Robin ain't dead. Been the only consistent thing in the dc universe since they buggered about with batman and "killed" him


I'm guessing a staged death to take him off the stage and away from the gaze of his mother and all

Screw that!!

Title definitely dropped now then.

Been looking through & think I'll drop Teen Titans as well as that's been getting pretty weak lately too.

My recent few bits....

That batgirl series is mint, i love reading it from time to time. Love the artwork on it.

I think the same team did a robin annual or mini series as well but cannot remember details from memory.

It is a shame all marvel is $3.99 but I suppose you do get the digital version to use as well if you can but I would like to see a return to $2.99 but its very unlikely at the moment.

Soundwave

This is why I'm dropping almost all my Marvel titles now.

$4 a time & the way they pump them out is just too much.

So I'm going from...

Thor
Hulk
New X-Men
Cable & X-Force
Avengers Assemble
Avengers
Uncanny Avengers
Guardians of the Galaxy

Down to just...

Avengers
Uncanny Avengers
GotG

Should make things much easier to manage

I'm also going to be dropping a couple of New 52 titles as well so should be getting cheaper all round now...more money for Transformers Masterpiece figures

Yeah, read it last night, very good. I think I will track down the Robin Year One now as well - I didnt know it existed until I was searching Batman GN on ebay and the GN was there - its OOP, and went for about £35 I think? I then saw the whole series up a week or so later - I think I paid less than a tenner inc postage.

I bought the Knightfall book as I dont have all the crappy extra bits (I do have the Showcase editions and SotB) but dont think I have the Bane special or some of the Azreal bits that have been made into the newer releases.

I was reading on a website that its far better than its last incarnation, but still missing a few key issues such as the bit  but does include other smaller arcs that wrap up the whole story.

The Spiderman comic is a reprint (1967) of the 1964 Amazing Spiderman 16, a comic that costs around £130 in FN condition. That reprint which includes a few other comics of that era cost me £7 for a FN  version. I bought it for the Daredevil appearance (around issue 3? 4? of Daredevil as he is in the yello costume and the single D)where Batmans back is healed!

Looks like they are planning to kill off Wolverine...

Just hope it's proper dead & not comic dead where he'll come back in a year or so's time like everybody else seems to.
I mean lets face it Comic dead isn't really dead is it??

If it does happen & he stays dead I'd be over the moon...without a doubt he is the most overrated comic character in the history of any universe ever.

Really never seen the appeal, the over saturation of him has always wound me up.

Fingers crossed it's real dead.

Hope your wrong soundwave

Has any marvel character ever been killed off and stayed dead (only recently got into comics so don't know all the major story lines, i don'tr mind spoilers)

Soundwave

Only Uncle Ben & Gwen Stacy

That said DC is no better...Batman, Jason Todd, Superman have all died & returned

It's stupid if you ask me.

That said apparently Wolverine is dead & has so far stayed that way in the Ultimates Universe so who knows.
