haha, yeah.  I'm more confident on the Spider-Man front because I bought up a bunch of 70s and 80s back issues (along with a scattered few from the 60s that I could get at a good price).  On the bright side, I lost interest just before the god awful clone saga, so none of that's in whatever's left.

I only finished Atlas Shrugged because I was stuck in Siberia with nothing else to read.  Even then, I skipped over the hundred page John Galt monologue at the end.  Damn was that a painful experience.

In theory, I have a metric crap ton of my old comics in my mom's basement. Unfortunately, the basement flooded a few years ago and I've been way too scared to see if anything survived.  So, maybe I can pass them on my daughter, maybe not.  If they've survived, hopefully she likes Spider-Man and Adam Warlock and…

Your comment about the comic strip collection in the living room makes me think of my own living room, where my graphic novels are all on the lowest shelf, right next to the area my daughter is most likely to play in.  She pretty much leaves them alone right now (much more interested in pulling things off a different…

I don't remember pre-ordering books, but every elementary school I went to, along with my eventual middle school, would have periodic Scholastic book fairs, where they would take over part of the gym or a corner of the library or something.  And there would be all these books and I would need them all.  But I…

I loved the Grey King.  I was even more excited when I realized it was part of a series.  Which I then proceeded to read in the most ridiculous order, based entirely on what was available at my school library and the local bookstores.  I remember finding getting around to the first book and being strangely…

My daughter's only 2, so I haven't really been able to go full scale on the introducing her to stuff I really loved as a kid (there are far fewer picture books in my all-time favorites than there are chapter books), but I'm psyched for when she'll be old enough to appreciate Roald Dahl, Lloyd Alexander, Susan Cooper,…

What's the paper quality like?  My daughter is sometimes a little overenergetic with her favorite books and accidentally tears the page.  $20 isn't so much that I couldn't just replace it later (assuming they don't randomly go out of print), but would be nice to know if the pages were at least decently likely to hold…

A few weeks ago, I was at the library with my daughter (2), who found a Carl Barks Donald Duck anthology… in French (the peril of our local library being the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec).  She was insistent that she wanted me to read it to her (she likes the old Donald Duck shorts from the 30s-40s), but all I…

@avclub-eb573591cef285c12701571987b08381:disqus The Lucifer series is pretty interesting, and definitely gets into territory previously off the table for DC.  But it was written in the past thirteen years, starting several years after Sandman had finished up and just before Preacher ended its run.  Perhaps more…
