I'll be out of town for a long weekend, no Batman Day activities for me. Bummer. That reminds me, I won't be around here for the Friday festivities because of the travel. So have fun and keep it clean, people!

I have to make tough calls to clear out some room on the shelves. It was fine but that wasn't enough for me to keep it.

It can if you want it to! I like a lot of his work, I just rarely want to go back and reread much of it. Except Swamp Thing. That's one I contemplate rereading all the time. I think that's my favorite Moore work.

Just yesterday I gave away my copy of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1. I figured I haven't reread it in, what, fifteen years? So it's gone.

I've long pretended he retired years ago. It's been nice to only remember his work from the first half of his career. I highly recommend it to all of you.

I need to catch up with that book on Unlimited. I take it it's pretty good, then?

Cool, I will definitely check that out then!

I think so, yes. Did Ellis write that one? If so I'll have to check it out.

And for anyone with Marvel Unlimited, they recently added all of the Marvel OGNs from recent years - the Season Ones and also the Starlin Thanos stuff plus stuff like Avengers: Rage of Ultron and X-Men: No More Humans. I definitely want to read that last one and I'll likely try out a few of the Season One books.

Exactly!

I also love a cartoony style for superhero comics, like Mike Allred, Doc Shaner, Alex Toth. Something about their style just makes me smile. But I do still love a more realistic style as well, but when it's done with flair and a distinctive artistic voice from the artist. Like the current art team on Wonder Woman -

My favorite current superhero series, or at least tied with Black Widow. The art is mind blowing.

Easy: She-Hulk!

I'd read some of the run years ago but doing the full read through so far has been nothing short of amazing!

I'm currently reading through the Perez, Wolfman New Teen Titans as DC releases those in trades. They're fantastic! So I don't really want to pay attention to DC's current Titans line because I just don't think it'll compare. I know, I know, that's a very "get off my lawn" sort of statement. I'll own that, that's cool.

I just found the first omnibus for $56 at Instocktrades and promptly threw it in the cart and hit "submit order." BOOM. Free shipping was nice, too.

You've got me seriously contemplating selling off all my trades to partially finance those three omnibuses. Do they collect from the series relaunch in 1975 all the way up to, say, the Paul Smith era? I'll head over to Amazon and check too.

Well of course! When you eat the pizza with the wings, you dip both and then slide into a serious food coma.

Hot pizza dipped in cool blue cheese sauce is to die for.

I've been doing a combo - I have most of the Claremont/Cockrum/Byrne/Smith years across various trades and Masterworks, then I have an Essentials with a big chunk of the JR Jr. years, and then I moved on to reading about 30-40 issues on on MU. Now I'm reading Inferno in trades—that entire crossover has just been
