HEY LOVELY PEOPLE OF CNC

I'm putting together an Amazon order and since the lovely backpack I'm getting automatically qualifies for free shipping, I'm lumping some comics books in with it for extra awesome. I'm definitely getting the first book of XIII, but since I'm trying to build a Bat Collection, I was wondering...

WHAT BATBOOKS WOULD YOU GUYS RECOMMEND? I'm looking primarily at ones that deal with the Joker and how he functions with Batman, so The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum are ones I'm thinking about. But if there's "better" ones that are a better starting point for comics!Bruce please, please let me know?

PS: RUNAWAYS MOVIE. WTF IS THIS. DISCUSS?

The art's really nice. Coloring's a bit inconsistent, but I can totally appreciate it. Nguyen draws a super-cute Selina, too. *A*

CUTE THINGS ARE ALWAYS A PLUS. I might have to make a COMIC TRADES, ROUND 2 at this rate for my birthday. I'd be able to buy more, but Otakon is right around the corner and I'm sort of. Saving my money for that.

I have like a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge list of ones I want and I check regularly on amazon if something goes down. Very rarely do I ever see something cheaper on eBay (except for like, Underworld Unleashed, which I have been waiting forever to own awwwwwwww yeah).

I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THE OLD SHOWCASE TPBS OF PHANTOM STRANGER. I believe you can still get them relatively cheap and the writing was some of the best of its time. But more importantly, it's pretty cheap.

I have the benefit of having an AMAZING used book store nearby that does graphic novels as well, so I check in there sometimes too.

But basically, if someone could just open my head and fill it with comic books, I'd be happy.

I have one, but they're not too cheap. And though we've got a comic store nearby, I will say that Zatanna #1 (non-variant) is already marked-up to $9.99 and it's not even like NM condition. Thus, I mostly buy off the internets or stalk flea markets/antique malls.

Same, but also with coffee and peanut butter pie and.... Bruce Campbell.
