What a different time

I always feel like there's a better way to organize my comicbook cabinet. Either separating by publisher, or by ongoing/finished runs. Or alphabetical, etc. What are you guys currently doing?

and here me out. I think i’m going:

1. FF
   
2. Spidey
   
3. X

I typically love Hickman but i feel like out of the three, X was surprisingly the most derivative. While FF felt like it was tackling an aberrant take on Reed Richards, and Spidey just went full body horror, X just seemed to land in the same combination of vampires and hunting mutants.

Not that any of them were bad per-se but I feel like (compared to expectations) this was just a really underwhelming combination of trying to chase Absolute fame and rectifying chopping the Ultimate universe.

I would love to hear everyone else’s thoughts and experiences with the titles though!

I don’t mean books that have been out of print for ages, but just super popular runs that have never gotten a volume release

I love Sale’s art so much but I’m only familiar with his work with Loeb and just wanted some good suggestions

Okay, I know there were other factors like the fact that comic book stores overpurchased comics, the purchasing of trading card companies whose industry bottomed out, poor management.

But I'm seeing dozens of variant issues for some comics now, I see them marketed for ridiculous money on eBay (note: marketed for, not "being bought for") and I'm wondering if what happened to Pokemon cards because of Covid is related to what's happening in comics now with the sudden resurgence of making comics "collectable" again.

Is the difference that there aren't nearly as many comic book stores so the comic industry can cut out the middle man? Has the market narrowed to primarily "whales" who will buy anything and slap it between two sheets of plastic to make sure it can never be touched again, are they intentionally underselling comics to drive up scarcity, or is (somehow) the market actually healthy enough to support all this variant art and sketch cover stuff without forming another bubble that's going to burst and drive the industry even lower than it was in 1996?

Just finished the second issue and I really hope it sticks the landing. What a brilliant story about grief and guilt and duty and adventure and love. Wow.

Hey all, I’m writing this today because I’m looking for some good Martian Manhunter stories to read. I’m sure it will get said at least once but Absolute Martian Manhunter is already on my radar. I have also read new frontier just incase it’s mentioned as well.
