    Once (if) the last issue of Planetary comes out, will the whole series be collected in an Absolute Edition?

    How many fucking times has the X-Mansion been destroyed and leveled? Or how many Blackbirds have the teams went through? Or X-Jets, or whatever. I can think of 3 they totalled in just the last year.

    I pretty sure that was William Messner-Loebs' run before Waid got the book. Waid introduced the whole Speed Force idea which meant that Wally didn't have to worry about food so much since the Speed Force supplied all the energy he needed.

    Both authors had really good runs though.

    I think the writer right now (I'm up to issue 9) is Mike Baron

    You're right. Mike Baron wrote from 1-14, Messner-Loebs took over at 15 and wrote until 61 where Waid took over. It's still a good run all the way through, with all the authors.

    The Circle takes place before Countdown #30, as said in the editors note a few issues back.

    Wait, so it's NOT over? I'm quite behind on my reading and I've got the last few issues saved toward the end of my pile (well, long box(es)) and I was under the impression that it was over. I still have one more issue to look forward to?

    I thought the intent was to collect the whole series in Absolute format - I believe the sales warranted it. I really hope so. As much as my wallet hates it, those things are great. I'd love to see Global Frequency get that treatment - there oughtta be something better than those mediocre tpbs for that series.

    there's already an Absolute Planetary (not sure what it covers) and it's hard to find

    Holy shit $280+ for Absolute Planetary! I have that. I got it on Ebay for about $60 two years ago. It collects the first 12 issues. I imagine that once Cassady finishes the last issue, there will be another absolute edition for the last half announced. And then they will probably reprint the first volume. When I got Vol 1, I was figuring on just reading Planetary in that format. So, I still haven't read anything past issue 12.

    wow, Absolute Authority vol 1 is going for $300. Damn. Good thing I got it a long time ago.

    Some day, after I get around to buying all of the Scott Pilgrim books (I borrowed them all from the library), and Gyakushu! vols 1 and 2, I need to get the rest of Ellis's Stormwatch. That's a damn good series right there.

    There's actually already an Absolute Planetary Volume 2 that is more widely available than the first one and so cheaper. I'm sure there'll be an Absolute Planetary Volume 3 once the last ish comes out.

    Really? I can't find it anywhere. I thought there were only going to be two Absolute Planetary collections, for the first 12 and the preview (vol 1), and the next for the rest of the issues.

    They are teases for some upcoming events in certain books. Mongul had one, and he'll be showing up in the Green Lantern books from time to time. The Brainiac image is a tease for a major Superman storyline coming up this year.

    I have a question I hope someone can answer :)

    I'm trying to get the gold cover graphic novels for the Age of Apocalypse storyline from X-men. I know what I'm missing, but after seeing which issues are involved in Age of Apocalypse I couldn't find a gold cover GN for the 2 X-Universe comics. Were they released as a part of a graphic novel? (Leigionquest perhaps? I don't have that one yet, so I can't determine if it's in that or not) :/

    The Logan mini is only 3 issues and it's pre Civil War continuity, BKV wrote it back in 2004, it just hasn't been finished till now because Eduardo Risso was drawing it on the side while still doing 100 Bullets every month.

    Origins is terrible and no one cares about it.

    But you left off Uncanny X-Men, which he is also in.

    But he's hardly the only character who shows up all over the place. Iron Man and Ms. Marvel are currently guilty of this as well.

    the thing that confuses me is that in x-force, his top priority immediately after messiah complex is tracking down cable, but in his solo series his top priority immediately after messiah complex is tracking down mystique.

    uh, his priority in X-Force is not tracking Cable, they are going after the Purifiers.

    And the Mystique arc is only 3 or 4 issues, I wouldnt be surprised if it took place over a very short period of time
