As I've been maintenancing my collection, I came across the series, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. I started buying them in the 90's with the thought that it would be cool to have a complete run of a solo Bat title and that was the first solo title since 1940. I knew a full Batman run of the OG was not an option, heh.
However, the stories all ran in 5 issue arcs which to me seemed to deter some possibly great storylines. Not all stories necessarily needed 5 issues and some might be better if they got more.
In the long run, I found that if I didn't like the first issue or two of a story, I would be like, great, now I have to wait 3 more issues before the next story arc.

Any of you guys have eBay shops where you sell comics?

Love the old Tales of Suspense, Tales to Astonish, etc.
On a side note, I've always thought that Iron Man and Submariner #1 is extremely underpriced since it was leading into their solo books. Picture for reference-

Didn’t know that. I’ll look for that book. Here’s what came today. Batman has the biggest portion of my collection by a good bit. These are my first issues of Tales of Suspense.

I need to get those Hulk issues.

It’s a really good 3-part series about the Banner-Stark and Iron Man-Hulk relationship.

Anyone watch the Fantastic Four trailer that came out today for the movie? I dig the whole retro futuristic look of it. Definitely an homage to the Kirby comics look.

I was pretty stoked. Really dig the aesthetic.

Yeah. Looks good. Excited to see it. Cool seeing HERBIE in there.

If anybody likes BIG books I highly recommend the Taschen Marvel Library. They are like omnibuses but they use high quality scans of original copies instead of the over saturated recolored versions Marel publishes in house.

They are pricey but they do two sales each year which is one I grab them at 50% off.

I noticed they also started doing the first Spidey and Avengers in a standard 8.4 x 11.9 in.

I prefer the oversized XXL but they are harder to store.
