Top Ten Books for a Desert Island

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 4 фев 2024
  • On this Top Ten I pick the ten books I'd take with me to a desert island. The premise is I can ONLY take ten from my existing collection for the rest of my days! No internet, no stores, no climate control and no rescue!
    --------
    After more than four decades collecting and reading comicbooks and related pop culture (TV, movies, video games, etc) as of 2022 I am sharing reviews/overviews of my collection. The plan is at least one new video every Monday!

      I think they are timeless.....which is one reason I was SOOO disappointed with the Disney+ Show. Had very little to do with the original version of the character.

    It's very Larry how you overcomplicated the assignment and also went on a tangent regarding the proper terminology. And yes, the answer is Mary Ann.

    I like the detailed thought out problems of bindings and climate, going that extra mile for this conudrum. I like your selection.

    @GoreVidalComicbooks 6 месяцев назад +1

    Interesting choices. Surprised to see Moon Knight as number 1, not because it isn't good, but unusual for a reader to rank as high. I think the wordier comics would be wiser choices to pick under the circumstances.

    Interesting choices and I'm surprised to see no DC or actually any comics at all outside Marvel. For me, I'm gonna cheat and count hardcover/trade runs since I don't read omnis too often. These are off the cuff entirely and I'm sure I've forgotten others!

    The Incal
    Criminal
    The Invisibles
    The Sandman
    Hellboy

    I would rather be stuck on a dessert island, especially if there was an abundance of Black Forest cake. 😉
    But, seriously, folks: I would limit myself to COMIC books because, as much as I love comic books, none of them would make my list of Top Ten books in general, not even the Top Twenty list. 🤔
    Mine would be:
    1) Alan Moore's Supreme.
    2) Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.
    3) Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek's Marvels.
    4) The Infinity Gauntlet Saga (Preferably with the Thanos Quest included).
    5) The Korvak Saga.
    6) The beginning of George Perez and Kurt Busiek's run in the Avengers.
    7) JLA/Avengers, also by Perez and Busiek.
    8) A volume collecting a representative sample of some of the best stories from Peter David's run in Hulk (Preferably including the original Maestro story).
    9) The collected original Avengers Forever mini.
    10) The beginning of Kirkman's Invincible.

    Hi Larry,
    interesting video and a question I never asked myself until today.
    Wouldn‘t it be interesting to know the top ten books of your viewers?
    I hope it is okay with the viewers if I give you my top ten books I would want on an deserted island, regardless of the climate conditions or book format.

    09. Justice League of America Bronze Age Omnibus 3
    08. Justice League of America Bronze Age Omnibus 2

    If I was on a desert island then they would get ruined by the conditions.😂 I would cheat and just get an iPad with thousands of comics downloaded onto it and a solar charger so I wouldn’t run out of battery.
