    Most memorable comic book moments

    Reading JLA #1 felt like reading a What If? or Ultimates title. Just seems strange. Not sure what I really expected as someone who"s never really read much DC anyways. Green Lantern meeting Batman was funny though... "you"re not just some guy in a bat costume, are you?"

    I"m enjoying this Uncanny X-Force arc a lot, mostly beause I am in the minority that loves the Age of Apocalypse world. - Looks like as a result of the arc Archangel may become a big X-Men villain? He"s basically turning into Apocalypse, and has assembled 4 horseman at the end of the current...

    Sorry man. I used to work at the AMC 6 that is (was?) across from their Metrocenter location when I went to the Art Institute in 98. Wasn"t buying comics at the time but was neat to go in and hang out. Great atmosphere, great people, great store.

    Not sure any AZ comic readers in this thread, but found out that Atomic Comics closed its doors yesterday, that"s shitty If the name sounds familiar to others, they were pretty well known as far as comic shops go, and was also the name of the comic shop the characters in the movie Kick Ass...

    I"ve got several titles I"m interested in and will add to my pull list initially, but will probably torrent the rest. Any I like I"ll probably pick up physical copies of and add them to the list too. McFarlane made a really good point about having your whole universe release issues the same...

    Big events have checklists like the above you can Google up ([event name] Reading Order may produce better results), however for the number 1"s, just buy whatever is interesting and keep buying (or downloading) the next issues and go from there. As far as I can tell they"re not an event...

    I am not even sure why I am buying half the books I am picking up on Wednesday. I cringe seeing half a wall of Fear Itself tie ins and then 1-2 still end up in my hands as I walk to the register. War of the Green Lanterns seemed kinda cool. Liking the Green Lantern part of DC more and more...

    Just finished reading Blackest Night and Brightest Day.

    I buy no DC (downloaded and currently reading through Blackest Night though) and will probably pick up several of these number 1s, the digital combo of JLA I think it was, and probably download a few to see if they"re worth buying before adding them to my pull list. I"d just download them...

    It just seems like they"re doing so much that we"re going to get a beyonder/infinity gems level "make it like it was" and a bunch of stuff will revert to being OK.

    lol, hadn"t read Herc yet because I was behind, that"s hilarious though. Really happy with his title so far. Another I"m liking is Moon Knight. Kinda bleh on Fear Itself too. Summer long crossover that feels way too slow and way to fast in parts. I am not sure why im bothering with some of...

    Yeah, better exposure + sales/TPB = success for digital comics IMO. Otherwise it won"t grow beyond the number of people using the apps now and won"t get people who pirate to stop. If I could subscribe to say, the X-Men, Avengers, Green Lantern, Spider-Man or something like that, for like...

    Didn"t notice how short Age of X is, and now it feels like it"s going to end as it just barely gets going. Not that it can really go anywhere, it"s not hyped to be any big or lasting thing like Fear Itself. That"s also why I"m disappointed in the surprise at the end of the last Avengers...

    Yup! Enjoying Age of X until the WTF? at the end of the last issue also. Kinda the same at the end of the last Avengers, sucks that it won"t amount to anything since there hasn"t been a new event hyped centered around the infinity gems.
