The thought of more Six-gun Gorilla from Spurrier and Stokely has me giddy. Please make it so.
So, I just came back to comic books after a long hiatus and first I had to catch up on Spidey... ASM# 700 - WHAT IN THE FLYING FUCK!!!! Seriously Marvel, what was the point? I guess I'll avoid the new Spidey altogether and pick it up again when "he" is back, because, obviously, he will be back, it's a matter of time. I wonder what else Marvel has in store for me...

Oooooooooh some great stuff there.My winter reading material just arrived. Come at me, snow.
But then you would miss out on Miles. Miles has been awesome.
Different series, bro. He mentioned Amazing not Ultimate Spider-Man

Okay, comics-GAF, I once more need a hand selecting a holiday gift for my increasingly hard to shop for friend.
He now pretty much owns all the big Batman stories I can think of except I guess Year One Hundred, which is a definite possibility. That's supposed to be good, right?
Superman-wise, he's read All Star, Red Son, and Kingdom Come off the top of my head.
I'm thinking now that I can't think of any Flash trades he owns. Any good options there?
Also, has any of the recent Deadpool been particularly exceptional? Deadpool used to be one of his favorites, but he got burnt out a while back when the character got overexposed and I don't think he's picked up anything since... I guess about when the whole Deadpool Corps thing was starting up.
He's been a big fan of the newest Daredevil run, and likes the Hawkguy that's in the style of the first trade at least (it seems to be alternating now? Between more serious and the same old fun?), and he definitely likes the run with Cyclops' team (AKA the "Cyclops is right" thing). Oh, and the new Thor run has been to his liking.
He has a pretty sizable collection, so it's getting harder and harder to pick out neat new comic gifts. Mostly looking for new-ish stuff, as he seems to have trouble getting around to reading stuff like Essentials (I think he still likes them, just tends to put them on the back-burner+they're kind of bulky). Oh, and definitely needs to be reasonably available for purchase, haha.
So yeah, if anyone could help me out that'd be greatly appreciated.
FINALLY.
Tradd Moore on the left, and Felipe Smith (the writer) variant on the right. Looks good!
Sorry if this is a bit bumpy, but if anyone could help me out with this that'd be super awesome.
Teenage Ghost Rider aint making it past 12 issues, but I do enjoy some Tradd Moore
The Goon is one of those books I've had the first trade of for forever but never cracked open. One of my friends is way into that book.Great books this week-
Saga #16
Black Science #1 (Fucking delivered and I can't wait for the next issue)
Sledgehammer '44 (Continues from the last 2 parter, I want this character in the next Hellboy movie)
Transformers RiD #23 (Still not liking the format, butJames Robert's parts were great as always)wtf Metalhawk?
Rat Queens #3 (It all makes fucking sens now)
The Goon #44 <IF YOU DON'T READ THIS FREAKIN' BOOK ALL YOUR HAWKGUY COLLECTION CAN BURN! BURN! IT HAD RICHARD NIXON, FRANKENSTEIN F&$%ER GO READ THIS NOW!
Also in the end Eric stated that he's planning on continuing the main story in the form of minis, which is fine by me
Hawkeye HC or Revival HC both have first 2 volumes.
Edit: death of the family has a cool cover and dust jacket. The dust jacket is jokers face and when you lift it he has no face just muscles . Yuck.
Chew hardcovers
Black Beetle hardcover
You mentioned flash. Anything with art done by manapul will be fucking BEAUTIFUL at least. I've enjoyed the new 52 volumes a fair bit.
Older stories-wise, mark waid's stories were loved by lots of people, but I have no idea how it's been published/ how available it is, cause I've yet to go trade-hunting despite peoples' recommendations.
Animal man by Morrison? Swamp thing by Moore?
Is he only interested in superheroes? I'm sure GAF has billions of Vertigo and indie recommendations if non-superhero books are an option.
Maybe the Hellblazer books? Magic-wielding con man/ professional asshole deals with supernatural threats. They've been reprinted from the very beginning recently.

Invincible Ultimate Collection Vol.1 by Kirkman, Walker and Ottley. It's a love letter to the superhero genre while at the same time stays fresh with every chapter.
Off the top of my head for Flash:
Mark Waid wrote the series in the 90s, still holds up IMO.
Geoff Johns' run is good too
Grant Morrison wrote 2 Flash TPBs along with Mark Millar
That's it off the top of my head atm ^^;
Confused question
Anyone knows what is Marvel trying to do with the new generation of Inhumans after the terrigen bomb was activated? Does this have anything to do with Fox having the rights with the X-Men franchise?
Yeah. They are going to be a lot of confused people. I think Fraction is off the book. It wouldnt be cancelled if it was just Joe Mad.Confused question

How is Sandman: Overture? Is it on par with the original series and how long is it supposed to be?
Just picked up Dream Hunters at a comic shop Black Friday sale and it was awesome. I read the series, but before today never read any of the spinoffs.
He definitely likes Moore's Swamp Thing, though Animal Man is definitely a good option I hadn't thought of. And he likes more than superheroes for sure (he's picking up and liking Saga as it comes out, for one). Is Hellblazer worth picking up in its entirety? Like, is it the type of series where starting from the beginning is a good idea, or is it better to start midway with a particularly good arc?
I finally cracked and bought the Wonder Woman bombshells statue from tfaw.com, while I was there I also preordered the Harey Quinn one and the Bruce Timm B&W Harley (I know some people here wanted that one and it's $64 there)
I love the wonder woman ant lucia art more than I'll ever love the statue though. I really love the pin up style to be fair.
