Here is some good green lantern trades Green lantern: emerald twilght/ new dawn Green Lantern: Baptism of Fire Green LAntern: Emerald Allies Green Lantern Emerald Knights Green Lantern: New Journey Old Path Green Lantern: Power of Ion The first three should start you off, I'd say start off with those see how you like GL

I would give the mattel batman line a b, they have decent sculpts, nice villians. The fact they make the good villians or characters hard to find is what I hate. The justice league line, I'm starting to not like it, you see the same stuff about each wave.

I just wanted to add my thoughts here, from watching dbz(liked the original dragonball better) and reading comics my whole life. I would have to hand it to superman. I notice Goku hardly starts off a battle at full power, He always seems to "play" with his foe. Now I know superman does the same but he is always at his peak, goku has to power up to do so, and I don't think superman would stand there to allow him to do so, maybe superman would see his energy gather with his microscopic vision. Superman will win as long as he finishes the battle quick, if goku happens to get at his full potential, he could basiacally destroy the planet they fight on ten times easily.

I usually like to give everything a chance before I judge it, but I'm not feeling what mattel has done with Justice league. THey just re use figures, put them with clip on stuff, and re sell them. Only two villians out. I was ok with that cause I had the 10" line to fall back on, but they are making wonder woman immpossible to find. I'm just going to get rid of whatever I have from this collection, try to trade it,and keep hawkgirl for the memories. Atleast the animated teen titans line is better off then the justice league line. I wish this line the best of luck but I gotta move on.

just wondering when I should start hunting and what stores I should go to.

alright, thanks for your help.

Does the first one have a special title, so I can ask my comic shop owner to order one?

Momentum, thanks for informing me about the buy sell trade forum. My newbie self never bothered to scroll down, I put a trade list up there. Thanks again!

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew if there were transformer paperbacks or graphic novels out? I want to get into the comic series, but the back issues are cleaned out.

I also saw these at suncoast, looks like batman didn't come with them at all. I would really like one to see the big hype on the lil guy.

As far as the superman figures. Superman, Cyborg Superman, Bizarro, Doomsday are the hardest to find(the superman is the same in the jla wave) Supergirl, Brainiac 13 may be easier to find. The new wave Eradicator, superboy, Steel, and black suited superman are the new wave that came out recently, they may still be able to be re order. DC villians, If your looking for certain ones I could tell you which ones are still easier to find.

jla elite will be a 12 issue series which takes place after what happens in jla #100. The Obsidian age was a jla story which involved the jla going to find the missing aquaman. I don't want to spoil the story, but I just wanted to give you the basic story of it.

The treadmill does indeed resemble one, which is kind of funny now that I think of it. The Jsa trades are not that old, its off the current series out now. The max may be about 4 or 5 years old. HAve your comic shop order JSA vol. 1, I'm sure you will like it, and if you have any questions, I can answer them. Major D was a former villian(real name Paul Booker) inspired by Superman do use his powers to do good. His powers are....to make disasters. You name it he can do it. Earthquake, floods, blackouts, flat tires, meoteors. If its a diasaster he can do it. He joined the team during obsidian age. Faith's origins are unknown. She is a powerful telekinetic, also has healing powers from what I've seen. She also appeared in the obsidian age. Manitou Raven confuses the hell out of me and I never really cared for his character(kinda boring imo), He is a indian from 3 billion years ago who has magic capabilities. You gotta read obsidian age to understand him, unless someone else wants to take a shot at him. The jla roster will be changing soon, Major D and Manitou will be on the justice league elite coming out next month.

the popular JLA wave is getting re released. (Superman, Flash(wally west) Wonder Woman, aquaman, and Green LAntern(kyle rayner), make wave 1) The hush wave you should jump on now, they are close to being sold out if not all ready(atleast pick up a batman or a huntress) Teen Titans wave one comes out in sept.(robin, wonder girl, deathstroke, and black fire) and wave 2 in jan. (superboy, kid flash, ravager, and brother blood) Jla wave 2 in november (atom, firestorm, elongated man, and adma strange) First appearance wave 1 is out now(flash(jay garrick, Batman, Shazam, and wonder woman) Wave 2 is out in november( HAwkman, Green LAntern(alan scott) robin(dick grayson) and superman) Ask about any other dc figures your interested in and I can tell you if they are easy to get or not. Hope I helped.

The cosmic Treadmill was basically what the flash can use to travel in time. thats all I know about it really

Sorry left off your other questions. Right now. The JLA(as of issue #100) Contains. Superman, BAtman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green LAntern(john stewart), Major diasater, FAith, Manitou Raven, MArtian Manhunter, Plastic Man, and THe Atom. I'm guessing Firestorm is still a member but I have not seen him lately. REcommended trade paperbacks: JLA:vol 1 New world order JLA vol 7 Tower of Babel. JLA vol 10 &11, The Obsidian age The jsa includes Mr Terrific Wildcat Original Flash (jay Garrick) Green Lantern( Alan Scott) Stargirl aka Star Spangled kid aka Star Hawkgirl Power Girl Hourman (rex tyler) Dr. Mid-nite REcommended JSA trades JLA/JSA Virtue & Vice Jsa Vol one Justice be done JSA vol 2 Darkness Falls JSA vol 3 Return of HAwkman JSA vol 5 Stealing thunder Might as well get vol 4 as well if you can. Is gorrilla Grodd a flash villian? Yep, He is a major villian of Flash. Prehaps the most deadly he has right now. Why is there a need for the JSA if there is a JLA Simply, if you can't get the JLA, they are the next big guns. They were the first super hero team, they started the legacy, and they are hoping to continue it. THe JLA can't be everywhere. It's a great book and I high reccomend the trades. If you have anymore questions ask. Hope I helped.

I will try to help as much as I can. THis is basically a cut down version of what happend. So far, in the flash, He had fought the new zoom(reverse flash), zoom(real name hunter zolomon) was a friend of the flash(back then the flash's id was public knowledge). He wanted flash to use the cosmic treadmill to reverse the effects of his injury(leg was injured_\) Flash refused so he tried it himself, bad idea leading to his becoming zoom. Zoom basically fought the flash and his flash allies, in the middle, he attacked his wife who was pregnant with his chidlren. She lost her kids due to the attack. Flash defeated zoom by using jesse quicks lended speed which allowed him to go beyond speed(zoom wasn't using super speed, he was actually using time to move fast, therefore putting flash in a different level then him) and he defeated zoom. Flash was going to then retire, Barry allen(the former flash) came to convince him not to. The spectre came to help wally by erasing the fact the world ever knew who the flash was. only problem is that wally forgot he was the flash as well. it was two months after that, someone gave him a flash ring(found out it was batman) He had to re learn all his powers before he remembered, batman removed his mask which jump started his memories. He revealed it to his wife(who hated flash for getting her babies killed by his recklessness) who later left him while he was away. His jla members also forgot and demanded he tell as well. Buy the flash :blitz paperback which comes out in july 8 for part of this story

Thanks SuperK, I'm sorry for not mentioning it earlier, but I meant to say golden age hourman from the jsa wave, I ran out of space in the topic title. Most online stores I tried are sold out, and altough I got lucky with getting a martian manhunter for $30, I have a feeling power girl is going to be more of a struggle imo. Thanks for the help!

Its so hard to say what his colors are today, I read robin 127 yesterday, he was in black and blue, pick up a issue of jla and he could be blue and gray. It's no big deal to me, honestly. I say just bring the bat.

This will be my first time buying anything to do with the character, never really knew what he was all about. Hope it's good. Always looking for great reads.

I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get these to figures or anyone selling theirs(for a fair price) . I was trying to get them for a good price on e bay but I usually can't win her at the end.

Are you talking about the hong kong tru in ocean terminal(in kowloon place) I don't know if thats the only tru there, but I love that one. sorry to be off topic, just hoping to go to hong kong again soon.(hopefully next month) it's easier to find figures(marvel legends, mattel batman, justice league, etc) there and the shopping is nice.

I just picked up my flash, a nice classic look to the figure. Fits in well with my jsa figures. The head sculpt on flash would make a good custom figure for a tempset figure.

Since I wasn't born when crisis was out(and 30 bucks for a trade paperback is alot...) I voted for others, since I heard dr. light was in it and its a character I liked when I was little(go justice league europe/international!) I think I'll be the odd man out and ask for her.
