I read Secret Wars as it came out, and found it quite enjoyable.  I was, after all, a kid, and the notion of all those heroes and villains together in one series was very exciting.  Spider-Man getting a new costume?  Awesome!\n\nI read it again last year, and needless to see, it didn't hold up well at all.  Hokey dialogue, terrible art in places, and a contrived plot that had more holes in it than one of my moth-eaten shirts up in attic.  That said, there were still some entertaining parts, not the least of which being Doom's contstant comedic foil, Klaw.  His incoherent babblings caused Doom to utter perhaps the greatest line of the series:  "So. I've created a madman. SIGH."

It's interesting that you should ask, as I was just at the comic book store yesterday trying to find some of the collected "Next Men" trades to give to my sister for Christmas. \n\nSo, I liked this book as well, but it's been ten years and we're still waiting for more. Sadly it's unlikely that we'll ever get to see the series end.\n\nIf you remember, "Next Men" stopped being printed in 1995, possibly the darkest time in the history of the American comic book. With sales at an all time low it was just no longer profitable for John Byrne to keep working on what was, for the most part, a labor of love. It made more sense for him to go back to DC and then later to Marvel.\n\nSo, let's just keep our fingers crossed.

I read that book, and I also read the 2 that followed it...\n\nI found the book to be very good, although disturbing. I was at work when I read it. I started at 9 am, and didn't put it down until I finished it. \n\nWhat I liked about it:\n\nI didn't like the fact that a child had to endure that abuse, but what I did like about it was the fact that I know without a shadow of a doubt that my children are not abused. I am happy about the fact that my children know they will have a full stomach, they can eat when they are hungry, and that they know they have a mother that loves them and would never harm them. I also like that "David" could grow to have a son of his own and know that he would never put his son through what his own mother put him through. Glad that he could grow to have a normal, happy life.

I read it a long time ago in junior high and I dont think I was old enough to really understand it. I should go to the library soon and re-read it, I think i'd enjoy it much more.

I think the most recent one, book 6, was the best. It was certainly a *huge* improvement over book 5 (which was terrifically boring).

I think Wanted is a fantastic comic - I suggest that you hold on to it - there is a rumor they're going to make a movie from it - if you sell it around the time the movie comes out, you stand to make a LOT more, since interest will be high.

i got hooked on harry potter after seeing the first movie, then i read the books, they are a lot better than the movies, i would have loved to see the quidditch world cup in the 4th movie, but no they left all that out, my favorite chacter in the book is a toss up between dumbeldore and mad eye moody, they are both awesome, and the last book is under raps, but i can tell u one thing from having debates about the sixth book, DUMBELDORE FAKED HIS DEATH, HE IS NOT DEAD, email me or message me for details

Wizard Magazine actually published a list if the Top 100 stories of all time.  There's obviously too many books to list here, so I've attached the link below.  You know your friend better than anyone else on this board, so you should be able to find something interesting listed.\n\nFYI, I'm quite partial to Iron Man "Armor Wars": he discovers that his technology has been stolen, so he goes around kicking every armored hero and villian's butt to get his technology back.  In the end, he gets kicked out of the Avengers for going rogue.  "Weapon X" (the basis for the upcoming Wolverine movie) is also a good one, but if you want a more mainstream X-Men book, I would recommend Jim Lee's "X-Men" run.

Yes, twice so far.  I will begin reading the entire series again once I hear the release date of book 7, so that I have it all fresh in my memory when the conclusion comes out.  I look forward eagerly.  \n\nBy the way, there are several Harry Potter fan groups in Yahoo! Groups.

I think I have to give a two-fold answer to that question.\n\nFirstly, you have to take in context to the storyline, which is basically that world goverments are basically classifying super-beings as walking weapons of mass destruction and are demanding that they come forward and itentify themselves (and their alter egos) so that they can be catalogued and monitored.\n There are those who feel that the governments are asking too much, and refuse, and there are those that step forward and comply. I believe Spider Man is the first one to do so. \n\nIt's refreshing in that this is doing what comics have often done: reflecting modern societal problems and casting them back out there for thought and discussion. Which is certainly what happened when Spidey revealed who he was. \n\nSecondly,there's only so much you can do with a character unless you're willing, as a writer and artist to take risks. Was it a risk? Given the furor that erupted in the media when this was announced, I'd say yes. All art is there to promote thought and discussion, and comic books are not outside that realm. They are a new form of modern literature, combining writing, art, the classic hero's tale smushed up against modern problems. I, for one, thought it was a brilliant idea and very much needed, not only to bring, as you say, fresh life to an old character, but also to force people to look at modern issues that affect *us* everyday...

I loved it.\n\nI've heard that even people who never saw the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" also liked it.

Marve's entire reason for existence is to make a buck, my friend.  Why else were there over a half-dozen Spiderman titles until recently? Why else did they recently reboot the character so that a younger person can be Spidey?\nI haven't read Civil War 2 yet, but it is a pretty interesting storyline idea. I think it is a lot more complex than when i was a kid. that's both good and bad. I cannot share most of today's comics with my nephews or nieces, since most of them are too adult for them. But that's where the money is, you see? Adult readers and collectors.
