So are you saying you think they mark their prices up? The comics I get are usually in the $2.99-$3.99 range.

[quote name='2poor']So comics shouldn't be priced like $4-7?
The comic store near UCI has those prices.[/quote]
I manage a comic shop, I get a nice discount...also, I can read anything we carry.
How the pricing structure we have works:
First 13 weeks: Cover price (excluding certain Variants)
At 14th week: Bag and mark comics up to the next dollar or so. I.E. $2.99->$4.00 or $3.50->$5.00
6 months to a year: $1 each, discount in bulk.
We dont go by any price guide, and we very rarely price a comic more than that $1 or so mark-up.
Mind you, we have a graphic novel section 6-8x larger than Borders that makes up for it (except for collectors)

I think they do mark their prices up because they have older issues for $4-7.

Borders normaly has about 48 comics, 25% of which are Archie/Sonic, and the rest a mixture of mostly DC and Marvel, thay're normally about a month behind, and doubled up on months (2 in a row). Not optimal conditions for buying comics, but it can get things done.

That, and you get the nice, warm fuzzies for having supported local businesses. I have 3-4 comic shops that I visit with some frequency, and will a number of times happily overpay for something I know I could get cheaper elsewhere for the sole reason that I like having these places available... and if they aren't making money, they won't be.
Plus, guys like Nigel get to keep thier job.
Then, if they go and buy an American-made automobile, I get to keep mine.
It's the circle of life.

There's a comic shop around here that operates with the same plan. Its kind of fun to go there and find something thats only a couple weeks old but has shot up in price (such as quite a few of the pre-IC tieins) and getting it for cover price.

[quote name='evilomar']I was one of the people that called the 900 number to save Robin( I thought they were going to kill Grayson) I was more a Marvel fan in those days. So when they brought him back, I was really disappointed. But Annual 25 was done in such a believable way, I found myself liking the Red Hood. He tied everything up, and I mean there wasn't anything that was not explain. I don't think he is a hack, he keeps me interested. Detective was pretty good, I agree with that.[/QUOTE]
Believable?
Superboy-Prime throws an emo fit, pounds a few walls, and that's the explanation for why Jason isn't worm-food?
I'm sorry, but that just doesn't cut it for me. And Batman put sensors in the coffin that detects intrusions, but not extrusions? You're kidding me right? I'm pretty sure someone clawing their way out of there like that would set off any sensors he had set up. Jeez.
I'd even prefer some crap about an alternate-earth Jason Todd brought back by Alex Luthor over this. The entire arc has been a waste of a year.

Add Villians United and Superman: Red Son to that short DC list.
Also: Walking Dead and Invincible. Take a look at those two while in the store, great writing and art that fits each story

First off, If I were you I'd skip getting Killing Joke and pick up DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore it has Killing Joke in it along with other good Alan Moore stories like "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?"
Also I'd like to add, 2 books every comic book reader should read are:
The Watchmen by Alan Moore (DC/Vertigo)
and
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller (DC)
I would also recommend reading Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, it's probably my favorite. 6 Trades total.
And my favorite comic book story within the last few years is definitley Superman: Red Son it's an "Elseworlds" storyline which is the equivelent to Marvel's "What If?" It's a look at what would have happened if Superman's ship crashed into the Soviet Union instead of the USA.

Invincible is such a good book, get the ultimate collection instead of the trades, nice and hardback and a little cheaper.
And I was just talking to my boss about how Superman: Red Son might be my favorite comic story within the last few years.
*Edit*
I'm repeating myself.

Damn, that's a good list. I guess it really depends on what you like in the end. Do you lean more towards art or a story. And which kind of art, if you lean towards that. If you just want a good solid story those are some good starts. Those X-men stories are great, but hell just buy X-men Essentials volumes 1-5 and then the Mutant Massacre and Inferno trades. I'm not going to lie to you, if you know nothing about the DC universe Crisis on Infinite Earth's is a headache waiting to happen. Here are just a few others you can read, but its not everyone's cup of tea:
Teen Titans: Judas Contract
Batman: Year Two, Hush and the Neal Adam's collection
X-factor and Madrox trades
Fables: Volumes 1-6
Death: the High Cost of Living and The time of your life
Sandman: Volumes 1-10 and Endless Night (or just wait for the Absolute Versions).
American Flagg: These you might have to try to track down single issues of, but damn good comics.
Mage
Animal Man: Grant Morrison's run
Hellblazer.
and if you like manga, well hell that's another list.

I also might be interested in starting to collect comics. I'm really into Marvel, and it was only a matter of time before I started. I do have a few questions, though.
1. I think my best bet would be to start in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, but I'm not sure. I think there are too many old sidestories, alternate stories, new plots, etc. to keep track of while still keeping up with current stuff (not to mention the sheer amount of money it would take to get really old stuff). Therefore, I believe I should start in a fresh "universe" which started pretty recently. Am I making the right decision?
2. Is Ultimate Marvel going to be the foundation for the new generation, or is it just a short side project? As in, are they following DC's example with One Year Later and killing off the old series of comics, only to continue with this? Will the Civil War and other major plot points happen in the Ultimate universe or the older universe?
3. Are the trade paperbacks worth anything? I've seen older comics go for a ton of money, but I'm not sure if these would go for similar prices. It'd make collecting them a hell of a lot easier, but I'm not sure if they're worth the money.
4. I have extremely old Casper, Richie Rich, Archie, and Illustrated Classics comics that my grandparents gave to me. They're pretty tattered, but I was still wondering if they were worth much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Ultimate Marvel U are all gateway comics. You start out buying Ultimate Spider-man twice a month or Ultimate X-men once a month and the next thing you know your hitting up half price books looking for cheap comics just so you can get your fix until wednesday's new comic day.
I know how it works, it happened to me.
[quote name='evilomar']Damn, that's a good list. I guess it really depends on what you like in the end. Do you lean more towards art or a story. And which kind of art, if you lean towards that. If you just want a good solid story those are some good starts. Those X-men stories are great, but hell just buy X-men Essentials volumes 1-5 and then the Mutant Massacre and Inferno trades. I'm not going to lie to you, if you know nothing about the DC universe Crisis on Infinite Earth's is a headache waiting to happen. Here are just a few others you can read, but its not everyone's cup of tea:
Teen Titans: Judas Contract
Batman: Year Two, Hush and the Neal Adam's collection
X-factor and Madrox trades
Fables: Volumes 1-6
Death: the High Cost of Living and The time of your life
Sandman: Volumes 1-10 and Endless Night (or just wait for the Absolute Versions).
American Flagg: These you might have to try to track down single issues of, but damn good comics.
Mage
Animal Man: Grant Morrison's run
Hellblazer.
and if you like manga, well hell that's another list.[/QUOTE]
I'm not gonna bother with the essential X-men because it's in black and white. Is the Essential X-Factor TPB black and white, too?

Are any of the Ultimate books worth getting?[/QUOTE]
The Ultimate books depend in your taste in comics and how they are written. I'm a bit old school and I still like my Ultimate comics, some people just flat out think they are dumbed down versions of original stories. Yes, the essentials are in black and white but you save so much money doing it this way. I have a run of Uncanny X-men from 94 up till now, and I still prefer my essential collections. X-factor is in color, it's the Peter David run.
Greetard to answer question 4, some of the TPB are out of print are worth more than the actual comics. For example Nightwing volume 2 and Batman Legacy have been out of print for years and are worth more than the comic books.

The Ultimate Spider-Man series looks good. How is it? I've heard nothing but good things about BMB's work. The Ultimate X-Men lines seems to get really mixed reviews, though.
I've also heard good things about The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Alan Moore's name seems to be on a lot of good books.
Some others that piqued my interest:
Crimson Tomes 1-4- Heard things.
Daredevil Vol 1-5- These are the hardcover versions of the TPB. Basically, it's 2 TPB per book.
Daredevil Visionaries - Frank Miller, Vol. 1-3- It has Frank Miller's name on it, and I've heard nothing but great things about his run on Daredevil. I've heard mixed things about 3, though.
Daredevil: Born Again - See above.
Daredevil Legends Vol. 3: The Man Without Fear - Again, see above.
Rising Stars Vol 1-2- Any good? Looks interesting.
X-Men: From The Ashes - This is the X-men story immediately after Dark Phoenix, right?
X-Men Legends Vol. 1: Mutant Genesis - Heard it was good
X-Men: Mutant Massacre- Heard good things.

U. Spiderman is pretty good though Bendis' stuff is starting to get repetitive. That said, he's pretty good at writing teen life.

There is an "Absolute" (in quotes cause it's not DC) edition of Rising Stars, along with a slip case version. I havn't read it but I've heard only good things about it. Theres also the same for Walking Dead collecting issues 1-24. That one has a $100 price tag on it unfortunatly, although you can probably find it on ebay for like $60-$70.
Also, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is collected in the DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore.
And, read some Sandman before you read Death. And read some Swamp Thing before you read some Sandman, haha. There's a small character that appears in Sandman: Vol. 2 The Doll House that is in either Swamp Thing Vol. 3 or 4 I can't remember. He actually doesn't appear, but he's mentioned. Doll House is amazing though.

Every book that I've read on your list is really good. And if I havn't read it I've only heard good things about it. Are you going to buy these all at once or just pick them up as you read them?
I'll probably start with the classics. KDR, Sin City, Phoenix Saga, etc., and just pick up whatever else I can get for cheap.

Let me add a few more in:
Avengers Disasembled- It sets up the whole House of M stuff and it's good
Batman Vs. Predator I- Very good
Wolverine (Frank Miller miniseries) - shows the basics of Wolverine and ties in to X-Men: from the Ashes
Runaways- Great book. small price if you get the manga sized books
The Punisher kills the Marvel Universe- See Castle kill everybody
and if you can find it:
Spider-Man: Nothing can stop the Juggernaut

Brokeback Titans comes out today... Superboy and Nightwing have moments throughout the entire issue. Pretty important story that fits right in-between IC#5 and IC#6, but damn if it wasnt a little fruity
Thanks. Is that Avengers book I posted about in color or what?
Also, on the Runaways. They seem to have two larger volumes that then have been broken up into smaller volumes. I can find the big Vol.1 on Amazon, but not Vol.2. Was it ever printed?
Also, is the Punisher any good? If so, what book do I get? There are a buttload of Punisher collections, but it's hard to sift through them all.
Wikipedia has an oddly high amount of comic info. I'm also using Amazon's listmania feature to see what people seem to like.

Runaways was first in comic form for 18 issues (season 1). All 18 issues, unedited, are in the hardcover. Volume 2 hardcover will be released once the current "season" of Runaways is done. The mini trade paperbacks are lightly edited, and have smaller chunks per digest.
Personally, I suggest getting the hardcover since its on much higher quality paper than the digest sized ones, and it looks better on a shelf If your going to read it on the go, then the digest volumes would probably be better.

I want complete spoilers, since I probably won't be able to buy it till tommorow (in classes till 4, then work till 10).
But now Dick is going brokeback with Conner? Oh... Bruce will be so pissed.

Vol 1-3 (Issues 1-18) digest size = 23.97
Vol 1 Hardcover (Issues 1-18) = 34.99
It's not cheaper, but the art quality and the much larger pages more than make up for that difference.

Actually, I read it last night. I read most of the new stuff on Tuesdays, but yesterday I was sick so I wsnt able to read much (need my Crisis fix though).
There was no man on man action, it was just a feeling you got from each page. Could have been the art, the story, or hearing just too many Brokeback jokes that made me think that...but damn.
On another note: Fell #4. Buy it.

Yeah, should have filled in the info...
I manage a comic shop that is 1 of 3 in a chain. We order enough comics that we get them a day early so we can split them for multiple stores.
I normally stay late on Tuesday night to put out the comics instead of coming in early on Wed.
I hate waking up early...
