I hear you, dude.
I've been a comic book nut since the 80's.
I hadn't bought anything in a long while, but after I got my Government Stimulus check, Let's just say I made up for lost time.
In the mail, I just received: Charmed Vol#1, Wetworks: Rebirh TPB , Gen 13: Wizard 1/2, Solo Avengers #1(1986), Extreme Previews '96, Gen 13: Rave, Wildcats #1 3-D, Gen 13 '94: Preview, Cable: Genesis TPB, Stealth Squad #4, Blood Hunter #1 Deathmate: Tour Book, Grifter/Backlash: The Kindred TPB, The Kindred #3 Signed by Whilce Portacio, Ultraforce: Infinity, Q-Unit Ashcan, Doom's IV: Wizard #1/2, Justice #1, Extreme: Tour Book '93, Deadpool: Classic TPB Vol#1, The entire run of Inside Image, and finally, Wonder Woman TPB By Mike Deodato.
I just love Deodato's art on his WW run.
I bought the Deadpool TPB, because the first appearance of Deadpool is worth a fortune and don't want to mess up the original copy just to read it.
The same goes for the Cable TPB.
Not to mention, I ordered some TPB's of my favorite X-Men story lines.
X-Men Milestones: Inferno
X-Men Milestones: Operation Zero Tolerance
X-Men Milestones: Phalanex Covenant
X-Men Milestones: Onslaught
Charmed: Season 10, Vo l#1 (For my mother, but will somehow end up in my collection.)
Soon, I'm going to order Absolute Wildcats, By Jim Lee. It goes for over $100, but In Stock Trades, has it for $73. They're dirt cheap.
I guess I've got plenty to read. LOL!
If you want to know about any of these books, feel free to PM me.
