I didnt see one in the catalog so let's see what ya got! Show off your shelves too, if you want.
I got The Incal around christmas, I just finished it.It was underwhelming. Maybe all those derivative works just bored me on the original, I don't know.
It's not even the most exciting example of Moebius' art.
>>78590986
I got a $20 gift card to b&n, so I got Daredevil ultimate collection vol.2 by Brubaker, FINALLY!! Also ordered Sandman vol.1 with it, since i've been slacking for years on reading it.
No recent purchases but I have a $50 gift card from B&N I got during christmas. Posting my sad excuse for a shelf anyways

>>78591048
Are you the guy whose copy I mailed to for secret santa? He never responded after it was received...
>>78591210
I read Basilisk Rising as "Ballsack Rising"
>>78591048
Yeah I'd say the best Moebius stuff was collected in those Epic collections in the 80's. Stuff like Long Tomorrow, Airtight Garage, or Arzach
>>78591048
Yeah, I agree 100%.
>>78594019
what a pile of shit
the guy i bought a book for never said thank you either. worthless fucks.
also what is the deal with overstock?

>>78595666
your a fucking retard the whole point of the secret santa was to gift anonymously, you shouldn't expect to get a thank you. But obviously a trip-fag like you wouldn't understand that concept.Checked satan by the way fagggot
>>78595950
>Checked satan by the way fagggot
I don't know what this meme is. And try to control your spastic outbursts or we're taking the xbox away for another week. You've been warned.
the person i gifted to was a trip/namefag so good job freaking out like some nutter off his meds
>>78594019
no i am not
Instocktrades sales ticking me off. Have 10 sales simultaneously and I can't even get the books I want from them because they remove them randomly unless I drop like 200+ dollars at once. Some front page deals aren't 50% off because they removed a dc sale and blanket changed the discount to the entire DC catalog I guess.
What should I buy lads? Ignore the OOP stuff, also some other things I need to add.
>>78596979
I got me myself some things during december
-bacchus vol 1
-sandman overture
-annihilator
-russian olive to red king
-deadly classtp 2 (gurl gave me 3)
all fucking worth it, especially overture MY god, Williams the third is number 1
>>78596979
Welp you already got some morrison there, ever tried the invisibles, you can get the ungodly big and totally "do you even lift " ominibus or the deluxe editions!
>>78597419
>Williams the third is number 1
Yeah. I'm trying to find Batwoman Elegy Deluxe, but it's OOP so it's super expensive. I found an ebay listing with it and 3 HC's of JHIII's New 52 Batwoman for $100. Thinking about doing it.
>>78597469
Yeah i gave up and went with the tp for that, at least that i found on my store.
The OOP
It almost makes me feel like preordering everything, i'm almost fearful to wai for the Deluxe Private Eye until midt 2016 because things could get retarded.
>>78596579
>I'll call him a kid, that'll show him
>damage control
Again it's a SECRET santa thread, that means you aren't suppose to know who gifted you which means you are no entitled to a thank you.
> the person i gifted to was a trip/namefag so good job freaking out like some nutter off his meds
So what If they're a tripfag it still doesn't change the fact, they don't have to give you a thank you if they don't want to.
I gifted several people (one of them being a name fag) and only got two thank yous, but you don't here me bitching about like a little whiny cunt.
>>78597533
>It almost makes me feel like preordering everything
Yeah, same. I wanted Annihilation Omni too, but that's already OOP.
>>78596979
Doom Patrol is getting the deluxe hardcover treatment later this year if you want to wait for that. I would get Flex Metallo or Animal Man
>>78591048
I also just recently read The Incal, I had the opposite response. I thought it would've been overhyped for me, and that all the derivative works would make it feel less fresh, but I loved it.
>>78596979
I own the first three, no regrets.
I have recently acquired:
vol 2-8 of the color Bone reprints;
MegaHex
The D&Q 25th anniversery reprints
Creative Illustration by Loomis
Constructive Anatomy by Bridgemen
And pic related. The FF book completes my FF omni set.
Just got Robin Vol 1 and Black Panther by Christopher Priest Complete Collection Vol 2
>>78597775
>Doom Patrol is getting the deluxe hardcover treatment later this year if you want to wait for that.
Think I might do that. Not a fan of the 1000+ page omnis. Too big.
>>78598916
Yeah they get a bit uncomfortable to read after a while but I like the convenience of having everything in the same place
>>78595950
It wasn't anonymous. It was my own redundant copy I mailed to him personally because it was on his wishlist and it'd have been ridiculously expensive to send to him new
>>78597562

Anybody got the goon library editions? I'm fairly new to comics. I'd like hellboy library issues but 50€ per piece is too much now.
Goon seems like a LOT to read and also a nice big issue. Is it worth it? I don't know shit about it.
I enjoyed saga, east of west and aquaman so far.
>>78603182
Well worth it.
>>78603182
Hellboy Library volumes are like €36 - €40 depending on where you look, where you from anon?Managed to find Hellboy Volume 1 for €20 a while back and it was a first print too.
>>78603644
Germany
But I like my comics in original language. If its french/german/english I take the original not translated.
Comicbook stores here mostly have german translated one. Amazon is cool but some things are really expensive on it.
>>78603726
Try uscomicversand.de they have a pretty good stock of US comics, also worth mentioning is a Dutch comic store Cheap-comics.com their sales are pretty great and shipping to Germany isn't bad either. Just bought Avengers Omnibus from them for €35.Why weren't you in /co/'s secret santa threads?
>>78603846
Thanks anon!
I missed it cause I had too much shit to do last month. Next time!
>>78603874
Bookdepository is also good, owned by Amazon and free worldwide shipping.
Ordered two hardcovers of The Rocketeer from them, one came damaged and when I contacted them about it they told me to keep it and sent me a new one for free.
>>78604676
Some places are good for it. Others aren't. I have 2 copies of Scarlet Spider vol 1 HC from a 3rd party seller because of damage.
>>78606957
You're talking about Amazon right? Bookdepository only sells new books.

Sometime in the next month or so I need to really get Absolute Batman Inc since I have the other two. I really just want to finish collecting Morrison's run already.
>>78607147
Does that East of West Year One collect the "World of East of West" or whatever that special was called? or is it just the first 12 issues?
>>78607586
It's got the profiles on the nations and the timeline, but not the comic pages from that.

Dude, I was the one you helped story time Batman & Robin and Return of Bruce Wayne a few months ago. You were already one of the only namefags on this board I liked for that, now you're for sure my favorite. Hope New Years treats you good man.
>>78607073
Yeah, Amazon.
I'd just take a copy of volume 2 that didn't cost $40.

Fuck off with your impossible to find Madman.
I haven't contributed to one of these threads in a very long time, but this haul was so good I couldn't help but share. (Mind the potato I used to take this photo.)
All but The White Lama and The Legion of Night were found in a single shop, believe it or not. I needed about 4 or 5 random issues online to complete Shade, but that was basically a non-issue considering all I found.
>>78613855
Is so beautiful.
There's a shop near me with Atomica.
It's $150 so i have to save a bit bUT is MASSIVE
>>78614085
I think White Lama is pretty hard to find these days
>>78614277
It was last I checked Amazon, hence my excitement. Not as rare as Foolkiller or those later issues of Shade, I think, but still a great find.
>>78609406
Authority and Books of Magic.
Such goodness.
You can back to Books of Magic so often
>>78597775
I thought they were only softcovers.
bump for night crowd
>>78616695
Yea, amazon seems to say they're only softcovers.
Those New X-Men book came in the mail today.
>>78596979
Definitely get Orion. It's basically what Simonson did for Thor, but for Orion. Warning though: All the short stories are stuffed in the back and it's a pain in the fucking ass trying to figure out which short story goes to which issue.
>>78613266
Uncanny X-Force & Secret Warriors omnis...
Let me know if you ever want to part with them for some crazy reason, my friend.
>>78616852
Good dd collection man.
I see you like your villians too which is awesome
Those Fear Agents should be had by everyone. Such good quality in terms of story and library edition
>>78616892
Yeah, that's what I hear, which is why I've put off buying it. But I do love me some Simonson. Too bad that Mighty Thor is so hard to find these days, I really want that.
>>78616899
I would save those from a fire before my roommates.
But ill put you in my will they are such good stories.
>>78616790
LAME! I got excited and hoped you were right. Is Amazon just wrong?
>>78616913
FEAR AGENT IS SHIT
>>78616966
Hahahahahahaha!
I'll remember you said as much.
>>78616945
Uh man. I had a Thor omni and sold it... so much regret.
That being said i think *if you have it/save* you should be able to get one around $175
>>78616945
>Yeah, that's what I hear, which is why I've put off buying it.
It's really not too big a deal. The stories are mostly only related thematically, but even the ones that resolve plot are easily found by their unique artstyles.
And if you like Simonson that much, his FF was collected in a cheap ass trade, too. I'd rank that better than his Thor, honestly; 352 is one of the best single issues Marvel put out.
>>78616969
Possibly? I admittedly didn't get too in depth when checking haha.
>>78616976
Whaat. You dont like mcgyver drunk han solo shenanigans with a touch of heart every now and then?
>>78616913
Okay, okay. I give. You're the 199th person to state as much about Fear Agent. I will pick it up on my next IST order in February when I buy Superior Foes of Spider-Man omni.
New year, new month, new interwebs order placed the other day:
JSA Omni Vol 2
Absolute Batman: Court of Owls
Green Arrow by Lemire Dlx
>>78616913
Still debating on whether I should get that Nocenti DD trade Marvel is releasing this year. If I do get it then that's it for my DD collection (unless Soule knocks it out of the park with his run). And those Fear Agent books are godly. And surprisingly cheap
>>78616945
You should still get the Orion omni anyways because it's just awesome. I think it's actually better than his Thor run and Walt's Thor is fantastic.
>>78617083
>>78617085
To provide some more informative perspective, the series takes a while to find its footing. Everything in the first LE feels like Remender wasn't sure what he wanted to do, poorly balancing melodrama with pulpy action. The second half redeems it, providing the type of character introspection/deconstruction he excels at, but it may be too little, too late for you.
Rage of Ultron is basically FA, albeit more concise and focused. Plus it stars Pym.
>>78617085
>Superior Foes of Spider-Man omni.
Wait, this is a thing?
>>78617176
You have the best DD in print. Just my opinion., i mean other stuff is good, but what but what you have is great.
That being said if you want to finish it out and be DD encyclopedia im all for it man
Soule has been interesting so far, only 2 issues to be fair but I'm liking it.
Hus Swamp Thing was really well done and got me into his work.
>>78617314
Yes and one must be bought BY EVERYONE.

Lemire did a brilliant job on GA. I only wished he had stuck around. I guess DC left a bad taste in his mouth.
I haven't finished the first JSA omni. It's huge. But I am enjoying it. Can't wait to get to Vol. 3 for that Kingdom Come storyline. I always wanted to read that. Looked sick with Eaglesham's work.
Finally took a picture.
This would be most recent.
>>78617639
>I only wished he had stuck around. I guess DC left a bad taste in his mouth
He left because the artist left and he didn't want to continue their story with a new partner. Sorrentino was lured away by his dream of drawing X-Men
>>78614085
> Foolkiller
Nice, I hunted down all the issues too
>>78617736
Missing pic?
>>78617877
Oh. I figured since he didn't just leave GA, but seemingly the entire company after also leaving JLU, he had some sort of DC falling out.
>>78617966

Which is crazy because their arrow was going so well man
>>78617558
Hunter?
>>78617932
Yea, I think I saw you post that the last time I was here. Good looks, fellow Gerber fan.
Don't know if you read it, but that Legion of the Night series is another of Steve's forgotten 90s works. Not perfect, but still very enjoyable, and may be the weirdest thing he's ever written (which is certainly saying something). You have to deal with Portacio art, but Foolkiller wasn't exactly the prettiest book, either.
Out of anything already released, what single book do you want the most for your shelf that you don't already have?
>>78618007
>he had some sort of DC falling out
I think it was because they moved to California, and Marvel was still in NY which is more convenient for Lemire in Toronto
Between Doom Patrol omni, Infinity Gauntlet omni and the Scalped hcs.
I just can't pick
>>78618017
Dr. Mirage I am particularly interested in, but am holding out hope for a Valiant Deluxe edition of the first trade and the eventual second.
Prophet I also will hardcover-wait for. I hear more good than not.
That New X-Men book, though...
>>78618213
I'd say just get the Infinity Gauntlet trade and the Silver Surfer: Rebirth of Thanos collection unless you really want the other miscellaneous tin-ins
>>78617443
>>78617639
I have the first two JSA omnis. I am just waiting for them to go OP so I can unload them. The majority of threats the team faced came from within the team, or so it seemed to me, which was not to my taste.
>>78616892
I have the Thor omni and the Orion omni; they're both great.
Btw, for anyone looking for a good cape epic/crossover thing, I suggest the DC One Million or Infinity Gauntlet omnis. Both have a couple boring issues in them, but are 90% gold.
>>78618185
Ah. Good. Because I'd like to hope Lemire would go back to DC with Sorrentino and do some sort of DKR-style book for GA.
>>78618304
Thanos Quest too, which is in the Omni.
>>78618213
I tried Scalped when it first came out. I know I am missing something great, but I can't get into it like everyone else. Just like I can't get into Game of Thrones, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad. I know they're good. Something turns me off about them.
>>78618152
I would've said the Nikopol Trilogy collection, but I just saw that it's being reprinted, as well. I guess dreams really do come true.
>>78618304
The thing is, the omni collects part of Starlin's run on Surfer. I have the MPH's for IG and RoT, but nothing else has those SS issues.
>>78618133
>Not perfect, but still very enjoyable, and may be the weirdest thing he's ever written
I want to find his Malibu stuff.
>>78618244
>Xmen
Well its Yost which is why i decided to take the plunge on that series. Scarlet Spider is one of my all time favorites.
HC wsiting.
So if you look at my shelf above. Im totally that guy i get it. But I'm not sure if Prophet will ever get that treatment and i love it too much not too own it.
I'm hc waiting Deadly Class, Saga, Black Science (one of few i support in floppy), and everything Valiant i hc wait. I literally just found out about the new Doctor Mirage so yeah they probably eill hc it but you know it'll be 2 years or something craxy.
Looking forward to that Divinity and Imperium hc treatment.
>>78618152
Clairmont X-men omni(s)
>>78618366
Pretty sure the omni has the exact same issues as Rebirth of Thanos
>>78618344
Thanos Quest is in the Silver Surfer collection
>>78618306
I just picked up DC One Million from HPB. The two by my house in the Bay Area Cali at least was selling it for only $40.
>>78618304
I have Rebirth and have the tp of Gauntlet somewhere but honestly it wound be for the tie ins and any extra content.
>>78618366
There's a huge Bilal boxset coming out really soon, don't know if that includes reprints of his individual series though. Would be great if it does, would fill some nice patches in my shelves
>>78618422
>Thanos Quest is in the Silver Surfer collection
Okay, my mistake.
>>78618386
Hc waiting **
>>78618392
Any in particular? Or all?
>>78618373
I read a couple issues of Sludge, but it didn't feel like anything he didn't already get to with Man-Thing, Howard, or Void Indigo. He did have more of a traditionally more "superhero" book, too, I think, but I never got to that.
>>78618422
>Pretty sure the omni has the exact same issues as Rebirth of Thanos
Yes, 34-38. But the omni is collection of some of his other issues that happened concurrently with IG.
>>78618425
>DC One Million
I got it from my wife for xmass 2014; I love it.
>>78618386
Huh. What made Scarlet Spider so good? I was somewhat interested because of Yost and the character, but never got into it.
Also, I though they already came out with a Deadly Class HC. I found one at the local HPB at least. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Black Science HC. And is Valiant releasing a Book of Death Dlx any time soon?
>>78618456
Yeah some of the classic cosmic trades are weird and deceptively named. Like Avengers vs Thanos collects Jim Starlin's run on Captain Marvel, except the last issue and the Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel. The name of the collection makes it seem like it would just be a loose collection of stories
>>78618473
All, but mostly the first and third, I think. I love Cockrom/Clairmont together.
>>78618442
All I saw was a hardcover collection being released in April on Amazon. They've gotten stuff wrong before though, so I'll have to look into that boxset (the only thing I have of his is Exterminator 17, but his style wasn't as developed back then).
>>78618365
Well to be honest i think all those stories have some of the same things in common and that's that they are really really character driven.
They are epic as all hell but it does take some patience. Action and big moments are inbetween the characters being built but i think that what truly makes them shine.
You end up really caring when things happen to the characters you've come to know
>>78618553
For the Avengers/Thanos thing, Starlin's main story ended in issue 33, but 34 (his last issue) is just a one off with Nitro, which he turns into the premise behind DoCM years later. You're right that they could be named better, but there is a bit of logic to their arrangement.
Recently bought art books for both Inside Out and Song of the Sea. Also got issues 1 - 3 of I Hate Fairyland, really love the art in it.
>>78618609
I'll give them all another try. Especially Scalped.
>>78618543
Scarlet just had a great sense of character in that its a Spider that's willing to go the extra mile and stop really bad shit i mean he lobotomized Carnage man.
He is a great anti hero with a developing cast and i think it's a good study of what makes a "heto"
Also a rage hulk mode which is nice back up we will never get to more of as his gone.

>>78618881
The first one yes, the second one while out of print hasn't gotten crazy expensive yet. A third one is on the way
>>78618733
Hey thanks for the assessments on Scarlet Spider and Scalped. Not that I need to add more to my read pile. Though, I still look out for new stuff.
>>78618758
>>78618587
Looks great. too bad i ain't a frenchie.
>>78618929
No problem!
I feel you my read pile is out of control but those two aye really great reads.
Scarlet is really hard to get a hold of online, i think vol 2 and 3 are oop.
>>78618835
If there truly are gods, DC will grant yours and my wish.
Plus my wish for Moore's Swamp Thing Dlx HCs to get republished as well.
>>78618979
Yea, I'm in the States, so I can't justify that much money for something I can't easily read.
Further (light) research tells me the April Nikopol reprint is by Titan Books (the guys doing the latest Jodo stories) and should be in English.
To buy or not to buy.
Gf would be pist cause were about to move but it's so good

I just couldn't have hc next to a tp
>>78619115
Yeah saw that too. I'm not sure they just say stuff like that sometimes. I remember in an interview that they said corto maltese would get HCs eventually but i doubt that will happen considering they haven't even published 3 books yet.
>>78618835
I won those on ebay and still in my read pile. Is it really add good as I'm told?
The Morrison intro is so praising
>>78618881
Really?
That is excellent news.
>>78619192
I said the last time that it would take a miracle to get all of those Corto books collected/re-released. IDW has attempted several times to bring cult, old-school favorites like that back into the contemporary spotlight, but have never once completed collecting a series. The demand for these types of books just isn't high enough, unfortunately.
>>78619228
I love them, but not everone is crazy about Kirby's dialogue. Personally, I think it is perfect.
As far as the omnis go, the last few issues of Mister Miracle are a little weak, imo, but everything else is great.
>>78619185
I know man...I know...
Picked up a volume of Knightfall, ASM: Happy Birthday, and for shits and giggles, one of the Batman Punisher crossovers.
WHAT'S UP FAGGOTS?
Who excited for a new year, new books, and brand new dank memes ?
>>78618152
Madman atomica :(
>>78619296
Exactly more people should be buying them.
>>78619064
Your dreaming too small,wish fir absolutes
>>78619147
Hoh, man. I probably shouldn't have order the books I did, buuuuuut....
>>78619325
Is it campy tech dialogue or what is it ppl complain about.
I just got do the dialouge where is b Kay nonstop info about what's happening
>>78619228
They're pure, unadulterated Kirby--so both the good and the bad that comes with that. They also tend to get overpraised (especially on /co/) for innovating things that had already existed well before they came out.
If you can handle classic comics, you'll be fine. Just remember it's just a unique, singular experiment and not some bible of comic making.
>>78619386
Give me your Essex County. Now.
>>78619441
Ohhhhh how is Two Brothers?
Is there an omni for Conway era ASM? I can't seem to fnd one, but it's such a key period that it seems to me there should be one.
>wanna buy books but know i have to read what i have
so how do you guys find good deals on comics?
>>78619395
>Is it campy tech dialogue or what is it ppl complain about.
A lot of modern comics fans aren't able to handle dialogue that doesn't sound "realistic," in the sense that the characters speaking don't do so in a way that a typical, real life person would.
The merits of these older cosmic comics (see a lot of Marvel's less superhero-y output at that time, too) is that they were exploring concepts and themes which were more complex and heady than what you'd find in your average superhero book. If you're just looking for a story that "moves" you or whatever, the dialogue, if you're anything like those aforementioned fans, will probably stop make that harder.
And the current purch.
>>78619432
teehee nope
it's still on topshelf's site tho
http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/essex-county-limited-slipcase-edition/928
>>78619471
not as good as daytripper, but still pretty good. It kinda reminds me of a Brazillian essex county, funnily enough. if you like Ba and Moon you'll dig it tho.
>>78619566
Agreed.
I used to dislike the wordiness of old school comics, but I feel exactly the opposite now. I read every caption.
>>78619566
I think i can do it I'm going to read the first issue in the omni right now and check it out.
Thanks guy
>>78619572
That sounds like a great read. I really liked Daytripper and have been eyeing that book

New books: GotG v1/2 , simonson thor 1,2 , Atomic Robo, Plague of frogs 4, Man without fear, and Fear Agent Library v1
picked up Doom that came to Gotham on wednesday.
>>78618017
Freaking Prophet man
>>78621587
Guardians is so great. Don't read the Bendis run though. He shits on what you have.
If you end up liking it enough this stuff is really a well put together piece of Marvel
>>78621587
Also hell yeah bprd.
Don't forget Black Science vol 3!
>>78621717
WAARR
Recents! All-Star was from /co/ secret santa (thanks bronco!) but the rest were indulgences from Christmas money. Oh, I also got the second volume of Hark! A Vagrant from my parents but forgot to put it in the photo
Been waiting on a shelf thread to post my updates
1/5
>>78618017
How's the Ghostbusters book?
>>78621987
4/5
Here's the manga shelf in the same room for the hell hell of it.
>>78621942
Its really funny.
The voices and characters are spot on from the movies and shows.
Lots of Easter eggs from all the Ghostbusters media through the book too.
Fun stuff and a great edition
>>78622023
5/5
I want to get bigger matching shelves soon for my ish that isn't singles.
>>78622023
Dat Gundam
>>78622048
Is Tenge manga any good?
I watched the show and it seemed to be rushed ending. Also lots of let's hide the boobs
>>78622110
I love it, but I might be bias because I like titties and gratuitous violence. But in all seriousness, the show didn't even touch half of the material in the manga, so if you liked the show even a tiny bit I recommend it because it's leagues ahead in terms of depth of material and character development. Plus the boobs as mentioned before.
>>78612841
Damn that Zatoichi set looks nice.
>>78622188
My friends were really into it and two of us were so pist how it ended so id love to give it another chance and read it instead.
Thanks man
>>78621816
heh, i have the floppies and I'm either going to get the 3rd tpb finally, or buy that amazing deluxe hardcover thats coming out in february and give the first two tpb's to my friend.
kinda on the fence about it.. i want to get the Hawkeye OHC's as well
>>78622559
Oh i gotcha.
Ive been on the floppies but that ohc is very sexy.
You could always buy the hardcover and give s friend your trades.
Bring them into the Onion.
>>78621795
I've read part of annihilation but i have a hard time reading a long storyline like that digitally so i thought the 2 vols of guardians would give me what i was wanting without all the event drama
>>78622725
I see where you're coming from. I don't like digital as well, that being said the whole cosmic line really feels devoid of the event bs to me.
It's mostly written by Abnett and Lanning so it feels much more concise than say, reading every AXIS tie in.
And once you read all the way to Thanos Imparitive the pay off and grandness f the whole cosmic saga they make is so worth the reading.
>>78618152
The Colossal Conan :'(
>>78618152
The Eternals omnibus. Never gonna happen without a reprint.
>>78618152
I want Johns' JSA, the remaining three volumes of Kirby's Fourth World, We3, there's so many that I want, but JSA is my main priority.
1/2
>>78623123
2/2
Five pictures incoming of my collection.
>>78620988
cool thanks
i never thought it would get a deluxe treatment so ive got 6 of the tpbs. not really sure what my move is.. probably just gonna keep collecting the tpbs
>>78619520
I buy used.
>>78623493
I know what you mean, i would probably do the same honestly.
I think switching tps for hc would make more sense if the collect Soules run the sane way.
I have the first 2 Flash hc from the 52 and am going to have to figure something bout wren the Manapaul deluxe comes out
>>78623415
Pretty good, lots of deluxe and omni.
How's the izomnibus?
>>78624690
I hadn't read it or been interested until that omni was announced. I really like it and I've been meaning to watch the show.
I've only been at this for a few months. Yes, I'm a newfag. Yes, I know my collection is pretty basic/standard. Gotta start somewhere...

I appreciate that X-O Manowar omni. Well done.
>>78623415
Hoh, man. DAT Uncanny X-Force omni. Too jelly.
Anyone got the Goon Fancy Pants volumes? How's the quality compared to the new library volume?
Got a bunch of udon art books from IST along with the Hellboy 100 and Sakai Project. SO many fucking packing peanuts. I actually like my smaller orders from them because they have those nice packing pillow things where you know shit will just not move during shipping.
I'm thinking of picking up Mind MGMT after going over the storytimes. The art is pretty bad though. Anyone know of any good manga HCs. I know people recommend Gundam Origins and JoJo's but is there anything else cool in hardcover format?
>>78627735
The World Encyclopedia of Comics is pretty good.
>>78591253
>RR
My nigga
>>78632307
I can deal with bad art sometimes, but is Mind MGMT's story good? Does it deliver in the end?
>>78632307
Freaking Vinland Saga, man. And it's cheap too. Too bad the next volumes are cancelled.
