New Comic Guide: The Definitive Guide to Watchmen

November 23, 2017 by krisis

Yesterday, DC resurrected The Watchmen’s universe in the first issue of Doomsday Clock, a year-long event that gives us our first glimpse of what happened after the end of Watchmen 20 years ago.

To commemorate the occasion, starting today my new Watchmen guide is available to the general public! This new guide was made possible through the support of the Patreon community, who pay for Crushing Krisis’s regular monthly expenses.

My goal with this guide was to create something distinctly different from other Watchmen references on the web. I didn’t just want a bibliography or an encyclopedia article, but something in the middle that tracks every reprint of the original series and still offers some interesting insights.

How many of Watchmen’s 10 collected formats do you own? How many of the three cuts of the film have you watched? Have you read any of the Before Watchmen series? Do you know the Charlton Comics character equivalents for all of the characters, including which of them made it into the DC Universe proper after Crisis?

The guide answers all of those questions, and will be the home to Doomsday Clock information as the series progresses across the next twelve months.

Crushing Comics S01E23 – Secret Wars II, female protagonists, and what it means when omnibuses are “out of print”

November 23, 2017 by krisis

Today I unwrap one of Marvel’s largest early omnibuses – Secret Wars II! The first ever sequel event was also Marvel’s first event with line-wide tie-ins, including Spider-Man teaching the Beyonder how to… well, you’ll see.

Before I dig in Secret Wars, I share a story about my lifelong obsession with strong female protagonists. Afterward, I explain what it really means when we say an omnibus is “out of print.”

Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

Episode 23 features the Secret Wars II Omnibus (Amazon / eBay), which is covered in the Guide to Marvel Events. I also mention my Guide to Watchmen, which makes its public debut today! More on that a little bit later.

Crushing Comics S01E22 – X-Force by Kyle & Yost Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 and X-Force/Cable: Messiah War

November 22, 2017 by krisis

In part two of unwrapping a big brick of X-Men, I tackle 2008’s X-Force revival as a Wolverine-led team of violent fixers, including how I went from a skeptic to a fan and how Messiah War shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Messiah Complex and Second Coming. (Go even more in-depth on this run with my Most Wanted Omnibus post!)

Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

Episode 22 features X-Force, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 by Kyle & Yost OHC (Amazon Vol. 1 / Amazon Vol. 2 / eBay) and X-Force/Cable: Messiah War (Amazon / eBay), but I also discuss X-Necrosha (Amazon / eBay) and X-Men: Second Coming (Amazon / eBay). Find the full collection details of all of those books in the Guide to X-Force.

Updated: The Definitive Guide to Marvel’s Runaways Comic Books

November 21, 2017 by krisis

Today Marvel’s Runaways become stars of the small screen with the debut of their series on Hulu and their much-wanted omnibus collection has finally been announced. To commemorate this momentous double occasion, I’ve updated The Guide to Marvel’s Runaways!

If you don’t need a complete listing of every comic book issue the Runaways have ever starred in, but would like to learn a little bit more about them and figure out where to start (or, even just figure out of you want to watch their TV show), just keep reading!

Crushing Comics S01E21 – X-Men: Manifest Destiny and Dark Avengers / X-Men: Utopia

November 21, 2017 by krisis

After a brief digression about how weight training helps with comic collecting, I unwrap a hefty brick of six books, including a pair of X-Men “Manifest Destiny” volumes and the X-Men’s throwdown with Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers. The episode ends in a cliffhanger, as I tease what the other half of the brick holds in store.

Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.

 

Episode 21 features X-Men: Manifest Destiny (Amazon), Uncanny X-Men: Manifest Destiny (Amazon), and Avengers/X-Men: Utopia (Amazon / eBay). This material is covered in the guide to Uncanny X-Men’s Matt Fraction era as well as in the guide to Bendis’s Dark Avengers.
