I'm turning in my coins and change today and going to get my truck an oil change, depending on how much cash I have left over after lunch I'm going to pick up Superior Ironman vol 2 from my lcs and make see about putting that copy of Mad Love on hold.

Bump

Thinking of buying Ostrander's Spectre run in floppies (since DC gave up on collecting the series in trades). What would be a fair price for a used lot?

Only started "collecting" comics like 2 years ago.

My lowly collection is made of
> Punisher MAX Vol 1 and 2
> Punisher B/W, Border Crossing, and Last Days (which I was pretty disappointed with, had to look it up on Wikipedia to figure out what the fuck was happening at the end)
> Watchmen
> Wanted
> Max Payne 3
> Frank Miller's RoboCop
> Batman Arkham Unhinged Vol 1

Right now I'm waiting on Punisher MAX vol 3 and 4, and The Boys Omnibus Vol 1 to be reprinted in January.

Got these in the mail today. Mowgli's Mirror is way bigger than I expected. It doesn't fit in my mini comics box. Godzilla in Hell was interesting. I really liked Stokoe, Eggleton, and Wachter's stories. The lettering in Eggleton's clashed badly with the painted art though. It should have been hand-lettered. Wachter's was my favorite by far. I need to look into him. I love his art.

might be controversial but i got both stokoe's godzilla and orc whatever and hated them

I've mostly just picked up my monthly pulls lately and haven't gotten any new trades outside of manga. I did get My Hero Academia v1 and One Piece v77 last week and plan to grab the next JoJo's Bizarre Adventure hardcover when it comes out at the start of next month.

I finally read Rohan At The Louvre last night and really enjoyed it, though I'm a little confused on the ending. Also have a 10-inch Rohan statue/figure coming.

>>82112546

I haven't read Half Century War or Orc Stain. His issue Godzilla in Hell is actually the first thing I've read by him.

I'm a little over a third of the way through it. It definitely deserves to be on the same shelf a Alec/Bacchus and Love & Rockets. It's....Transmetropolitan via Cerebus? If you're looking for a concrete narrative, steer clear. If you want navel gazing, psychedelic wilderness-punk, then I highly recommend it.

>>82120528
That Suicide Squad trade looks like it's bigger than the last two.

>>82120434
I was really looking forward to more Gladstones. Looks like New Brighton Archeological Society made it's way to a book 2 through Kickstarter. Might pick that up.

>>82120796
Man, I really enjoyed Gladstones! I would have loved to have seen that fleshed out more.

>>82120587

has about the same number of issues, around 10. The paper is back to more classic, newsprinty paper and not glossy stuff that might make it bigger?

>>82120873
Okay, yeah that will make it thicker.

>>82120841
Looks like he used Kickstarter to reprint it as a HC. If that works out well hopefully book 2 will finally come to fruition. That book was real good and ended on a hell of a cliffhanger. I really want a continuation to that story.

I'm not worried about that. I'm more in it for the art which looks pretty good. I'll put it on the list.
I haven't read White Lama yet, but I loved Jodo & Bess together on Son of the Gun. As for Showa, I've only read the first volume so far, but I love Mizuki's other historical comics. WWII era Japan is interesting to learn about.

Newish stuff. Got the bootleg Truth Zone today and it's bootleg as hell. It's a big stack of pages in a folder.

What are some good stand alone Dredd stories? I read the first volume of the complete collection, but I don't really want to buy all the volumes. I've read America which was great, and I see that they're releasing Cursed Earth sometime this year which I hear is a great event.

If you want the entire series without it taking up half a shelf of space it's good. As a kid I had the whole thing in individual hardcovers though, it feels weird having them shrunk down so small.

He illustrated the novel for Totoro and it's gorgeous. We got it to read to the kids as a bedtime story, but lengthy chapters and toddlers with short attention spans don't mix well. We're going to try again when they're a little older.

Huh. Still, it's a nice collection. I've only got the regular v1-3, 6, Saga v1, a signed copy of Yokai, and Space Usagi

>>82123051
>>82123229

From the brief research I did the main complaints are: smaller size (which takes away from the art in some of the larger spreads, those large volumes are really a spectacle if you can get them) and the omission of Congo and Alph-Art.

The main reason I passed on it was omitting Congo and Alph-Art. I can understand why those would be left out, but I think Congo is an important look at how historically Africa was viewed in popular culture and the racist elements need to be seen, studied, and remembered, not swept under the rug as if we never held those ideas in the first place. Also, why would you buy a box set that isn't the complete series? Then I'd have two random volumes that don't match the box set, and they'd be out of order on my shelf cause they won't fit in the box!

>>82124481
Not sure if you're looking at the right box set then, mine has Soviets, Congo, and Alph-Art in it. The one I have is called Tintin The Complete Collection published by Egmont.

The size is my biggest complaint but when they say complete it's complete.

>>82103821

So, the Providence HC is limited edition?

Providence Act 1 Hard Cover edition that contains Providence issues #1-4, and all the back matter, which is limited to 6,666 copies.

Don't miss your chance to enjoy the first piece of a true horror masterpiece and enter the creeping world of Providence.

Mowgli's Mirror is legitimately one of the most beautiful comix I've EVER read, and certainly the best pantomime comic. A mini-masterpiece.
It IS a big motherfucker though (which is cool), it doesn't even fit in my magazine-sized longbox!
I dig Mizuki, too.

This is the last thing I got. Bought EOTMC comics back when she started self-pubbing them, also just finished Bright-Eyed At Midnight which was very, very good indeed.

>>82121828

>>82132169
I thought it was great as well. I really dug the symmetry of many of the pages, especially that two page spread where he did like an Rorschach ink blot thing. The color palette was fabulous too. Schrauwen always impresses me.

>>82132455
volume 1 I bought Used- Good, and volume 2 I bought Used- Like New.

Volume 1 is untouched on the inside, it's just the dust jacket that's banged up a bit.

I splurged on volume 2 because I mostly wanted SS for the Mister Miracle segment.

>tfw Fourth World omnibi still OOP

They better reprint that shit around the time the Justice League movies come out.

>>82133026
vol 3 is still available. Better snatch it up now.

>>82132522
Yeah that strict grid was dope, and I love those charcoal(?) looking full page spread breaks...And like you said the palette is GORGEOUS...I didn't like Schrauwen at first when I read him in Mome but he grew on me and by the "guy in the whelchair lives in fantasy world" story I was HOOKED! One of the best of his generation, undoubtedly.

>>82133070
I'll just wait for another reprint, because I just know that if I go and buy that volume now, they'll end up changing the covers/spines for the next reprints and that one volume would stand out on my shelf and trigger me every time I saw it.

I do appreciate the heads up though, Anon.

>>82134557

Unless theyre literally falling apart I don't see why you'd do that, books are meant to be read, which over time will worsen their condition, but it shows that you like them and they've served their purpose.

I've never understood peoples need to replace things just because they don't look brand new anymore, stuff ages too.

Just understand that you comics don't actually hold any resale value, just your own personal value, if they are worn a bit that just means that you read them often, and that's not wrong at all. A worn book has character.

You know what, I totally forgot he did Superboy. That was a really fun run. He was setting up a real good take on classic Clark Superboy stuff for Conner.

And I never read his Animal Man. I sort of wanted to, as it and Swamp Thing were sort of the big finale/actually the point of Brightest Day. But I never read either the respective Morrison or Moore runs, and I feel I should at least do that first.

>>82144532

>don't bother, unless you want to be bored to death.

Hmm. Well that kind of sucks. Seems it could be interesting. Something different, you know?

>>82144544
lemire's run has nothing to do its morrison's, everything from it is a continuation of sorts of what delano added to the AM mythos

>>82144532
I have no idea who Eddie Campbell is, and I'm not sure I've ever heard of these works before.

>>82144544

Both the new52 runs on those fill you in on stuff which i guess might spoil some things but in my case it was the basic rundown on both characters that i knew already anyways, both the moore and morrison runs respectively, are way different and stand up on their own anyways.

just my 2 cents

>>82144576
brah, that Essex County hardcover came out forever ago...

>>82144585

Still, I never read ANYTHING. I like going in order, and I did mean to check out those early runs... sometime. I'm the kind of jackass that ends up reading Fantastic Four to get Warlock to get Avengers vs Thanos to get Starlin's Warlock to get..... etc until Annihilation or something.


What did Delano add? Meaning a different volume, a mini around 52 or such?

>>82144665
>brah, that Essex County hardcover came out forever ago...

Yeah, I actually think my paperback has these new short stories and I was a bit confused, because this kind of shit is just my luck.

Yeah, I was mostly going for it because it was Zdarsky, but more I read about it doesn't sound like something I'd want to pick up blind.

Is The Maxx Maxximized worth checking out?

>>82149320
It's probably the easiest way to get your hand on The Maxx. Pretty sure enough of the original collections are OOP and marked up to make them not worth it. The new colors are great, helps that Keith was personally overseeing it all

>>82148288

Have you read Black science? the first trade of that is also 10 bucks like Kaptara, Zdarsky is really fun but the book is weird and i dont think it'll make a second trade desu

Nothing much recently I spend a lot on two comic related purchases last month, and have decided to save up for an art piece or AF15. Got these for cheap reading material, "The children of the night tide "was a great read,and just some comic supplies.

>>82157598
X-Factor V1-5 (pretty much the entire OG X-Factor, IE the only X-Factor worth a damn)

Avengers V1-9 (Avengers #1-206, though I should note that V8 goes for big bucks)

Doctor Strange V1-4 (all of the Strange Tales stories, the Marvel Premiere stuff, and #1-56 of the ongoing)

Punisher V1-4 (Punisher's early appearances plus the original mini and #1-60 of his first ongoing)

X-Men V 1-11 (the entire Claremont run, including material that still has not been collected)

Defenders V1-6 (basically all but the last 16 issues of the 152 issue original series)

Spider-Man 1-11 (basically the first 248 issues, missing the three part Hobgoblin story that Roger Stern wrote as his swan song on the book)

Captain America (the ToS stories plus Cap #100-257, ending with the final Byrne/Stern issue).

Should note that there is some overlap issues with the Epics that make it hard to mix and match. Case in point, the last Cap trade has about 15 issues not in the Epic Cap trade that collects the Byrne/Stern run, while said Epic Trade has about ten issues that are not in the Epic Trade. Meanwhile there are two Defender softcovers (the upcoming Epic and the one-off New Defenders TPB) that have overlapping content from multiple volumes (the Epic will basically be V4 and 6-7 issues from V5 and New Defenders has the last 4-5 issues from V5 and 1/3rd of V6)

Similarly, Avengers #197-207 are not available in any color reprint format, as is Uncanny X-Men #177-188 and huge chunks of X-Factor and Punisher.

>>82144016
Can you post pics of the IDW artist edition of Hellboy?

>>82158196
The first Doctor Strange Essential goes for huge huge bucks and will probably continue to do so since given how it has material that will not be in the upcoming omnibus (pretty much all of the non-Ditko Strange Tales stories) and the next volume after the omnibus, being essentially the second Essential Volume as far as collecting the Marvel Premier stuff.

>>82157795
I liked Harbinger cause of the characters that aren't the main characters. Also, its more of a twist on the X-Men concept. The kids in it aren't the best people in the world (aside from Faith anyway) and the closest thing to a Xavier parallel is, while after a more peaceful world, willing to kill anyone that has a chance of getting in his way. Hell, he killed Peter's junkie friend for no other reason other than he wasn't important to his goal. Also, I own more valiant that what's here, but most of that is digital.

Harbinger is awesome. That guy just has a shitty opinion since he added that unnecessary Landwhale comment.

Such an unfair reputation that character is getting as some sort of SJW representative considering she gets shit on for being fat constantly in the comic, both the new Harbinger and the old one from the early 90s.

>>82162103
I have heard her solo book isn't exactly the best. Although, I've also heard that this is basically because it has to compete with Valiant's other offerings and by default it happens to be the worst thing they're currently publishing.

Should I cop the Millar Wolverine omni or save the money to finish off some other series?

Somebody got the Flash by Morrison and Millar? How is it?

>>82163877
Overall, it is kinda underwhelming.
It's not the best flash story and it's not either writer's best work.

I ordered the first volume of the HB: Library editions and I'm gonna pick it up in the next few days. Will I be disappointed or blown away? What's in it? I just know it's massive and it's a hardcover.

>>82163990
>Will I be disappointed or blown away? What's in it?
Material-wise, it is one of the best constructed HC.
Art-wise you should be blown away.
Story-wise, I think the general consensus is that you need to read at least until the second volume for a more traditional "narrative". The first stories are a bunch of shorts. Still very enjoyable.

>>82164056
>Material-wise, it is one of the best constructed HC.

Just came back from a con and these were my findings

In total i've spent only 26€, but on my way home i suddenly realized the Kingdom Come book wasn't actually the complete story, but the 2nd part of a 2-parts edition (that fucking "2" after the title is sooo tiny), so now i pretty much have to buy the first part too online sooner or later

I feel so stupid, i thought i was getting a particularly good deal (considering the hardcover) and instead by the end i'll have paid 25€ for the complete thing, a pretty standard price. Oh well, personally i guess the art alone is worth it

For years I was waiting for the Fantagraphics stuff to be affordable. And now with the two book set Dark Horse has and the Saga volumes, I'm about all set.

Okay yeah. If he finished 31, which seems to be coming out in issues now. Volume 8 can be 29031. Volume 9 can be Yokai and Senso, as well as Space Usagi. I think that works out.

Really enjoyed Tokyo Ghost, gonna look into getting the other issues.

Are the omnibuses also recolored? I've been on the fence between the omnibus and the absolute editions.

Opinions between the two?

>>82161515
The first five volumes collect all of Kirby's work and are worth it for that alone.

>>82175616
This. Bought it myself recently. Really surprised me.

Shelf 2/2
Recently finished a bunch of stuff from the library (the 5th Sandman absolute and some Mignolaverse spinoff stuff) so I'm working on my backlog currently. I'm reading Power Man and Iron Fist atm, and it's a lot of fun.

I've just done the math and to have all the Cosmic Marvel I want from the 70's until now I need 24 trades. Three of them out of print.

Fuck-a-duck.

>>82177283
24 is a lot but only 3/24 OOP aint bad

>>82177623

I already have large chunks too. This is to polish it all off.

The OOP stuff is Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire, and Nova volumes 4 and 6.

The idea is to have the early Thanos stuff, all of the Infinity era, Giffen/DnA era, and everything inbetween I can think of.

Nice. The Rohan I mentioned earlier is my first large-scale JoJo figure. Until now I've just picked up a handful of pic related over the past few months.

>>82163877
While I need to reread it, I recall that it wasn't very impressive. I only picked them up as a completionist and out of interest in the Black Flash.

>>82167377
Black Panther's the best looking figure out of the Civil War POP! line, in my opinion. Really looking forward to seeing him in the movie.

>>82180774

Shit son, you've come to the right anal retentive dumb fuck. Let's do this.

To complete the DnA/Giffen era you need:

Thanos Redemption. It collects the 12 issue series that was half Starlin, and then Giffen. The last six issues are actually part of the lead up to Annihilation, but never talked about as such.

Silent War if you want to know why the Inhumans fucked off to the moon.

Of course, Annihilators, and Annihilators Earthfall for DnA's last contributions to Cosmic.

The Rocket Raccoon and Groot collection for their Annihilators back ups, as well as their original material.

Do you want to go even further into 70's, 80's, and 90's stuff?

>>82181144

Is that all 12 issues, or just 7?

If it's 12, you did okay. If it's 7, you fucked up.

I would literally kill Grant Morrison for a YJ omni. It was my first big comic series.

>>82182076
bretty gud

>>82182076
I like all of them.

>>82181675
Sure. As you can see I had a small selection of earlier stuff as well.

I do have Thanos Redemption and the Infinity Gauntlet omni on my to read pile.

>>82182554

Oh nice. Well. Fucking copy paste this shit, because I'm probably going to spend slightly too much of my life typing it all out. First off, the Gauntlet omni collects all of the tie ins in the back, AFTER the main book. I'm going to be working on a reading list for myself, as I just got that beaut myself. If you want the reading list, let me know.

You can get the original Captain Marvel stuff in Masterworks. Only the first has come out in paperback.

Avengers vs. Thanos is where cosmic gets going. This trade is essentially the Life part of Life and Death of Captain Marvel expanded. Stop reading this once you hit the Warlock issues, and read the Logan's Run short, the Final Flower.

For Warlock: Either the two Masterworks in hardcover, or the first in paperback, and then Jim Starlin's Warlock. Annoyingly Starlin's Warlock is just the second Masterwork missing an issue which adds a bit to the Gauntlet stuff decades later.

The Death of Captain Marvel.

Nova Classic 1-3. Not nearly as Cosmic as you may want, but interesting to see where Rich came from.

Avengers: The Celestial Madonna. First half of Mantis' story, which would not be resumed until the 90's. Curiously, the character sort of bounced around from company to company. Sort of. It's fascinating in a way, look it up on Wikipedia.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Tomorrows Avengers 1-2. Collects all of their original stuff. The previous two small hardcovers, and the Korvac Saga, as well as other stuff.

Avengers: Legacy of Thanos. Nebula shows up.

Avengers: The Contest. Some Elder's of the Universe stuff.

Secret Wars: More Elder's of the Universe stuff. They like to make people fight. They're shitty people.

Guardians of the Galaxy by Valentino 1-3. First 30 issues of the ongoing.

Silver Surfer Rebirth of Thanos is totally collected in the Gauntlet omni, except for the Logan's Run short, which is in Avengers vs Thanos. The Gauntlet itself.

Infinity Gauntlet Aftermath.

>>82181964
Its all 12.

I got Flex Mentallo for 2.99 a few weeks back, I don't know what it is besides being Morrison
I see a few anons with it on their shelves though so I guess it must be alright

>>82182929
Thanks.

>Silver Surfer Rebirth of Thanos is totally collected in the Gauntlet omni, except for the Logan's Run short, which is in Avengers vs Thanos.
Well, I didn't know about that. Glad you let me know. I gave that book to a friend for Christmas along with Infinity Gauntlet after I got the omni.

A good portion of those are already on my amazon wishlist so we'll see what happens through Summer.

>>82182929

This is all off the top of my head. Some mistakes here and there.

Should have already listed the one volume of Quasar Classic to come out. After Secret Wars.

Also should have listed the Starlord trade of his original material.

Gauntelt Aftermath. Bunch of Infinity Watch issues, other related things.

Infinity War. Does that annoying thing where the ties in are in the back.

Infinity War Aftermath.

Infinity Crusade 1-2

Thor: Blood and Thunder. Thanos shows up. Some Infinity Watch and Warlock issues.

Warlock and the Infinity Watch volume 2. You don't have to bother with Volume 1. It's all in Gauntlet Aftermath, War, War Aftermath, and Crusade. The issues dealing with Blood and Thunder are not collected with anything cosmic.

Cosmic Powers. Sort of... dated. But Thanos and shit, written by Ron Marz.

Infinity Abyss. Back to Starlin.

Thor vs Thanos. Jurgans having Thor and Thanos fight. That kind of stuff.

Marvel: The End. Thanos wins! It's not meant to be canon at all. But Starlin snuck it in in the ongoing, and Brevoort has never admitted it.

Galactus the Devourer. Surfer. Mantis, and Galactus. it wraps up in a way where you may want the continuation, which is only in issues in Fantastic Four for now.

Avengers Celestial Quest. The other half of Mantis' story. Took a long time, right? 25 years.

Starlin just finished off a five act story that's the closest he can get to wrapping some things up, and an epilogue to Hickman's stuff.

>>82183234

I highly suggest the Avengers vs Thanos trade, either the Warlock Masterworks 2, or Starlin trade, and Death of Captain Marvel. That's the entire original era, and a great story. Legacy of Thanos is good too, and Starlin used Nebula later, so hey.

>>82183035

Good. It angered my shit when they had the balls to collect it as just seven the first time.

And I don't even like the story. I'm just anal about the right way to collect things.

>>82183250
Well.

Time to start collecting pennies from the street.

>>82183345

Uh, I forgot. After the Gauntlet should be Operation Galactic Storm 1 and 2. All out war between the Kree and Shi'ar. Kidn of 90s, but all out cosmic war.

>>82183330
As far as I know the early editions still had 10 jssues. They just added the intro pages and Last Rites to the new edition.

I could be wrong though. My copy has 10 issues but maybe the very early ones just had 7.

>>82183250
>Cosmic Powers. Sort of... dated. But Thanos and shit, written by Ron Marz.
Also featuring Genis-Vell.

>>82183154
It's very good. You should like it.

>>82182076
v gud

>>82183494

Good point. Didn't he originally show up in the Surfer ongoing before that?

And well, him in Cosmic Powers was Genis before he was Genis, right?

Nice books but Morrison and Johns DC stuff isnt the end all be all, take some time and spend your money on branching out.

>>82183676
if they weren't the "end all be all" they wouldn't constantly be getting omnibuses and absolutes, there's a reason for all of this

>>82183828
the reason is DC wants to make money dumbfuck

there are more creators than Johns and Morrison, comics is a medium not a genre

>>82183882
>comics is a medium not a genre

>>82183912
>there are more than just superhero comics
>WHY DO YOU HATE MUH BATMAN

I like superhero comics too but there are way more comics than just 2000s and 2010s DC

>>82183961
I'm a fan of the genre, not the medium. Film is the best medium.

>>82183556
He was a recurring character in Silver Surfer, yes. This was before PAD made him the lovable nut we all know. Hell, this was back before he called himself Captain Marvel. He was still "Legacy" at the time.

>>82184049
If you like Johns and Morrison then you like the medium, even as shallow as they may be

>>82184049
(Acknowledging my samefagging)

Even if you only like superhero comics, there are still way more than 2000s and 2010s DC

I just bought all of Welcome back Frank on CMX.

>>82184176
>2000s and 2010s DC
You will notice my 60's, 80's and 90's DC as well.

>>82181144
Assuming that trade includes Superman Beyond, that's a fucking steal.

Final Crisis trades normally go for $30 a pop.

I've always hated zombies, and I only gave the Walking Dead a shot because I like Kirkman's other works. I really enjoyed myself.

Just getting into comics lately.

These are the only ones I've ever bought myself.

What do you you guys think so far?

DC at its best is better or as good as than any Indie stuff.
It's like hollywood and foreign films.
Protip: The Departed is better than Infernal Affairs.

I'm only on page 20 something so it's too early to tell. But I think I like black and white comic better.

>>82184474
Wait, the Compendiums are in black/white? Huh, I guess it's a legit question between them and the Omnis now...

>>82184379
This is the most plebeian post I've ever.

The Departed is woefully uneven and lacks the sense of urgency that made Infernal Affairs great.

>>82184522
Walking Dead is a black and white comic

Did you even watch Infernal Affairs?
