Mindless Ones, I think they're enemies of Dr. Strange. Last time I saw them was in Amazing Spider-Man 500, the Happy Birthday arc.

I approve. DC needs to publish more omnibuses.

Was his GL good? Don't think I've read any GL before.

The stuff before it went mighty morphing multicoloured lanterns, was very good.

So I've been using Marvel Unlimited for about a week and a half, and I'm pretty impressed. Sometimes it can take around 15 seconds to open up an issue, but once you're in, swiping through pages seems just as quick as Comixology. Maybe they could make it a bit easier to add multiple issues to your library at once, instead of having to go to each one and click add to library, but the library function itself is great. Brilliant value if you want to go back through Marvel history.

I wanted to go back through classic story arcs for Spider-Man, X-Men, The Avengers and Daredevil. While I'd been looking forward to X-Men and Avengers the most, I was pretty surprised by how much I enjoyed the early Spider-Man stuff, but what really blew me away was Miller's Daredevil. I knew it was held highly, but then again, I've gone through most of the highly acclaimed X-Men from the 70s and 80s and thought it hadn't aged to well, but Daredevil is amazing. Great characters, great pacing, and the art is AMAZING. Up until now, everything had just been your standard panels, going through the action, but this stuff really is art, and impressed me so much despite me having read a lot more modern comics.

Does unlimited have full runs of stuff or just the odd issue? Interested in reading the lines you mentioned. How much does it charge you in pounds? I know its $9.99 a month or $69 for the year, would be very good if it was a direct conversion of rates.

Original Sin #1 seems like this could be a good event for once.

Ultimate Spiderman #1 was pretty good, first ultimate comic I've bought in years. Not buying that last page though...

Its not going to be the real Peter is it? Clone/some doing of the Green Goblin?

There were like three clones of Peter left from the Ultimate Clone Sage and the Chameleon Twins are somewhere.

That Green Lantern Omnibus seems like a bad buy to me. If its the first 50 issues of his run it'll include the Sinestro Wars and Blackest Night stories which were very crossover heavy. If this book doesn't weave in Green Lantern Corps and the Blackest Night standalone series I wouldn't buy it.

They've got the absolute editions of those storylines for sale though.

Meh, the Johns run was great but the Sinestro storyline really neeeds the GLC to flow properly. Considering you don't seem to be able to get those issues outside of the Sinestro Wars trades it doesn't appeal.



That being said it appeals a hell of a lot more than Absolute Batman Inc which is one of other people bought options on the Amazon page. strawberry float that book. Only good for kindling.
