Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 11 March 2012 | Hey gang - very new to the Stash boards, just started adding my comics. So how did you start collecting? While I have a large collection, I consider myself much more of a reader of comics, it is just that I keep so damn many of them :) How many comics are in collection approximately? Roughly 600+ trades, OGN's and Hardcovers. My single issues would be somewhere around 5,000 I would suspect. These numbers are way down from where they were int he past, I did several purges over the past several years of things I just was never going to read again or lend out. What do you like to collect? Plain and simple I just love tracking down great stories, and am always up for suggestions. I tend to stay away from hardcover treatments, just because of the cost involved, but some of my favorite books on my shelves are hardcovers (The Coffin, Punisher Max, etc) Currently I am still trying to fill in my Gen 13 collection, which many consider a guilty pleasure, but I just have so many fond memories of that series. Not trying to get everything, just some of the holes in the stuff I want. Which title/character is most found in your collection? Punisher and X-Men, although not really a great reflection in the diversity of the type of stuff I read ;) Some of my favorite characters have been members of Gen 13, Blue Beetle, Punisher, Runaways, Jesse Custer, etc. |

Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 31 January 2012 | Hey everyone. I'm relatively new to the site and thought it was time to say hi and answer the newbie questions. So How Did You Start Collecting? I think my story is pretty standard. I collected as a kid (Late 80s, Early 90s), but stopped as I grew older (although I still have the comics). Last year, a friend and I attended SDCC where I learned all about "The New 52." I saw this as a great time to jump back in, and have been collecting since. How Many Comics Are In Your Collection Approximately? The site says 554. This included my graphic novels and such but that is a very small portion of my collection (10%). What Do You Like To Collect? I've really been hitting the "New 52" stuff pretty hard and enjoying it. I really like Aquaman, Catwoman, Justice League, Green Lantern, Swamp Thing. I've been really trying to jump over to Marvel lately but not much has been sticking with me. Wolverine & The X-Men is okay along with Ultimate Comics: X-Men. Also, I just read Saga and look forward to reading more of that. Which Title/Character is Most Found In Your Collection? I have a lot of early 90s Superman and X-Men. But my favorite character these days, by far, is Green Lantern (Hal Jordan). I am really digging Geoff Johns run and have been working to collect and read the whole thing. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and look forward to interacting with you guys in the future. |

Groupie![]() ![]() Joined: 19 April 2012 | Hey Jason right now she is into hunger games like most... but she has more than a few book series on the go right now... so that is good... She love Artemis and Raven out of the two DC series she likes... Kid Flash she also likes Robin and Spoiler and Batgirl so if you know any good series that would be great as far comic books go... She really likes the art so the better that is I think the more she will like it.... __________________ "Evil People Suck" |

Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 20 April 2012 | Since i'm new to the site/forums and came across this
post thought I would follow through :) So how did you start collecting? As a kid my dad would buy me a comic book every so often just for fun. When I hit 6th grade I came across some of those when cleaning my room and started reading them again. So when I would be out at the store with my parents I would look at the magazine racks and began picking up a couple here and there. At the time the Spider-man series was doing the whole Ben Reilly clone story with Tom Lyle as artist. That kinda got me hooked on actually following the stories. Soon after, my mom surprised me on my b-day by taking me to the local comic shop and let me pick out several comics as a b-day gift. While browsing the shop I learned I could set up a subscription...and the rest, as they say, is pretty much history. How many comics are in collection approximately? At last count I was about 2200 or so. What do you like to collect? Mostly collecting Uncanny X-men and X-men vol. 2. But I have quite a few Spider- man issues and other random ones I've picked up over the years. Which title/character is most found in your collection? title would have to be Uncanny X-men. I'm currently attempting to get the full run, or at least close to it as possible. |

I have an older brother, and he always collected, and being the typical younger brother, I wanted to do everything he did so I started getting comics and fell in love with them. How many comics are in your collection? I haven't ever really counted them, but it's got to be at least a thousand. What do you like to collect? My current goal is to get all the X-Men comics, but as far as ongoings go, it has to be Walking Dead, Invincible and Chew. I like the Image comics. What title/character is found most in your collection? I definitely have a lot of X-Men comics, the most would probably have to be Uncanny. I have tons of others too. __________________ I like comics and webcomics. You should too. I do "Comics for Noobs" on the blog here. Twitter:@LFLJ Email:leoflj91@gmail.com |

Groupie![]() ![]() Joined: 21 March 2012 | Valdimer wrote@audino79 Welcome, also, to SMC! What was in your original collection, and have you been able to get some of that back? Well, started collection in the late 80's, so aside from every #1 that came out when you blinked in the early 90's, the gimmick covers and Image putting the words "blood" "death" etc in every title, I had mostly X-Men. I had very very little DC. Couldn't stand anything besides Batman. I was a big key issue collector as well. Had lots of key ASMs, UXM (claremont, namely), and the here and there keys, like Ms Marvel 18, Secret Wars 8, Nyx 3 (I wish I still had that one). I rebought some of the books I had. I loved a few of the Crossgen titles like Sojourn and Scion. My Sojourn run is once again complete and Scion is almost there. I was smart enough to save some of my absolute favorite reads thinking I may regret getting rid of *everything* so there isn't too much I have to re-purchase that I miss! |

Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 09 May 2012 | @Vladimer: It's been so long since I read 50. I don't know if it would be a good stopping point or not. 100 would probably be a good one or 185. I took a hiatus from collecting for about 10 years so I'm missing some issues, 130-184. I don't really know what happens there, just bits and pieces. __________________ Kill something everyday, no matter how small, just to stay proficient. -Anonymous |

Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 15 May 2012 | Hi, I'm new here. Call me Ron (it is a girl's name. A lot of times I get mistaken for a guy because of the name). How did you start collecting? I collected here and there when I was little but by college I really got into it because an english teacher recommended a comic book shop to me in the place I lived. Haven't looked back ever since. How many comics are in your collection approximately? 192 comics and 14 graphic novels What do you like to collect? I am a big Superman fan. Recently actor Chad Michael Murray came out with his first graphic novel so I have it and plan to collect anything else he writes. Which title/character is most found in your collection? You can mostly find Superman in my collection with Green Arrow coming in second. I'm more of a DC girl so I do have some Batman, Legion, JLA, and Flash but those aren't as big as my Superman collection.

Newbie![]() ![]() Joined: 15 May 2012 | Thanks. And yeah I've been reading Action Comics & Superman of the New 52. I am a huge fan of them. Sometimes I go back and forth between favorites but I think I like AC a bit more because it's got a cool kind of edge to it. |

Have thousands in my collectionand it only keeps growing! I have mostly X-men but read a number of other things fairly regularly. My favorite is an original psylocke I had drawn by J.
