Comic book runs I love, the 1987 to 1992 Suicide Squad from DC Comics. #booksky #comicsky Took an old concept and characters no one really cared about and influenced comic books for years to come. Written by John Ostrander, with art by Luke McDonell and Karl Kesel with cover by Howard Chaykin.

DC Comics Presents 62 Superman and the Freedom Fighters. Cover by Gil Kane. Forty seven years later and as timely as ever in this deeply stupid time we live in. #booksky #comicsky

The classic Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo started being published on December 20 1982. Phenomenal piece of work. #booksky #comicsky If you haven't read it or watched the movie you really should.

I'll admit I was sceptical about the Absolute line from DC Comics. I hadn't read the event that set it up but because of the creative teams involved I gave it a chance. Some of the best comic books of 2025 if you ask me. #booksky #comicsky #DCcomics

Obviously with a little over a week until Christmas it would be irresponsible to buy any more old comic books. The Spectre 3 from 1968 with this beautiful Neal Adams cover is now a treasured part of my irresponsible asses collection. #booksky #comicsky

R.I.P. to the great American auteur Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner made seven excellent movies from 1984 to 1992, an incredible run for anyone. Incredible human being and filmmaker. Tragic news about him and his wife. #filmsky

Another exceptional comic book from 2025 is Assorted Crisis Events from Image Comics. Writer Deniz Camp is certainly having a great year and artist Eric Zawadzki is doing incredible work. #booksky #comicsky

We're Taking Everyone Down With Us from Image comics is one of the best comic books I read in 2025. Shades of the Venture Bros with a dash of Archer but also it's own wild ride. #booksky #comicsky Creative team of Stefano Landini and Matthew Rosenberg

Happy Absolute Joker day to all who celebrate, Absolute Batman 15 out today with a cover by Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin #comicsky #booksky

I'm generally over stories about serial killers but Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring by Patrick Horvath is one of the great comic books of 2025. #booksky #comicsky

One of my absolute favourite books of 2025 Helen of Wyndhorn from Dark Horse Comics. Stunning artwork by Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes. Written by Tom King. #booksky #comicsky

Most recent pick up because I can't see a talking frog in danger and then not learn the outcome of the story. Shazam 18 from 1975 cover by Bob Oksner #comicsky #booksky

I'll sleep when I'm dead an oral history of the late great Warren Zevon by his ex Crystal Zevon. Incredibly talented and flawed musical genius that doesn't shy away from the ugly parts of his life. #booksky

Newest addition to the collection Shazam 2 from 1973. #comicsky

Going to be an absolutely great day at the comic shop with this double shot of greatness hitting the shelves. #booksky #comicsky Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Batman

Sisu: Road to Revenge was lots of fun. Over the top action from the Finnish master filmmaker Jalmari Helander #filmsky

A really fun series focusing on some of the less popular Spider-Man baddies, The Superior Foes of Spider-Man with cover by Steve Lieber #booksky #comicsky

Feeling pretty spacey with two banger comic books this week. New Gods and the long awaited return of Nova. #comicsky #booksky

Most recent pick up Showcase 56 with a great Murphy Anderson cover. #comicsky #booksky

My straining book shelf won't thank me nor my wallet but I'm picking this up. #booksky #comicsky

Two exceptional books from this week. #comicsky #booksky

Some random pulls from the bookshelf for some reading this weekend. #booksky #comicsky Can't go wrong with Bradbury, Los Bros Hernandez and Pat Mills and Simon Bisley

Predator Badlands was a really fun popcorn movie. Loved it. #Filmsky

Filling some holes with this Amazing Adventures Featuring The Beast 17. Jim Starlin cover art I believe #comicsky #booksky

With the weather getting colder and damper I think it's time to give this masterpiece a reread, From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell #comicsky #booksky

One of the best to ever do it. The late great Darwyn Cooke. #comicsky

I think I;m going to pick this up, I'm a sucker for anything drawn by the late great Ramona Fradon. #comicsky #booksky

Halloween recommendation of Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees by writer/artist Patrick Horvath, . This book is as good as everyone says it is. #booksky #comicsky

A modest but strong week at the old comic book shop this week #booksky #comicsky

Not a huge week for new comics this week but there is a new Hickman penned book in Imperial and I'm always happy to get any amount of my second favourite Inhuman Lockjaw. #comicsky #booksky

I absolutely don't need this. But I do want it very badly. #Spider-man

Walt Simonson's run on Thor is truly one of the great Marvel runs of the 80s. #comicsky #booksky This was my first issue reading it and the hook wen't in deep.

Nobody draws skulls better than Kelly Jones (maybe Mignola) and his Batman is fun too #booksky #comicsky

Off the shelf for a re-read of The Dark Horse Book of the Dead with another banger cover by Gary Gianni #booksky #comicsky

Great time to pull this off the bookshelf and give it a re-read. The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings with a killer cover by the incredible Gary Gianni #booksky #comicsky

Weird War Tales 40 cover by the great Ernie Chan #booksky #comicsky

With the glorious return of Vertigo (which should have never left) here's an early book that really made me a huge fan. #booksky #comicsky Shade the Changing Man #2

Another great comic book artist that was gone too soon, Mike Parobeck #comicsky #booksky

A panel from Superman For All Seasons by the late great Tim Sale. #booksky #comicsky

So close to finishing collecting this run but I'd buy a DC Finest collecting all 18 issues as well. #booksky #comicsky Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter by Dennis O'Neil and Jim Berry

First appearance of Stilt Man by the great Wally Wood. #booksky #comicsky

The Spectre from 1967. Neal Adams doing the art. #comicsky #booksky

Happy Ghost of Yotei launch day to all who celebrate avenging your murdered family. #playstation

Recent Pick Up, Elvira's House of Mystery 2 from 1986. Cover by Denys Cowan, Rick Magyar and Dick Giordano. #booksky #comicsky

About time for a re-read of All Star Squadron DC Comics from the early 80s. I simply can't imagine any real world compulsion to read this again right now. #booksky #comicsky

I miss Keith Giffen comic work, he could write and draw the hell out of anything, like this dope Dr. Fate cover. #comicsky #booksky

In 1994 there was a serious drought of good comic books, then DC Comics released Starman. Just a gem of a series. Aside from Leave It To Chance which didn't last long this is in my opinion the best thing James Robinson ever wrote and Harris/Von Grawbadger art is incredible. #booksky #comicsky

Just a banger week for comic books. #comicsky #booksky

Well I didn't get raptured (again!!) but I did get two new books. Going to heaven through reading like a good book nerd. #booksy #comicsky
