Got £200, what to buy?

Got around £200 to spend on comics, what do you recommend. Thinking maybe sandman hc but have listened to the 3 audible books that are out so I know most of the story. Maybe Geoff johns green lantern. Other options, hellbalzer omni and Gotham central. I’ve read:

Invincible Preacher Swamp thing Y the last man Locke and key

Really just want suggestions and to see what people think, decent amount so can buy omnis and full collections

Okay show of hands, who here has actually read any of the books from Impound comics?

I was gonna post a bigger rambley post, but for real, have any of you actually read of the IC books?

I just read what was available on Webtoons, maybe a bit of the spin off featuring one of the villains and that's it. Definitely not the best thing I've ever read, but I don't regret reading it for the most part.

The creator of it has been advertising it quite a bit over the past 4 years to, yet NONE of the books have even a 1 star rating on stuff like "League of Comic Critics".

It just boggles the mind, does the creator focus more on social media than actually getting the book out there, or what? I'm just amazed that apparently he had a storefront JUST to sell his books, where did he get the money for that?

Where to start reading Spider-man?

Obviously the Stan Lee stuff hasn't aged well so where would I start reading Spider-man? Gerry Conway? Or maybe a little before him. Are there certain issues of the Stan Lee run that are required reading?

what is your opinion on INFINITY by hickman?

infinity is a comic i read years ago because i was interested in stories that inspired the MCU movies. i didn’t like it. but recently i read the start of hickmans marvel saga. including fantastic four and FF. and secret warriors. so my question is, does INFINITY get better in context of the whole saga. i’ve heard similar things for secret wars. like as a standalone event it’s good. but in the context of the saga it’s incredible. i just hope i like infinity more this time around.

I absolutely despise John Romita Jr's art, am I an outcast?

Not a flame, it is just any book with his art is such a turnoff I have trouble reading the book, I just hate his art so much!

For some contrast here are some artists I love....Jamal Campbell, Kevin Maguire, Phil Jimenez, and Bryan Hitch just to name a few

Comic book

Hello everyone

Just wondering what a omnibus is

Is a omnibus just a bunch of issues into one big book with same author

And hard cover is just a more expensive version of a regular issue

For example the all in Batman

If there was a omnibus about the all in Batman It will have Batman 153 to what ever number the it ends on

And omnibus will have all the all in Batman into one big book

Comic help|Can anybody please help me to find a comic? I have been searching it more than 15 years⋯

Sorry to disturb. I once read a comic when I was young, I read it in 2008-2009. I don't remember its name, sorry! These are some of my memories of this comic:

-The protagonist is a girl, and the story is about fantasy and adventure.

-It is a European/American comic with full-color, and I believe it must be a teen comic. I remember one of the cover illustration is protagonist standing naked in a jungle background. And not only the cover illustration, there are some scenes of the protagonist wearing revealing clothes often appears in the story too.

-The protagonist and her companions formed a team of different races. I remember that besides the protagonist, there is also a tall and strong dog headed character (A), and a character who has a slender body and head like a tree branch with a bamboo hat(B), he is not a human btw. His arm can tear open, and there is a futuristic looking laser gun hidden inside. (Of course, there must be other characters, but I don't remember.) Besides that, it seems that everyone has a colored stone symbolizing some power/identity.

-There is a scene where the protagonist conveys information to other stone owners through her stone(Including A and B.)When B is contacted, he is floating cross legged on the water surface at night.

-There is also a scene where B suddenly extends his right arm and shoots someone with the laser gun hidden in his arm. His behavior angers A. A beats him hard and even crushes the laser gun in his arm. Then the protagonist comes out to stop them and condemns their infighting, but B appears to have been seriously injured.

-The ending scene is (I'm not sure this is the final end of the story or a partial end, sorry.) after experiencing an adventure, the protagonist team achieves their goal. The protagonist stands on the deck of a fantasy flying ship, looking up and smiling, with the wind blowing on her face and hair.

I have been searching for this comic for many years and I really want to find it. If you have any clues, please let me know. Thank you in advance for any help you have provided!

More mysterious/noir superhero story recommendation

Hi all, I am new superhero reader, I dont really like/care for the over the top stuff, but right now I am loving the more mysterious / noir, dont care about the superhero.

Personally I was blow away after reading Jeph Loeb + Tim Sale works on Batman with the Long Halloween, Dark victory, When in Rome (Dark victory was the one I enjoyed less but still Tim Sale drawing are a 10/10)
Other comic I enjoyed was: Batman Night Cries, albeit I prefer longer stories

Other stories I read but I didnt enjoy that much:

  • Batman Year One, I found it kinda forgettable and the coloring was really flattening imo
  • Batman Hush, it wasnt that bad, but reading it so close to Long Halloween hurt my enjoyment I think, also the artstyle wasnt the best
  • All Star Superman, Spiderman Blue, Daredevil yellow, Hulk grey, they are very very good, but not that kind of stories I enjoy this period of my life
  • Kraven Last Hunt, didnt particulary enjoy the drawing and also the whole story was a bit too weird for me, maybe because I didnt really know/care about the characters
  • Spiderman Clone Saga and Marvel Secret Wars, idk maybe they were groundbreaking when they come out 40 years ago but I didnt enjoy them a bit
  • The Dark Knight Returns, kinda of strange , and I found batman a bit too edgy there, loved the drawings tho
  • The Dark Knight Strikes Again, as someone outside the world of DC and Marvel I am kind of amazed this story was even greenlight, not because it's bad, but for how strange everything is ahah, kinda like the drawings

Stories I loved but arent related to this

  • Moon Knight All New Marvel Now, my first comic I read, loved it
  • Superior Foes of Spider-Man, probably my fav superhero comic book ahah, I should read it again as I read it ages ago

Right now I am reading Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja, enjoying it but the fact the episodes arent related (at least so far) is a bit of a bummer, seems like it's was better to experience it in a single issues format
