Popular Post BA773 Posted June 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Someones on this forum have already met me and know my project but this topic is to share to all the people on this forum intersted by collecter story. So 6 month past after had saved money since 1years, i started my comics collection. This is a really specific project, the idea is to collect entire series post crisis (1987) until the flashpoint (2011) but only of my favourites charachters. After a lot of negotiations, hours and hours of research on Ebay, to find everytime the better deals. I pratically finished on may the first guys with who i started, the boss of all, the guys who has the greatest number of keys and famous runs: THE BATMAN. I actually have 283 issues on the 310 (between 404 and 713) and i have almost every keys! I absolutely wanted to started with batman because its the most expensive to complete and now i can relax Just few days ago after a lot of questionning between me and mei finally put the money on the table and took the path with the man of steel: SUPERMAN. I buyed to a really good price the first 100 issues from the volume 2. (I choosed one series from all because its just not conceivable to have more than 1000 books of superman in my house LOL. Im going to read the others on digital to follow the story. And because like i say i already collected the most expensive charachters now its not a problem for me to scatter myself and start many charachters on the same time, its why i buyed too the 4th volume of Green Lantern, its one month now i started to being crazy with that Geoff Johns Stuff, look like so amazing with all this Lantern corps of many different colors and emotion, with a so great impact on all the DC line! For this one too i does a great deal and there is only 2 issues to complete the run! Im going to read the green lantern corps and the other derivative series and crossover online. So for green Lantern is started with the end but we can admiss Johns litteraly rebooted the story so its ok. I will buy the volume 3 too, this series is really cheap to complete so its not urge. Its really intersting me too, the Ron Marz Run seems to be a really under estimated, starting with the amazing story of Parallax, that make me hungry also! Hope you enjoyed the reading of this first post and follow my topic to know the next of the story and see pictures of this amazing road!!!

Phicks Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It’s always cool to hear other people’s collecting goals. I’m a completionist collector that keeps extending my consecutive issue runs for all the Marvel and DC comics from 1960-1980, in raw hi grade.

BA773 Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Yesterday i was able to put near 200 dollars to continue my collection, so is a terrible hesitation now, what i does? -Definitly complet my batman run? -Continue Superman vol2.? -Start GL vol3.? One of my friend have an online shop where its some very great deals an more of that there some sales on his website finishing this evening, so there 1 day to profit of it, so i have to take a decision now of what books i choose! I work with Ebay too, there is some very good deal on this place, i buyed like 75% of my batman run over there.

BA773 Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Finally i choosed the Green Lantern, an amazing deal, i couldn't leave them. A lot of the 1990 series from 14 to 137 (only 8 books missing) for just 200 dollars! 1.75 dollar by issue. “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my power, Green Lantern’s light.” So happy. Just finished my instagram page too (share the link this evening here) i will put every book i read into. i started yesterday to read my collection with a particullary special book, BATMAN 423! I hearded before about this one that is a very conventional story, just a famous cover. But i seems to be not difficult to be satisfayed, i just loved the story! this is the first comics i readed and im starting to realize how much is the best investment i does of my life, comic books is just one of the most beautiful art on this world. I LOVE IT!!! Artifiction and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA773 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 After readed 10 issues from the Alan Grant Run (RIP, only 1 years ago) and some of Jim Starlin too, i jumped almost 10 years later into the Doug Moench Run and honnestly this is just amazing! This second run of him are so underrated. I readed 539 to 543, 3 stories, 3 fights, Undertaker, Spectre and Faceless! The highlight defintly made me fall in love is this double page art of the Spectre in issue 541, just beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
