I hear ya. I gave up on the self-customs. Why'd you think I made Playmobil figures of myself and some friends?

the Snake-eyes and the Ninja Force... was the era I was actually buying comics as a kid too. Though I also bought a ton of back issues of Joe and Silver Age Superhero stuff at flea markets. And yeah I remember the trading card thing... but as Linkara says, "Everyone knows trading cards aren't valuable unless they have MR. T" on them. I still fall into the speculator trap every now and again... but I'm teaching myself better.

I'm actually probably buying more comics then ever, with all the Superman Family titles, all the Joe titles, Spider-woman, Fables (have you ever read Fables? it's freaking fantastic I think you'd like it), Wonder Woman and a few more aside.

I just stopped following comics altogether. I know just what you mean about loving a character and hating what's happened to them. I'm an oldschool Deadpool fan. I love the limited series from the '90s and his book from '97. Art was appropriately cartoony, writing was terrific, humour actually made me laugh, there was genuine characterization (#-1 was dark/moving/touching)... It was fantastic. Now, I don't even want to THINK of what they've done to the character. I'm raging already.
(sniff) I miss Joe Kelly... Yeah I loved his Solo Series (before Cable and Deadpool) and Cable and Deadpool I got about 8 issues into the new solo series before I dropped it now he has like two dozen comics and I hate him now. They made me hate Deadpool. I'll probably drop all the Superman family titles except Supergirl after the War of the Supermen (this New Krypton stuff was just really good... another thing I suggest in trades New Krypton/World Against S/Last Stand of New Krypton). But if you're looking for something to pick up trades for... Fables again something I think you'd get a kick out of... Fables (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <--- Every issue of it from the start up to 93 has been the same writer so it's not confusing, since there's no major retcons (a small one here and there maybe cause the author forgets something) or anything like that... It's got some pimp characters and some touching moments.

I've heard of Fables, but I'd never checked it out. (With comic prices as they are, I don't think you can blame me!) It does sound pretty cool, though!

No I'm a university student too... I don't know how I afford so many comics, if you get a chance to borrow the trade paperbacks from a library or something though... it's worth checking out.

I hear ya! If something interests me enough to read, I'll get a .cbr or a .cbr, and if I like it enough, I'll buy the trade.

Funny:
Good one, 1337... CLEVER: 1337 revealed that the chamber is just a pen case, hence the two holes. I think the holes actually add to the effect...
