 Hi guys, welcome to Collector Showcase. I'm Shannon. This is our new show we're going to be doing on Comic-Ed and TV. And basically right now, I'm going to be going over my comic book collection as well as my graphic novel and paperback collection. I've been collecting comics on and off since I was probably 10 years old, maybe younger. I'm not entirely sure I can read. But I started out with watching the cartoons every Saturday morning and gradually I worked my way up to comic books. I used to have a lot more comics than this. Over the time I've either sold them or gotten rid of them by other means. So this is my collection so far. Let's go over the graphic novel and paperback. Here's one of my recent editions, Todd McFarlane's Spawn Resurrection. This is from 2015. It's a fairly recent story. I did a review on it on the last episode of Comic-Ed and actually I really liked it. I'm starting to get back into Spawn comics now. I also just got Spawn Volume 2 and Spawn Volume 3, the trade paperbacks. And I'm waiting to get my Volume 1 in the mail. It's coming from the UK though. And a lot of these I haven't even read yet because I just haven't had time. Eventually I plan on reading them all, sitting down for a week or a month or whatever in the off season and just reading them all back to back. This is Batman, Legends of the Dark Knight, Halloween special, Batman Madness. This is from 94, Justice League, The Trinity War. This is from the new 52. We've got Batman, new 52, Volume 6, The Great Yard Shift. This was done by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. We've got new 52, Action Comics Volume 2, Bulletproof. From Grant Morrison and Rags Morales. We've got Daredevil and the Punisher, Child's Play by Frank Miller and Klaus Janssen. This came out back in 1988. We've got Batman Punisher by O'Neill Kitson and Pasco. As you can see, that's the Jean Claude Valley, John Paul Valley, I'm sorry, Batman with Frank Castle. These two got along a lot better than Bruce Wayne and Frank Castle ever did because John Paul Valley is not against killing criminals by any means. This came out back in 94. It's a crossover comic between DC and Marvel. Here's another Batman Punisher by Dixon, Remita Jr. and Janssen. Here's another Marvel DC crossover. This time it's with Bruce Wayne and Frank Castle. They fight each other because, you know, Castle isn't opposed to killing criminals, but Bruce Wayne is. We've got Batman the Occult, Starlin, Ritzen and Ray. I actually haven't read this one yet. Let's see. Copyright 1991. We've got Batman 10 Nights of the Beast. In this, I think this is where Batman kills KGB by locking him in a solitary confinement. Yeah, right there. Locking him in solitary confinement with no means of escape, basically starving him to death. Big deal in the comic book industry from Starlin, Perro and Decarlo. And this came out back in 1994. In The Last Angel by Eric Lustbader, Lee Motor and Scott Hanna. Once again, this is another one that I haven't read yet. Came out back in 94 as well. Batman 89 Movie Special, Comic Edition by Dennis O'Neill, Jerry Ordway and Steve Orlaw. That's number one. And then we've got Batman Returns, the official comic by Dennis O'Neill, Steve Irwin. Jose Luis Garcia Lopez with Tom McGraw. We've got Batman Sword of Azrael with Certificate of Authenticity. Certificate number 2427. I believe this was the introduction of John Paul Valley Eyes Azrael. I did open it, but I haven't read it yet. I broke the seal on it, basically. So got the Certificate of Authenticity and it's still in near mint condition. So walking dead, trade paid for backs. Currently, I've got volume 17 through 25. Pretty much the entire course of the Saviors storyline, starting with Negan, which is where we're at in the TV show right now. Negan was just introduced and it goes all the way up till right before the Whisperer War. The Batman, DC Comics character encyclopedia. Got this from Book Fair at my daughter's, my kid's school. Basically just got all of Superman's allies and enemies and acquaintances. A little brief description on each of them. Pretty cool. Green Lantern, Circle of Fire. I did a review on this a few months back on Comic-In. This came out back in 2000. Green Lantern, Rebirth, which is the return of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. Jeff Johns, Ethan Van Skiver, Prentice Rollins. Introduction was by novelist Brad Meltzer and that came out in 2004. And it eventually led into the Sinestro Corps War from Jeff Johns, Dave Gibbons, Ivan Reyes, Patrick Gleason, Ethan Van Skiver. That's Sinestro Corps War Volume 1. Then we've got Prelate to the Blackest Night, Agent Orange from Philip Tan and Jonathan Clapion and Jeff Johns. I want to say 2009, Revenge of the Green Lanterns by Jeff Johns, Carlos Pechico, Ethan Van Skiver and Ivan Reyes. I believe this is the one where former Green Lanterns, who were still bear ill will against Hal Jordan for slaughtering the Green Lantern Corps during the Emerald Twilight, kind of take them on head on. This came out, came out in 2006. Then we've got Rage of the Red Lanterns, Prelate to Blackest Night by Jeff Johns, Ivan Reyes, Mike MacTone and Shane Davis. This also came out in 2009. This was pretty much the introduction to the Red Lanterns. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Red Lanterns, the Man Hunters preceded the Green Lantern Corps. The Guardians of the Galaxy created the Man Hunters to protect the galaxy. And through a glitch in their programming, they wiped out an entire sector of the galaxy, Sector 666, which included Atrocitus, the leader of the Red Lanterns home planet, which I believe he was away at that time, but he saw it unfold. And through his raid, he was able to develop the Red Lantern. Another prelude to the Blackest Night is Emerald Eclipse, Green Lantern Corps. I believe it's also a 2009 series. Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Cleason, Rebecca Bushman. Then we've got the new 52, Green Lantern Volume 1, with Sinestro back as a Green Lantern. Started by Jeff Johns and Doug Monke. This was the first of the new 52 DC after they did the relaunch after Flashpoint. Then we've got DC Showcase, Green Lantern. This is from the Silver Age of Green Lantern Comics, all of Hal Jordan's early adventures. And I'm a big fan of King Arthur, so I saw this at that book fair as well. Excalibur, The Legend of King Arthur. Graphic novel by Tony Lee and Sam Hart. Star Wars Dark Empire from Dark Horse Comics. We've got Batman, The Killing Joke, which just came out. This is first edition, first printing, as John likes to point out. We've got Batman Venom, which I've also reviewed on Come Again. This is where Bruce Wayne becomes addicted to the drug Venom, which gives Bane his strength. We've got Marvel Comics and Spirits of Venom. Basically, Venom has returned and he's on the hunt for Spider-Man, but he's joined by... He kind of somewhat partners with Ghost Rider, who also partners with Spider-Man. This came out back in 92. We've got The Phantom Man-Eaters by Moonstone. Back in 2006, yes, that's Superman. Batman, Superman, The New 52. Volume 2, Game Over by Greg Pak, Brett Booth, and Jay Lee. Superman, Wonder Woman from The New 52. Volume 1, Power Couple. For those of you who don't know, when The New 52 came about in DC Comics after Flashpoint, Clark Kent and Lois Lane were no more. Now Superman and Wonder Woman were a couple. And this was by Charles Sewell and Tony S. Daniel. A great graphic novel that I'm going to be reviewing in a coming episode of Come Again. Batman Noel by Lee Romejo. And then by the same person, same art style and everything. Also by Brian Azarello, the Joker. Graphic, no. We're going to switch gears in here now. You're going to take a quick break. I'm going to come back and we're going to go over my comic book collection.
