Watchmen not pictured
>>82508892
I've never heard of these, but that team is GOAT. Have you had a chance to read them yet?
How was Animal Man once Morrison left?
Great collection! Looks like you have good taste.
>>82509034
Thanks!
I have not had a chance to read Seven Soldiers or post-Morrison Animal Man yet, but I've been told that they are both fantastic, especially Seven Soldiers, which I've been told is GM's best work.
I buy stuff quicker than I read lol.
>>82509280
yiff yiff
>>82509232
I can relate. Anything past my bookends is unread.
I will look into Seven Soldiers.
>>82509303
What, Blacksad and Usagi?
They're supposed to be good enough comics that you don't have to be a furry to want to read them. Or are there others I'm not recognizing?
The manga shelf grows

5/5 is what I just picked up today, so hyped to finally have this for my shelf, now dc needs to reprint the rest. If there is ONE good thing aboit Suicide Squad getting a movie, it's this right here
>>82510870
Same with the Mike Grell Green Arrow reprints because of the show
>>82510870
Nice I need to pick that up.
I just got the floppies of legends & I can't wait for this Jem to come out.
Anyone have the Gotham Central Omnibus yet? I need pics of the cover sans dustjacket, the binding, and anything else awesome.
>>82510870
I bought this thinking it was that I'm so dumb
>>82511272
Haha, aw man, I'm sorry
H8 and R8
>>82510695
Starlight is meh, get more Prophet instead
>>82512363
Just started reading comics/10
>>82512763
I don't own any comics because to continue to be a well adjusted, successful normie I have hidden my power level my whole life but I have a question: I would probably actually purchase am X-factor volume 3 omnibus if it existed. Does it? I'm having a hard time finding one so I'm guessing no but I thought you guys may be able to tell me for sure.
>>82512859
It has a 2-volume softcover Complete Collection
Just arrived today
>>82512924
Thanks, that's what I'd been seeing. I was hoping somehow there was a nice big hardcover one with all of it that I was missing. Anyway, thanks again I appreciate it.
Ordered comics for the first time in years. Superman: Secret Identity HC and Adam Strange - Planet Heist. Will post when they've arrived some time next week. New thread then I guess.
Just ordered this.
Pretty excited to read it.
Honestly surprised it shipped, because the publisher has no stock and it's not on ebay or anywhere else I looked. What am I in for?
Is Future's End any good? What about Satellite Sam?
>>82514631
Largely meh, a few of the tie-ins are great
>>82512363
How are those Moon Knight books? I've been meaning to get into the character.
>>82512510
Well we all gotta start somewhere.
>>82515373
Haven't started on the Epic collection yet, but Ellis run was top tier imo.
>>82515748
Thanks. I was thinking of skipping the first Epic since the second volume looks like it has superior art. More Sienkiewicz I think.
Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday. I don't know about you all, but my shops are throwing sales. Whatcha looking forward to picking up this weekend to throw up on yo shelves besides the free swag?
>>82516428
I'm going comic shop hopping on Saturday and I might hit up TCAF
>>82516428
Spent waaaaaay too much on comics last week, gotta try and stay away from the shops for a bit
>>82516507
Last year one of the shops on my own hopping excursion had a 50% off sale. This year it is just 25%. Sucks b/c they are have TONS of good stuff. I was going to go crazy this year buying everything, but now I don't know. I'll still pick up a few OOP gems they're hiding in there.
>>82516626
What'd you get, brother?
>>82516428
the $1 bin singles are buy 5 get 5 so I'm going to end up with a ton of floppies
Mark Bagley is doing a signing, not sure if I'll go
>>82516686
tons of comic expo swag. The weeaboo shit is from a mystery grab bag thing, no idea what any of it is
>>82508892
Hey I just picked up 7S too!
>>82509034
It's fantastic. Probably my favourite Morrison DCU work
>>82509280
Man, I'd love that Tintin box set if only they were at full BD size
>>82510695
I haven't read Starlight but the rest are great.
>inb4 vertical stacking
only for paperbacks. Seriously running out of space.
The gap between DC 1mil and Invisibles is for Gotham Central omni
>>82520122
>two copies of WW: E1
>>82520245
first one got lost in mail
they sent a replacement copy
first one arrived after the second
I used to have my stuff on a shelf but it got on my nerves that all the books are different sizes and some of them didn't even fit the shelf so I just said fuck it and put them all in the closet so that I wouldn't need to look at them.

>>82520122
Paperbacks can still get ruined like that, I had a stack of novels where there spines ended up warped, they weren't even heavy like a lot of comic paperbacks tend to be.
All-Star Superman and Top Ten Absolutes lurking in the back.
>>82520374
>I have superior tastes but god forbid I post my own shelf and be judged.
>>82523500
he probably just reads comics on his e-reader because he isn't a pleb and all that superiority nonsense.
https://groupees.com/independents
Is this worth it?
>>82523850
Oh, I didn't realize that the Boys was the digital omnibus version. That alone seems worth it.
>>82509303
Blacksad is great and I'm no furry. You should check it out.
Only picked up Imperium #15 and The Walking Dead #154, no trades lately, though I am in a Charles Burns mood all of a sudden. Might pick up his trilogy he did sometime soon.
Also can anyone with the recent Walking Dead issue check to see if the preview for Jupiter's Legacy 2 is not upside down? I think mine might have a printing error since the preview is basically in reverse and upside down.
>>82510695
>>82512468
Disagree, Starlight is a fun little story, probably my favorite thing Millar has done. Agree that you should get more prophet.
>>82516381
Not that anon but get both.
>JSA Omnibus 1 by Geoff Johns & James Robinson
>JSA Omnibus 2 by Geoff Johns
>Orion Omnibus by Walter Simonson
>Suicide Squad: Rogues by John Ostrander

>The Incredible Hercules: Against the World by Greg Pak

This was a big month, thanks primarily to several older orders coming in at once.
>>82524968
it's my favorite because it's the only one where he doesn't try to fuck it up with edgey. superior would have been but then the monkey did a nazi salute and heil'd satan. pissed me off

>>82530009
How're those Mickey Mouse comics?
>>82530017
>>82530009
Literally the only good shelf in this thread.
>>82530092
They're neat. It's really cool to see this older stuff where Mickey actually had a personality and was an adventurer. Gottfredson is also one hell of an artist. Some of his action really floors me.
It is kind of boring though. I could never get the hang of reading adventure comic strip serials.
>>82530124
I don't really agree.

How is that silent hill omnibus?
>>82530172
>I could never get the hang of reading adventure comic strip serials
I understand. I want to get into some classic strips because they're an important part of comics history and because people like Alex Raymond and Al Williamson were incredible artists. But they were never meant to be read through in collections
>>82532966
I am curious as well.
>>82531803
where's Fourth World 3?
>>82533854
I was reading it before I took the picture

I also appreciate the worn books. A sign of love in my mind. And the Bukowski book peeking through.
>>82534519
Thanks bro
>>82509034
Seven Soldiers is amazing. You should definitely read it.
Recently ordered:
>Astro City vol. 8
>Batman and Robin vol. 3
>Batman Elseworlds(new printing)
>Suicide Squad vol. 3(Ostrander)
>Infinity Gauntlet
>>82532810
You should check out Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. I think you would dig it.
>>82516753
It's not just me, right? There is a c*^& and balls on the cover of Le Bandard Fou.
>>82527300
Right on.
>>82528324
This reminds me: Has anyone had cheapgraphicnovels.com take a long time to deliver an order?
>>82537856
Is it me or does Barnes and Noble only carry Lucifer book 1
>>82537784
It's psychedelic sci-fi about a guy who gets massive uncontrollable boners, so no it's probably not just you
>>82540407
Lol! Dayum.
So, I went ahead and got that bundle I linked earlier, didn't come with the The Boys Digital Omnibus 1, but it was still a really good deal. Is Devolution good? I like Remender's stuff in general.
>>82514275
where is this from?
>>82537425
Thank you! I'll be sure to keep that in mind!

Envious of some of this stuff, but I do have the Moore Swamp Thing run in hc to make me feel better.

They are the Criterion Collection of comics, with the attendant sickening cult.
>>82544371
and...?
They are convenient collections.
>>82544371
can't really shit-talk them when they print the only English translation of El Eternauta
>>82531828
those doom masks are pretty cool
>>82533854

>>82546021
everything BUT 3 is OOP
educate yourself
Just found Astro City: Through Open Doors, volume 9 in my local Oxfam shrink wrapped for £2, what a nice bargain.
I've only read the very first volume of Astro City but is it was a good way to get into the newer stuff or should I just get all the previous volumes?
>>82516753
The black triangle with eyes is an Evangelion logo, while the red mask is from the Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke. That's pretty good, although I have no idea about the rest of it.
>>82548022
There's not really any sort of sequence outside of the Dark Age books, but it's great and worth reading
>>82532810
Have you actually read War & Peace or did you just buy it because that edition looks really nice?
>>82550138
Has anyone actually read War and Peace?
>>82550940
I did, it took me three weeks nearly because I was busy with exams. It's easy once you get used to the French bits.
Now the real question is has anyone read Finnegan's Wake at all?
>>82548022
Anything you recommend immediately picking up from the Astro City line? I plan on getting just about everything but what should I get next?
>>82550985
>Now the real question is has anyone read Finnegan's Wake at all?
A pasta actually surfaced about this just a few days ago on /lit/.
It turns out /co/ has an absolutely fucking retarded character limit, so here's a screencap.
>>82551090
So is Finnegan's Wake like the King in Yellow?
>>82551090
>"What did I get from the Wake, what are its lessons? First of all, be yourself"
>"just do it for crying out loud, time's a wastin'!"
only /lit/ could produce such a pasta
>>82544371
there's nothing wrong with criterion unless you think there's something wrong with releasing classic films in better formats, fantagraphics also puts out newer stuff too. if your only problem is the "sickening cult" then that's your problem for caring about people you won't even run into that often.

Oh I know about the t-shirts, I specifically bought those. I mean the DVD and the other shit.
How's Moon Knight shaping up to be? Really enjoyed the first issue but I'm going to save the rest for trade waiting. Any better than the third arc of the last run?
Is Man of Steel by John Byrne any good?
Latest pick ups, as well as Green Lantern Geoff Johns omnibus 3
>>82552468
Yes, that whole era of Superman comics by him, Marv Wolfman, and Jerry Ordway are great
>>82545093
All 12 copies of it.
Is Blood Shot decent? I wasn't thorghouly impressed with the Harbinger Wars tie in issue I had when I was pulling Harbinger on my list.
>>82544371
> they put out high quality versions of great things
I don't understand the complaint
>>82552468
>>82553725
I really don't like Byrne's art though
Picked these up today at my shop during FCBD.
Real excited to read the Gotham Central omni.
>>82554734
What does the Gotham Central spine look like?
We don't get FCBD down where I'm at, but I did go to a comic book fair and got all of this. Really, really surprised by the Helltrekkers TPB. That's a Dredd spinoff that never even had a proper UK TPB, and it got one down here on account of the artist being a countryman. Really cool.
This is a tg/co crossover post but i don't want to snap more pictures.
Also got a big load of comics coming the mail so i am a happy consumer.
>>82554857
Here is a picture of it opened up.
I've purchased today The Sandman 6,7,8 and Death, it's my favourite comic actually
>>82554991
>>82554991
I think Free Comic Book Day in the UK is pretty poor compared to the likes of US or Canada, my local doesn't really do anything at all that spectacular except for a bunch of sales on floppies I think, I could've went in today but there wasn't much I wanted and if any FCBD related items to my pull list are there they usually reserve them for me. I think we've had a few artists come down previously but none I can remember at the moment.
Sale on old floppies, almost have all of Giffen/DeMatteis JL
>>82554734
>>82555179
Does it have a dustcover or is it printed on?
>>82555456
It has a dust cover. I just took it off for the pic.

Fuck I want that.
>>82555711
I read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on A Serious Earth last night, and I finished up the first Power Man and Iron Fist epic collection this morning. I'll be reading Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol for the rest of the weekend.
Incoming poorfag shit. Don't have kids if you want all the expensive editions.
>>82540664
SHUT THE FUCK UP BARRETT YOU DELUSIONAL NAME FAG
>>82555711
I'm working on reading IDW's TMNT and some The Wicked + The Divine
>>82556043
what is that all white DC book with the CMYK logo and "The Deluxe Edition"" under it. The one right next to Ronin.
>>82556258
Solo
>>82556258
It's the Solo: The Deluxe Edition.
>>82556335
>>82556340
I just googled it, why was this shit cancelled?
>>82556388
Nobody cared about it, it also featured a ton of expensive talent so it needed to generate a ton of money which it failed miserably at, even today it would bomb if people like Corben, McCarthy, Chaykin etc. did their own things and not just DC stories.
>>82554414
Bloodshot 1-13 were great. Didn't read much of Bloodshot and the Hard Corps (really only the Archer and Armstrong crossover issues), but what I read wasn't bad. Bloodshot Reborn is consistantly one of my favorite comics each month, but you should read The Valiant first.
>>82556640
comic fans are the worst
Bought this, what am I in for? Was it even worth the buy?
>>82555711
Django Unchained. And I'll have no idea what to read next thanks to the trade sale at Royal. 16 books, 120 bucks and a need fora third fucking pile now. I think I need to seek help.
And food. Damn I'm hungry.
>>82557085
Fun Wally stories that're playing with the limits of his powers. Only downside is the Black Flash arc has bad art.
