So, a friend of mine (one of our DMs) runs a company called Dreamer Design that, among other things, does some comic book lettering.
Dreamer did most of the lettering for Devil's Due Publishing and Top Cow (and some Image comics, since those are subsidiaries of Image).
After they ended that relationship, they were left with a TON of comics from those companies. Like 3-7 copies of most of the comics those companies ever published (as file copies, in case the letterer needed to reference something, though why they needed more than one copy I do not know).
Dreamer didn't want these boxes of comics taking up so much space in their offices. So, they gave them all to me.
My wife and I are selling them on our eBay store, which we named YetiMoose (shameless plug).
What I want to know is - is any of this stuff so good that I should be reading it before I sell them? I was looking at, for example, some of the J. Michael Straczynski stuff like Rising Stars and Midnight Nation. And we have some Dragonlance comics, and something called KORE that looked like it might be good, along with Michael Turner's Fathom. And lots of GI Joe, Witchblade, The Darkness (whatever the heck that is, though the art looks good), and Tomb Raider, throw-back stuff like Voltron and Micronauts and Transformers, and some anime-looking stuff called Battle of the Planets. And, well, a whole ton of stuff I have not listed (basically anything published by Top Cow, Devil's Due, or most of Image)!
Anyway, has anyone read any of this stuff? Anything I should check out?
