Any suggestions for really good self contained stories ala Marvels or Earth X or Old Man Logan?

Nextwave

Vision

Howard The Duck(aside from a small Squirrel Girl crossover)

 

[BFIB]

Got the promo credit, any idea what it's worth? I see avengers vs XMen for$8.

 

[J_Viper]

I don't know what the hell Gwenpool is, but I bought it

Yep. Spider-Gwen was released for 5 issues, but then ended because of Secret Wars. It got relaunched a year later, starting over at #1 again, because Marvel has been really bad with constantly relaunching books.

Thanks for the heads up

So as far as reading order goes it's

Edge of SpiderVerse
Spider-Gwen Vol.0
Vol.1
Spider-Women
Vol.2?

 

[thebigmachine]

Dangit, just bought.

Spiderverse (For the Pagecount)
Wolverine Weapon X (x3)
Thunderbolts (x2)


This is after countless purchases Sat/Sun. Agree with others here, this thread is dangerous.

I'm the most disgusting x-nerd there is. I think I just bought about $100 worth of X-Books I didn't have. :|

That's a lot of comics to get crackin' on.

That's what I used it on and it worked fine.

Any of the 100 comics in the free promo link that Amazon e-mails you. Doesn't matter what the price of the comic. I was going to get the AvX collection for the value saved from the promo. Then I looked up reviews and decided to go with Planet Hulk instead.

Do these look good on the Kindle iPad app?

Use the Comixology app instead. Head over to Comixology, use your Amazon account, sync it with your Comixology account if you already had one, download the iPad app and enjoy.

This thread just has to die. I've spent too much as it is.

 

[J_Viper]

In regards to Jane Foster Thor, do I jump ahead to the Mighty Thor run, or do I need the two preceding volumes, Goddess of Thunder and the other one?

Yes, you need those. Another one of those books that Marvel relaunched after Secret Wars.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Fuck this sale. I spent way too much.

 

[J_Viper]

Thanks again!

 

[flaxknuckles]

No, you saved money on a ton of series

Spoiler

that you would have never gotten around to purchasing if they weren't on sale

 

[Fury451]

Hells bells, I'll go in with one last splurge-

Is the Yost X-Force (starting with Angels and Demons) standalone and/or good? Loved Remender'S

What are some specific Spidey runs that are recommended? Have Kravens Last Hunt already, just looking for a couple more modernist stuff that are short contained arcs if possible.

 

[Milkncooke]

Haul (so far) :

New Avengers : 1-4
Avengers : 1-4
Time Runs Out : 1-4
Secret Wars


Anything holes missing in story arcs?

Avengers and New Avengers had a crossover event titled Infinity and I'm not sure those issues are contained in the regular volumes.

Millar's Marvel Knights Spider-Man Vol 1-3

 

[BurritoBushido]

Any recommendations for self contained stuff that isn't marvel universe or star wars universe? Like any kind of solid, Watchmen-like one off or short series.

 

[Exis]

I pretty much am trying all the post-Serect Wars stuff and rebuying some things just for guided view, anything awesome I miss? I already had the vision.

Plus I ordered one of the new Fire tablets, cause really this is far more than the handful ofg titles I subscribe to on comixology.

Is it wise to skip the 5th volume of the Punisher Max series since Ennis didn't write it?

Somewhere, there's a marketer crunching data, trying to classify customers by the number of months/years of Marvel Unlimited they spent on this sale, and trying to figure what's the impulse buy sweet spot.

I'm in the (hopefully lonely) category of people who bought Infinity Watch trades.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Any Ghost Rider recommendations?

Please don't I need to stop.

Dammit. Looks like some of them are, but there's overlap.

I guess I need Infinity to get everything?

 

[exmachina64]

I've spent too much money, I might spend more.

all these people reading more Hickman books

Fantastic Four threads are gonna have a whole lot less "lol who gives a shit about the ff"

[Bernbaum]

This sale effectively ruined comiXology sales for me. No future sale will ever be as enticing as this. Treated this as a one-off opportunity to snatch up as much as I could knowing that it'll be a long time before I ever buy any back issues through comiXology again.

I've done the math and have saved hundreds of dollars.

 

[bemusedchunk]

Books of Doom was the first thing I started after buying a shit ton from this sale.

And it is amazing.

 

[Milkncooke]

You'll want it for two reasons IMO. First, the six issue Infinity miniseries does tie into the main story and you may get a little lost without them. Secondly, the story jumps between Avengers, New Avengers and Infinity and the Infinity trade should keep all of those chapters in order.

 

[J_Viper]

I'm looking through the samples of Bendis' All New X-Men, which looks very interesting, but the art seems to fall off a cliff after the fifth volume.

Can I just grab those first five volumes, or are Volumes 5 & 6 necessary?

Alright I'll pick up infinity and remove the other two volumes from my reading order.

Thanks!

Same. I will never buy back issues of Marvel's stuff off of Comixology or Amazon ever again until they do another of these sales even if it takes 10+ years. They need to at least make this a bi-yearly tradition.

Is this insane Hickman Avengers/New Avengers/Infinity/Secret Wars arc worth the headache it seems to be?

 

[Nelo Ice]

Well wish I knew this earlier but talking with Amazon now and looking like I'll be able to get a refund on Avengers 3-4 and New Avengers Vol 2 and I'll just get Infinity instead.
edit:Whew just got the refunds and bought Infinity.

Unless I'm missing something, avengers 3 is parts 12-17...while infinity starts at 14.

Meaning you'll miss 12 and 13?

If you're going to invest in an amazing Hickman ride, do the GOAT:

Brubaker Books of Doom
Lee/Jenkins Inhumans
Annhilation (vol 1-3)

Then Hickman's Magnum Opus:
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four vol 1-6
F4 vol 1-4

do you know if the waid/wieringo books are listed in this?

why you do this

Gah so guess I need to rebuy it lol.

edit: So for anyone that knows the insane Hickman reading order, is that all I'm missing?.
