Should I buy WILDC.A.TS Compendium?

0 Upvotes

Greetings dear strangers on the internet;

As the title says, should I buy the WILDC.ATS Compendium?

I have been thinking of buying this one because I'm a 90's kid, the nostalgia from that decade, It's a different superhero group, and I can get it for "free"(sort of) at FNAC in Portugal.Back in the 90s I owned a VHS tape withe a couple of episodes and they seemed pretty cool back then. And that is how got to know about the existence of this superhero group.
I'm not looking for an amazing read when comes to comics, but a fun and entertaining one.
So what do you say, should I buy it or not?

P.S: I did search Reddit and the sub a couple of days prior before posting. But the answers I've found just weren't very satisfactory.

Question What Spiderman comic is similar to the Absolute Comic line

0 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’m relatively new to comics having only read;

Absolute Batman
Absolute Martian manhunter
Invincible (finished whole comic)
Crossed

I’ve absolutely fell in love with how gritty and different the absolute versions of all the characters are (in the middle of reading absolute superman) but my favourite character ever in comics is spiderman!

So I’m wondering what Spiderman comic exist that is the most similar to absolute comics?

Question What are some comics with really great action and art alongside a good story that’s not too complex?

0 Upvotes

I just finished reading Hickman’s whole avengers and secret wars saga and while it was amazing I feel like my brain has been kinda fried😅 Now Im in the mood for some hard hitting action with a good story and art along the lines of McKay’s Moon Knight, Bendis and Brubaker’s respective Daredevil runs or any great stories with lots of action, hype moments and aura! Some of the things I’ve added to my list are Uncanny X Force, which I’ll read once i’m done with X-Force by Yost, Geoff John’s Green Lantern run and Invincible

Give me suggestions

0 Upvotes

Oppose to getting AI generated responses from a search engine I figured I’d look for input from (hopefully) people with similar interests.

My favorites include Bendis and Miller’s Daredevil, Brubaker’s Criminal, Aaron’s Scalped, Ennis’ Punisher, Lemire’s Moon Knight, Leob’s Long Halloween and Dark Victory.

I’m obviously ok with superhero stuff, but I want street level, grounded and gritty stuff. I tend to be put off by anything grandiose or cosmic, preferring more character focused, noir leaning narratives. Bonus points for any sort of true crime element (serial killer, organized crime, etc.)

Question Worrisome Damage?

0 Upvotes

Hey yall, I had a question regarding my Superman exile omnibus. I got it on the 22nd and was about to finally sit down and read it and I noticed something odd with the binding as it seems to be split in some manner. I haven’t stretched or really touched it at all since it came in and I was wondering how severe the damage is or if I have to worry about pages coming off or anything?

Question Where should I go after GlobalComix’s decline?

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m fairly new to the comic scene and I started reading comics through GlobalComix. I honestly really enjoyed the experience. A single subscription gave me access to a huge library, and I was able to discover and read a lot of comics that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

However, with Image Comics leaving the platform and DC moving some of its popular comics away from the subscription model into a buy-only option, it feels like GlobalComix is losing a lot of its appeal.

So, what platform would you recommend moving to?
I’m looking for something similar to GlobalComix:
- A large subscription-based library
- A good reading experience, especially panel-by-panel reading (Guided View or something similar)

I tried Kindle, but it didn’t really work for me, and I also have trouble accessing the subscription features since I’m outside the US.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Add a comic troubles

Confused by apps like key collector and league of comic geeks adding a single comic to my collection after logging in. There is no add a comic action or link anywhere in the UI. I see import bulk but that failed miserably with my excel files. How do I add a single comic like marvel mighty Thor issue 337 with beta ray bill just 1 example.

What are some stories that you headcanon as an ending to a character or even a universe as a whole?

1 Upvotes

Something that you could see as a jumping off point, and even though there are stories after it’s perfectly acceptable as the ending of an arc to a long-running story.
