that's a few bucks. The TV show really drove up values because there was a huge influx of people that started reading the books.
This is an example from one of the DC editors on how the new logo could work on their books:

I kinda like it, it's less intrusive than the other design.
I think we'll like it in the long run.

I wonder if it'll keep going up after the tv shows all die out?
It's gone down a lot

It's okay. Yay from me.
Don't think I'm gonna pick it up

Wow I missed this post and this wave. Wow.
I would get out while the getting is good. When the show blasted the fuck off out of nowhere it would sell at auction for 5-10k. Now it is just a constant state of being like Madden or Call of Duty. The fandom is there but the influx of hype is over. The only Walking Dead thing that is rising in price is the Michonne statue, because that actually was a limited run. Rick statue struggled a bit so it's going to stay pretty much at the $300 range (even though he is way cooler than the Negan one) and Negan had a slight burst of popularity because of the artificial cap, but scalpers bought damn near every one of them and they all threw their figures on eBay at the same time so the price is soaring right back down toward $300.
The next big comic price explosion is Saga. All it needs is a show or film and that #1 will easily hit that $5k+ mark for a moment.

Just imagine it as Ms. Marvel with more boogers.
Zombeen will probably sell it for $1500.

Screaming "I HATE YOU" in their first encounter is the biggest tell ever
Are you trying to convince me by using a character I don't like? Lol
Hi everyone. I've been interested in manga for quite a long time but never got into western comics and I finally want to start.
Have to admit it's intimidating, there seems to be so much out there, but I suppose it always feels like that at the beginning.
So what's some good stuff that you guys have been reading? (Bonus question: what are some good comics with female leads/heroes?)
Thanks for the help in advance, hope you guys don't mind me asking a lot of questions!

Welcome aboard the good ship comicgaf
Never fear, we'll take good care of you and your moneyAre you interested in cape comics or non-cape comics?
If capes, do you want to dig into Marvel characters, DC, both or neither?
Are you more interested in completed stories you can pick up and read from beginning to end or current stuff that you can get a monthly dose of?
I knew it!

For good female leads, Ms Marvel is the best ongoing I've read. Waid and Samnee's Black Widow is shaping up to be something special too. As for overall best books, Vision's my favourite of the books hitting the stands at the moment. I'd also recommend Darth Vader if you have any interest in Star Wars.
Hey! Welcome to comics! It can look intimidating at first, but realize that everyone starts somewhere, and all it takes is one book. Luckily, you already have an idea of what you are interested in so you're already on the right track!
If you're looking for comics with female leads, and you already have a predisposition to manga, why not try Wayward:
It's a book about a Half Japanese/Half Irish girl dealing with all sorts of shenanigans, and the art is glorious. You can check out book 1 right now which collects the first X amount of issues and is relatively cheap!

I'd say cape, both Marvel and DC, and I'm honestly okay with either current stuff or completed.

Oh wow thanks, I'll definitely check this out.
Thanks so much for the recs!
If you're interested in Cape, Marvel has quite a few wonderful female-centric books on the market like Miss Marvel, A-Force (which is relatively overwhelming for a new reader), Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Spider-Gwen, Gwenpool, And Squirrel Girl.
DC also released a cute book called Prez which I think you would really enjoy! It was pretty funny.

Got it! I will be more help with Marvel stuff but there are some DC peeps who should be along shortly to help you check out their books. I'll be along with a long post as soon as I can throw it all together...

Here's a good starting guide from Zombine which can help point you in the right direction.
As for recommendations, I'd say Ms. Marvel, and Hawkeye by Fraction/Aja are great places to start.
And I've said it before, but when I have a moment to myself I'm going to go through and update the start up guide. It's outdated by a year but still has some good stuff on it.

DC-wait for rebirth
Marvel- spend 10 dollars on marvel unlimited so you can try all the books for free then buy the ones you liked.

Welcome! I can do some DC recs for you
Gonna try and keep things more recent, let me know if you're willing to try their older stuff.For female leads, I'd look at Starfire, Batgirl, and Black Canary. Black Canary and Starfire are both pretty short, so you can just start at #1 for those, but Batgirl changes pretty dramatically part way through. If you want the light, hipster-ish Batgirl, you'll want the Cam Stewart/Babs Tarr issues, and if you want something darker, the Simone era is for you.
Past that, into the more general subject of "crazy good books," Grayson, The Omega Men, Batman, Midnighter, and Martian Manhunter are all surpassingly excellent.
