Me neither :lol:

I'll be afraid to use QFT now. That's about as far as one can get from what I'd really be trying to say

Reminds me of those little old ladies who thought that LOL = "loving our lord" or stuff like that.

A little heads up.

For those of you like me who missed out on the first two printings of the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol 1, it will be coming up again in June.

If you want one, pre-order it right away.

Yes 99.99 is a lot, but its a beautiful oversized HC. I have gotten several of these in the last two years and they are worth every penny.

Worst case scenario, you can brain an intruder with one if need be.

I'm hungry for more cosmic comic stories! I need recommendations.

I've always loved the cosmic scene over at DC Comics. I'm a HUGE Green Lantern fan and have been for a very long time. I'm also a big fan of Darkseid and the New Gods. Superman's cosmic stuff has always been great. And I'm one of the only fans of Darkstars. Crisis on Infinite Earths was one of the greatest tales ever told, IMO. And anything involving the DC Multiverse I'm drawn to.

Over at Marvel I'm a big fan of Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, Quasar, Nova, and Thanos. The Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War are 2 of my favorite stories of all time. And despite everyone seeming to grumble about it, I REALLY like War of Kings.

So considering all that. What are some great cosmic comics that I'm missing out on? Stories that follow that same sort of grandiose storytelling style of the stuff I mentioned above?

I'm surprised it took this long. Will have to watch those again to ease the pain of losing Young Justice and Green Lantern:TAS

Definitely. I recently marathoned the first half Batman Beyond and enjoyed it even more than I did the first time. I'll need to find time to marathon the other half now that you've got me thinking about it.

Currently, I'm taking a look at my uncle's comic book collection after pulling it out of a very old trailer where his stuff was stored. He was afraid they were all destroyed by mildew and water damage, but most of them are still in surprisingly decent shape. I can't bag and board them for him because the ones I have are the wrong size, so I'm carefully moving them into new boxes so hopefully they won't deteriorate any more than they already have. I gotta tell ya, it's fun looking at stuff like "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane" and chuckling at the silliness of some of the stories.

Do you guys buy comics online? Or do you have a comic book store you go to? If you have an online source, who do you buy from?

I've kinda been wondering this too. There is a physical store I go to, but it's 30 miles away and I don't get down there as often as I would like.
