I purchased a Masterpiece line Star Wars Anakin Lightsaber replica (with the motion effects and all) for 75$. I would have snatched it for 100$. Had buyer's remorse for 2mins before I turned it on and swung it around like a drunk Jedi.

See, if I don't buy this I will just buy something else I don't need. So it doesn't really matter

The cheap bastard thing to do would be buy it, read it, and sell it back online. I will not do that, however, because I love to keep my comics (especially nice crisp graphic novels that look sexy on my shelf)

The cheap bastard thing to do is read it online. The creators still get paid if you buy it and sell it.

Well yea, but for me it's just a given that I like to read things in print. I just don't like reading comics on a computer, and the thought of reading actual books on a kindle pisses me off.

I paid 45 dollars for the watchmen hardcover. That's the most I've spent. Not much compared to the omnibuses.

I sold a variant Headless Spawn cover for 89 dollars that I bought for 3 bucks. I have another copy that I might put on ebay.

Bought the Bone: One Volume Edition for something around $50. It is 55 issues in one massive collection. Wow. Currently going for like half of that on Amazon.

Has anyone been reading the Batman comics lately? Specifically Detective Comics and Batman, if so how have they been?

I've been catching up on them as of late. Not quite caught up with the Return of Bruce Wayne/latest issues, but they have been pretty good. Detective > Batman

That's what I was figuring. I was reading an interview on IGN from back in October with the writer of Detective and it sounded pretty cool in theory.

I got the hardcover of the first Batman & Robin trade, but I don't know what's been going on after that.
Mainly because I thought the batman lost in time stories were lame. |

I seem to be in the minority here, but anything Grant Morrison has written with Batman in the past few years has been pretty bad. Well, not terrible terrible. Just not very good. Highly overrated.
His status quo that he created (Dick and Damien) has allowed other writers to run with it though and turn out some of the most interesting Bat-Stuff in years. |

IMO Grant's Batman has been the best Batman in years and his Batman stuff is the stuff that I look forward to more than any other comic arc right now.

Detective Comics has been great since it got new people on it from skimming through it, but I'm not reading it/buying it. Maybe I'll download it or buy it in trade if I run into it for cheap. |

I use to go to this comic shop that apparently had no problem selling rare variants like normal comics..or rather, they did not know what they were actually worth. I got a bunch of rare limited variants such as the Iron Man #1 with the actors, An Astonishing X-Men annual and some Secret Invasion and Dark Reign stuff for normal price. I haven't sold any of it yet and probably won't.
I have this thing that sometimes I see something awesome to buy and I go "beh..ill just sell it if I feel bad about it." I never end up feeling bad about anything. |

Spawn #200 was very sub-par and I bought 4 different covers (one of them being a 1:10 cover) to maybe sell 3 of them.

So after 40 issues, Buffy Season Eight is officially over with. Pretty crappy throughout.
There will be a brief hiatus, and then there will apparently be a Season Nine, which is promised to be "more down to Earth". |

All caught up with my Bat-related stuff now.
I gotta say, two issues in, Batman Inc is the only Grant Morrison-Batman stuff that I have loved. The actual Return of Bruce Wayne was pretty meh. |

So, DC just announced 14 tie-in miniseries (three issues each) to their upcoming "Flashpoint" event. That is pretty ridiculous.

That strikes me as pretty extreme.
They seem to be pretty vague about what Flashpoint is about - all I can gather from the teasers is that it sounds like some sort of alternate timeline type deal. |

If they are as good as the infinite crisis tie in mini series, I would not care.
But they won't be. Also, wtf is going on with Fantastic Four? The latest issue is the last one? |

I hate how the companies whoreout the tie-ins. Every now and then there is a couple of good ones that are worth it and add to the story. At times, you have to read the tie-ins to understand the full story. I read the whole Final Crisis and I thought it was horrible. A friend let me borrow a bunch of tie-ins and the story became more tolerable. Just ridiculous with all the tie-ins tho.

Batman Inc. rocks my socks off.
Flashpoint should be interesting. Also looking forward to the War of the Green Lanterns. Sometime in June there is a Red Lantern ongoing starting too. That should be cool. |

not surprised about wizard. I mean, with the internet, the magazine became kinda worthless. Sure, it had cool content but when it came to rumors, reviews, etc it faced the problem all other publications face, the internet. Will be missed. sort of. Had not bought an issue in like 4 years.

Read through the entire New X-men series, finally. Fucking phenomenal book. Pretty depressing though. Gets pretty fucking dark around the time X-23 joins up.
X-23 is an excellent character btw. Also read her mini series stuff, and they are all great reads. Much more complex and interesting character than she seems on the surface. Goes to show that good writing can make a blatant wolverine cash-in a very enjoyable character. I actually like her a lot more than wolverine, tbh. |

Also, as far as Flashpoint, I believe it's about the Reverse Flash time traveling with his reverse Speed Force and screwing up the timeline. All the tie-ins won't be necessary, but I'll probably pick up the ones that look interesting, like Deadman and The Flying Graysons, and theirs one about Abin Sur.
