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.

I see Andy Kubert is the artist on that. Loved his art work when he drew the X-Men comic in the 90s.

Thanks for the recommendation. I may have to check it out.

Completely burnt out with gaming at the moment and so I have spent this afternoon/evening reading some TPBs. Sat and read through Flashpoint and I'm now reading Injustice. I forgot how good both of these are, especially Injustice.

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

It reminds me a little of the Age of Apocalypse, probably why I like it. I often like alternative reality stories. Its like the mirror universe episodes of DS9. They get slated by fans but I really enjoy them as well.

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.

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 😆
