Recommmend A Comic
I thought I would set up a thread for posters to ask for reading recommendations based on interest or help figuring out a comic that he/she is thinking about but cannot place. To start off I am looking for a story that has Hal Jordan and Wally West work together showing their relationship. What out there in comicdom showcases Hal and Wally together?

i recommend finish reading Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated. :lol:
you're SO close to the finish line!!!! http://www.placesandpredators.com/52/BatmanInc8b.jpg |
I will put it on the back burner for now. I still need to finish Batman#1 and 2 stories. Still have Hugo's 3rd appearance and the two stories from #2 to read as well.
I recommend Detective Comics #434 & 435 as well as Batman#276. http://comicvine.gamespot.com/detect...n/4000-112708/ http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_Vol_1_276 You know how to track them down. |
One of my favorite comics
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...e-complete.jpg I love it. And it's still breaking the top 10 lists for the New York Times best graphic novels. |

i may want to re-read a few parts of that issue before heading into #2? :) i'll definitely had to read those spook stories you recommended to me! thanks again for that! :D |
Has anyone read Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul(2008 )? I was wondering if it was any good? I have the run surrounding it but usually avoided story arcs that weave through multiple titles.

Damian, Dick, Tim, and I think Cassandra was in it... good story. |

I also think you guys should check out Scott Pilgrim if you haven't yet. It's an amazing series that gets better with every read. A perfect blend of comedy, action, romance, slice-of-life, video games, everything and then some. It's also one of my biggest inspirations, because of this series and others, I decided I wanted to make my own comic series one day, something I'm still working towards and it's all thanks to this wonderful series. Seriously, check it out. |
There are a pair of mini-series I am looking for opinions on, Spider-Man : Blue and Secret Wars.

Regarding the new Secret Wars, I think it consisted of a lot more comics than the old one and I never got around to reading all of the tie-ins some of them were pretty good, depending on what series you're into. Some of the effects of the new Secret Wars are still being felt, like the aftermath of Reed and Sue Richards' disappearance and Ben and Johnny's search for them through the multiverse. |

Also, what is Spider-Man: Blue exactly about? I know it has a reflection on Gwen Stacey, but do not know much else about it. Myconius, did you ever get around to The Spook stories? He truly is the most overlooked Bat Rogue. Anyone else who is looking for a comic or opinion(s) on one please use this thread. That is what it is here for! |

what era would you classify those as? Silver-Age? |

much of this i feel has to do with the audience. as i was reading those stories with The Spook, i found them very fun but i also had to really stretch my suspension of disbelief. some of the events in the stories were just really outrageous, to being near impossible. but i can appreciate and enjoy those types of wacky stories. many of today's comic readers just seem to want dark grim and gritty edgy stories. but you know as well as i, if they ever did bring The Spook back he'd just be redone as a slasher/psychopath. just look at what Tom King did to Riddler. |

I don't know about The Spook, but I think mysteries could be based around him, a lost aspect of Batman. I thought he could have escaped Damien considering his M.O. or even have become a true Spook, like Gentleman Ghost. Its high time for him to do something. If Calendar Man and even Kite-Man can be something why not him? I read up to Amazing Spider-Man#268 which ties into Secret Wars II. I did not realize it was only a year or so later. I think I will read through ASM#270 then go back and read Secret Wars. What are the thoughts on Spider-Man:Blue? |

trying to turn him into something edgy like a slasher or straight up murderer is a complete disrespect to his character. last good Riddler story i read was in the 2011 relaunch of 'Legends of the Dark Knight' it was a short story, but it did what it needed to. so MikeandRaph87, did you ever get to finish reading Batman Incorporated? http://www.placesandpredators.com/52/BatmanInc8b.jpg |
