I Like Comics

[surfer99]

Felt like writing...

 

Just chillin on a Saturday night and had comics on the brain so thought I would write about them. It's been cool reading Tnerb's journals this month and seeing some great books, like that DD 7..even if it IS only a 5.5 haha. Just kidding, I would totally take that book in a 5.5 even. DD is a pretty cool character and Im sure Im one of the few who actually enjoyed the DD movie.

 

Lately Ive been buying fewer and fewer modern books and more and more Silver and Bronze books. Tales of Suspense has been my favorite with Captain America. Anyone else think Cap should have started his title at number one and Iron Man at number 100 instead of the other way around? Iron Man was on that book first after all. Oh well.

 

Ive also been enjoying Strange Tales with Nick Fury. I even picked up a crossover appearance of Nick in a monster book, cause you know I love crossovers...Creatures on the Loose 35. Havent read it yet, but lookin forward to it. Thats the problem with the older books...they cost a lot more than Modern books so I have to savor them longer before reading and filing them.

 

The last cool book I bought was from my LCS last week. Journey Into Mystery 107 featuring the first appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. Its only in VG but still nice for a reading copy. I wont go into it here, but Im sure Im not alone when I say that the only real Thor is the Odinson and the only real Cap for that matter is Steve Rogers. I will leave it at that.

 

OK thats enough writing for now. Gonna go read Iron Fist 12...that is a cool Cap story. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

What great bunch of books you mention here! It's got me all stirred up to start looking for and picking up some of these SA lovelies you're talking about!

 

Those two you show in the pic are neat as well. I think I'm gonna start keeping my eyes open for more SA goodness at these shows I attend.

You can't go wrong with Silver. Superhero Tales of Suspense and Tales to Astonish offer great collecting opportunities for less money than other Marvel superhero titles from the same time period. Yea , I wonder why they started Ironman and Submariner at issue one but not Cap. Strange indeed.
