I've got 3 of Black Lagoon and plan to get more, but I've been debating rather or not to start getting Claymore. I've heard nothing but good things but I just haven't been able to bring myself to buy it.

I'm not going to tell you to get Claymore but I will advise getting it, its my favorite manga. The art style is awsome, the story is great, and there is almost non-stop action. If you're not sure if you should get it then you should just read the first three to see if you like it and go from there.

It's funny you say that, as that's my usual practice. I'll get the first two (or three if I'm convinced it's going to be good) volumes and if I like them enough I'll start working on the whole series. As you can see above that's what happened with Ai Yori Aoshi, Chibi Vampire, Love Hina, Chobits, I luv halloween, +Anima, Psychic Academy, Psychic Academy, Spiral, Scott Pilgrim, and Rave Master. And Rosario Vampire manga which I have about five volumes in the mail.

Do you mean buy them first to see if you like it, because you can just read them at the store before doing anything.

Most are bargain bin buys so I go ahead and get them. Worse comes to worse I can just sell them back for a three or four dollar profit. My local bookstore knows nothing of Manga worth and they usually end up selling well known titles for four or five dollars.

I think the phrase "Ignorance is bliss" fits this situation. Thier ignorance is your bliss. I see that in your pictures, great and powerful as it is, you don't have Tenjho Tenge. This means one of either three things:
1- You don't like it
2- You've never heard of it
or
3- You are waiting for a un-edited version like me

I've seen the anime and couldn't get into it honestly. But, if all they have is an edited version then I probably want and unedited one. They wouldn't edit it if it didn't have anything to see. And thank for the compliment.

You're welcome

Dear lostleader

Its was very nice of you to post your manga collection, it is very extensive and pretty to look at. As I was looking over your pictures I saw quite a few Battle Royals and I was wonderinng if you could tell me what the story is like, I have been wondering if I should start getting it or not.

sincerely

LightHawk

Very nice Lostleader. How is Battle Vixens and Tsubusa? I have volume one of Tsubusa and have liked it thus far but haven't been able to find anymore. The same goes with Trigun Maximum five through twelve, though my bookstore does have thirteen.

Mine's pretty sad compared to everyone elses. It'll expand dramatically once I get a job, but so far I'm just using the library for my manga fix.

Fruits Basket vol. 1-23 - Complete
Loveless vol. 1-8 - Incomplete
Rurouni Kenshin 1-28 - Complete

You may not have the variety but you still have more manga volumes than me.

Let's get some comics up in this thread.

I don't have my entire collection here with me, but I'll post what is here. Everything will be left-to-right, top-to-bottom.


Serenity: Those Left Behind, Serenity: Better Days Angel: After the Fall books one and two.


Sin City collection. The Hard Goodbye, A Dame to Kill For, The Big Fat Kill, That Yellow Bastard, Family Values, Booze, Broads & Bullets, Hell and Back


Scott Pilgrim. Precious Life, vs. The World, & The Infinite Sadness


Watchmen, Batman: Year One, Tales from the Clerks


Preacher book one, Y: The Last Man book one, Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall

Yup. That's like...I dunno, 1/10000000 of what I've actually read and whatnot.

Dear Nolan

Dear LightHawk,

It's a 'canonical' continuation of Angel: The Series, the television show that ran on the WB from 1999-2004. A 'season six' if you will. The story is by series creator Joss Whedon and comic book/screenplay writer Brian Lynch, the script is all Lynch. It picks up several months after the finale of the tv series.

It is quite good, but probably only going to make a lot of sense if you watched the show.

Your pal,

Dear Nolan

I will have to watch the show first but what is the show about? Who is in it?Thank you for replying to my letter, you are very kind.

Sincerely

LightHawk

Dear LightHawk,

Angel is a television series spin-off of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though it is not extremely necessary to one in order to follow the other. It helps in some instances, but for the most part the shows remain separate.

Angel is the lead and title character (obviously), and is a vampire. Except unlike most, or all vampires, Angel was cursed and now has a soul, and as such is one of the 'good guys,' though tormented by the actions he performed while soulless. He goes to Los Angeles and somewhat accidentally finds himself opening up a Private Detective agency with the help of some old and new friends, specializing in paranormal investigation, mostly.

It is an ensemble show, with an exceptionally strong cast. David Boreanaz is Angel, and it also stars Charisma Carpenter, Alexis Denisoff, Glenn Quinn, J. August Richards, Amy Acker and more.

It is one of my most favouritest shows ever. I highly recommend it.

Yours truly,
-nolan
