Discovered this and thought I'd do a double hit of childhood nostalgia.

I was only planning on getting the first one but it has me got me just curious enough to see where it goes I might keep it going for now.

I am reading Promethea at the moment by Alan Moore. I enjoyed the first issue, and am looking forward to reading the second one, later at some point. Does anyone else on here like the works of Alan Moore? His Literary works or his comic books?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, I read it last year and really enjoyed it. I should probably watch the animated adaptation at some point.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I quite like Alan Moore. As typical as it may be at this point, nothing I’ve read of his tops Watchmen, though I’ve yet to read Promethea.

Have you ever read anything by Jeff Lemire? I’ve yet to read anything less than outstanding from him, but his ‘Sweet Tooth’ series is a real diamond in the rough that I can’t recommend highly enough.

@Jimmer-jammer No I haven't read Jeff Lemire's Sweet Tooth series, I do like Promethea so far though, with regard to Alan Moore, actually next on my to-read list is The Life After, a quest through the afterlife with the main character in a Dante style role with Ernest Hemingway as his Virgil.

@TheBrandedSwordsman ha! Now that sounds interesting...I just googled Sweet Tooth and it sounds like they are bringing it to T.V. I’m both excited and disappointed by that. Hope they can do it justice. I’m gonna look into The Life After, sounds wild.

On the subject of Marvel’s Ultimate range though, I definitely suggest The Ultimates vol 1 & 2 and the early runs on Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimate X-men to anyone.

I was packing away all my comics earlier, and I've got The Ultimates and the first few volumes of Ultimate X-Men. They are good a can reccomend them too.

And I've got these on my tablet, along the whole Bloodborne collection.

@JohnnyShoulder I never read Superior Spidey though heard a lot about it (it was quite notorious), what were your thoughts on it?

Also, I’d be interested in the Bloodborne comics, are they done well?

@colonelkilgore Not read any of the Spider-Man ones yet and only the first issue of Bloodborne so far. The setup seems to be quite good.

@JohnnyShoulder I’m gonna checkout whether I can get a trade-paperback collection of all the Bloodborne comics… I actually haven’t read a comic in about 5 years but I do miss it… and I’m obviously a huge fan og BB. The story hidden beneath the games surface is class too, so I’d love some further information on it. I’ll let you know how I get on 👍

@colonelkilgore I usually prefer TPB's for comic books, but sometimes the prices digitally are too good to turn down, or just not available anymore in a physical version. I've got one which would have cost me about 80 quid to buy physically, but cost me about 20 quid on the Google Play store.

@JohnnyShoulder yeah I get you, I just checked now and a collection of the first three volumes won’t arrive til November (after I move house)… so I’ll have to wait a wee while before I make the order. £30 for the three isn’t too bad.

@colonelkilgore Think I paid that for all 6 issues.

@JohnnyShoulder aye… don’t know if we have our wires crossed but the £30 is for the 3 volumes as opposed to issues. If it’s anything like the trade paperbacks I’ve collected before the volumes contain around 6 issues.

@colonelkilgore Ah ok. And it turns out there are actually 15 issues overall.

@JohnnyShoulder so it turns out the collection of volume 1, 2 & 3 only releases in November… but you can just get them separately now. I think I’ll just slip it into conversation with the missus though as she’s always looking for good little Christmas gift ideas 😉

@colonelkilgore Yeah the single issues are a couple of years old by now I think. I was having look on Google play, and there are 4 issues per volume it seems, and there are separate stories in each volume.
