Is this co-op thing working with graphic novels only? I like the idea and have a number of them I could throw into the cause. I just need to iventory them because I can't remember what they are right now.

I need to start compiling a list of who's participating, what books they're donating, and how much money they're pledging. Please don't name any books unless you're sure you want to part with them.

I'll participate. What's a good amount to pledge? $20? $40?

I'll have to review before I commit TPB donations.

Given the cost of TPBs, I think $15 or $30 is reasonable.

I can perhaps contribute money once I, you know, have some. But I don't mind pitching in my BW:M? (not sure if we need another) and I can go get the titles of a couple other TPBs once I'm back in my room. Good thing I hadn't packed them yet.

Joss talks about X-Men.

Plei, are you around? The used Bats trades that're at the comic book store are No Man's Land 2 and 5, Bruce Wayne: Fugitive, Vol. II, Nightwing: Big Guns, and the first two Birds of Prey trades (one self-titled, the second one something about "Old Friends"). I know those first two are recommended, but I don't want to read only pieces of the narrative.

I'd rec the Nightwing and BoP trades. (Old Friends, New Enemies, IIRC--that's a title mention, if you have to choose, go with the eponymous one.)

I think the only Nightwing trade I wouldn't rec, unless you are an insane person like me and MUST HAVE everything, would be Ties That Bind. It's expositariffic. All the stuff after that, however, has been spiffy keen nifty.

Really? It's unnecessary for continuity?

Just go for a summary blurb. You can avoid the mullet, the polka-dot shirt, and Alfred doing a fist pump "YES!" if you don't get Ties That Bind.

Hm, okay. Maybe I'll pick them up for the purposes of the Comix Exchange. The Nightwing one did look interesting.
