Amazing Spider-man Brand New Day Trade Paperback

Just finished reading Marvel’s Brand New Day The Amazing Spider-man trade paperback.  I have really become hooked on the trade paperbacks.  The art is in bright high-gloss formats and really let’s you see the detail of the artwork.
It was terrific, putting back some of the quirky fun antics of spidey really made me feel like the old spidey was back.  It has spider-man up against Overdrive and Mister Negative.  But best of all is the fantastic artwork and style of the red haired and quite buxum Jackpot.  It is a collection of Amazing Spider-Man #546-551, Spider-man Swing Shift and material from Venom Super Special #1.
A great – fun read and excellent art.  A nice way to spend some quiet time after work.

Anyone else hooked on trade paperbacks?

Collectible Comic Book Superheroes Isn’t Just for Kids!

 

 

Collecting superhero figures is not just for children. Many adults really enjoy searching out and finding original superhero figures from their favorite characters. They look online at places like eBay and other online auction sites bidding on original action figures. These action figures can be very inexpensive and only costs $5 to $10 or they can be very expensive costing several hundred dollars. The cost depends on how old the action figure is and what shape the action figure is in. Original figures are worth a lot more money if they are in good condition without any scratches, dents or other blemishes.

Superhero collectibles are more than just action figures that you play with. Collectibles are figures that adults usually purchase and leave in the boxes and do not play with. These type of collectibles are different than the action figures that children purchased at toy stores. The main reason is because these collectibles are not played with, there only purpose is to remain in a box on a shelf for display. So most children do not get into collecting superheroes until they are much older and no longer feel the need to play with the collectible superhero figures.

Comic book and superhero figures are more popular today than they have ever been. With more and more new movies coming out, made from superhero comic books, it is easy to understand why these figures are so popular. Every year millions of dollars are made from movies based off of comic book heroes. These movies are not just geared towards children or adults that like to collect superhero memorabilia; these movies are made for audiences of all ages.

Millions of people around the world enjoys superheroes both in comic books and in movies so it is no wonder that collecting superhero figures has become such a multimillion dollar industry. So the next time you’re in a toy store looking at figures from the latest million-dollar comic book movie, consider purchasing them and keeping them in the box so that you can sell them on eBay to one of the diehard collectors looking for that figure. You never know you might just make a few extra dollars.

Whether you enjoy collecting superhero figures or just watching superhero movies; superheroes are something that we all look up to. They can fly, or have super strength ,they fight the bad guys, and keep the Earth safe. Compare that to most of our daily boring lives it is easy to see why superheroes are so popular. Our children love to watch the cartoons, then grow up to read the comic books, and we all grow up to idealize the vision of superheroes in our society.

Collectible figures whether superhero or otherwise are an interesting way for an individual to show how much they enjoy a specific character.

The Marvel of Batman,s comic popularity!

 For people there are many different forms of reading material. These reading materials can be thought of as non-fictional and fictional forms of reading matter. In the fictional form comic books like Batman comics are a firm staple for people of different ages. Batman was first introduced to the populace by Detective Comic in their book number 27. The character of Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. As the latest crime fighter Batman was a huge success. For this reason DC comics released the Batman comics as a separate comic book title in 1940. Since that period Batman comics have remained a favorite. Batman brings a sense of realness to the fantasy world of super heroes. Many folks can relate, on some level, the the character that batman portrays. While the Batman comics have earned this crime fighter a place in the chronological record of fiction superheroes there have been many occasions where the character of Batman has been changed or revamped to fit in with the current trends and ideas. An example of this can be seen during the early historic period of the Batman comics. As with everything else there is an evolution of the original character. While batman remains true to his origin, the overall theme of his world has changed. As many of the comics of during the 1939 to 1949 period were depicted as pulp fiction the Batman of that period was granted many of the traits for that time. To make the character more realistic Batman Comics showed Batman battle his enemies as a vigilante using only his combat skills, his strength and his intellect. Different from the other superheroes Batman was not granted any super powers or special abilities. He was portrayed as a man who was driven to fight crime in his way but one who still respects the laws of his home city of Gotham. In many of the Batman comics Batman is shown as a silent and grim crime fighter who battles his enemies by himself. The mystery of Batman strikes the human populations curiosity. Who is this man? Why does he fight crime? Where does his passion come from? These are the fundamental questions that often times keeps us coming back. To make batman’s character seem more human the creators of the series later added other characters to the Batman comics. For most of the history of Batman his sidekick Robin is shown fighting alongside of Batman. Afterwards additions to the cast of the Batman comics are batgirl who is shown as Police Commissioner Gordon’s daughter Barbara, and batwoman. The various villains who appear in the Batman comics are also well known. The names of the Penguin, the Riddler, catwoman and even the Joker are ones that we recognize. While many changes have been brought to the mysterious man, Batman comics are still comics that are read by many people. The various Batman movies that many of us have seen are a testament to the popularity of this superhero and the ever growing host of Batman fans. So, when you are reading the next Batman or watching the next movie ask yourself, What intrigues you about this super hero…
