How's Atlantis Attacks?
>>77975271
I enjoyed it a lot. I got it for $30 so it was a pretty good deal. I wonder if it's OOP now. Here is what it includes..
Silver Surfer Annual #2, Iron Man Annual #10, Marvel Comics Presents #26, Uncanny X-Men Annual #13, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #23, Punisher Annual #2, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #9, Daredevil Annual #4, Avengers Annual #18, New Mutants #76, Annual #5, X-Factor Annual #4, Web of Spider-Man Annual #5, Avengers West Coast #56, Annual #4, Thor Annual #14, Fantastic Four Annual #22
/co/, I need your advice. What is the best place to buy trades/omnis/etc in the UK? Amazon? Would love to get into buying trades instead of floppies.
>>77975682
bookdepository has a nice deal every now and then
>>77974951
toss those essentials in the trash
>>77976140
those are tomb of dracula essentials
its the only way to collect that portion of the story outside of the omnibus. there are no trades for that string of issues anon
Haven't posted mine in a while due to school

3/2 Heres my trade shelf I was really into a lot of the N52
Not saying this guy's collection is better>>77976436, but seeing all those pre dc entertaintment spines got me wondering- It seems like everybody else in these threads started collecting after the new 52.
What website do all the comic fans that have older collections go to?
>>77976140
fuck you, the essentials were great
>>77976612
what's the story behind the Star Wars toy?
My omnibi 4/2
>>77976740
The story is Wedge is a boss and deserves a movie or comic adaptation
>>77976788
How's the Hawkman omnibus? There's only volume 1 but that's the complete thing, right? I was thinking of buying it.
5/2 Absolutes and some dark horse. Really hoping to get absolute transmet for Christmas
>>77976838
If you liked Hawkman from Johns JSA run then you'll like the omnibus. I personally enjoyed it.
>>77976806
muh nigga Wedge will never die
been meaning to get reading on those X-wing books even if Disney fucked over the EU

>>77976739
This was not meant to be an insulting question btw, I'm just curious.
>>77976739
i started buying, not reading, back in early 2012 i wana say. new 52 was in full swing.
no idea where the "older collections" are posted. google comic book forums collection maybe
>>77977202
Cool, yeah I was just curious if anybody anround here has collections made up of primarily DC bullet tpbs.
>>77977246
read anything good lately?
>>77977308
I just finished The Multiversity actually.
Captain Carrot is GOAT, especially as drawn by Rod Reis.

Hupp.
My purchases over the last month or so. I am really enjoying Largo Winch which is an impulse purchase that paid off, volume 3 is on the way.
>>77979599
Good picks especially Suicide Squad which I'm holding off for the eventual omnibus
Got a nice little Judge Dredd figure in a blindbox
So lads, what's the best purchase you've made this year? And what do you hope to get or give come Christmas? The girlfriend is getting me Black Hole, I'm getting my son a Beano annual and The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
>>77980467
Just bought Wonder Woman Omni and Multiversity HC. Both are pretty awesome.
>>77980467
Colossal Conan was the best purchase I got this year, a total steal. My white whale now is the Annihilation omni at something less than an arm and a leg.
>>77980819
whats "a steal" that book goes for 3-500
>>77980842
100 at a local shop that just happened to have it on the shelf gathering dust with a $100 sticker on it.
>>77980920
jesus... i never find good deals at any local comic shops... how don't these stores know books go out of print... always makes me feel less bad when i hear about LCS going out of business, most of the time they are ran by old men who dabble in coins or sports cards and just can't keep up with the changing world...
grats on your find
>>77979912
Bitch, buy those Suicide Squad trades NOW. There's never going to be a SS omnibus because DC couldn't care less about doing that for cult titles. In fact, I'll be amazed if DC even bothers finishing releasing the entire run in trades.
>>77976806
Here's hoping he plays a big part in the rogue one movie
>>77981247
Why is DC so shit at collecting trades?
Marvel has their shit coming out even before they full run is finished and I think their quality is slightly better
The I favor Omnibuses for Marvel better I don't how you all feel about that DC somehow always screws up with their shit look at the Orion collection
I love the Orion run but they ended up putting the back up features on the back of the book instead of putting it in chronologically

>Why is DC so shit at collecting trades?
They're not
>Marvel has their shit coming out even before they full run is finished
It's not good strategy to rush out trades, a lot of people don't buy isinble issue for minis because they can buy the whole mini in a trade as it is. Marvel also has retarded schedules liek with their Epi line where if you're interested in moon Knight for example you need to wait an entire year for a new trade.
> I think their quality is slightly better
Nah, they use shitty paper but the trades are a bit more expensive, despite most of the time having fewer pages.
>>77981748
I don't know but I'm still pissed DC hasn't collected Shade up until Season in Hell. I love that series and some of the stories in the second half like Off the Road USA, Passion Child, and Season in Hell are my favorites and will never be collected.

DC will flood the market with Suicide Squad trades and why wouldn't they do an omnibus for its most acclaimed run?
>>77982171
That is exactly what it is. Really disappointing edition honestly - a family member got it me for Xmas last year, which was cool of them to think of, but it kinda spoils the tone a little making it purely B&W. Even a splash of red would have helped occasionally.
>>77982334
ah i see.. yeah i'd never like that. i love the washed/faded coloring in the long halloween
>>77977957
shit did not even notice that at first. must be a sign to buy something
>>77982321
Suicide Squad's never been a huge seller.
>>77981832
>>77981952
How are those DC's Eaglemoss releases? Been thinking into subscribing to those.
>>77982874
Honestly I am really enjoying them. Wouldn't recommend them if you already own the majority of the stories being reprinted, but it's boosting my DC collection in a nice way, and they're good quality.
>>77982321
Son, do you not know how DC operates? A couple of years ago they put a first trade out for Suicide Squad then decided to not put out anymore because they didn't like the low number of pre-orders for it. They've done this for a number of titles now. We will be EXTREMELY lucky if DC actually decides to put out the entire Suicide Squad run in trades, let alone an actual fucking omnibus.
>>77982321
if the trades sell well they might do a omnibus when they go OOP
probably won't

How do you all organise your comics on your shelf?
I used to do Publisher -> Series Name Alphabetical -> Book Name or Chronological
but since I plan on buying some omnibus' in the future, I think it would look weird to have them littered throughout the shelf
>>77985641
I organize my shelf by,
>Publisher
>Character
>Series
I've had to take some libereties eith this because I've yet to invest in a really good shelf yet.
>>77985641
I have to keep my trades, HCs and Deluxe/Omnis split up. So I split them like that, then by Publisher, then rough chronology, with alt universe stuff separate
>>77985641
Size then Title. I split eastern and western comics, but I've been debating just combining them.

Gotta hand it to you man, that is a flawless collection, not a single bad book.
When I look at this I get the feeling I have way too many guilty pleasures in my shelves.
>>77981775
Yo, f a m. What up
>>77990892
What did you think of all you need is kill?
Did you also see the movie? I was kinda disappointed that they went with generic tentacle designs for the mimics rather than building on the more unique designs of the manga. But I guess that was asking too much, it was still pretty great.
I just ordered Sandman absolut volume 2 for 65$, was that a good deal?
I don't have a lot of experience with omnibuses since I don't read a lot of cape and these Sandman ones seem especially overpriced but I went for it after being pleasantly surprised by The Goon library which is just fantastic.
>>77989987
Nah it was my parents old furniture. Oddly enough ghosts love to read zombie comics.
>>77985641

not only are they not overpriced compared to other absolutes but they are hands down the nicest absolutes in existence

>>77991841
Oh okay

I orcered a ton of stuff today.
Sweet Tooth HC
2 Barks HCs
The 2 Greunwald CA epic collections
The Simonson FF epic collection
>>77992157
That sounds great, really looking forward to it now.
Idk I'm just not used to paying up to 100$ for a single comic book...
>>77976436
I love that DC One Million omni. It's my rainy day comfort comic.
>>77992580
most absolutes are a couple hundred pages max... sandman absolutes are like 18-20 issues with amazing special features. the leather covers inlaid with pictures, the placeholding ribbon, the transparent cotton pages and special features and amazing binding
they are so fucking nice
Here are my recent purchases. Planning on replacing my Empowered and Chew volumes with the deluxe versions.
>>77983841
It would be worth buying if it wasn't drawn by David Finch with his god awful tiny face art style.
>>77992735
Here is bookshelf 1. And lets get this out of the way
>Girls
>>77992749
Bookshelf 2. And I think Marvel is incapable of packaging their stuff correctly. Neither my Ms. Marvel 1 and X Statix as the dust cover put on correctly so they are both creased wrong. I haven't seen a single copy of X-Statix that has the dust cover lined up on the spine correctly in these threads.
>>77992785
And here are my Image Deluxe Editions. Image releases really nice premium HCs in my opinion. The slip cases are nice if they aren't damaged during shipping or while being handled.
1/3 I still need to buy another bookshelf for all the crap i have just laying around
>>77993179
>>77993190
>>77992735
How much was the Chew omni? I saw it in a store for $90 and questions getting it or not as seeing I need those 2 HC volumes it covers, but I didn't want to backtrack and get the first omni, in the end triple dipping for Taster's Choice.
>>77993327
The emnivore was about $25 with my employee discount. The smorgasbord was technically it was $100 but my employee discount made it $59. I would check out instock trades to get the best discount.
>>77993190
Are the Avatar Hardcovers worth it? I have the paperbacks but I'm considering upgrading one day as they seem to look better on the shelf, even with the The Rift being slightly misaligned...
>>77993738
They are pretty nice, my brother gave them to me as a gift, I wouldn't spend anymore than $30 per volume. But they have their moments it's a decent story, high quality HC
>>77993839
Well, they're on InStockTrades for $22 so I guess it's worth making the transition.
Speaking of which, does anybody know a good place to sell comics?

Did we just become best friends?
Was going through a box of random crap in my over packed bedroom closet earlier tonight and came across one of those old comic book character trading cards I used to collect when I was a kid... pretty neat one too, foil and everything!
I've asked this in a recent thread, But any Dredd fans out there have a top three individual Dredd books? Preferably ones that have stand on their own stories or are particularly good? I'm not gonna be in for collecting all the case files but would like to get a few good collections of stories.
(forgot pic had to delete post out of shame)
>>77996679
and then I post it sideways.
this has been a lesson in "don't post after 7 beers"
>>77996679
I would recommend Block Mania/Apocalypse War
I don't really read comics much, I don't even have a dedicated shelf for them, but I picked these few up today after listening to recommendations (Already read and loved Low Vol.1).
>>77992739
Eh, Meredith's writing isn't exactly the greatest or even that good. The book had a really rough start with it contradicting the end of Azzerello's run and Diana acting bipolar for a really shoddy reason. The book kind of has a strength with Diana trying to solve her problems without jumping to fists automatically, it pulled a costume change equals character development without really earning it so I dropped it.
>>77998186
You're gonna love Chew. So much you're gonna give that copy to a friend and either pick up the Omnivore E=edition hardcovers or invest in the slipcased Smorgasbord editions. And they will repeat the cycle. Happened to me.
>>77998340
I've heard that a lot, when I picked these up the owner pointed at Chew and said "That one, that's a good one".
I saw the larger editions, but decided to play it safe JUST in case it doesn't live up to expectations. Thankfully, that doesn't seem like it will be the case.
>>77998367

>tfw nothing on my list comes out this week
>tfw I haven't finished Flash so I don't need to buy a new tradeback
I'm probably going to pre order my suicide squad vol 2 though. The best thing about that movie coming out is that DC has been forced to reprint the original run by Ostrander.
>>77998703
You really need to cut the collector corps and get a half decent bookshelf instead, the hole in the wall thing has never looked very good.
>>77998836
Oh I know, I've been dropping hints that that's what I would like for Xmas, but if not I'm planning on buying one with my bonus. As for the colloctor corps, I dropped them when they announced the Guardians box, and I sure as fuck don't want a Deadpool box.
>>77998611
>Hardcover and Omni sluts round these parts
W-why whatever d-do you mean?
>>77999561
He means people who can afford better quality books then him. Also normal people who don't whine about a book being too big

>People can't have different opinions than me, they must be poor!
>>78000382

>>78000389
it really isn't. and this whole yoloswag generation mentality of people disliking things for alternative reasons then what they state is nothing more than childish faggotry
no one is jealous of things because they dislike them. no one who says they dislike HCs buys TPs because they can't afford an extra $2 for a hardcover
they just. dont. like. them. It isn't even a hard concept to grasp. People like different things in life. I don't like hardcovers for the majority of my stuff.
Trade hardcovers by and large are pieces of trash with glued binding. I mean its the truth.
>>77996679
Dredd fan here, pic related. Three good individual Judge Dredd Volumes I would recommend, which can be enjoyed within themselves
1) Origins. This covers the beginning of the Justice Department in flashbacks, between a current plot in the Cursed Earth. And it is a good example of a story by 'the' Dredd artist, Ezquerra.
2) The Pit. This is a gritty police procedural story which shows Dredd reforming an under performing sector house in a slum area of MC1. This is available alone, as well as one of the more recent Case Files collections
3. Block Mania/Apocalypse War is an action comic from the black and white era. This is the bulk of Case Files 5 but it is available in various standalone volumes including a recoloured edition from IDW.
>>78001786
ive never read any dredd but man do i love that judge dredd movie
is robb schneiders character a movie only addition or does that character exist in the dredd world?
i really gotta read some dredd...
>>78002692
>>78001786
also, i guess a better question would be.. is the judge dredd movie an adaptation completely, or is that a story line that exists somewhere in the comics?
>>77993529
>40% employee discount
I should seriously get a part time job at a bookstore or something. Is there a limit on how much you can buy with that discount?
>>78002692
Robb Schneider's character is a movie only thing. There is nobody like that in the comics. For what it's worth I enjoy the Stallone Movie. I believe there were some comics in this universe but I don't know about them. These would be published outside of 2000AD if this is the case. The best Dredd comics are published by 2000AD.
There are at least three comics that are in the continuity of more recent the Karl Urban Film, Ma-Ma, Underbelly and Uprise. The main difference between these comics and the main continuity is that Dredd is about 30 years younger and the look of the uniforms etc is identical to the film.
And then there are the current IDW comics which I don't rate highly enough to collect. They are a mixed bag with some exceptions like Doug Wolk's Mega City 2.
There are a *lot* of Dredd comics but the main 2000AD comics written by John Wagner are the ones which deserve looking at first.
>>78004710
And then there was the DC comics Judge Dredd iteration which nobody really talks about. Like I said, there are a *lot* of Judge Dredd comics.
>>78004170
I work at a chain store in US called Hastings. Our employee discount gives pretty much in the store to use at cost plus a few dollars so they can make a profit. And we are required to use the employee discount. More to do with shitty corporate rules than them trying to help us out.

Always have a soft spot for Monster Society of Evil, even if there's a few dodgy splash pages in there, it has that Jeff Smith charm.
Also, isn't Ted McKeever in that Solo book? I was wondering 't'uther day why no-one on here talks about McKeever, one of the craziest mainstream cartoonists ever.
And that Complete Calvin & Hobbes makes my spine tingle every time I see it....
>>77976788

desu senpai, omnis are only really worth if they're either:
cheaper than all repective tpbs,
considerably larger in page size
or packed with extra content
buying for the cover alone is pure faggotry, you'll end up with an overly heavy book, with possibly crappier binding and gutter loss, that looks the same as the much lighter and easy to handle tpbs.
assuming you actually bought them to read and not exhibit in your manchild collection
Guys, I have a problem.
Since Black Friday I have purchased:

>>78014454
I buy the omnibus for the convenience of them. Not every series is going to have tpb especially if they are out of print. It's easier to me to just buy the collection instead of tracking down individual releases. Plus, they are usually a little higher quality. At least they are with Image and Dark Horse.

Aren't there Sandman Omnibii too?
>>78016119
yeah but for the money you may as well grab sandman absolutes by spending a bit more. you get so much more for the value its retarded
sandaman omnibi won't be worth shit in the future. sandman absolutes will be worth $200 a volume i'm calling it now
Ok memers. Here is the compiled list so far from other threads of stuff that is coming out or getting reprints. Please add to it.. we can start making it part of the OP or something so people know...
*They are reprinting doom patrol -TPBs confirmed but Most likely Deluxe Hardcovers to follow?
*They are reprinting starman omnbuses
*Preacher Absolutes
*Sandman Mystery Theatre (format unknown amazon lists price at $30?)
*Claremont Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 Omni - reprint incomming
*Goon Library Editions are in full swing
*Kabuki Library Editions too
*Perez Wonder Woman Omni Vol 2
*guardians of the galaxy omni
*gotham Central Omni
*Black Science Deluxe*
*Lock N Key Master Editions
*Superior Foes Omni
*Daredevil, companion, and Elektra reprints
*Batman by Neal Adams Omni
*Deadpool classic Omni
*AOA Omni reprint
*Johns' GL Omni vol 3
*The Flash by Geoff Johns Book 2 Paperback – May 24, 2016
PLEASE ADD TO THIS.
>>78016119
Yes, but they're not only smaller but poorer quality. The Sandman absolutes are pretty much the best looking books I've ever seen. I never read Sandman and if I wasn't highly autistic about what books I buy I'd have picked them up in a heartbeat.
Shame the absolutes don't have the omni's black pages, though, but still..

the omnis have superior semi transparent cloth pages...
>>78017496
>The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1
This is a reprint, correct?
>>78017648
also now that i think about it, the absolutes also have a blank black page at the beginning and end. what black pages are you referring to exactly?
>>78017496
I heard heard in another shelf thread that 52 is getting a trade reprint. Is that true? I need some more Question and Booster Gold in my life and I'm not really an Omnibus person, so I've a bad case of blue balls for a while.
>>78017714
>>78016671
>Deadpool Classic omni
this is Nicieza/Liefeld Deadpool, correct? because Kellypool already has an omni
>>78018174
It's everything after Kelly and before Nicieza's Cable & Deadpool. So #34-69, plus Agent X, and maybe a few other odd issues
>>78018412
I haven't read any of those. are they any good?
>>78018453
Christopher Priest wrote Deadpool from #34-45 and it was good, Gail Simone wrote the last few issues and Agent X, which was alright. The rest of that first DP run is either garbage or average.
Cable & Deadpool is fantastic and the omni is well worth it if you've got the cash.
>>78017947
oooo neat...
>>78017648
Someone post a pic of these "cloth" pages? I'm intrigued what they look like
>>77982334
yowza that's disappointing. The colors of long halloween are more important than the writing is.
My instocktrades Black Friday haul came in today. I already finished both Nailbiter vols and sweet lord is this series so good. Sucks that I'm gonna have to wait till February for the 3rd volume of Manifest Destiny since none of my local shops have any floppy copies in stock due to poor sales on the title. Any recommendations on what my next purchase from instocktrades should be?
>>78016671

I've actually got a pic this time!

The noirs are for people who want to see the uncolored inks of artists like Miller and Sale. It's a good way to see how they work similar to the artist editions without dropping a grand on a book.
Ok, bit of an exaggeration, but still, those fuckers are expensive and usually only focuses on pencil art.
>>78017496
>>Machine Man by Kirby & Ditko: The Complete Collection
That's sweet
>>78015397
Damn, anon.
>>78016671
Thanks cream, you're like the only non-retarded tripfag I know...
>>78020831
>cream
>non-retarded
ay boys, I'm curious about that Fury: My War Gone By HC,
how's the binding, glued? sewn?
>>77988513
I see you have it. pls respond.
i'm too lazy to browse over cream's collection but i'm gonna assume he's got it as well
>>78020779
I'm psyched for that too. I still want to pick up Devil Dinosaur as well.
>>78016671
Don't forget Dark Horse releasing Moebius.
#1
>>78022712
#2. Got lots more boxed comics and books but can't be bothered to picture them all.
>>78021093
The binding looks to be sewn. It has held up well so far.
I picked these up during Things From Another World's Black Friday sale.
>>78020800
I could be worse. I could always start collecting Region B editions of films.
And to be a patrician of comics, I'd be out looking for mint/near-mint issues of the most foreign of comics, straight outta Brazil or some shit.
>>78016671
>Sandman Mystery Theater
Oh shit, it's about time.
>>78023901

>>78023154

>>78020831

>>78020559
are you proficient at cock-suckery?
>>78022527
ill add it to the list. please remind me if i forget it. i'll try to add a pastebin or something to next shelf thread?
>>78023154
man, I really liked COWL, but the ending seemed rushed and cut off.
was it a lack of sales thing?
>>78022732
tfw 2 books and a special behind on the DCGNC. Can't even pick them up from my LCS till after Christmas.
>>77988556
That much Mizuki makes me very jelly, may he rest in peace, toughest (next to Kirby) cartoonist ever!!!
>>78023154
Top 10. Nice. One of the few Moore books I like.
>>78022712
A speedforce's worth of comics.
Funny picture books? Why yes! :^)
I also have vol 1-3, vol 5 is pending, so is vol 1/3 of Ennis' run (I have vol 2/3, vol 3/3 is out next year.) And not to forget the whole Ellis run.
Picked up TDK III issue 1 today.I liked it.
>>78026401
I think I'm at batman RIP in my batman readingses.... when can i read tdkiii?
I really need to keep a batman book pulled at all times to read at least an issue of every night. I haven't read any batman in close to two months. Super behind.
>>78027421
As long as you've read The Dark Knight Returns, you can read it. It's out of continuity from normal DCU
>>78027638
cool. thanks friend
>>78023080
alright. thanks man
>>77974951
How much money am I looking at approximatly? must be like 2k$ right?
>>78027733
i duno mang, bust your calculator out then add about $750-1k from amazon/store purchases.
What do you guys think about marvel's epic collecion? Is it worth collecting?
>>78028186
you're talking about this right?
http://images.yuku.com.s3.amazonaws.com/image/jpeg/ff736ad81e416628a7282c1f32e8ce8fe63de47d.jpg
i think its cool because it makes a big ole meme image from the covers but last i checked this was a subscription based EU thing... so i never bothered to look at what is actually included
>>78028186
shit my bad bro.. thought we were talking about pic related...
the epic collections are cool. i have some of the volumes...
Read this, this will help you a lot
"The Ultimate Collection line collects entire runs of one title, or related titles by one creator. The Complete Epic line collects large crossovers spanning several titles. The Epic Collection line is a numbered collection of sequential issues of one title, sometimes including crossovers from related titles, starting from the beginning of a character and designed to match other collections such as Marvel Omnibus.[1] For instance the Iron Man collection "The Enemy Within" and the Fantastic Four collection "All in the Family" chronologically follow their respective Marvel Omnibus. This collection is not released sequentially as a priority is to fill in periods not covered by previous collections."
Here is a list of all the aforementioned currently offered
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Ultimate_Collection,_Complete_Epic_and_Epic_Collection_lines
>>78028186
the page quality and book itself is meh but it's the only way to collect some good runs
>>78028278
>>78028308
Thanks. Also, is there a DC equivalent?
>>78028399
Yeah, Alex Ross art across the spines.
Look up Eaglemoss.
My modest shelf.
Don't have enough spare money to really buy everything I want. But i get some new ones now and then!
>>78028399
not really
dc just reprints runs or half runs nowadays
deluxe editions collect full runs but those are hardcovers
>>78028469
isn't house of M a cool read? there are a lot more house of M stories but i don't think most are worth reading from what i've heard...
anyone know if there are any other MUST reads?
>>78028469
How does one go from buying volumes 1 and 2 of hellblazer then jump to 9? Blasphemy.
>>78028512
House of M was OK. I got the hardcover of the House of M Spider Man, FF, X-Men mostly because of the cover. desu I only bought the HoM trade because I'm an X-Fag, and I felt I needed it.
>>78028512
9 was on Black Friday sale and I loved the Critical Mass arc haha
>>78023154
I wish the Sin City volumes were available in a format that isn't too small so I could purchase only the ones I want.
Frank's art looks pig disgusting in the later stories.
4th edition when?
>>78028978
For Miller art that looks pretty good.
>>78028469
Uzumaki any good?
>>78029670
if you're into weird horror fiction, yeah, pretty good.
junji ito's work is pretty entertaining, even the comedy/horror ones
>>78025394
I was sad to hear he passed away. At least he was old as shit. I really need to pick up the rest of Showa. I might read Hitler today.
>>78029670
how much do you like spiral shapes?
>>78017672
yeah, the Hachette catalogue is out
http://images.abovethetreeline.com/ea/TW/pdfs/MARBKPREVIEW2013009_FULL%20(reduced).pdf
>>78025313
I subbed to them online and get sent them in the mail every couple/few weeks.
>>78031913
I'm a student so don't have a consistent address, so I have to resort to picking them up in-store. How's the Crisis special? I'm undecided on picking it up
wew lads, secret santamemer gift came today...

Best Green Lantern collections?

>>78033098

>>77993216
Welp, ya put some money in the Fanta coffers with all those classic Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck books, d'ya ever feel like dipping your toes into Fanta's more unorthodox stuff? Notice you have castle Waiting there too, ace comic, still haven't gotten round to buying volume 2.
>>77988513
What's the book inbetween Velvet Glove and Pompei (much respect for that by the way, never seen a Santoro book in these shelf threads), that sloped writing looks familiar to me...and is that a Study Group mag inbetween Tiger Lung and Megahex?
>>78005656
I met Chris Weston at a con recently, he had his head down, sketching, not talking to anyone so I leaned in slightly and said: "Crazy Barry Little Mo!" and he looked up, surprised, blinked and said : "bloody hell! You're old school, aren't you?!" to which I replied "well, not quite Class of '77, but, yeah, pretty old school Mr. Weston!" Felt good being called "old school" by one of the best illustrators in comics. "Crazy Barry, Little Mo" was Weston's first ever Dredd story back around '88, I was reading 2000AD since about 84/85, though. But I haven't bought it since about 2004, I think.
>>78007674
Thanks! Gaw, I saw a reply and thought it was someone wanting to talk about Ted McKeever.....
>>78015397
That is a GREAT Criterion Collection...collection. Would love to pick up Crumb for the Charles Crumb Famous Artists Course Facsimile Entrance Exam but I'm a Limey without a regionless DVD player and certainly can't afford one at this moment in time....
>>78025394
He was a great, great cartoonist, only have NonNonBa but lent it to a friend. He's very trustworthy, I only really lend my stuff out to two people.
So I'm thinking of sending my dad my amazon wishlist for chiristmas. Any chance I could get recs from the list for what I should ask for?

>>78033035
It's still in the plastic at the minute, not had time to check it out yet. I've already got/read the normal version so I'm in no rush to be honest, wasn't a massive fan of it either. If it wasn't for the Flash being in it, I probably wouldn't of bought it.
