Happenstance

Ignoring the 4 manga at the bottom which I couldn't be bothered to edit it out, this is everything I bought over Christmas in those digital sales 😆

I've never really managed to get too far into Age of Apocalypse. No fault of the comics, it just never seemed to happen. I own the big omnibus so maybe I'll get back to it soon. Currently reading some McFarlane Amazing Spider-Man at the moment though digitally so it'd have to be after that.

I was never a fan of Flashpoint, mainly because it led into my most hated era of DC.

Been reading some of these over Christmas and it's really reignited my love of comics. I was still buying certain omnibus' but hadn't read many of them lately. It's very tempting to buy a load (and when I say a load, I mean like £200 worth...) from the Kindle epic collection sale and build up that side of my collection again. One I would recommend people read is Superman: Up in the Sky. It's a modern book but not set in any particular continuity and is an excellent book, really getting to the heart of who Superman is and what he means to people.

Bought it again myself in the Steam sale, I never played much when I had it on Playstation for whatever reason so I started it again today.

I kinda like it, feels like an old school football match when stuff like this still went ahead.

Great job by Fulham to get that win over Chelsea and give Liverpool more of a comfort buffer at the top.

Bought some more with a Christmas voucher 😆 A lot of it just ended up being me wanting to have the DC events available to read easily so rebuying them. Superman: Up in the Sky JLA - Vol. 1-9 Zero Hour Crisis on Infinite Earths The Final Night Legends Invasion! Identity Crisis Final Crisis Blackest Night Flashpoint The Flash by Mark Waid - Books 1-8 The Flash by Grant Morrison & Mark Millar The Flash by Geoff Johns - Books 1-6 Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) - Vol. 1-3 Batman: The Dark Knight Saga

Should be an interesting one. I'll watch it when it comes to streaming. I refuse to go see Nolan's movies at the cinema as long as he refuses to learn how to mix sound.

Oddly enough that's what I've got open right now, I'm just re-reading the first arc and yeah it is really good, much better than the mainline Spider-Man books these days.

I've got it in tpb and really enjoyed it which is why I wanted to pick it up again. It's just a shame that it had so many delays and Geoff Johns was on the way out by the end as I really liked the ending and where it left the DCU, pretty much fixing the New 52 properly but by the time it finished they'd already started to take other books another direction so most of what Doomsday Clock did was forgotten.

I've read it once but because I've never liked Frank Quitely's art it was hard to get beyond that so I decided to give it another shot. Finished buying some more. I think this should do it for the moment. There were others I wanted like the Cassandra Cain Batgirl series but as I've been out of the loop for so long I need to find out what's a re-release and what isn't. Annoyingly a lot of these books seem to have stopped around 2018 even though there was more to go. Anyway I'll just list the rest instead of posting a shit load of images: Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka - Vol. 1-3 Aquaman by Peter David - Books 1 & 2 Kingdom Come DC: The New Frontier Supergirl by Peter David - Books 1-4 Doomsday Clock: The Complete Collection Batgirl: Stephanie Brown - Vol. 1 & 2

Ok maybe not as good for my wallet as I thought. I hadn't realised that it's not just Superman books that are about £1.50 each but all DC books. Too good of a deal not to take advantage of so I think I'll probably end up getting a lot more!

Trying to make an effort to get back into digital comics so I grabbed a few that are currently on sale. Obviously I was highly influenced by my Superman trailer hype but £1.50 each is a lot cheaper than £60 each for a physical omnibus 😆

Brilliant first half. Obviously not happy with Spurs scoring so many but thankfully at no point did you ever think we wouldn't just come back and score another.

Rewatching trailers like this is always dangerous for me and my wallet. It's got me looking at what Superman omnibus' came out since I stopped collecting those...

Thankfully I get Paramount Plus included for free with a Sky Cinema subscription so I never had to pay. With the amount of Star Trek I watch though I probably still would have.

Just finished watching the final episode of Lower Decks. I'm gonna miss that show, it just got Star Trek.

I think its a promising start and has me more hopeful for Superman than the DCEU did, despite liking Henry Cavill. I do think they've added too many characters, feels like they're falling into the same trap of trying to build a Marvel style universe too quickly again but we'll see how it turns out.

Lol yep I had the exact same reaction. I need to pause it on Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner as well as that looked a bit too comic accurate and cheesy on the flash we saw.
