Christmdas edition
New shit coming out this week: http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/newreleases/this-week
Wondering where to buy stuff? try http://www.instocktrades.com/ (us) or Amazon
Thread question: What book are you most looking forward to?
>>77826292
>What book are you most looking forward to?
The wife's getting me The Multiversity and Black Hole for Christmas. What about you, mate?
Any good deals on omnibuses for cyber monday?
>>77826292
Would it be possible to get more pictures of the Goon Library edition? Like, does it have a dust jacket, or is it just a hardcover like Fear Agent or Hellboy?
Today I bought
>Batman Earth One Vol 1
>X-O Manowar Vol 1
>Wytches Vol 1
>>77826701
Prolly the private Eye hc or eteranaut
>>77826948
Yeah give me a few minutes
>>77826292
>What book are you most looking forward to?
Private Eye HC and Black Panther by Christopher Priest Vol 2
>>77826948
Ok goon dump rolling out now.
It's the same size as the fear agent one I believe. The dust jacket comes with UV printing on the goon. Mine came wrinkled for some reason.
Read up on the inside of the dust jacket.
Without the jacket
Binding is great, as expected.
>>77826292
>What book are you most looking forward to?
The Eternaut
>>77828008
you think it's worth it to replace my fury tpbs for that hardcover?
anything new or considerably better in comparison?
>>77828008
>corto
Nice, always love seeing those in these threads
>>77828559
No problem, always happy to post shitty pictures of books
>>77828557
Honestly, I don't think so. All it adds are a few cover sketches and some of Parlov's page inks for issue 13. The hardcover looks pretty nice under the dust jacket though, so there's that.
Can we talk about how Image's HC's are so overpriced compared to any other publisher
>>77828608
I haven't had time to read much but I'm really enjoying it.
C'mon /co/mrades this is the third in as many days! Having said that I'm getting the new Marc Bell book, for sure.
>>77829050
It's real good I think beyond the windy isles is the stronger of the 2 they've released so far.
so I just recently finished cosmic marvel from Annihilators to Thanos Imperative.
Looking to pickup GotG specifically (and Thanos Imperative).
Should I get the Part 1/2 Collections in paperbacks or hold off until the Omnibus comes out.
I'm just concerned that Omnibus size and hardcover makes it too troublesome to read.
what are some good omnibuses to get?
my budget is $50
some that have caught my eye is
Neal Adam's Batman
Walt Simonson's Orion
Warren Ellis' Planetary
Grant Morrison's Animal Man
but I'm also open to any suggestions
>>77831236
Oh those I would say Orion and Batman are your best bets
>>77831236
Animal man
X-statix
Stray bullets
Sleeper
>>77831236
Its not out yet but Superior Foes of Spider-Man
>>77831236
Johns' JSA
X-Statix
Doom Patrol
Black Friday purchases.
What's the difference between the old Frank Miller Daredevil omnibus and the upcoming new version?
>>77833241
Nothing, its a reprint.
I've never read Sandman (I know, fuck me, right?) and I've been meaning to pick it up, but I don't know what format to go with. How are the omnibi? Is there any gutter loss?
>>77834414
Just go with the absolute edition they are way better and more easy to read and around the same price for all of them as the omnibus here's is a pic of mines
Here's mines there's a couple of books missing because I just move but a good amount are in one of my book shelves
>>77833236
You should also pick up the DJango/Zorro comic.
>>77833522
Yay
>>77834892
I might if this is a good read. I really got it because it was $5 and I loved the movie.
>>77827673
Fuck that looks good grrrr I already spend so much this month I can't get this
Bought these today. Complete Case Files 01 is in the mail.
>>77835402
...and my shelves.
what book am i most looking forward to
preacher absolute vol 1 without a doubt
>>77831236
morrisons animal man or fear agent
>>77834414
really strarting to get triggered with this. i love that people want to collect it and i'm not attacking you personally but the OMNIBUSES ARE A WASTE OF MONEY. Save up and get the absolutes or you'll regret it.
We have had about 5 people buy sandman in the past 2 months. 2 went with the 10 book trade, 2 went with omnibus and 1 went with the absolute
1 person was happy and it's because he's a commuter reader so he needed the flexibility a tpb provides...
>>77834803
>>77834849
>>77834881
>>77834902
not sure i've seen your stuff posted in these threads before... nice shelves... consider getting the hellboy library editions before they are gone forever.

My IST order should be here tomorrow.. did they get everyone else's stuff out who ordered from them during black friday sale? I'm shocked stuff isn't delayed getting out. Picked and shipped in 1 day, that's gotta be a record for me..
Heres my contribution for the thread.

Holy shit where did you pick those up? Ive been looking everywhere
>>77838950
Nice floppies. I particularly like that one with the white cardboard. Where did you find it?!
hey guys...?
http://www.amazon.com/Unearthing-Oversized-Hardcover-Alan-Moore/dp/1603091505/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1448951315&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=unearthling
look at this... look at list price, isbn does not match the following but...
i think ist has this 70% off right now? IST doesn't say it's the OVERsized limited edition, but i don't think there is a limited edition that ISN'T oversized
this may be a good find...
http://www.instocktrades.com/TP/Top-Shelf/UNEARTHING-LTD-ED-HC-(MR)/OCT121208
>>77838913
Yea I fuck up and didn't get the last one had to get it from twf for cover price I order it on the 22 and it's still not here grrrr
>>77833236
>Neca NES Godzilla
Nice
>>77838984
from wikipedia "r Top Shelf Productions in 2012, in a softcover edition as well as a deluxe, oversized, limited edition hardcover.[5]"
Confirmed for awesome deal I guess... I'm gonna grab one and hopefully the quality is nice.. I'm assuming it's nice because a 164 page oversized hardcover is a really high MSRP.
If anyone has experience with this book let me know! Thanks
>>77838967
From instocktrades and Amazon really cheaply for 25 each pretty much
recently bought moebius's incal. cant wait to read it when i have the time. any moebius fans? any other recs? also bought arzach recently
>>77839050
>bought arzach recently
That's one of the more sought after ones, unless you picked up a modern Spanish/French edition.
The Long Tomorrow and Airtight Garage are both really great scifi stories he did, also Blueberry was his long running Western series he did under his real name Jean Giraud
>Flash by Geoff Johns at IST $12.49
>Shipping $29.12
Local comic shop has it for $44.
I gotta start hunting kangaroos or something. collecting down under is suffering
>>77839088
>That's one of the more sought after ones, unless you picked up a modern Spanish/French edition.
LCS had it for 40$ CAD tax free
it was there for a few weeks to be honest i feel silly not having bought it sooner
>>77839108
>>That's one of the more sought after ones, unless you picked up a modern Spanish/French edition.
oh sorry forgot to mention
it's in english, very good condition but you can tell it's decades old
>>77839108
Yeah you just got to be lucky where you find the 80's Marvel collections, I found Airtight Garage at a used book store for $3.
>>77838975
Thanks m8. Here are some of my favorites.
>>77838950
>doctor stranger
pleb detec- naw im just kiddin. good choice breh
>>77839137
dang son im jelly
>>77839137
man im bad at saying all i want to say in a post im exhausted. how many pages is it? i think arzach is around.. 40 pages? how does airtight garage compare? i'm reallly interested in purchasing the gardens of aedena next personally how about you anon
>>77838889
>Deadly Class
>Souther Bastards
I see you have a taste for the ultra violent, anon.
Good Taste.
>>77838790
I put in my order on Thursday and it's still being processed like they can't find any fucking copies of Nailbiter Vol 3. I just want my books damn it.
>>77839167
Airtight Garage is around 120. I'm down to purchase any thing I find from him that's cheap
>>77839280
120 where? where do you find these out of print comics
amazon said 220
Has IST ever done a 42 or more discount on IDW?
>>77826292
>What book are you most looking forward to?
Probably The Doom That Came to Gotham
>>77843020
and here's my Hellboy. All I need to be up to date is Abe 5 and 6, but that's probably going to have to wait.
>>77843034
That new spine design is shit, I hope someone gets fired
Ordered the Usagi Yojimbo softcover slipcase off Amazon last night with the 30% off code! And when IST updates I'm grabbing the fifth Chew Omnivore edition, among some other things.
>>77843065
fuck, I know right? DH had them beautiful for so long, and now this.
>>77843034
oh, and I guess here's the rest of my stuff. but I don't have a shelf right now. disregard the triscuit boxes full of nerf darts
>>77843182
>>77843186
>>77843190
>>77842212
They do 40% off the whole catalog sometimes (like once maybe twice a year). Higher % than that is only on select books.
>>77837975
shoutfactory.com better hurry they are apparently running out
>>77843706
>>77837975
how much is this normally discounted. i have 0 interest in powerangers but this is normally 650? and it's priced at like $200 right now? I'm wondering if I should buy to make $50 or $100 on ebay?
>>77839092
Use sites with free shipping like BookDepository or Wordery.
>>77835490
>there are a couple posters i'd like to get something for..
Am I one of them?

Okay, lads. Here's a question for you all, if your collection was going to be destroyed and you had the choice to keep 10 books, what would 10 books would you keep?
>>77833236
Oh, it's great to see that Enemy ace book we talked about. $10, you'd have been literally a lunatic not to pick it up. And although I wouldn't spend money on it myself, that Starlord statue is kind of cool.
>>77835402
Early Dredd, great purchase Anon.
>>77838950
Holy shit! Floppies! Ilike to get four or five out and lay 'em on the top when photographing (even tho' they're alphabetized with little creator tags--pretentious hipster here, don't collect by character, 99% of my collection are all created by one person), give a little flavor, some particular nice covers or just hella rare shit you're proud of.
>>77839088
Could never get into Blueberry. Still, any Giraud/Moebius is worth just looking at, right?
>>77845080
great question lad. It would have to be
Silver Surfer Requiem
Saga of the Swamp Thing #1-6
Judge Dredd Case Files 05
Strontium Dog Search/Destroy 01
Hitman: Local Heroes
Can the anon with the Empowered Deluxe Editions post some close up pictures? I want to see more before my copy of deluxe edition volume 1 arrives.

Anyone know? Sorry to spam, just anxious and excited that maybe I found a super good deal. I have never seen this book on anyones shelf though so it doesn't surprise me no answer yet (Even though it's pretty early for a reply)
>>77844955
you could make like 300 or 400 reselling it
>>77848338
>Private Eye Deluxe HC
Is this any good?
These fucking threads have made me buy so many damn books in the past few months. It also make me sad there are so many of my favorites not collected though.
Buying from IST is worth it just to see the immaculate packing job they do. My valiant omnibuses (thanks again anon for the heads up) are looking great.
Ostrander's SS is getting reprinted, Vol. 2 is out in a couple months.
Is Private Eye any good? I've never heard of it. I've liked Vaughn's Ex Machina but Y and Saga have left me a bit cold.
>>77849677
after looking at some ebay auctions i think i can make about 200ish reselling. maybe 150 with shipping/ebay fees.
anyways i ended up buying one to resell. love free money
>>77835490
Here is >>77848883 wishlist - might as well give it a stab in the dark....
YLO7PRZQ8TYU (.co.uk)
>>77849932
i saw one outright bought for 500+ the other day i know because i was watching it and the auction ended because it was bought
>>77850299
nice. i see a guy has sold 7 for undisclosed amount. he has acutions at 525
i dropped him a line, linked him to the deal and said "hey man since im hooking you up with an opportunity to make more money, tell me what you've sold yours for so i have an idea of how much i can sell the single one i purchased for"
hopefully that good will goes a long way and he doesn't just ignore me heh
either way i think ill make some bank off it.. i think they normally sell for $320 on that shout site though? i think they dropped the price a little back
the move may be to wait until they are sold out and sell again next year around christmas.. we'll see...
Nothing new yet. I'm waiting on my copy of Empowered Deluxe 1 to come in the mail tomorrow. I also need to pick up my copies of Chew Smorgasbord Edition volume 2 and Rat Queens Deluxe volume 1 pretty soon. I'm trying to replace my Omnivore editions with the bigger and nicer Smorgasbord edition and all of my Empowered with the deluxe editions. And why not throw in the Amazon wishlist thing. I don't expect anything but it never hurts to try.
2M4RFK80PRDLV at simple dot com
Shelf 1 of 2
>>77850498
And here is my second shelf. When I get the deluxe editions of Chew and Empowered I am going to sell my regular versions.
>>77850498
>Actually owning Girls
I like a storytime of pain as much as anyone else, but why go out of your way to actually buy it?
>>77851205
I'm a huge fan of the Luna brothers. I own Girls, The Sword, and Ultra in their deluxe editions. And if they release Alex + Ada, I will own that one to.
Got my Marvel Artist Select Series oversized limited edition signed hardcover today. Sal Buscema's Hulk and holy fuck is it nice. It has an awesome rough clothed slipcase. The paper quality is interesting and I'm not sure if I have a book with paper like this in my collection? not sure how to describe it..
In the back there were 4 clear inserts with light sketching, color palletes and inks, 4 of them and if you layer them on top it makes the whole image. If anyone know what these are called, these sheets, please let me know. I know one is inks for sure. the other colored pages... not sure what those are technically called. I got book 888 signed out of 999, so that's kinda shitty but check dem trips smhfam
>>77827673
Will these become unaffordable like the Hellboy or Sandman libraries or will the price be stable for a while?
I don't have a lot of experience with omnibuses and currently a little short on money due to christmas coming up...
>>77836781
Do you live in a psychiatric ward?
I recognize that spinach-barf paint...
>>77850498
>new 52 harley
for what reason
>>77839088
I tried to get into Blueberry based on that page (I was aware of it before since I'm a huge Moebius fan - who isn't reall?) but I was really disappointed after reading the first few chapters, it doesn't look like Moebiu art at all, and not like that spread either. It just seems so incredibly boring and blad compared to his other works...
Does it get better?
pic related, my copy of airtight garage...
>>77848844
How is the JSA Omnibus? I'm working through JSA: Classified right now and am really enjoying it.
>>77852426
I'd imagine pretty stable for a while, first one came out just last month after all. Plus DH is really good at keeping their books in print. Also the hellboy LE are still affordable
>>77848883
>backs of the comics perfectly allign over the entire shelf
This pleases my autism. Somehow everything I buy is always off by just a few centimeters and the ones that do match up never fill a shelf. I guess this might be a yuropoor problem...
>>77850358
I've been doing this for a while now with used collections off ebay kleinanzeigen (essentially german craigslist) - I keep what I want and try to resell the rest for the original price or just a little less.
I managed to flip a few collections but I recently got stuck with a 400$ investment of more indie stuff that I personally loved but nobody seems to want to buy.
It's a pretty autistic way of making money, it kinda does work but it's not really worth all the time invested, you'd earn more by just taking a shitty part time job for the hours you spent. It's more fun though...
>>77853024
>Also the hellboy LE are still affordable
really? got a link for that? All versions I can find are just short of 200$ and the original price must have been 50$ or something?

>>77853836
Too much cape for my taste but some good choises I guess.
How's the Dragonball full color? Usually re-coloring for manga is absolute shit but DB came out when WSJ still did full color chapters, not one page every two months so I assume it also has originally colored chapters? Plus I'd love to have DB bigger than tankobon size.
I feel like doing 1:1 prints of the artist's pages for popular works would be something incredibly obvious but even in Japan I don't think there exists anything aside from slightly oversized tankobons...
>>77853551
wait you guys don't have a job, do this resale thing and other things to make a constant stream of cash?
>>77854317
I like Saga a lot even though it has some cringy moments. I feel like there are more and more comments saying it's SJW crap and while it certainly has a heavy female perspective which is unusual for mainstream comics I think people are overreacting and mixing up character thoughts with those of the author which is always a terrible idea...
>>77854939
Full Color Dragon Ball is rad as fuck. I love the size of the book. It's a really good color job. Viz is just retarded as fuck and the Freeza arc for the full color doesn't come out until May 2016.
>>77855044
No that's impossible if you don't live in a literal basement or in some shithole country with no living costs.
It's just a way of making a bit of money on the side or financing your comic purchases (at least for me) but as I explained it would be smarter to just get a regular part time job.
Remeber when Homer bought tons of bacon just to sell the lard for a few cents? Yeah.
I assume there are a few people here who could go professional with an online shop or something but in my experience, once you get into taxes you're fucked.
What's some good non cape stuff to read? I've been checking out saga , sex criminals, and chew but I know there's a lot more.
>>77855387
dude after costs i can some times make up to 600 bucks a month doing side shit.

Why would you consider any of those cape?
Also cape is really disappointing if you come from non-cape and indie comics, even the works that are considered the greatest capestuff of all time are just plain average in comparison.
Still, I really enjoyed Allstar Superman and most of the Moore and Miller stuff so that might be the place to start.
Also there's Hellboy of course which I kinda consider to be an exception from cape for it's unique artstyle, paneling and exceptional coloring.

Eddie campbell stuff

>>77856230
some crappy rob liefeld comic that gets ironically recommended to peeps
>>77856204
I think you're confused dude I have been reading capes but I want to branch out to indie and started with the series I mentioned.
>>77855892
>side shit
Tell me of your sneaky ways. 600 bucks is about 130% of minimal wage where I live. People work their asses off to have that kind of money at the end of the month, I can't really imagine you making that money easily without heavily evading taxes or doing plain illegal shit...
>>77856230
It's an amazing relaunch of rob liefield's shitty 90's comic
>>77856280
Nice bait

Trying to pass off somebody else's shelf as yours is kinda shitty bro.
>>77853980
Look man, that is actually my shelf. I like your stuff. I'm a big fan of invincible and spider-man but attacking other people's taste is pretty shitty of you.
>>77856524
>>77856604
Wait shit when are they gonna do deluxe editions of this? I've kinda been on a kick recently.
>>77856293
Ah, missed the "non" in your post.
Well as with any genre it's never wrong to just start with some classics and see where that takes you - I think Moebius and Jodorowsky have allready been mentioned ITT, then there's the classic franco-belgian stuff like Herge and US disney stuff (which I personally hate, especially duck comics).
There are a few excellent German artists (it's a small scene but you can find a lot of unique stuff), from the top of my head jens harder is just amazing, pic related.
Then of course there's manga which is a whole different thing all together, if you wanna try I'd recommend something with a stron western style like Solanin.
Also there's a surprising amount of interesting chinese comics (mostly less plot-oriented and experimental art styles), try remember by benjamin.
If you want to stick with US releases just look through some of the shelves ITT.

>>77856799
When all the trades are out says Brandon Graham. Which is probably him being an asshole because you have to wait for all the trades then wait for each hardcore volume to come out.

Hellboy

It's not like he has control, it's up to Liefeld since he controls Prophet.
>>77856769
That's what I'm waiting for. Prophet hardcovers or an omnibus. If anything needs large ass pages for the art, Prophet does.

How is The Mighty Thor, I've been looking to read more Marvel.
>>77848863
Speaking of, I have the feeling getting into Ultimate X-men will be easier than classic, so how are the Ultimate Collections?
>>77859127
You don't want to read Ultimate X-Men
>>77859127
The Thor on that guy's shelf is Simonson's run, the best guy to ever write/draw Thor. Nothing revolutionary or spectacular (I personally don't even consider it among his best work), but there's solid writing and excellent art as expected from Walt.
Though I wouldn't recommend those trades. They're all recolored, and all for the worse.
>>77851645
I dunno, the other sheets might be rubylith, a part of the pre-digital colouring process. It'd help if you could take a photo of each sheet...rubylith was used for colour seperations...great article about early comics colouring here (and funny!) Dave Sim interviewing Neal Adams....if you're interested, give it a read, man.

>>77859157
Why?
>>77859240
That's sort of a shame that all Thor ever amounts to is mediocraty.
>>77859353
>mediocraty
I...didn't say that. I personally prefer trippier/headier stuff than Thor's more typical superhero fare, but there's no denying it succeeds at what it does. And it's only not among Simonson's best because Simonson is a legend and most everything he does is great.
>>77852713
I got a copy of Taboo #3 (w/the Moebius Dogmen cover w/red background) which has the first English printing of Eye of the Cat in it, and a weird Spain comic synopsis of Jodorowsky's film El Topo?! Anyway I scored it cheaply as part of a job lot of alt stuff that NO=ONE else bid on, I was buzzing with that...
>>77859123
kek
im reading annihilator right now, really like the writing and story so far, seems pretty neat
i feel like it could be a good movie
>>77859453
Jodorowsky makes great surealist films. You should check out the holy mountain and the dance of reality. Some consider his stuff to be pretentious but I really like the visuals.
He tried to make a high budget movie adaptation of herbert's dune just before star wars came out but studio bosses fucked him over.
There's a documentary about it, called Jodorwosky's dune. It also touches on how idears and concepts salvaged from the failed project lead to the creation of both The Incal and the Metabarons, while some of the other artists involved became crucial to the making of Alien.
It's pretty incredible, really.

>>77859775
>failed project lead to the creation of both The Incal and the Metabarons,
Also The Long Tomorrow since Moebius and Dan O'Bannon met while working on Dune
>>77859775
How are Jodo's Westerns? I only know him for his science fiction.
>>77859577
Hmm, how's the art in it. And what would you rate it on the g morrison scale.?
>>77859127
>>77859240
I agree, it's solid but not mind-blowing. There's some really neat stuff though, like Malekith's debut (and great old-school character design), Beta Ray Bill, Frog Thor. I should reread it some time, haven't looked at it since the last volume came in.
>>77859350
it was impossible to photograph two of them. you can only see the transparent colors for two of them at specific angles
anyways, 2 of them are just a single color, one has a third color plus some lines, then the other page is inks. wish i could have shown you but i gave up after 15 minutes
also i made this little display until i get bored of it to celebrate my new purchase
>>77859889
ill let you know after i finish. the art is kinda interesting
the dialogue and art combined kind of make me feel like i did when i was watching that "scanner darkly" movie? if that makes sense...
>>77859901
Don't forget the Executioner at Gjallerbru
>>77859901
I actually thought his FF was better on the whole. More imaginative, flat out greater artistic skill, and he draws all but 6 issues (with Art Adams drawing another 3). There's a single Epic Collection with the whole thing; definitely worth checking out.
>>77853661
nigga try instock trade they have them for 25 each but i heard its fucking expensive if you are international shipping

Here is my collection from the past couple years of working at a comic shop.
1/12
2/12
Just finished reading Morrison's Animal Man the other day. It deserves all of the hype. I can understand why some people aren't the biggest fan of his work, but after I understood his writing style he is one of my favorites.
3/12
4/12
An anon from a shelf thread a couple months ago recommended that I read Wizzywig. I really enjoyed it. It was a great insight on the rise of hacking culture as well as an enjoyable story.
>>77860553
How's the Ultimate Spiderman Omni?
5/12
Here are my unread books. Part of the issue of working around comics all day is that you tend to blow a decent amount of money impulsively buying things you may never read. That being said, is there anything I should read super soon?
6/12
More unread books.
>>77860571
The book itself is made fairly well, the same quality of all of the Marvel Now omnis it seems. The story itself is amazing, I need to go back and re-read it and actually finish it but it is one of my favorite Spider-Man Stories.
7/12
A few more unread books.
8/12
9/12
I am a big Francavilla fan.
>>77860647
10/12
One more Francavilla print, plus a Django poster from my time working at a movie theater.
11/12
Not a big Doctor Who fan anymore, but don't have anything else to fill the space

>>77860634
What do you like about those #1s anon?
I feel like if I were going to hang up #1s I'd buy ones I really like that are still cheap and have 10/10 Covers like pic related. Even better get it blown up into a poster. I feel like modern would not sit right with me on the wall.
>>77860738
I honestly don't think of the value of them too much. I like the way they look in my room, and like all of the covers. I have about 12 short boxes full of single issues, with a handful of rare #1s but some of the covers are a bit too bland for me. I do agree that having modern comics hung up with golden age comics wouldn't look great.
Buying all the Zatanna merch in the world won't give her a solo run
http://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevil-previews/daredevil-touch-of-typhoid-tpb
Is this all that's going to be released of Nocenti's run? Should I even care about the other issues or are these issues all that's worth reading?
>>77860673
fookin' prons
>>77860838
That's most of it and the best stuff
>>77860838
they'll probably put out another volume with the rest of the run. The Epic collections have a weird release schedule
>>77852803
So so good, honestly. I bought it on kind of a whim last winter when I was having a phase of obsession with Stargirl, and I came away loving the entire JSA. It's a nice book too - easily the thickest I own. That said, it can sometimes be mildly cumbersome to read comfortably, but as long as you're prepared for that the content itself is fantastic.
>>77853312
The last 3 Batman & Robin volumes by Morrison are very slightly shorter in height than all my other books. It hurts me physically when I study them too long. And filling the shelf isn't an issue, I have a box of Marvel trades somewhere that I simply don't have anywhere to put them
>>77859127
I like the original Ultimate X-Men, and you're right; it is easier to get into. And, if you power through the dark days there is some stunning artwork through the years. That said, don't go into it expecting classic X-Men, go in expecting something new and you'll probably enjoy it more. In terms of the actual books, yeah the Ultimate Collections are nice. I'd probably prefer an Omnibus just for convenience, but these aren't bad editions at all.
>>77859240
oh hell naw, dont tell me thattt i just ordered the first two simonson thor tpbs like 2 days ago
I'm sure I'll still enjoy them anways but damn.
Alright shelfags, I got 100 buckaroos burning a hole in my ass. What should I buy? One big omnibus or a bunch of smaller books? Some books I'm looking at are the 52 Omnibus and those 3 trades collecting Brubaker's Daredevil. Any suggestions?
>>77859127
The first 12 issues of Jason Aarons The Mighty Thor are pretty awesome, you can probably find a copy of the oversized HC used now for cheap
>>77860602
You should totally read Trouble next, its a masterpiece....
>>77860578
>>77860602
superman red son was extremely entertaining. i'd read it over kick ass any day of the week
>>77861793
if you havent read 52 before its ...fucking awesome, but the omni is quite large, so it comes down to personal preference, DC is reprinting the trades though but it'll take a while
>>77861793
I'd get the trades. It'll leave you some cash to try out something new
>>77861877
This isn't my first rodeo. We got it on discount at work, and I like the team so I picked it up. People were so pissed when I posted a pic of my shelf in this thread. I've learned from my mistake.
>>77861895
I have been in the mood to read some Superman. I will try to get to it soon!
>>77861952
>DC is reprinting the trades though but it'll take a while
That is if DC even bothers finishing reprinting them...
Has anyone ever bought something off D+Q's site? I saw they had a cyber monday deal going on so I bought some Moomin books to give my girlfriend for Christmas. Though I'm kinda worried they might not be here on time now.
>>77862184
Can't say that I have, did they not give you an estimated time of delivery?
>>77862224
They did, but on Fantagraphics' site the estimated time was bullshit and I ended up waiting about three or four months for anything to arrive. D+Q was from the same kinda underground comics community Fantagraphics was and I'm worried they might be as unorganized as Fanta when it comes to shipping.
>>77856791
Sorry anon. I take back my insult because you're cool and respect my tastes.
I got the Walking Dead season 5 bluray statue set if that counts for anything. It's smaller than I expected. I can fit it in the previous sets' boxes. I think I should have waited before pre-ordering.
>>77862295
Glad I didn't order from Fanta on Cyber Monday then.
>>77862808
Yeah you might have been lucky and gotten it right if you'd ordered at midnight, but anytime I've bought something from one of their sales or pre-ordered something I'd get put on wait lists over and over again because they didn't have enough stock at their warehouse. The worst part is they don't even send an email telling you when your order actually ships out so you never know when they'll get it out.
Of course that was before they overhauled their website earlier this year. Who knows, maybe they have better practices in place now.
>>77862955
Yeah I used their site to send me email alters if certain comics go back in print, I don't expect them too, but if they do I need to jump on them this time around
>>77860816
I've not really taken an interest in any of these video game/miniature things before, but I love that Mega Man one. I also so a cool-looking Mewtwo at Wal-Mart last week.
>>77861687
You think that's bad, thank god you didn't buy the fourth volume of B&R which is even shorter. My shelf is in disarray but this still maddens me.
Remember to order Copra Round 3 NOW and the new trade of Ostrander's Suicide Squad coming out in 2 weeks.
>>77866928
thanks anon, I forgot
>>77866928
Is Copra available from Diamond yet, or do I have to order from Bergen Street?
>>77868314
only the trades. round 3 is diamond code nov151123
>>77859453
Sorry to sound like a cunt, thanks for sharing the information but I've been into Jodorowsky's films for years Anon. But yeah, the Dune documentary was great can you imagine of Jodo published a facsimile "Dune Bible"?! Shit would be amazing. Any Anon's remember when Chris Foss did a Dredd story? It might be in the later Case Files, I dunno, it was bloody terrible, visuals-wise, though. Like he'd been painting spaceships so long he'd forgotten how to draw human anatomy. Anyway, yeah, Holy Mountain is one of my favourite films (anyone with the imagination to tell the story of the Spanish massacre of the Incas(?) with LIZARDS, real, fucking lizards dressed up as Cortez, is okay in my fucking book!), I love the esoteric symbolism, everything...it was actually the defunct hip-hop band Company Flow who got me into his FILMS, they used a sample from Holy Mountain on their track "Help Wanted" which I always thought was just the intro to Population Control" ("we manufacture war toys....to condition children from birth") from their 1997 album "Funcrusher Plus (dunno if you're into rap) and in them pre-internet days it took me a few months to track it down but I got a dubbed VHS of it in the end. But yeah, Jodo rules. I think Ted McKeever got a lot from Fando Y Lis for his comic Industrial Gothic, if you've ever read that? How come no-one on /co/ talks about Ted McKeever?!
Dunno if you dig rap but there's no rapping on the track, just a fucked up drumbeat and unsettling sample over the speech:
https://youtu.be/DPX4c0XdImA
I always thought of this as the intro to the "Population Control" song since it fits so well....
Anyway cheers Anon, I might've had no idea about Jodo.......
>>77859904
Didja check out the article I linked you to?
Guess you could look up "rubylith colour process" or something like that.....thanks for the display.
>>77860498
Don't think I've EVER seen anyone with Ellen Forney's Marbles in a shelf thread! I mentioned Wizzywig ages ago....
>>77860692
FRANK SIDEBOTTOM! Or is that the film version mask? Yup, looks like it.....what an awesome film, Chris Spivey would be honoured.
Soz if I've double-posted.
>>77866928
New trade of Ostrander's Suicide Squad?! Shit, I'm THERE, thank God for these threads or I probably wouldn't have known that.
Sorry to TRIPLE post....
Just got back from the lcs
>>77860602
how's that Johns Flash volume?
>>77876779
Not that anon, but I'm loving it, well worth the money I paid for it.
>>77877196
cool. the tv show got me itching for some Flash comics and as a newcomer, this really seems like the only way to go atm.
>>77877289
I'll be honest, I'm the same, really loving the TV show and wanting to read more Flash. /co/ seems to be in favor of what Johns did with Flash, and so far I'm loving the comic, pic related is where I have read to. Keep in mind this Flash is Wally (Kid Flash) not Berry, but it doesn't matter it's fucking great man.
Ok for that one anon last thread asking about the metabarons pics it just came in, but my back camera literally just broke on my way home so I took pics on my front facing camera. I apologize in advance for the shit quality
The cover is several different materials with gloss on the front and matte on the back and spine
Sewn binding is a plus
It about the same height and width as the asterios polyp hc, so slightly bigger than an average hc trade
And a cool page I found no extras just the afterwards
