Days of a future past for me, with the dark phoenix saga in a close second.

Well both are absolutely great.

For the record, I reviewed the Dark Phoenix Saga and I'll do the same with Days of Future Past in a couple of months.

My whole shebang has a different cover, but I assume is the same. I likes it.

Such great story. I wasn't even born when this came out but I still feel like I grew up reading it or wanting to read it.

A news paper here is printing comic books for its wednesday edition and I'm getting them all.

Already read Frank Miller's complete Spiderman, its a nice albeit strange read. Its age shows but the stories are still very enjoyable. The Daredevil ones are the worst (ironic no?) but overhaul I liked it.

Also read some Captain America stories, but this one I can't find the name of the original collection. It reprints Caps first adventure, how he got the round shield, the Mecanus story, a Batroc and Mister Hyde story and my fav the one with Union Jack and Baron Blood. Awesome stuff.

Now I'm almost finished with Thor: Age of Thunder and it is glorious. Best Thor story I've read in a long long time. The art is beyond awesome and the plot is simple but very engaging.

After seeing Dark Knight Rises a couple of weeks back, I ordered Knightfall on my Nook Tablet. I enjoyed it for the most part. The story was surprisingly organic, given how gimmicky it seemed at the time. I need to check out Knightquest next.

I've got the softcover in my 'to read' pile, but I've heard so many great things about it I am a little worried my expectations may disappoint me.

Don't be - the entire run is fantastic. I used to own it in singles, and have missed it terribly. I just read the first volume of the Omnibus in one sitting, and can't wait for volume 2 to come out in paperback.

Your newspaper is printing comics? Can you post a pic of those editions?

Here is the link to the collection--> Público

You can check the 15 HC's that haven been reprinted. Currently its at #5 that I'm gonna get tomorrow.

The page is HTML so Google should be able to translate it, but if any help is needed just post here or PM me.
