Discuss: Story Arcs You've Read Multiple Times

Doug: Name 'em, and tell us why! What brought you back, and how about your level of satisfaction on the re-read? And this might be fun -- where did you read these, either the first time or later? For example, you might have been on board for Fantastic Four #s 120-123 (Gabriel and Galactus), but you might have at some point read that story in Marvel Treasury Edition #21.

Just a Thought About Mini-Series and Story Arcs

Doug: I'm about done with my Marvel collection as far as the eBay listings go. Yesterday I decided to take the lid off the first DC longbox and get some things ready to go live (they do later this evening if you're so inclined as to check them out -- information is on the sidebar). While much of my DC collection has been pared down through the years, I did hang onto some "key" issues, arcs, etc. here and there. Of note was what DC was doing in post-Crisis Batman comics.

Doug: In the years after the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, DC pursued a strategy similar to what was catching on at Marvel and within their own publications -- the mini-series. However, with Batman they chose to publish these within the regular monthly books rather than as stand-alone series. Your thoughts on that, pro or con?

Batman: Year One (Batman #s 404-407)
Batman: Ten Nights of the Beast (Batman #s 417-420)
Batman: Year Two (Detective Comics #s 575-578)
Batman: A Death in the Family (Batman #s 426-429)
Batman: Year Three (Batman #s 436-439)
Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying (Batman #s 440-442 and New Titans #s 60-61)
