            It Is a good event so far, the main series is going to be 12 issues long with an additional six different tie ins each month spread across the other marvel ongoing series (Avengers, Uncanny Xmen, New Avengers, Wolverine and the Xmen, Secret Avengers, Xmen: Legacy and Avengers Academy) turning out to be quite the commitment!!

    So my Comic Book Club’s book of the month was American Vampire Vol 1. has any one read it and what did they think?

    • Profile picture of james bowerbank
      James Royal replied 1 year, 2 months ago

      No I was actually tempted to give it a try when I was in local shop last week. Is it good?

      • Profile picture of james bowerbank
        james bowerbank replied 1 year, 2 months ago

        I really enjoyed it, i’m a huge Vertigo and Stephen King fan!! its very cleverly done as Snyder does the main story and Stephen King does the main character prequel story each issue has a part of each story!

    What are you going to be picking up this week. Batman #6 and DC Online #23 for me.

      james bowerbank replied 1 year, 3 months ago

      I’m poor so no books for me this week :(, The only singles i’m collecting recently are X Sanction and the soon to start Xmen vs Avengers and Key of Z generally everything else I pick up in trade

    What are your thoughts on the marvel graphic novel collection? 2 trades a month for a tenner each, seems like a deal to me!

    • Profile picture of james bowerbank
      James Royal replied 1 year, 3 months ago

      Felt like once I started with it that would mean months of paying for it… so decided not to bother.

      • Profile picture of james bowerbank
        james bowerbank replied 1 year, 3 months ago

        I signed up for the following reasons a) because I hadn’t read 95% of the books in the collection b) because your average paperback trade costs you between 10 to 15 quid and these are hardbacks…seemed like a win win situation!

    How is everyone doing with the New52? I’m really enjoying Action Comics, Superman and Green Lantern. But my favourite so far has to be Green Arrow!

    • Profile picture of Anthony Richardson
      James Royal replied 1 year, 3 months ago

      I’m reading batman, detective comics, Batwing, swamp thing, green lantern and Justice League.

      But so far i’ve enjoyed Batwing and Swamp Thing the most. Think the artist is changing for Batwing from issue 7 so will see if that changes anything.

        I was never a huge DC fan apart from Vertigo stuff and Batman. I’ve recently read a few Green Lantern books (secret origin, Rebirth and No Fear) and Green Arrow (Quiver and Sounds of Violence) At Christmas I had some present money that was burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to pick up big volume that houses all of the new 52 no 1′s and I’m…[Read more]

          Loving detective comics, slowly catching up, superboy was quite intriguing but batman and robin with the new robin i found a little tiresome….

        Anthony Richardson replied 1 year, 3 months ago

        For some reason I am completely addicted to Action Comics. I must have read #1-4 about 50 times now. But one that I am also enjoying that took me by surprise is Legion – Secret Origins. I never knew DC could do legitimate sci-fi (I don’t count superhero stuff in general as sci-fi)
