Did any of you ever read Spider-Man: The lost years?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0785102027/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=ABFJGOQ2QYPL3
I'd really like to read Spider-Man again and Romita Jr. was always my favourite artist for the wallcrawler.

Got some comics at Free Comic Book Day down at Peotone,
and I wonder, does Free Comic Book Day increase comic book
readership or just give fanboys more stuff to collect?
Any thoughts or experiences?

The later I think. Most of the normal people or "normies" don't even know about Free Comic Book Day. Some people don't even know there's comic book stores.
I think moving away from newstand editions was the biggest mistake the industry made. I never would have bought a comic if I didn't see Spider-Man next to the candy in the check out line when I was a kid. You got to get them hooked when they're young.

My older brother bought his first superhero comic (Heroes Reborn: Iron Man #1) at a newsstand when we brought our cousin to the train station once. We were hooked ever since.

Sorry to take quite so long to reply; according to my friend Jamie - who is quite the 2000AD expert - it is indeed excellent.

I found out that my local shop could order 2000AD so I should be getting my hands on both soon without paying "sky high" air mail fees.
Thanks for remembering to get back to me!

After my displeasure with civil war, the let down that was WWH, and my disgust with spider-man's OMD/BND I had pretty much turned away from marvel. Cosmic still had me hooked though that pretty much petered out after Thanos Imperative and Marvel Adventures has always been a guilty pleasure but everything else 616 and Ultimate fell to the wayside.
I'm glad to say that's not the case anymore. Got convinced to read a couple of current storylines and the work that Hickman has been doing with Ultimate Reed and 616 FF is fantastic. Add in the fact that I'm very interested in Slott's recent spidey stories, and that avenging spider-man is awesome and it looks like marvel is back in my good books. perfect timing too as the new-52 hasn't thrilled me that much.

Finished rereading a few trade collections this week.
Flex Mentallo which is gorgeous, mind meltingly adly funnily wonderful, better than I remembered.
.. and, after a certain cameo, The Infinity Gauntlet which is surprisingly .... well.. kind of dull really. Artwork is quite nice, especially the Perez stuff, but it takes ages to get going really and then you just get the same thing over and over again. Whole affair feels very drawn out.
There's a couple of moments that raise a smile -- Thor being turned to glass and shattered and the various hero deaths etc etc -- but really that's almost so commonplace these days it doesn't really amke much of an impact. Not least as it's painfully obvious from the start that everything will be back to normal/as it was by the stories end.

Last saturday was Free Comic Book Day in Germany. I got myself Spider-Man and Justice League.
The prologue to Spider-Island was fun! Ramos is one of my favourite artists anyway, especially on Spidey books. Buuuuuut it's still the rebootet contiuity and I really don't know if I want to read that. I want to read more Spider-Man, but I boycotted the series after OMD.
First few pages of Justice League #1 we're pretty good. Then again, it is Jim Lee. A huge part of the relaunch gets released in trades, except the ones I'm really interested it like Morrison's Superman and Justice League.
How's the new Wonder Woman so far?

Spider-Island was ok I guess especially early on. Nothing to write home about though. Do you guys have Avenging Spider-Man over there?
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh yeah, saw Avengers movie. I think the hype ruined it a bit for me. It was good but I was expecting best movie ever or something like that.

Not yet, I think. Last big story we had was Big Time, Spider-Island is the next arc. There's going to be a Brand New Day-TPB coming out. I'm still not sure if I want to buy it.

Fine. Actually I was under the impression you'd read it already. Maybe somehow you'll end up liking it or someting.... In the mean time I recommend Avengers. He's not the star of the show but at least Spidey's in it.

So I finally picked up some Comics today at the Local Flea Market. I've always been a fan of spidey and ended up picking up quite a few of the ones from 1994.
Ended up getting Storm Warning (1-3) Funeral Arrangements(1-3) Web of Death(1-4) back from the Edge(1-4) and maximum Clonage (1-6)
for about 20 bucks.
Now my question is: What order should read them in? >.>

I want to order some stuff from England again soon, including comics. I thought I'd just get one more Deadpool classic book, Volume 6, but now I see there's another one coming. The last one, where I learned the truth about Deadpool's "wife", was okay, but it didn't exactly wow me. Now it looks like Joe Kelly's run on the character is over. Should I care about the other books at all?

That's when I kinda lost interest. I think becauase the jokes weren't very funny from the new guy plus it was just a good ending anyway. A while ago I read some random Cable and Deadpool trade. It was hilarious actually but I don't know what caused him to become the completely schizophrenic Deadpool he is now.

Damn, just seen a pic of the Lizard from the upcoming Amazing Spiderman film.. interest waining.
I'd been loving the new more bestial version in the UK Spidey comics (which is about 2yrs behind the actual comics themselves) and the look they have come up with for the film is just awful, well in my mind anyways.
