Sweet! Well, I have my early pick (no it's not X-0), but I'm going to broaden my horizons a little more and post my pick tomorrow.

Great comic. It's a digital download and you can name your price. I did .50 just to see what it's about. After reading I feel it's completely worth another few bucks.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
Pick of the week 3-20
Even though I'm a huge Jason Todd fan I'm fully aware that his new series is average at best. There have been a few really great moments sprinkled in this run so far, but this week's issue is special to me. It's something that I personally have been waiting on for 10 or 12 years now.
So there may be better reads this month (Saga, X-0 Manowar, The Private Eye, and a few others), but this one is an instant classic for me. I hope you guys get a chance to read it.

Read it. Good pick. I usually skip this title. Be interesting to see how Jason evolves going forward. Did you read Nightwing? The art is horrible especially the faces. Ack!HardTI wrote:Pick of the week 3-20

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
lol the art is REALLY bad, but that will be changing next month too I believe (along with a new, and talented, writer). There was a good stretch in there, but ya this is terrible.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
Ya, bada, I read Nightwing. I don't know what is going on with these DC artists. I never used to pay attention to the art, but as I'm reading more and more its becoming obvious who the good artist are. There's a ton of bad artists drawing the Marvel and DC books right now. I guess that's what happens when your just milking characters and giving them so many books. How many bat family comics are there? (Too many..)
Who are your guys' favorite artists? I can't say that I have one in particular, but I really like whoever has been drawing Batman since the reboot and also whoever does Saga. Batman Inc is pretty excellent too. Fatale was great but I stopped reading that months ago.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
I normally pass on comics with bad art but in this case I wanted to see why Nightwing was relocating to Chicago and his reaction to Damien dying. A big reason why I lost touch with the X-Men for a while is the art for all those books was horrendous. With Marvel Now there is a huge improvement. Most of the Marvel Now books look great. DC has been lagging. Also a lot of times guest artist come in and you are kinda stuck with them if you wanna follow the story. Olivier Coipel is one of my favorite artists. Agree about whoever is drawing Batman and the two Spidey books too. The guy who is drawing Thor God Of Thunder is my favorite. Last issue was a guest artist but the normal guy is Esad Ribic I think. He is awesome. Like really awesome.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
Was that an each pick for you? I thought that comic was fantastic and would be my pick too.
Kind of off topic.. Do any of you keep up with comics as collectibles? It's really easy to make a quick $100-200 or so a month just flipping comics on ebay if you can keep up with comics that are hot. Last year was great with all of the new Image series. Thief of Thieves, Manhattan Projects, Saga, all of the new 52 #1 issues, etc were so easy to flip. Last year was the first time I tried this so I'm curious if that was just a fluky thing or if the market for comics is hot.
I have a bunch of Superman #1 first prints and Action #1s to put up right when the movie comes out. Anyways, it's just nice for some extra spending money.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
Need a little help, im needing to drop a couple off titles from my subscription list, and i feel like i should drop one of the batman books I've been getting, so if i do that, which one out of batman, batman and robin, detective comics, batgirl, dark knight and nightwing? Im still a ways behind, im only at the beginning of death of the family so im not looking for too much reason why, just if you think one has been going fairly bad recently.

Re: Calling All Comic Geeks!
I'd personally drop Detective and Dark Knight. Detective isn't anywhere near as good as pre new 52, and Dark Knight I haven't liked a single issue of. Although, with the main Batman series taking place well in the past for the next year I'm assuming Detective and the Batman & series will now carry the meaty stories. What other books are on your pull list?
