Thread Question: What is your white whale?
Looking to buy collected volumes? try Amazon or Instocktrades.

>>77462357
My white whale is that 80s collection of The Monster Society of Evil storyline. Only 3000 copies were ever printed. It goes for about $600, last I checked.
>>77462357
Immortal Iron Fist omnibus, all I can do is hope for a reprint when the Netflix show comes around.
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Madman Gargantua
My white whale? The Empowered Deluxe 1 and Madman Atomica and Gargantua.
>>77464157
Missing is my new copy of Jormungand volume 1
>What is your white whale?
It was the rest of the volumes of Black Jack, but I finally got those for a reasonable price. Probably Ultra Gash Inferno now.
>>77464497
>>77464510

how's trilogy
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Volume 2 of Justice League International in paperback.
bumping with instock buys.
>>77464914
>tfw you have another anon's white whale.
I wish I could share it with you, /co/mrade.
>>77464914
I'll never find it ;_;
I did find the hardcover the other day at Half Price Books for like five bucks so that's gonna have to do for now.
>>77464969
>Goon
Just ordered that myself, the price is outrageously low.
>>77464914
I feel you anon, I just went out and found all the single issues in the dollar bin. Maybe I should look into custom binding
>>77464969
> Two Brothers
Why do there have to be so many good comics that I have to skip some? I'm trying not to pick up anything else this year except Suicide Squad vol 2, Copra round 3, and Church and State Remastered
>>77467114
When is Church & State supposed to come out? December?
>>77464905
It was pretty good. Gorgeous art. It's a collection of short stories, so some were better than others.
>>77467322
Sim's website says " early November"
>>77464969
>>77466320
my LCS had a couple copies on wednesday, i haven't yet got into the series but the vol 1 library is big, and heavy, and looks really well made, seems like a steal for the price really.
My white whale was the Euro Humanoids remaster of Incal. The thing was so massive that no bookshelf could hold it.
I ended up selling it for $500 since I figured there would be a reprint down the line and I was leaving the country anyways.
Other than that? Mostly signatures making things valuable; Millar signed Martha Washington hc, Gaiman signed Sandman, custom bound Shade omnibus, etc. A few OOP omniboo: complete Bendis/Bru DD, all three Tomb of Dracula, etc. I think my Usagi Yojimbo omnibus was rare but they reprinted it a year or two ago? Not sure whether it's the same version. I picked up a Simonson Thor omnibus in Hokkaido for $30 which was a nice profit.
My floppy collection is a little more insane, this was a few months before I moved to Japan so I think there were 2-3 more longboxes I picked up before then.
>>77467799
> they reprinted it a year or two ago
If you mean the original Fanta stuff that came out last month
>>77467861
Damn, that sucks (for me, great for everyone else since it's an amazing series). Wish I had flipped it before then.
>>77467902
You might still be able too, the reprint is two paperback volumes in a slipcase. I'm sure someone online will pay way more for the hardcover collection
I'm interested to see what happens to prices when Fanta reprints Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
>>77468002
Probably. I remember being a bit disappointed when my Strangers in Paradise omnibus was just two tpbs in a slipcase. I was always terrified of the binding.
I haven't checked to see how Marvelman's floppy prices have changed since the reprints started coming out. I have a complete mint run that was my holy grail for the longest time, then Marvel acquired the rights less than a year later. Can't stand the recoloring though, so eh.
I've been collecting Akira #38's in Japan for $1, I can't wait to get home and slowly flood the market. Figure at least that will never get a reprint.
>>77468282
Yeah I can't image a Western publisher will ever print Manga in standard floppies like the 80's and early 90's. Kind of a shame because it's a great way to see some fantastic art at a size larger than those digests
I have all 6 issues of Dominon by Masamune Shirow, I need to track down Appelseed
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Eternals omnibus.
Dammit Marvel, people drooled over the Celestial in GotG! REPRINT THAT SHIT! I'll fucking by 5 if you do and give out 4 of them!
Maybe.
At least 2.
I FINALLY cleared a space for my comics. No more sitting in cardboard boxes/stacks on my desk!
I will replace the manga as I buy future comics.
Rate my stuff. I've also got Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud which isn't pictured at the moment
About to place my order on the hardback archie vs predator
>>77464157
>Hardback of girls
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill and Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter. I really hope they reprint them together in a BRB Complete Collection type dealie
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Jack Kirby's DC works. I have Fourth World Volume 1, I am not going to stop until I've found the rest of the volumes, and Kamandi, and The Demon
>>77476796
it's a shame they don't reprint those
>>77476823
If they do eventually, I'll be the first to buy them. But until then, I'll just have to hunt them
got this last week and sandman overture deluxe edition
also bought a sprinfield armory 1911, mil spec, stainless steel. get hype.
>>77477602
>sprinfield armory 1911
for what purpose?
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
I've been collecting all of GL + GL Corps from the Johns era. The only thing I'm missing until the final omni comes out is GL Corps: The Dark Side of Green. It's not really that rare for a white whale, but the price is still higher than I really care to pay since it doesn't collect great stories. But the hole in my collection is glaring.
With Christmas around the corner I'm trying to decide what I should ask for. It's hard to decide if I should ask for things I'd probably buy for myself anyway or use the opportunity to ask for things I want but am less inclined to spend my own money on. I guess that's why the pirate before buying model exists.
>>77477602
The other mask looks better
>>77477645
heres your reply
>>77477715
they are shockingly similar looking though
>>77477602
>DOCTOR DOOOM CLAIMS THE CONTENT OF THIS TOILET!
I finished the Multiversity HC. That was an great read.
I'm reading Southern Bastards Vol 2 next then Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol 1
Not technically a book purchase, but I got an amazing commission at local comic con today and wanted to share
>>77478427
kek
I wanna read more Morrison shit. I need recs in preferably hardcovers
I bought Klaus last week I can't wait for that to be collected
>>77479385
>Multiversity

>>77479385
>Animal Man is in Omni

Dlx and TPB's starting next year?
>Invisibles is in Omni and Dlx HC's.
I have the Dlx and they're not bad.
>The Filth is available in Dlx HC
>Seven Soldiers is in normal HC
I really wish there was a nice Omni or Dlx of this.
>Happy! is in Dlx HC
Haven't read this one.
>Multiversity is in Dlx HC
>Nameless Dlx HC in Q1 2016
>>77479555

>Kid Eternity Dlx HC in December
>Kill Your Boyfriend/Vinamarama Dlx HC in March/April 2016
>>77479555
>Seven Soldiers is in normal HC
Link? I've not seen it.
>>77464497
The Invisibles Omnibus. Just got it recently. I really want some of those Jojo volumes. I usually never buy manga since I find most translations poor and it's all so easy to get for free
>>77479633
Google it. I got mine on IST. They're just hardbound versions of the Book 1 & 2 TPB's. Also they're on my bottom shelf.
I've got a bunch of other random vol 1's that aren't on the shelves. Mostly image/vertigo. Also random other TPB's are out with friends. My shelves never stay in just one configuration for too long.
My whale is either the punisher OHCs or Daredevil by Bendis/Brubaker. Haven't read any of it because I want to own it before I read it'.
>>77478738
very nice! price?
This was my first real commission at a local con some months back
Hoping to score some more sketches and commissions next year

>>77479509
I own All Star Superman and Multiversity but thanks anon
>>77479555
I'll look into those thanks bro
>>77481650
>tfw when I just bought the tpb earlier this year
Fuck my life
>>77481716
>$20 shipping
No.
>>77481716
don't, I live in a remote area and even I wouldn't pay that much for shipping
>>77480978
$100
Asked for a bust, but Meghan got a bit carried away with it when she couldn't sleep and was working on it. So this is what I ended up with.
That Ryan Kelly piece is lovely! Definitely a tinge of jealousy.
I also picked up this Mark Buckingham sketch and an Ian Churchill Supergirl.
>>77481716
Buy it on Amazon after the conversion rate and shipping it will be more expensive if you use IST
>>77482142
to add to this apparently Amazon.ca are doing 10% off on books that are above $30
>>77462357
>What is your white whale?
Gunsmith Cats vol 4
Lupin III manga volumes
But thank heavens for all the older comic reprints lately, feels good man.
>my white whale
All volumes of Will Eisner's The Spirit. I swear to God, I can die happy knowing I've got them
>>77464510
>>77464530
Nice shelves
>>77476823
The 4th World stuff was reprinted as softcovers and they reprint Kamandi 2 as HC (but not the first one, for some reason).
>>77481716
>moebius' incal on IST
Isn't this a censored version?
>>77485352
No. It's not.
>>77486229
Holy shit buying it now.
>>77479385
i read the first issue of klaus, seemed kinda neat. i was really expecting santa to beat some ass though, felt slightly let down by that
but i think we all know santa is about to go back there and fuck shit up
also you should get the morrison animal man omni if you don't have it. aside from the cringey last issue or two it's fucking gold
>>77480999
are you inferring i work at jay and bobs secret stash or am i missing something here
>>77486880
>aside from the cringey last issue or two it's fucking gold
You a pleb, nigga. The last two issues were great, but the first four issues, however, were nothing special, it's when it gets to The Coyote Gospel when shit gets great
>>77486981
The ending is a worse version of The Coyote Gospel
Most of my trades on the shelf are all fucked up and curved after being on there a while.What did I do wrong?
>>77486981
>>77487023
>>77486880
Love me some Coyote Gospel.
Guys at the con be all bringing X-Men and Batman and shit, they don't know what's up.
>>77487037
>What did I do wrong?
Living in Florida.
>>77486981
the whole "ooo that writer is in the world of his comic, he created himself :^)" shit was dragged on forever and was interesting for all of two seconds
>>77487101
>dragged on forever
Maybe read faster then
>>77487101
Worth it.
>>77487088
I don't, but I'm guessing you mean the humidity? That's probably it.
>>77487206
All my books get like that in the two weeks in August we have humidity here.
>>77487206
>>77487230
get a cheap metal bookend and make sure all your softcovers are straight up and down and squished together so nothing is leaning
>>77487347
I was given to understand that this fucks spines and binding.
>>77487367
Especially in those books where the spine is wider than the body.
>i'm looking at you, real stuff by dennis eichhorn
>>77487230
Well that's good to hear. Hopefully they'll go back to normal soon now that it's almost winter. Thanks anon
>>77487402
I think it's all the ink.
>>77487367
how exactly would making sure a book is standing straight up and down mess up its binding? are librarys around the world fucking up their own books without even realising it?
top kek
>>77487500
I mean squishing them together, not the standing straight.
>>77486880
Animal Man has been on my to buy list for a while. I'm just waiting for our book discounts to get better here before I get the pricier books
>>77488428
nice... also it seems like most people here quit reading after that run, but the next 50 issues are great as well
im pretty biased tho family, i love animal man
>>77488485
>Vertigo Animal Man
I love the covers and production aesthetic from that era of Vertigo.
>>77489025
yeah... late 80s and 90s vertigo was so awesome
>>77489241
Vertigo was founded in 93.
>>77489540
yeah but i mean all of that style that was under DC from titles like hellblazer/sandman/animal man went over to vertigo when it was established
>>77487621
well obviously not squishing them that much i just meant so there wasnt gaps between books
Did anyone else get the Jeff lemire sketch card with their Essex county hardcover?
>>77492541
Was that an extra cost? As much as I like Essex County didn't see the need to upgrading to the hardcover, no matter how nice it is.
>>77492888
I saw a really worn copy of Essex at a used book store a couple weeks ago, it doesnt wear well in the paperback form, its too damn thick.
I've read the first story and really liked it and feel almost dedicated as a Canadian to get it, but I'm on the lookout for a deal on the hardcover version
>tfw you keep buying books but never bother to read them
Why...
>>77494434
>tfw when you have an entire shelf filled with comics still in thier shrink wrap unread
>>77462357
>what is your white whale
Probably the first collected volumes of Nemesis the Warlock
bumping the shelf thread another week without buying comics. I'll be getting the first sexy Hellboy volume as well as Strontium Dog and JoJo BT next week though. damn car acting up again, sucking up my comic money...
I'll show off my shelf then
>mfw idiot janitor deletes my tsundoku monster post because he actually thought it was a real request for books to be sent to a fictional address in Smileyberg, Kansas
nigga does it for free.
>>77495598
Wait, does this mean Christmas threads will no longer be a thing?
>>77495598
kek
>>77496585
good question
irony is is about appearance, not intent.
I wish they'd release a love and rockets slipcase or something because I've been looking all over for some trades that are OOP
>>77497855
so deep :^)
what is everyone reading this week? i think i'm going to re-read the stand (book) not comic
>>77462357
not in home to post shelf
but I want to finish my preacher and fables collection
and buy jeph loeb halloween batman (not the long halloween), catwoman (loeb too), big damn sin city, and some of the the league of extraordinary gentlemen that I missed
seriously thinking of buying powers but it's 200 bucks here

These arrived this week -
>The Amazing Screw-On Head
Hardcover - amazing book, but the cover itself has a dint in the top right corner, and seems to be a little scuffed and I bought new, so I'm not best pleased with Book Depository.
>Chrononauts
Received as part of the time-travelers Z-box (along with some Tardis socks and a Marty McFly Funko). Sort of a lightweight TPB cover, but it was a fun little read about two guys thoroughly dicking with history.
>Through The Woods
Hardback, and bought used - the only available option for a HB in the UK - although it's pristine as far as I can tell. Brilliant cover - the dust jacket has the tree branches embossed into the paper, and it looks great. Inside gets better - some genuinely creepy tales, perfect for reading in a cabin alone in the woods.
I do love me some Mignola, but Through the Woods is definitely my pick of my recent buys. Thoroughly recommended.
>>77506757
cool chrononauts cover
>>77506730
whoops had my trip off
anyone know anything about this?

Anyone else looking forward to next month's Christmas threads? Hoping to squirrel enough money away to get a few people some books and shit.
>>77510254
I sure am this place does have good qualities despite what people may say.
>>77510254
>>77510318
I wish i had extra money so i could give then get ;_;
the woes of the poorfag.
>>77514235
> Alex Ross cover
Not a deal breaker, but disappointing
>>77514953
The cover is decent
>>77515796
I'd prefer actual Ditko art
>>77515811
They're probably be a Ditko variant cover.
>>77515883
Ross should be the variant.
>>77514235
When you look at whats actually in that omni I'm kinda on the fence... I probably won't be able to get it when it comes out anyways but for some reason i was expecting something else.
>>77516612
where do they have the contents? All I can find are announcements
>>77516647
It doesnt have any recent Strange like Hickmans stuff, its all just old goofy shit, not worth it imo
>>77517816
I bet you thought that was subtle.
>>77514235
bought Dr Strange vol1 masterworks not long ago, this makes me sad
even though cover should be classic Ditko
>>77514235
inb4 it's recolored out of the ass
>>77519677
That's why its good to wait with the movie characters with deep catalogues, an omnibus or two might come out of nowhere
A guy offered to sell me the 6 Preacher Hardcovers for $120.
Worth it? $20/book sounds alright but I don't know much about the series. I hear it is polarizing.

Just got pic related. Haven't read it yet but I am curious how AT translates to comic form.
To those with the JSA omnibi, what are the dimensions of all three of them side-by-side like in >>77465039? Like, from the back cover of Vol. 1 to the front of vol. 3
Also, what're the dimensions on the Doom Patrol omni?
>>77530763
Hello cartoonfag how new to comics are you?
>>77522011
those hardcovers suck don't do it. there's no reason to spend that when you could get TPB's that are the exact same size and material for 50-70 total. Those Precher HCs are crappy.
>>77530763
never seen that show
however the rick and morty comic was cool because everything read in their voices
i still can't figure out if the writing is good or in their voices, but everything seems to flow like it is...
>>77533949
Couldn't tell you for Doom Patrol, though the Amazon page might list them. But the JSAs side by side are a couple hairs over eight and a half inches, or 22 cm exactly.
Most recent two buys. The Goon Library Edition sold out FAAASSST on IST. I'm not sure If I'm sad I didn't grab it.
>>77523639
Literally includes the entirety of the other Squadron Supreme omni.
>>77536258
Holy shit, it was there earlier today.
I feel like it'll come back though. Dark Horse isn't bad at keeping their stuff in print.
>>77536531
When that omni is one of Marvel's 10 shortest, that's pretty easy.
>>77523639
Welp, I was thinking of just getting the original series omni, but this sounds like something I want to read.
>>77523620

yeah theyve been doing that alot lately, instead of just releasing a oversized hardcover volume 2 for Fraction Hawkeye they made an omni thats only 600 pages and 120 bucks , then are releasing a regular sized vol 2 hardcover so anyone who doesnt buy the omni has a mismatching set.
bunch of moneygrubbing kike bastards.

There's also a whole bunch of Omnis with more pages that only cost $75, but yeah, Marvel's just overcharging for the casuals that don't know any better.
>>77538384
go on amazon or whatever site... and compare the book dimensions between Vol1 and Vol2.
you can come back and be mad after.
>>77538418
Oh yeah, it's really bad. 272 pages for $35? Pass.
