These came in today. The Venom minicomics are pretty cool. I like Zacchilli's art. Very raw. It came with some stickers and a postcard as well. The Shaolin Cowboy book was crazy. I've never seen so much zombie dick and vag. Die Wergelder is another book that I cannot lend out to people.

So....after Church & State II, Sim is remastering Reads, because that one is out of print. Kinda bummed about that.

Bought the Thor omnibus from a second part on Amazon, I was happy that it was the Kirby variant cover and not the standard one

Haven't bought anything since around Christmas. I've got a list of books to pick up though.
1. Sandman Omnibus book 2
2. Absolute Death
3. Black Science Premiere HC
4. Complete Crepax
5. Sky Doll: Decade
6. Sky Doll: Spaceship

>>79026413
White Noise is fantastic, one of my favorite novels.

>>79024976
I wonder if Kodansha would be ballsy enough to put out Samura's BDSM art book if Die Wergelder does well enough.

I probably wouldn't buy it but it would be interesting to see the reaction of that art book being released in North America.

>>79027372
its the only one i'm interested in for the class
the rest of the reading list is fun home (one of those indie autobio comics about being a lesbian), twilight los angeles 1992, and the two to kill a mockingbird books. I consider myself to be pretty progressive but teacher is literally white guilt 40 year old sjw trying to entrench herself into black culture and it really shows in her reading list

>>79027631
They'd have to have balls the size of planets to publish that. I probably wouldn't buy it either. Samura's art is gorgeous, but I like my sadism with a side of plot like Bradherley's Coach next.

>>79030294
How many volumes are in the library edition? Thinking I might start to pick them up.

>>79030294
Why is your Absolue All Star Batman and Robin upside down? And I really respect your tastes. Plus, I want your I Kill Giants Titan Edition.

>>79029871
Oh, and what kind of shelving unit is that? I've got a lot of tall Deluxe Image comes and it looks like it could hold them. Is there a pre set shelf in it?

>>79031657
No idea, breh. Got it years ago. But you can move all the shelves to whatever height you want.

>>79031851
My shelves have one fixed shelf that can't be moved. And with how tall me Image deluxe comics are, I can't fit them on my shelves. I looked at the billy shelves but it would cost me $400 to ship to me.

I'm having a crisis /co/mrades.
Digital or physical.

I already have a shelf full of trades but some storylines I want to read aren't available in physical or cost an arm and a leg. also I like reading comics in bed while my gf is asleep but I have a lot of physical pride too and I'm worried what will happen if amazon/comixology goes under,
help!

>>79034269
Buy physical for the stuff you really love and feel like it deserves to take up space where you live. Otherwise digital

Help me out /co/, should I get the vol.1 hardcover of Mind MGMT or vol.1-2 of prophet?

Probably going to get
Hellboy Library Editions vol.1-3
Usagi Yojimbo Ominbus vol.1-2
Y The Last Man Deluxe vol.3-4
One Punch Man vol.3

I haven't bought any trades in while but just my monthly single issue pulls:

>>79037121
What's the paper quality like in those white Marvel NOW hardcovers? Is it super thin? Or thicker than single issues? How is the binding? Glued or sewn? I've never looked inside them, but am thinking of picking up Aaron's Thor Vol 1 and Fraction's Hawkeye Vol. 1.

>>79037129
How would you rate Lazarus as a series out of ten? How would you rate that hardcover edition. I love Rucka most of the time. I liked the first issue, but didn't keep up with it. Should I pick it up collected?

And can you sell me on Seeley's Revivial series? My interest is piqued, but am not sure if I should make the investment.

>>79036960
lel, I recognize that Empire Strikes Back figure box. I have the RotJ one and they're kinda shitty but that box is cool.

>>79038168
it's the same paper in the TPBs, I believe (so yes, thicker than singles) and it's sewn. At least that's what I remember on my Superior Spider-man HCs [which, admittedly, I don't ave with me right now]

>>79043132

what's the coloring on that? I'm worried all the old stuff got updated and will look bad

>>79043149
>>Noel
Disregard; don't know why I wrote that.

>>79043186
Actually I have Noel on order as well, no idea when it's supposed to arrive. Honestly I'm finding the series kind of meh, I don't have a colossal hardon for steampunk like some people do and the art feels very digital-webcomic tier. If the whole thing was in a bold monochromatic style like the covers are I'd probably love it.

But to answer your question I haven't so I can't really say

>>79043183
I think it's all going to be glossy pages and gaudy digitally updated colours I think, hopefully I'm wrong though.

>>79023561
Don't want to take a pic so:
- Gotham Central vol 3
- JLA Earth 2
- Batman Zero Year: Dark City

>>79037015
>All that glorious Hellblazer

>>79043260
You actually kind of did. Talbot has done work over a number of styles, and I was wondering whether this was less genre oriented than something like Luther Arkwright. His famous book is that one about getting molested as a child or something; as "artistic" as that may be, I don't really go for things like that. So thanks, I guess.

>>79043135
Shit. No Ikea in the state and $400 for shipping.

I say get it.

>>79044488
>As a newcomer with limited knowledge of past comic stuff, I love what I've seen from ANADU

That's understandable, you cant tell the difference between good comics and bad comics yet.

>>79044563
Yeah it's only $55 on IST, which just seems absurd.

>>79044488
I'm so sorry anon.
Honestly, it's on the better end of Slott's work, and I started with Spidey when I first tried getting into comics.
That was just before OMD, and it killed all interest in the hobby for a number of years.
Either way, Marvel is good for starting out, on the single fact that they use recap pages. DC's a bit uneasy to recommend for beginners, as Nu52 the concept of the Multiverse take some getting used to. Just avoid Bendis and Hopeless, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Not really, just start off with trades of volume 1 (especially new 52 stuff) or classic self-contained stories.

>>79043003
>Freaks' Squeele
I love and respect you as a fan and as a frog.

>>79045069
I'm a bit uneasy on Nu52, since it throws away years of stuff (or condenses it to the point it doesn't make sense with earlier books), and the quality varies so much.

I like the world built off the relative limited knowledge of it that I have (mainly from browsing here). Still haven't gotten my head wrapped around whatever the hell happened with Doc Oc

Vision is good. I'm going to get the next two issues today. Then hopefully into Ms. Marvel or SamCap

>>79045290
The past stuff only matters for GL and Batman. For everything else just rec the good arcs. It's not hard.

Anyone have opinions on Captain Canuck, either classic or current series?

>>79045324
Pick up the pre-Secret Wars trades of Ms. Marvel before you get the new issues.

>>79045324
Good decision. Spock is varied in quality, but good choice in what you're looking into. Ms. Marvel starts up before SW, so that's where you should head. There's a HC of the first 2 volumes out if interested. Also try Spencer's Ant-Man and Superior Foes of Spider-man (the latter is getting an Omnibus next month.)
Also recc Deadpool (Don't read Daniel Way. The Gerry Duggan run is how I got back into comics) and Superman: American Alien (ignore the shitposter, it's an interesting take on Superman mythos)

I hate linking BC here but I don't have the time atm to break down all the info in seperate posts

>>79044563
>>79044595

Think of how ridiculously annoying trying to read that thing is though... there might be a reason its so cheap.

>>79045647
Its not useful to us consumers because comic shops will just order it and sell at the regular rate

>>79043671
They're surprisingly sturdy and light too.

>>79030094

Why is Punisher Armory on the list? Isn't it just pictures of guns and Frank explaining why he likes them?

>>79045805
I've seen variations of it posted over the years, and it's always been more art focused than writing. There are other works on it that aren't all that special in the writing department.

>>79051401
What's the difference between this edition and the absolutes?

>>79051450
Absolutes are Bigger Omnibuses are Fatter

Is generally the distinction.

>>79051450
2 oversized omnibus volumes. Nice quality with little to no gutter loss. Haven't acutally read the Absolute versions but there are 5 volumes for almost the same price. They are taller but have fewer pages.

Absolutes are for if you really like the art in a book

Modern Omnibuses are typically for crazy people.

Is your lcs this based?

>>79063970
Nope. Mine had only 10% off during January.

If I'm interested in getting Morrison's Batman, are the Absolutes of the parts of his run worth picking up or should I just get the smaller softcovers?

>>79065427
It depends entirely on how much you like the art for those parts.

You should only ever get absolutes if you absolutely love the art in the book.

>>79065427
The absolutes if you can afford it.
They have redrawn pages and extra content that's really worth the cost.

And real sexual quality binding/pages

Currently hunting down all of Hulk visionaries Peter David. Volume 5 is white whaling me.

>>79066676
>>79066703
Thanks! I was wondering about the extras!

As for the art, I loved Quitely's on Batman & Robin, as well as Philip Tan's, even though everyone else seems to dislike his style. Flamingo was a favorite character of mine from the second B&R arc with Red Hood.

Then in Incorporated, Paquette had some impressive work.

>>79066676
This reminds me: when DC announced Absolute Preacher, I wondered why everyone on various baords said they were excited for that.

Preacher is my favorite Vertigo title ever and I truly appreciate Dillon's art, but getting this in Absolute format? Doesn't make sense to me. Especially since I agree with you about Absolutes and getting them for the art.

>>79066744
They need to get to the end of David's run on Hulk. I loved that year's worth especially. I want it collected.

Bought these in my last to Buenos Aires.

I've been wanting to get into Corto Maltes for years, and this collection seems perfect for it. I'll buy the others if I like it. There were like 10 numbers in the bookstore.

Also bought the second part of Perramus. The 1st one was very nice.

And Etchenike, which turned out to be a comic-version of an already existing detective novel, but I didn't enjoy it much.

>>79070515
simonson himself was very disappointed

>>79071751
That's mostly because the backup pages aren't in publication order though, right? Or was there another issue?

>>79071955
yeah, because it probably won't get reprinted in another form he was upset that they shoved them all in the back when they follow up on the issue they were in so people won't read as he intended it to be read

>>79071989
that's a shame, you'd figure they could at least fix it if there was another printing

>>79072075
didio said that they would fix it if it ever got a paperback but seeing as they can't even keep the jack kirby stuff in print I doubt that'll ever happen

>>79071417
I've been looking for an english version of Perramus for ages now to no avail.

>>79069902
So they're a affordable site for britbong anons too?

>>79073993
I imagine you might be better off with some local store if you're from britain, or even amazon. The pound/euro rates buttfuck me personally. With USD at least it's nearly 1:1. Anyway, this dutch site seems to solve my problems.

You americans don't appreciate how easy you got it.

>>79074548
oh anon i can go to 5 different comic book places near me or order online and get it in 2 days at almost half of what what they go for at LCS its great

>>79073993
Just use Speedyhen.

Going to the lcs today. so excited man I've been working 20 days straight no off time. I need to spend some money.

I found Dylan Dog 2-6 Dark Horse editions at a used bookstore today, they're in a very tiny format. Is it worth it or should I wait for the new ones that are apparently coming?

>>79067954
Thanks. What are you reading these days? Gotham By Midnight ended and now I'm sad

>>79067969
Smorgasbord is much higher quality but I started with the Omnivore editions so I know they are great also. Chew is my favorite series so I am dedicated. For me it was the fact that I would only need 3 Smorgasbord editions versus 6 omnivore editions.
>>79072727
I meant the quality of the book itself and not the story. Girls deluxe edition is one of the nicest books I have ever owned.

>>79075993
Everyone at the shop reads Insexcts. It's the only Aftershock book we have to reorder. Weird stuff.

I like to spread out my reading to a little of everything. Don't know if you're missing out if you don't try it!

>>79076091
Shield is a waaayyyy old character some people consider the original idea for Captain America. Guy wore a big ass shield on hours chest, kinda goofy.
New shield is the first girl shield appears invulnerable and immortal. Goes back to line 1776 with her. Seems interesting so far.

Black Hood is CRAZY.
Dark book about a cop gets his face blasted and gets on pills and starts beating up criminals on pills for pills.
Real sad violent guy. Used to be a hero on the police force.

Dreaming Eagles is a young guy who is almost pro black panther in his thinking, almost (1966 civil rights era) and wants to march with mlk.
His father appears to be one of the first African American ww2 fighter pilots and flashbacks to being in the war. Wants to protect his son and doesn't seem to agree with too aggressive civil rights movement (what he determines to be dangerous to his family)

Atomic Robo
BPRD v4
Fear Agent
Batman: Doom that came to gotham

that's beyond fucked up. i would have laid into that guy about how shitty his dying business must be to throw all customer service out the window in a desperate and angry attempt to coerce people into buying his merchandise. i'd ask for a refund too but i doubt it would happen.

this is just another example of why i have no sympathy for comic book shops going out of business. run correctly this never happens.

Looking good m8

Reading since 1992, collecting trades since 2002, give or take. Thanks for the props, it really is just a matter of slowly but surely buying each book, and before you know it they start looking like a library. Re-read Sandman last week and probably gonna crack open Stray Bullets tomorrow during the holiday.

Thank you senpai

Cannot overrate how much nicer books look in a bookcase. Enjoy Swampy, it's gonna get weird.

Also, looks like it was the only copy they had. It is no longer listed on the website.

I wouldn't have guessed if it wasn't for the box

>>79087028
I've been reading for the same time period as you. Collecting trades since 97 maybe. I own Sandman series in trades. Gonna have to re-read it like you. Jealous that you have. Finding the time is difficult.

>>79087298
That Contract with God trilogy looks nice and enjoyable. May have to look into that.

>>79087542
It's a really good book, physically and content-wise and it's pretty important historically for the medium, especially western comics. I'd say it's a must-have even though some bits of it are wooden with the primitive storytelling style.

Got these from my dad a couple weeks ago. He sent them to me from New Zealand. It's feels like a farm version of Garfield, but with the charm of Calvin & Hobbes.

Reading up on the series, there's 27 volumes, and he snagged the first 12 + volume 15. It's out of print and hard to find.

I've always wanted to post in one of these threads. This photo is actually from January last year, but little has changed besides the addition of a new Jason book and the size of the zine pile on top of my floppies. Apologies for the occasional cookbooks and art books.

>>79090489
Sleeveless hardcover is the most beautiful format

New stuff.

>>79087298
Geat stuff. Just to rehash, those Hellboy LEs are going out of print soon, so might be worth a splurge before they become impossible to buy at a reasonable price.

Speaking of going out of print, I saw this on BC:

Does anyone know any retailer that actually cuts the prices on these things?

>>79096696
Mmmaybe if Half Price Books gets their hands on these...

Over the holidays I saw a bunch of DC books for 50% off and higher. I think they went through the same warehouse emptying process Marvel seems to be going through.

Otherwise? I don't have any LCS in my area that would cut the costs.

>>79096696
I would imagine only big retailers that need the space would actually offer a discount to customers

And just got this.

X-O Manowar omnibus. Nice.

Only problem are the borders around the interior pages of story. Guess Valiant couldn't figure out how to expand the art well enough.
