topdollar - That's when I started reading All-Star Squadron regularly too, with the Ultra Humanite story! Good times! After the discussion of Infinity, Inc., last week, I went on eBay and bought a complete run, except #14, which was Todd McFarlane's first mainstream comic job. Had to buy that one separately. Always nice to have a complete collection. Who's your favorite Infinity Inc. member? I always liked Nuklon. Cool name, cool mohawk. Also liked when Mr. Bones joined the group. |

I've been grabbing Legion of Super-Heroes from the Levitz-Giffen run when I can find them cheap on Shopgoodwill.com. It's hard to believe how big the LOSH were before Crisis and John Byrne chipped away at it.

I used to really enjoy the massive LOSH even if they were sometimes repetitive in terms of characters.

Probably Nuklon or Silver Scarab. I stopped reading after the first 10 issues, so I don't think I ever read anything with Mr. Bones. Looking forward to reading the entire run and seeing where it went. |

I just got this new book called Weapon X by a kid named Barry Windsor Smith. Ever heard of it?  Classic from 1991 originally serialized in Marvel Comics Presents. I just can't force myself to read anything new from Marvel. I've heard good things about Immortal Hulk. Can anyone confirm? Speaking of Barry Smith, if you haven't checked out his graphic novel "Monsters", it's worth a read. 360 pages and 35 years in the making, it's definitely his magnum opus. |

I liked Immortal Hulk quite a bit. It's a body horror take on Hulk and feels like Swamp Thing at times. Also, Monsters was fantastic. Did you get the Gallery Edition of Weapon X/ |

Speaking of Barry Smith, if you haven't checked out his graphic novel "Monsters", it's worth a read. 360 pages and 35 years in the making, it's definitely his magnum opus. Immortal Hulk is... good. But by modern judging standards, I'd change that to better than good. It is an example of modern comic writing. A two or three issue story stretched to five so it can be collected in a trade paperback and then stretched longer because it's better than anything else the company is publishing. It, at the very least, does something different to the character. Al Ewing is a competent writer that infuses a David Cronenberg body horror element to the monster side of the character(s). Maybe the best the character has been written since Greg Pak's Planet Hulk run. If you have a decent library in your town, or can get the collected editions through inter-library loan, it isn't the worst way to spend a few nights reading. |

How much did you end up paying for it? I think it was $30-$35 with shipping. I got the bulk order Saturday, and it's a total of five issues from the run, instead of only #14. I have a message into seller to figure out what's going on. |
