Anyone know which issues of New, Mighty and Dark Avengers the UK titles are up to? Avengers Unconquered:
29 Includes material reprinted from New Avengers #58-60.
30 Includes material reprinted from Dark Avengers #9-11.
31 Includes material reprinted from Dark Avengers #12, Amazing Spider-Man #601, How to Break into Comics #1 and Dark Reign: The List – Avengers #1.
Mighty World of Marvel:
22 Includes material reprinted from Incredible Hulk #601-603 and Mighty Avengers #31 The last issues I bought were New 57, Mighty 31 & Dark 9 so I know where I am now. Ta. |

Now where were we? Mighty Avengers 30 & 31 At the point I bailed out of buying monthly stuff regularly Mighty was mid story, albeit one that wasn't doing much for me. Now it's concluded I picked both remaining parts up and actually they aren't too bad. 30 is the better issue for me mainly consisting of Pym chatting with Eternity and discovering that he's the Scientist Supreme (and why Reed & Tony aren't) Good stuff with Hawkeye too. Anyone know where the UK Avengers title is up to US wise ? contains Fall of the Hulks Gamma 1 and Mighty Avengers 32 & 33. The Fall of the Hulks story wasn't bad telling the funeral of Thunderbolt Ross with some John Romita Jr art and you can't go wrong there. So pleased to *FINALLY* get back to the Mighty Avengers tale: The Mighty team visit project Pegasus to foil the Absorbing Man's breakout and throw down with the Dark Avengers as Osborn tries to get his hands on the Cosmic Cube. Best £3 I've spent on a reprint comic in a while. also picked up Essential X-Men 18 (X-Men: Legacy Annual #1 and X-Men: Legacy #228-229) last week which wasn't bad, far better than the trail in the annual which I'd read previously led me to believe. Mostly Uncanny next issue (due today, but I couldn't find it) but one more Legacy part in there. Avengers Unconquered 32 (New Avengers Annual #3 and Dark Avengers Annual #1) is someway north of where I left the Avengers (got three issues of Unconquered to track down) but I'd read the story in New Avengers The List where Hawkeye/Ronin gets captured so was happy to get to read his escape organised by the female Avengers. The Dark Annual concentrates on marvel Boy and isn't too bad at all. On the UK reprints big time at the mo. |

So tell me WHS who's idea was it to put the Pannini collected editions on the top shelf where I, a 5ft10 fully grown man, let alone it's target audience can't reach them for love nor money?
Seriously: I had to ask someone else to get me a copy down. I felt like I was buying a copy of "Spanking Nuns Go To Thailand" rather than Essential X-Men!
Poor.

Secured from eBay for less than retail inc postage. Result. Now where were we?

Best £3 I've spent on a reprint comic in a while. Of course it's only after I bought this that I realised that all the Mighty issues I needed were in a single trade. Since there's only one in the next MWOM and I don't see them printing all three of the remaining issues in the one after that I figured I'd save money forking out for the trade. So here it comes. Alan Davis drawing a Namor-centric X-Men story -joy. Greg The Pornomatic Tracebot Land doing X-Men story immediately following it. Crushing come down... You know it's the fourth time I've bought X-Men: The List? Floppy, The List TPB and the UXM Utopia HC that Amazon had mispriced last year. |

Avengers Unconquered 33 Bendis mucks about witht the Senrty's origin, and sets Siege in motrion. OK, I don't hold with mucking about with people's origin's especially like this which changes the tone completely. But on the other hand n it's the Sentry so nobody apart from Ian or Liz cares,
Fantastic Four Adventures 19 Best issue so far, 2 great new stories one with the Mole Man having trouble with the High Evoloutionary's cast offs and the other with a new undersea kingdom, the story obviously being inspired by the GI Joe silent issues.

Picked both up to read today, though FF got a bit mangled in my work bag, argh.
I'm not minding Siege so much in the 3 issues for £3 format in Avengers.

I was weak. I bought Wolverine & Deadpool - it's the Deadpool "joins" the X-Men story - and liked it. It was written by Danial Way. I feel dirty.
I also bought Astonishing Spiderman (I've been away and wanted something to read). Not bad. May have to track down the Panini Astonishing Spiderman reprints of Brand New Day.

Why isn't Panini's Essential X-Men biweekly like Astonishing Spiderman?
UXM, XM Legacy, Astonishing X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor and some reprints/limited series easily fills 6 slots a month.

What are folk reading from the UK newsstand? I've made an effort to pick up UK titles more this year due to the sadly shrinking size of the market and wishing to show some support.
For myself, I regularly pick up 2000AD and the Megazine after getting back into them late last year and Panini's Fantastic Four Adventures reprints since it began running the Hickman material.
I don't read them regularly but when the mood strikes me I pick up Commando (still running new material in amongst the reprints) and Panini's X-Men and Avengers reprint titles. I did read Marvel Heroes now and then until it ran out of UK material.

Now they've caught up to the point where I bailed out of the US Market I'm reading FOUR Panini titles:
Essential X-Men
Avengers Unconquered
Fantastic Four Adventures
Astonishing Spider-Man (biweekly)
The Panini titles represent the best value for money way of getting Marvel UK Material. I was buying X-Men & Avengers in US form. I'm getting FF for Hickman but it's not rocking my world like his Secret Warriors does. Astonishing Spider-Man however is the best material Marvel have published for years - I'm loving it. Even if you had problems with how Marvel got here I urge you to try it.
Doctor Who magazine also has a strip, but I've not read that properly since the new series started.

It could only be found from time to time (other than, oddly, the specials) before early 1996. Only after I moved back to Glasgow could I find it every month (and a huge supply of back issues from FPG!).

At the moment I am picking up:
FF Adventures
2000AD
The Batman Reprint title

I think that is pretty much my lot for regular UK newsstand purchases.

Hmmm, even with discounts and dropping some titles comics are just eating up too much cash. Dropping Marvel US stuff when Fear Itself ends and Daredevil hits #6. I'll just wait and read material in the Panini editions. It's significantly cheaper that way. -Ralph Too right. We love Panini here. 3 US comics for £3? Sold. Better than trades. |

Yep. Was picking up their FF title and now am picking up their Avengers and X-men ones too. Such better value at roughly a pound per US comic and I like the 3-in-1 format.
The only US published comics I plan to keep picking up past November are Chew and The Unwritten. Otherwise single issue prices are just too expensive now for casual reading.

I get their Spiderman too. Getting tempted by the Marvel Legends.
Must mail Panini to ask if they're doing Secret Avengers and where it's going.....

I'd be surprised if they're doing Secret Avengers. Did that not start before the comics currently published in the newsstand collector editions?

Secret Avengers started with the new series of Avengers which start after Siege. www.newsarama.com/comics/marvel-september-2011-solicitations-110614.htmlAvengers is 17 this month, New Avengers 16 & Secret Avengers also 17. Thing is there was this god awful "Cap, Thor & Iron Man are the Avengers" LS at around the same time that I'm worried we'll get instead of Secret |

The one issue of MWOM I read was good, but I only wanted it for Mighty Avengers and workeed out it's be cheaper to buy the trade.
On a similar theme I see that Essential X-Men is reprinting Second Coming for the next 5 months. I make that £14.75. Well the trade ain't that much more so I may skip the next few months of EXM
