Busy!

Lots happening lately! I stumbled on the gold mine that is eBay, midtown comics, and mycomicshop!  I will soon have the complete '98 series!! I got the bulk of them today. I could only read issue #0 though because #1 is coming from a different source. Hopefully they will all be here this week.  Also found the funeral issue I was looking for. That took a bit of research and I ended up having to do a reverse image lookup to find out what book it was in.

I learned that J'onn's death happened in Final Crisis, but when I thumbed through the book, I did not find this scene. It didn't seem like that book would have time for a scene like this. I thought maybe he must have died more than once. (This could still be a possibility as I have a long way to go before I know all I want to know.) Then I found out there was a special Final Crisis issue devoted to J'onn's death and the impact it has on the other JLA members. It's currently on its way to me. The image of Batman placing the Choco on J'onn's casket is heart wrenching! 

I'm very close to having all the comics devoted to MM. I need to get the '06 series and the second volume of early MM. I'm debating whether Blackest Night would be worth getting. I'm not crazy about Green Lantern. I don't know all that much about him and I don't know how big J'onn's role is in the series.  The synopsis is really intriguing though. It just seems like it's more of a Green Lantern story than anything else. Again, it will require a little research. 

I will probably look into some New 52 stories next. I need to checkout the first volume of Stormwatch. From what I've gathered, that was MM's New 52 debut. Also very excited about a new series J'onn will be a part of...
Justice League United. The first issue will be in April. I'm hoping that MM will be the central character due to the fact that he is the largest character drawn in the promotional artwork.
