Secret Santron

Santron approves of lists detailing your likes and dislikes, as the information provided will grant your Secret Santron special insight into your preferences and, come New Years, make replacing you all with robot duplicates even easier.

So, from now on, anyone posting lists such as the ones on this page will have their post linked to through their name on the front page.

I am relatively lacking in the Trade Paperback market, so picking up a TPB of anything (besides Planetary) will be a welcome addition for sure.

Some of my favorite stories/comics are:

Lucifer
Fables
Y: The Last Man
Planetary
Preacher
Invincible
Immortal Iron Fist
Daredevil
All-Star Superman
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
New Avengers
Mighty Avengers
Ultimate anything (except x-men)
Astonishing X-Men
Captain America
Iron Man
Dr. Strange

I admit that I read mostly Marvel and Vertigo stuff. However, I am definately not opposed to trying out some good Main DCU stuff. Some DC characters I would like to know more about are: Animal Man, Adam Strange, Dr. Fate, and Ralph Dibny. I really like sci-fi and magic/mystic/fantasy comics as well.

Really, I'll accept anything from comics to merch to DVDs. I ain't picky and love crazy stuff

For Jordyn: I'm a Medium, and Guy and Mogo are pretty badass

As far as back issues go, I'm up for anything. Though it would be cool to have a weird story that deals with mythology somehow in a comic book setting. For instance, I have a Captain America comic that tells the tale of Gilgamesh, but with Captain America and Kang the Conqueror. Anything like that would be pretty sweet.

wwtMask

My wish list is pretty simple. If it's something from Marvel, go for an Essential volume (except Nova, Luke Cage vol. 1, Iron Fist vol. 1, and X-Factor vol. 1) or a volume from the Priest run on Black Panther. For DC, anything related to Green Lantern prior to the current GL and GLC runs would be awesome. Also 52 or any Showcase title would be good. Outside of that, I'd be open to anything, especially Hellboy/BPRD, Fables, or any Alan Moore books besides V. I trust the judgment of most of the people who regularly post here, so I imagine that if you like something, I'll probably like it too.

EDIT: Hmm, everyone else is listing their shit. I guess I will too, because I'm too insecure to do my own thing (also, I don't want anyone to buy something I already have).

My entire comic/manga collection

SatanIsMyMotor

I'm going to go home and dig through all of my old comics in order to make sure I have something truly awesome to give away, then I shall sign up.

Jordyn

So is the theme here "send backissues of stuff?"

Or is "send whatever."

Or is "we're gonna say we're sending backissues but you can send other stuff too?"

Or

or what


what.

august

According to Santron it's like "send at least a back issue. Of value."

Or something.

Santron supports sending whatever you want so long as it is Graphic Violence related and equal or greater in value to a back issue. A back issue is simply the absolute minimum, a standard set forth by Secret Spider-Man before me.

Santron is dedicated to upholding your human traditions even after humanity itself marches towards its doom, a fact evidenced by the beard I defied nature and science to grow out of respect for the portly predecessor of all Secret Santas. Or did you think I bore it just for fun?

Entertainment value, not monetary value. Anyone who responds to their present by whipping out their price guide and complaining about how the odd crease degrades the overall selling price will receive coal in their stocking, and the stocking down their throat.

I was just keeping the door open to action figures and such, whose value is not necessarily entertainment.

How would you define the value of an action figure, assuming you don't play with it? I suppose it doesn't fall under "entertainment".

Aesthetic?

In any case, action figures are worth considering. Perhaps I should make that clear.

Things that I would consider sending:

action figures/statues/busts
back issues
trade paperbacks
a mold of my penis
original artwork/con sketches

I think that about covers it.

This is not comics related unless it rivals the mighty Captain Marvel's bulge. Surely you don't want to send disappointment.

DJ Eebs

Last year I got a Lee/Kirby era Fantastic Four issue. I sent out a copy of Deadpool #1 and a few Silver Age Christmas issues.

Just to give you an idea on what the gifts were last year.

Calamity Jane

Action figures, posters and DVDs are shit I'm looking at in terms of giving.

Hooraydiation

I didn't bother with noting what volumes in a series I do have and which volumes I don't because anything I'm missing is something I'm sure to buy for myself eventually anyway. Personally, I'd rather not have Secret Santron just be something that saves me a few bucks and a trip to the store. So please, if you get me, note my tastes but don't feel obligated to adhere to them. It's okay to take a chance.

It's also worth noting that I don't own any action figures or DVDs related to comics in any way. I also don't have posters, but if I got one I probably wouldn't know where to put it.

And if I get Jordyn, my shirt size is large.

hughtron

I've got too many comic books already. I like manga and art comics and good superhero books.

My all-time favorite books are Casanova, The Invisibles, Seaguy, Seven Soldiers, Scott Pilgrim, Hellboy, Doom Patrol, and Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix.

I love Paul Pope but the only things by him that I own personally are Batman Year 100 and his issue of Solo.

Science Closet Batman is my favorite thing.

I like my shirts extra tight, so small or extra small.

I just signed up, but my intention is to send a trade of roughly $15-25 in value. Not sure what others intentions are, but I'd reckon sending out 5 or 6 quarter bin issues or left over FCBD stuff might be frowned upon, but thats just me.


I'm pretty open to any comics with the exception of stuff like Spawn or Witchblade or anything involving Michael "I can't draw feet" Turner or Rob Liefeld. Those I use in lieu of firewood.

Marvel is sort of my first love, but I enjoy a lot of DC stuff as well. I have a lot of singles of most new stuff, but, again, open to anything really. Fables is one of the Vertigo titles I'm really behind on in my trade collecting with only vol 1 and the 1001 nights special. But, like I said, pretty much anything appeals to me, so go crazy.

If I only had the muscles in my face needed for such expressions, I would indeed frown upon that.

Note to Santron: Ask self for human face. Doesn't matter whose.

Rorshach Kringle

Don't worry Santron, I am frowning enough for the both of us.

You just cannot tell because of the mask.

However, that being said, you can find some real gems in the quarter bin. Don't knock the price. The value of the experience of reading it should be what you look at.

Garlic Bread

your mother's a whore

wwtMask

Yes. Also, Essential and Showcase books are awesome.

Jordyn

Fuck it, I'm in.

Jordyn

Hey you guys should post your shirt sizes.

I'm not saying anyone is getting a shirt from me


But someone will probably get a shirt from me.

Garlic Bread

I know I won't!
