Would it be too nerdy if somebody started off a comics/superhero thread? It seems Skinful, Dave Cahill, Peg Leg, Broken Wing and Terenure Jim are among the number of comics readers on here.

Re: Batman Live
I also condone this product or message... We could just retitle this one... ?

Re: Batman Live
Agreed on the potential. I saw this advertised in the Odessy Arena in Belfast earlier this year and trifled with the idea of going but I think it would have been car crash tv, so to speak. Seemingly Spidey isn't doin too well on the stage either.Peg Leg wrote:But it had such potential!!Skinfull wrote:No responses huh? So... can this be the new random thread?

+ 1 on the re-title. I'd also vote for a humours teeshirt thread (pictures and website recomends) to be started for the silly season who's with me?Skinfull wrote:I also condone this product or message... We could just retitle this one... ?

Re: Batman Live
On the comics theme, and despite my cynicism last week, I picked up the 1st two issues of Flashpoint which is the DC reboot thing. It's a 5 issue miniseries and it's clear that it'll end with the reboot rather than it being the first steps in the reboot universe. Well, clear in that plotlines would be very limited otherwise.
Flashpoint is, naturally, spread across 17 gazillion titles over the next couple of months but it seems a bit of a waste if they're just going to go back in time and reset everything.

Count me in. I'm looking for recommendations as i've only recently gotten back into comics. Was a big Punisher fan when I was younger.RoboProp wrote:Would it be too nerdy if somebody started off a comics/superhero thread?

Downloaded the comixology app for Android and am currently working my way through the Legends of the Dark Knight series. Really enjoying it. Favourite so far is the Prey series with Hugo Strange is my favourite so far.
as a side note, looking forward to Strange now in Arkham City.

Do they charge for the issues on the app or how does it work?

I have that Prey storyline at home along with a hundred or so LOTDKs. Surprised it never made a TPB as it was easily one of the best storylines.
Following Dave's subtle recommendation I picked up the first volume of Starman. Good stuff.

Re: Batman Live
They charge per comic on comixology, which i've no issue with. Each LOTDK comic comes in at $1.99.
Does anyone know if Starman is any good?

I've no problem with that either. I was just curious as to how it worked.ruck wrote:They charge per comic on comixology, which i've no issue with.
I may have recommended this before but if not Fables is really good.

Re: Batman Live
Just looked up Starman on Comixology, they only seem to have Starman Volume 2.
DC - Would I be lost if I started with that, or is would I be ok? I think it's the original Starman's son is forced into the roll, but would i need the history of the first?

Nope,you can read it without knowing anything about Starman at all. In fact, its the best way to start because its so utterly utterly brilliantly written.

Re: Batman Live
But, but, but, volume 1 is where he (reluctantly) takes on the role and says he won't be wearing the costume and his enemies gather....
I knew nothing about the old/other Starmen when I read it and, though it mentioned past enemies, there was no back story needed.

Starman - Ted Knight - 1940s on- member of the JSA - no associated volume numbers
Starman - Will Payton - 80s reboot - unconnected (until mid-volume 2) to Ted Knight - called Volume 1 by DC Comics
Starman - Jack Knight - son of Ted, brother of David - called Volume 2 by DC Comics
The one you're reading is the same one I recommended to Ruck. Its really good, isn't it.

Re: Batman Live
Sorry, confusion is my fault.
I have Volume 1 of the collected editions of Jack Knight as Starman, so it's volume 1 of volume 2.
