^It's all great. If you like the first collection, I'm sure you'll like the others.

But publication order of trades is
Life in the Big City
Confession
Family Album (the first three stories...

Well said and to a lesser degree even the issues in the multi-part arcs do their best to self contained for being part of a story arc.

Below Natalie Furst, is Stray, on the left and Ruby on the right, both members of the Irregulars. The flying character is ambiguous to who it is. The Wizard cover was from 1998 and I can't think of...

I agree with most of the other's general assessments. Promethea for me was a bit boring, but it's probably been 10 years, since I've read them, so 10 years wiser it might be better than as a 15-16...

I'm having flashbacks to being on Astro City related message board comments circa 2001-2002...

My thoughts exactly when I first was reading this. Speeding Bullets came out in 1993 or 94 I think.

It's a shame herocopia.com is down....
Here's the actual publication order:
Astro City Vol.1 #1-6
Astro City #1/2
Astro City Vol.2 #1-22
"Since the Fire"
Astro City Local Heroes #1-5...

It depends on which storyline you've read. There are quite a few that take place in the past, like the recent Dark Age arcs. But unless it specifically states so, it's implied it's taking place...

Astro City goes in "real" time...

See my post about favorite and best...

Here's what I think are the Ten Best. At the moment anyway

1. "Show 'Em All"
2. "The Nearness of You" (1/2 issue)
3. "In Dreams" (vol. 1 #1)
4. "A...

Off the top of my head at the moment...

Anything by Alan Moore
I've never read it but Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud is another GN that gets a lot of praise.
Superman Secret Identity ...

You're out of luck with Confession. The only HC version of it, comes Signed and Numbered. I think the whole run was 1200 (too lazy to go check). Every other HC collection has non- S&N versions.
...

That was kind of what I was meaning. Brent has on his site July 2010 was the target date to start the monthly back up. The Silver Agent special came out August/early September and when the Wildstorm...

Well, it was supposed to have been monthly already a few months ago(From the original long-term plans)...

But here was Kurt's blog post from a month ago. I'm not too worried, Astro City will...

That's one of the best comic stories I've ever read and there were tons of great stories in that mini too...

^Maybe Brent's new digital drawing? The scenes in the past with the dots were more annoying for me..

^ Not trying to spoil anything for you, but aside from a few mentions and flashbacks, it's pretty much the Agents story over time in part one...
It was a pretty solid read for me, but seemed to...

So, anybody else read this yet?

I'd been re-reading the first three series, before the last book came out and they're quite strong together in putting the Williams brothers story together.
Re-reading Book Two, it felt like...

It was another solid issue, but after I got home I realized I still hadn't gotten issue 2 yet though(I think a mix of it not getting pulled for me last month), but it was a nice read, even without...

^ It's Kurt Busiek and Astro City; its all worth tracking down.
The short story is okay. The neat part is that the guide has a write up of the city's early history(written as if it was in-world...

I think a lot of it would draw from classic American literature, some of the earliest incarnations. Natty Bumpo, Captain Ahab, Rip Van Winkle, Hester Prynne, The Headless Horseman as mentioned. ...

I'm sure they will be traded eventually. I can't recall what KB and others have said. I think something was said that TPB it would be split in two volumes. And all together there will be 4 character...
