COMPLETE SERIES
1. Starman, by James Robinson (two "Compendium" TPBs---2900 pages!), $40.
2. Swamp Thing by Brian K. Vaughan (two TPBs collecting the 20-issue series), $15.
NOTE: This series focuses on Tefe, daughter of the Swamp Thing who was Alec Holland.
3. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, by Nick Spencer (vol. 1 TPB plus vol. 2 issues 1-6 of 6, and the 100-Page Spectacular reprinting stories from the original 1960s Tower Comics series), $14.
4. New Super-Man, by Gene Luen Yang (4 TPBs), $20.
5. The Monkey Prince, by Gene Luen Yang (2 HCs), $15.
6. The Great Ten #s 1-9 (full series), by Tony Bedard, $6.
NOTE: Under-appreciated but really interesting series, using characters and concepts Grant Morrison created for the weekly 52 series, about a super-team controlled by the government of China. (The last set sold on eBay went for $15 + $8.50 shipping and tax.)
TPB ORIGINALS
7. Cairo, by G. Willow Wilson and M.K. Perker (TPB w/ shaded black-and-white art), $5.
NOTES: Book is shorter and wider than usual; upper right corner is bent. I have another book by Wilson below; another of my ads has her full run on Wonder Woman and the first collection from her Poison Ivy series.
8. A Flight of Angels, linked stories by five writers, all sumptuously illustrated by Rebecca Guay, $4.
9. 9-11, vol. 2, a 224-page anthology of short stories and pin-ups produced in response to the 9-11 attacks and as a benefit for four charities for victims and the affected area, $3.
MINISERIES
10. The Dreaming: Waking Hours, written by G. Willow Wilson (TPB, collects 12-issue series), $10.
11 Infinite Frontier, written by Joshua Williamson (HC, collects 7-issue series and Secret Files one-shot), $12.
NOTE: I will throw in a copy of the DC Universe Rebirth one-shot.
12. Who Killed Jimmy Olsen?, by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber (TPB, collects 12-issue series), $10.
13. Stargirl: The Lost Children, Jay Garrick: The Flash, and Wesley Dodds: The Sandman (3 TPBs), $13.
NOTE: All three books collect six-issue series; the first one also includes the Stargirl: Spring Break one-shot. Judy Garrick, aka The Boom, features in both the Stargirl and Flash books.
14. Dr. Fate: Countdown to Mystery, written by Steve Gerber of Howard the Duck fame (TPB collects the Dr. Fate portions of the 8-issue Countdown to Mystery series), $5.
NOTE: Gerber died before finishing the story, so four of his friends---Gail Simone, Mark Waid, Mark Evanier, Adam Beechen---provided short alternative endings.
15. Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape (TPB collects 6-issue series), $5.
NOTE: Very interesting and "trippy" (to use a dated word); reminiscent of the old "The Prisoner" TV series.
16. Blue and Gold, by Dan Jurgens and Ryan Sook (TPB, collects 8-issue series), $5.
17. Earth-Prime (TPB, collects 6-issue series, 5 of which tie into DC's CW television shows), $4.
NOTE: IMO, the quality of the chapters varies, and the last one tying everything together is stupid. Nonetheless, I can recommend the book if you liked the shows; I particularly loved the chapters based on DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Stargirl.
ONE-SHOTS AND SPECIAL ISSUES
18. Full set of the eight "DC Comics Presents" one-shots in tribute to Julius Schwartz, $15.
NOTE: Each issue has two stories by different creative teams, inspired by the same cover illustration---which is a modern take on a cover Schwartz commissioned for comics he edited in the 1960s and 1970s.
19. Five "Retroactive" one-shots (1980s Batman, 1970s Justice League of America, and 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s Superman), $10.
NOTE: Each issue has a new story, and a reprint from the appropriate decade.
20. Four 80-Page Giants from 2000 (Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, JLA), each with a full-length, stand-alone story, $5.
21. Eight various one-shots and specials, $12
Here's the list: Batman: Hidden Treasures (with art by Bernie Wrightson), Superman #700, Green Lantern and Plastic Man: Weapons of Mass Deception; Young Justice 100-Page Spectacular (reprints the World Without Grownups miniseries), Secret Origins #10 (with four alternative origins for the Phantom Stranger---one by Alan Moore), Supergirl Annual #2, Superman: The Wedding Album (coverless---my wife framed it for me ;-) ), and Brightest Day 100-Page Spectacular #2 (reprints Firestorm and Martian Manhunter stories).
Congrats on making it down to the end of my longest ad---either you read quickly, or you have really good taste, or both! ;-) If you have SUCH good taste that you want to buy everything in the ad, I will lower the price for the 20 TPBs (including the two Compendiums), 3 HCs, and 41 floppies from $228 to $160----an additional discount of 30 percent!
