Funny note: BK Vaugn did the intro to GA, talking about how Jock and Diggle are pretty awesome and whatnot, then talks about how they really have balls to call it "Year One" given that Miller/his co-creator were amazing on Batman Year One. He neglected to mention that we've seen TT Year One, Batgirl Year One, and a bunch of others iirc, so it was more of a cash-grab by DC to slap "Year One" on a simple re-told origin story.
There weren't too many before Green Arrow. There was Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and JLA (and like Batman/Scarecrow or some shit that doesn't count)
Green Arrow was the first of the recent splurge. It was Green Arrow, Huntress, Metamorpho, Teen Titans, and Black Lightning
I think all the Year Ones are enjoyable, but Robin and Green Arrow are probably my favorite. I should re-read GA:Y1 again.

im getting pretty bummed because all the batman ties i sent out either no one posted a picture of or they didn't seem to find them in the box.

They could pretty much follow GA:Y1 exactly for a Green Arrow origin movie (but shorten it a bit so we get some costumed time), but his origin is almost just like Iron Man's so people might criticize it

Especially if they spent more time on the transformation than Iron Man did. It could be a large part of the flick, and he could become GA before our eyes (better shot, cloak, developing morals, etc)

So, judging by the FedEx website, it appears that my present was received last week. My Secret Spoilee hasn't posted in this thread - or, indeed, Graphic Violence - in a long time, and I was wondering what was up.
At one point, it looked like FedEx was trying to deliver the gift to the wrong place, but I called them up and the address they had on file was the right one. So, now I'm curious: was the gift delivered to the right place? Did my Secret Spoilee get it? Did they like it, and can we be best friends now? Or, do I need to send out another package?
so my gift from angry just arrived- my very own copy of darwyn cooke's parker adaptation! i've been really excited to read this since it first came out and just haven't put down the change for it yet, so this is great. thanks a lot, angry!
mask's gift should be on its way, mask!

I just got my fabulous gift from Langly, a package containing Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?, and Charles Burns' Black Hole. I'm psyched to have Man of Tomorrow and Caped Crusader, each iconic stories in their own right rendered in deluxe hardcovers, but I am most interested in Black Hole. While I've enjoyed my share of non-superhero books, I don't venture outside the mainstream nearly often enough. Black Hole will remedy that in some small way, and I can already tell from reading those first few segments that I'm going to enjoy the trip.

this isn't from my spoiler but i just got done with christmas with my parents and i got:
All-Star Superman Vol. 1
HellBoy: Seed Of Destruction (Vol.1)
HellBoy: Wake the Devil (Vol. 2)
Showcase Presents: Green Lantern (vol. 1)
and then my brother got me two "grab bags" of 'Out of Print Originals' which included:
William Shatner's: Tek World #6
Image Plus #1
Sherlock Homes of the '30s #4
The Original E-Man and Michael Mauser #5
Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD #21 (90s version)
ShadowMan #0 (it's all shiny and glossy-metallic covered)
Street Sharks #1
Nexus #31
Shade: The Changing Man #44
Heavy Hitters: Dragon Lines #1
seriously some of these are soooo funny looking and awesome
You might as well add Wildcat to that list, I've given up hope of him posting but I know they've been received. I got him Stardust by Neil Gaiman and the Infinity Gauntlet, two of my favourite books (for totally different reasons).

Hello!
Yes it was received! Framling and I had been in South Dakota for about 10 days (we got stuck there due to a blizzard) and in the meantime the FedEx people went crazy. I came home to find several stickers from the front door saying they were trying to deliver something. And then went out the back door and found the box opened? and shoved under our welcome mat? Wtf?
It had our address on the box and then another address in Lynnwood also on a FedEx sticker and I don't know what the hell happened but it got here and from what I can tell based on the letter, everything is still in it.
And you managed to not get me anything I already had! Huzzah!
I'll post like...a picture or something later, I'm heading out the door for work right now, but thank you very much especially for Chew. I had seen a preview for it and kinda wanted it but forgotten about it until I saw it again in the package. I was like...sweeeeeeeet.
Also to my Spoiler: As I said, I was trapped in blizzard. My apologies, present should arrive soon.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear this. From my end, it looked like they tried to deliver it several times in Kent (which is not the city where you live), and then it finally got delivered to Lynnwood (which is also not the city where you live). I was like "man, is that how they do it on that side of the country? Everyone gets three addresses?" It's good to hear that apparently "Lynnwood" means "By Jordyn's Back Door, Under The Mat, You Know the Place".
That the box was opened is a little alarming, though. I hope nothing got damaged.

oh wow, there certainly was! i opened my door to find asterios polyp waiting on my welcome mat! this is awesome! i've been really wanting to read this too! all the copies i've seen in bookstores and comic shops have been bound in plastic for some asshole reason, so i just sat down to look at it and ended up getting sucked into reading it for like a half-hour. it's gorgeous and it's kind of hard to believe this is the same guy who drew batman year 1.
this is very generous of you, angry, i really appreciate it! thanks!

any one want to bet on who will be the last person to get a gift?
well guess I'm out of the running.
There was a box waiting for me when I got home tonite.
thanks very much for the cool haul. I got peter & Max a Fables novel, marvel knights the sentry been wanting to read this for a while, Coward which is an awesome book. Lost my copy a while back was it's nice to get a replacement house of Mystery vol 1 I've heard good things about the series but my santa had this to say so I don't know "Ew. Ew? Ew! I'm never touching this book again" so I guess I'll have to look in to it. and finally Blue beetle book 2 road trip which I've already read but flipping thought it now I don't remember half of the things in here so it'll be fun to read it again
Reminder that the deadline for delivery is Saturday, guys! Although there's only two people left and I'm pretty sure their gifts are in transit already so it looks like we'll have 100% completion!

I think all the Year Ones are enjoyable, but Robin and Green Arrow are probably my favorite. I should re-read GA:Y1 again.

Ok yea, that was confusing. I finally got my secrete spoiler gift from Sars, Thanks Sars!
Preacher 1 - 3 and something Paul Pope 100%.
It seems the Dark Knight Returns was supposed to be apart of the gift that came separate from the Batman Arkam Asylum game.
My apologies to all and will proceed to report to SE++ to thank for the DKR TPB, I had already thnks my SS for the Batman AA game.

I got the first volume (among other things) for Christmas from my wife. It's as good as all the hype makes it out to be.
Edit: This was in response to Mask.
There was a box waiting for me when I got home tonite.

It's shitty phone quality so I didn't even have to black out the addresses! I sure hope CSI doesn't zoom in and enhance.
And what did I find first?
Ahhhh! I've wanted to read this for forever, I'm almost ashamed I haven't! Fucking yes, awesome.
And what did I find next?
AHHHHH! I loved Batman: TAS! I love Mr. Freeze! I'm going to love this!
And, finally,
Teen Boat! It's about a Teen, who turns into a Boat! I can totally relate. I'm excited to read this as well.
She also gave me a super rad note. It's totally from the Batcave.
In summation, Jordyn, you the (wo)man! Thanks so much!
Going by my calculations that make Reed Richards look like a fool, everyone got a gift.
