1. Dark Imagery - Batman and Gotham City by Craig Horowitz
   
   Out of the many comic books being published there are few that have as much versatility as the Batman titles. While others are often tied to strict rules regarding the character's positive image and "family friendly" environments, Batman and his Gothic metropolitan home are left shrouded in mystery which allows them to bend the rules slightly. This can lead to interesting story possibilities for the Dark Knight that simply aren't possible in other comic book character's titles...

   There are many comics out there but only so much time and money to spend on them.

4. Silver Surfer Comics - Not Like the Movie by Henry Timmons
   
   I was shocked when I saw the second Fantastic Four movie and the Silver Surfer was a villain. The Silver Surfer comics were about a hero. It was how the original comic book hero was but then they killed him off in the movie.
   
   
5. Discount Comics - Some Are Dirt Cheap by Henry Timmons
   
   Depending on what characters you are looking for, there are many in the discount comics sections of not only the stores but on the internet. The prices online can go as low as $0.74 per issue. The discount prices usually come with a disclaimer or limiting the amount you can purchase.
   
   
6. Vintage Comics - Old But Good by Henry Timmons
   
   For many of us, all we know about comic books is that we like them and vintage comics are just old ones. No matter how old we get, there is still that strange appeal to pick one up at the store and look at it. I have noticed that the older I get the more I appreciate things. One of them is vintage comics.
   
   
7. Rare Comic Books - How Much Are You Willing to Spend? by Henry Timmons

12. Comics 101 - What Are Super-Heroes? by R. Wesley Smith
    
    A super-hero is a fictional character - typically an adventurer or vigilante of some sort - with superhuman powers or abilities (physical, mental or spiritual in nature), whose exploits are chronicled almost entirely in comic books or other media adaptations of those comic book adventures. These are typically children's cartoons, but several super-hero movies have been released in the past 10 years.

15. Comics 101 - What is the Post-Modern Age of Comics? by R. Wesley Smith
    
    Most comic book historians and fans consider the era we're currently in as modern. But there is no doubt that something in the comic book industry has created a fundamental shift in the foundation of both the business and entertainment sides of the medium sometime in the early part of the new millennium. Soon, I think the pundits will announce that comic book publishing has entered a new age, and the previous one-the one now known as the "Modern Age" will be reclassified as something else (the most likely candidates will probably be the Platinum or Iron Ages). However, since that era has not been labeled, the only thing we can accurately call the current era of comic book publishing is the "Post-Modern" era.
    
    
16. Comics 101 - What is the Modern Age of Comics? by R. Wesley Smith

18. A Look at George Carlin's Book "3x Carlin - An Orgy of George" by Shawn Morrison
    
    This book is great time passer whether your a fan of Carlin or not. It reads almost like a dictionary of humor and ideas. More often than not George Carlin comedy will make you think about things a whole new way and laugh about it. That's one of my favorite things to do is just read a random passage from this book and have a good chuckle. Needless to say, this great for any down time you experience during your day as it doesn't read like a normal book more like a reference guide to short abstract ideas to pass the time.

21. The Future of China and Challenges Ahead - A Book Review by Lance Winslow
    
    Many folks enjoyed John Nesbitt's book MegaTrends China, which was interesting, however many of the future predictions he made did not exactly pan out as he'd hoped or thought they would. Ten years later in hindsight we see he was close but off by a decade or more, but that's okay "change is never as fast as we think it will be," as he stated in his recent book "Mindset." But how would you like to read a book written by someone from within China, a bio-researcher with a European College Education, that has gone back to China ...

    It seems like everyone owned some comics of one kind or another over the years and there's nothing like having a relative clean out some boxes and find your old treasure trove. But what do you do with them? Keep them or sell them? A lot of movies have been made from comics over the years and there are many more to come. Now you have to answer the big questions: How and where do I sell these things? Are they even worth the trouble? How do I know what condition they are in? You could go your local comic book shop, but most shops will only give you 50% of guide price - if they are even buying.
    
    
24. The Gothic Imagery of Batman by Mik R Smith
    
    Out of all of the original superheroes of yesteryear only Batman has all of the right imagery, atmosphere, characters and settings to be deemed as true Goth. There were a few elements attached to some of the other crime fighters that had a Gothic slant; 'Ghost Rider', 'The Phantom' and even Will Eisner's 'The Spirit' had certain attributes but Batman is the closest to being truly 'Gothic'.
