Really, the only post rotj ones that are really important are the thrawn trilogy, new jedi order series, and legacy of the jedi series.

Didn't they kill off Chewbacca by dropping a moon on him? I remember hearing about that a few years back

Yeah, first book of NJO.

I mean, if they are going to kill off one of the main characters, I think chewbacca makes the most sense.

I suppose. Although Chewy's age makes him a candiate to just never die at all in the continuity.
I would imagine Han is boring and useless as hell in all of those books. Han's happy ending of falling in love with Leia and being married is all well and good, but I don't think anyone actually wants to see Han as a married man in stories.

Harrison Ford and Lawrence Kasdan actually tried to convince Lucas to kill him off early in Return of the Jedi

Before the prequels, the EU only dealt with the time after Jedi, and it was just an endless string of random and meaningless adventures with the main characters on different planets against new villains that seemed more science fiction and less like Star Wars stuff.
That's really when I formed my opinion on it, and for the most part I haven't looked back.
Now I assume they're doing all kinds of filling in the gaps.

Skimmed a few pages of the Batman Beyond series and it's pretty cool. They got a 'Catwoman Beyond' and we get to see Dick Grayson. Hope it ties up with DC Universe proper, it deserves it.

Didn't they already do that? Thought there was a Batman/Superman arc, where they established that one of the earths was the batman beyond universe.

For years they lolligagged on the status of Beyond's place in the DCU, usually resting on it's place in the DCAU (which is an alternate Earth of the DCU). The famous panel in that Batman/Superman arc, along with a shot in 52, made people ask if it was some other alternate future now (DCAU was otherwise never visited by Earth-1).

With this book I hope it gets cleared up, I'd settle for an alternate future.

I hope so. Wouldn't want it to be the main earth's future, as that would set history on a set path, so to speak.

Batman Beyond is turning into an ongoing after the current mini ends and he appeared in one page in Batman #700, but that might be an alternate version.

Has anyone else checked this out. I just bought an annual subscription for like 50 bucks american ( I imagine it as like around 70 bucks since I'm Canadian) but it's awesome, it has over 5000 comics on this thing, including things like x-men #1 and sit, some gaps in series but overall it's badass

I have done the online comic deal before.
To be honest, it does not work for me. I already spend plenty of time on the computer doing work, typing papers for school, etc. It's a cool deal for someone starting out or someone who prefers a cheaper alternative.
To me, there is something glorious about having the comic book in hand. That smell, turning the papers, looking at it up close, etc.

Oh I agree about physical books but that can be very space consuming. This is a great suppliment to a physical collection, allows you to read everything else you don't have room for.

You have inspired me to do the same. Which is a shame, because I have better and more productive things to be doing.

It seems I have a bunch of old Action Comics that would be worth $80 if they weren't all gnarly and destroyed.

Actually, continuing to look through them, some of them aren't completely horrendous. Some are "medium" at best.

Lol this cover. Superman throwing a city block into space. People: "Superman! Why are you doing this to us?" Superman: "FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!"

EDIT- I figure I should edit this post rather that continue to post.

Into some Superman comics now that would be $125 if they weren't destroyed.

- Superman #200: $140. Not wholly destroyed, but still in rough shape.

- Crisis on Infinite Earths #1: $16, and this one is actually in good shape.

- Teen Titans v1 #5: $180. This one would be "medium" if not for the fact that someone seems to have drawn a red diagonal line across the cover in crayon or something.

- Bunch of World's Finest Comics: $10-$12

- Bunch of Superman Family: $8-$12 (#200 = $14)

As much as I like physical books after almost 3 years of buying every Wednesday they are very space consuming. The Marvel sub is alright but I HATE reading it using their format. Downloading them as cbr files is MUCH better.

Eventually if they start doing better formats, I could see myself buying no more than 10 physical books a month and getting the rest digitally.

I want to buy more comics because there's some good stuff coming out but me living in an apartment with my folks and having just one room to store them... I'm going to unboard about 75% of them because honestly most comics get reprinted these days so I don't care about keeping every single one in great shape, just the special ones.

I'm over whelmed by all the stuff I bought in 3 years. I enjoy comics like "drugs". I get them, read them, enjoy them and put them away. A quick thrill but it gives me something to do and look forward to and enjoy and only certain shit is worth having in trades to reread or to catch up to what you missed or cool stories you can wait for and read at once.

I fear for the future. I feel like giving some of them away just to make space, I don't know I still have space but I spent like 45 minutes unboarding and putting together certain books (my collection is like a hurricane, I stack them in the order I get them in 3 different drawers and a few plastic bins from Ikea.

Long boxes are no good they'll look ugly in my room and cardboard attracts bugs and I have no room to put them anyway, same for the drawer boxes.

Damnit. Damnit.

I think I want to switch to half monthlies and half trades eventually.

I switched to trades two years ago, because I have six full long-boxes and was like "ok, I literally can't stack 'em any higher".

I miss my monthly comic books.

But I figured I would save space and money. I AM saving space. Money though... I think my mind was like "Alright, so I'm not buying monthly comics... so I'll just buy a monthly trade!"

So I get a lot of things I otherwise would not have bought in monthly form.

See, money isn't really the issue here- I mean sure if I was broke and living on Kool-Aid and popcorn, sure it is. But obviously I'd have more important things to worry about if that was the case.

I said that because I get 15% off, meaning I get to pay $3.39 for 3.99 books and and around $2.54 for 2.99 books, which is the main reason I have a list with that store. Now if I buy a trade that costs say- 19.99, I'll pay around 16.99- which is a few bucks here and there, which is good.

But the thing is, if I didn't go get weekly/monthly books I'd be so bored of waiting for shit to come out and be annoyed that I can't talk about it on comic sites without being spoiled....


But how does this sound- eventually I'll just leave around 8-10 books or less- depending on story lines at that time and just trade wait the rest?

Just gotta decide on what to wait for and what to read singles... mini's, ongoings, events... favorite books.. ect

Oh, I could get deals on trades and there's a store near the comic store that sells trades for cheap, I got 3 soft cover Blue Beetle trades for 7.50 each. Same goes for most soft covers usually in the 6.50 to 10 dollar range- I bought like 30 trades from there because the prices rock.

It's just they don't always have new stuff (they stock some popular new stuff and buy used and resell)


Just when the time comes, I dunno how to split my trades with monthlys cause I'd want to leave a few on the list to keep my discount in the store (15% anything there) and go trade for other books... just need to make a plan on what I could wait for and what I'd get on the fly mothly as long as I don't accumulate over 30-50 books a year, that's just like an 8 inch stack which aint much compared to accumulation of like 150-200 books a year.

It's actually not much compared to others, I spend around 60-70 a month, sometimes less. Some people spend like 60 a week

Just finished reading through all of Ex Machina. I had started reading it before, found it amazing, but for some reason didn't keep up with it. It ended recently, so I just went back and read it from the beginning.

Way better when you're not waiting for the monthly installment.

For the most part BKV did it again with a fantastic series. Still trying to digest the ending, though, and formulate an opinion on it.

Just finished Y the last man, and I am probably the only person on earth who didn't care for it.

The beginning was good, but after that, it never really hooked me like it did in the start.

What is the most you've ever paid for a comic or paperback?

I ask because I'm toying with the idea of buying a volume of the first year of TMNT comics, but even the most recent printing is over 100 bucks.

I just really want it and have for a while, and my major rationalization besides treating myself is that if I regret it for any reason I can just turn around and sell it and probably get the same $ back.
The other side of me is saying, that's a lot of money for a comic book.

I pay whatever for what I deem worth it. No matter the amount or whatever perception something has with the public. If for some reason a certain issue of Batman means something to me, I'll sell my soul if that's the price.

I'm not worried about the perception or what anyone thinks. I'm just legitimately on the fence about the price. I really want it, but I also don't want to buy it and then see a new print of it come out in like a year for 20 bucks.
I don't think that will happen though. It seems they just don't print them often.

It's not like I'm gonna go hungry for a week if I buy it or anything.
It's just that I'm torn on whether I want to buy this or spend the money on other non-essential items or means of entertainment.

Probably just going to shut up and buy it because I have blown the same amount of money in like 10 minutes playing blackjack
