Another Request!

[starsandsea]

I'm starting to make a habit of this, LOL. This time I want recs, please! Recs of good comics, of trades, preferably, mainly of Batman and Superman and Justice League titles (I've got nearly all the JSA ones), though I'm willing to try Robin and Nightwing and Batgirl if there are any good ones, which is perhaps showing my ignorance, and thus my need for recs! :p

I want good comics, and try to stay as far away from anything Miller or Miller related as I can, and I also will not read anything that has children and/or major characters dying, since it's my philosophy that if I don't read the comic where they die, they aren't dead to me!

So... has any of that made sense? I'm not sure... But, basically, are there any good comics that you think I will like? Please let me know! :)

Did you see the scans of it in scans_daily? I follow lucean's posts religiously and buy the books I like that s/he highlights :P

Yep, I saw it there, but I have vague memories of downloading and reading it, lol. I follow their posts too! I want to buy those books, but... no one wants to sell them here! Not even Amazon, woe!! But I'm going to the comic book shop tomorrow, so I'll have to see what I can find! :D

I bought the first Manhunter trade but I haven't been able to get myself to read it yet. It seems.. very serious! but I've heard it widely recommended -Wake likes it, and you like it too, and my brother just told me it was good as well!

Yeah, from what I gather after the first trade it gets better, but I do have to say I mainly read it for Obsidian, lol. He's so cute! :P

Oooh, you should read Brave and the Bold! I can really rec The Lords of Luck - that one's so much fun. Hee, Batman v The Legion of Superheroes! :D

Hmmm, what else... well, I don't think I have to rec JSA to you, lol. But my favorites from those would have to be Prince's of Darkness, Lost, and Black Vengeance - that one's got a really fun story where the legacy members of the JSA - Stargirl, Michael, Pieter, ect - have to travel back to the 1950's, and stop the JSA from disbanding.

What else... Batman: Turning Points is good! That's got really good Batman and Gorden stuff. And the Dini trades, Detective and Death and the City. *ponders* And Tales of the Batman! That's got a awesome story of the Arkham inmates playing baseball, I think, against the Blackgate inmates. :p

As for non trades... well, Gotham Knights, at least the first part of it's run I really like - BatClan, whoo! :D

For Superman... well, All Star Superman is awesome. And Birthright is fun too, even if I don't agree with some of it, lol. *does not have many Superman trades*

And, um, yeah. That's it, I think. :p

Is the Lords of Luck a storyline from The Brave and the Bold? *notes it down* And I had forgotten entirely that Obsidian shows up in Manhunter! yay! another reason to keep buying the trades, then X)

I don't have any of those JSA trades! I will look for them too :) Of the JSA trades I particularly liked Ghost Stories and Honor Among Thieves. I really like Icicle/Tigress! awww, they are adorable!! X)

I will look for those Batman trades too! The Arkham story sounds so cool!! X) I love the rogue centric stories!

I liked Birthright too, though I wished that Batman was around so hard! it would have made things easier for Superman to have a friend in the business!

Yep, the Lords of Luck is the first 6 issues from the current run of Brave and the Bold. I want to get Manhunter trades, but my comic book shop only has the second one, and I want to get them in order. :( I'll have to see if Amazon sell them... Oh! And I got New Maps of Hell! My comic book shop had it, and I was so happy. :D

Ghost Stories is really fun! And I really liked Honor Among Thieves too - they were both some of the first JSA comics I got. :)

Oh, I really wished that Bruce was there in Birthright! *huggles Clark* He really needed to have a friend who was a hero in that one. *pets him*
