    USM was my favorite title when I started reading/collecting comics in March 2001.

    Here is what I could find off hand.  I have a few dozen more copies of early issues around somewhere.  I would buy multiples of most issues.

    I bought the art from Spencer Beck's website not long after issue #7 came out.  I tried to buy a few other splash pages on his site when new issues came out, but the best pages were always taken by the time I saw them.  Here's a close-up...

    Love Ultimate Spider-Man. :luhv:

     

    P.S. - I did successfully flip a few copies of white USM 1 for a good profit back in 2001/2002. :whistle:

    I hadn't heard of this series (haven't read any new comic series since 2011).  But this recommendation from VikramK in the Invincible series thread caught my attention.

     

    "I buy everything Robert Kirkman writes. 

    I’d recommend the following if you haven’t gotten them:

    - Firepower - IMO - shaping up to be better than Invincible"

     

    A bold claim.  So as an Invincible fan I had to check it out.

    Just finished the prelude comic and I'm intrigued.

    Batman 181 (1st Poison Ivy)

    Batman Adventures 12 (1st Harley Quinn)

     

    These 3 books just belong together. The first appearances of 3 of the most important women in the Batman Universe. So, let's see those Ladies of Gotham sets. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

    Just watched the first two seasons in the last two weeks.  Never read the comic, but the show is entertaining (albeit very dark for my tastes).

    So now I've started reading the comic.  Ten issues in.  Entertaining but very different from the series.

    INVINCIBLE Animated Series - Amazon (??)

    Let me start by saying I am a BIG Invincible fan.  I read it in TPB form and would re-read from start to current volume every year.  It is my favorite superhero comic series. <3

    I am very happy that this series is being turned into a cartoon for all to enjoy.  Overall I am very pleased with this adaptation and looking forward to more.

    However to be nit-picky, some of the voices don't quite work for me.  I picture J.K. Simmons in my head when I hear his voice and he doesn't look anything like Nolan.  I thought Cecil should have been cast to an older actor and I always thought of him having a Southern accent.  Eve is my favorite character and the voice is pretty good but not quite what I invisioned in my head.  Allen the Alien is another favorite character and a laid-back Seth Rogen doesn't really work for me.

    Yeah Kav.. :baiting:

     A thread already exists. 

    What made you decide to promote AOL with a repeat thread?

    You find one of those free trial discs lurking in the back of a junk drawer?  

    tumblr_mq96ahQqqS1svqurmo1_500.gif.c5fc5eb6cff247744be17fa7301c57c3.gif

    I still have a few of those discs (sealed).  And I still use my AOL email (since 1995).

    :smile:

    I remember when Metropolis sold a 4.0 Action #1 for $200,000 and it was decried as highway robbery (of the buyer) in the GA forum.
