    Current Arrow is being written by Winick and is a comedy book, even though the plot is that they've stolen his brain-dead son.

    OK, I'm moving offices and have a bunch of single issues that I need to do something with. Is there any value in keeping them, besides one I really like? I only pretty recently started buying single issues, so I haven't yet had to decide what to do with them.

    New comics have no value, for the most part
    You could always get a box and store them if you wanted
    Or sell them to your shop as back issues, which is what I'll do when I finally get rid of all my stuff

    GA/BC hasn't been that bad. I've enjoyed it so far. As for Green Arrow his year one book that just came out in trade was pretty good.

    Also, what Green Arrow stuff did Kevin Smith write?

    I think Scalped's better than the other two, and keep in mind that Hitman isn't fully collected in trades, so if you don't have access to the single issues, you won't get to read all of the later stuff and the ending, which is a big part of its appeal.

    Smith wrote Quiver and Sounds of Violence.

    DMZ is sort of hit-and-miss, but the concept is damn strong. Sometimes, the art gets a little wacky.

    SCALPED is terrific, I'm glad someone here (maybe wwm?) put me onto it.

    Hitman is fantastic if you can find the entire run anywhere (or even if you can't), Scalped is great, and Kevin Smith's run on Green Arrow was really enjoyable to me.

    That looks like one of those custom hardcover jobs that cuts apart your singles

    I believe those are custom-bound hardcovers made up of single issues stitched together.

    I think those are custom-bound books. If you have a bindery in your area, you can create your own hardcovers.

    There's a thread with a bunch of custom-bound book examples, and where you can get that service performed.

    Bale I have most of the run somewhere. Like, in a year or so I might dig them up and just send them to you or something. They were good, but I'm not horribly attached to them or anything.

    So, Ledger had a diary that included a list of things the joker found funny that included aids. What issue was that list primarily pulled from? Does anyone have a scan of the page?

    I thought that was just a list of things he decided the Joker would find funny?

    Did that Spiderman/FF4 story that Mike Wieringo was working on ever get finished? Or did he not finish it before his death? I remember getting like the first 2-3 issues but never saw it again.

    Pretty sure he finished that, he was working on the "What If?" issue about the New Fantastic Four when he died.

    yeah, I knew about the What If? one, just felt like those issues never came out. I was going to through some of my back issues and found those first 2 issues. Never did finish the story
