I'm reading New Frontier again for obvious reasons.... =(

nothing new but I can't wait for june and the first or two collected tpb's for 52

here's my shelf which hasnt changed in a while, bunch of new floppys though. Still need to read The Fix #2 from Wednesday.

>>82742193
>prequel tin

>>82742969

kek, didnt even see that.. I'm not sure i would be able to part with something that ridiculous though myself.

I still have my Blockbuster membership card, hah

How do you guys organize your shelves?
Mine is:
Company -> Series by alphabet -> books by vol ->odd things here and there

>>82742193

So you like Batman?

>>82743069
By author

I just picked up the new 52 omnibus, new 52 zero omnibus and new 52 villans omnibus from the post office yesterday

Also Superman and detective comics 50

Hamilton books has Absolute Final Crisis, Sinestro Corps War and Identity Crisis on sale for 30 bucks each

I picked up FC yesterday

>>82743678
why would you buy those, serious question

>>82743678

If this is bait it better be a nice fat sardine.

>>82743773
Because Superman and detective comics were the only thing at the newsagency and we don't have a comic store.

>>82744129
I laughed, 8/10

>>82744129
Serious answer I went to buy just the new 52 omnibus but the store suggested I buy those 2 with it and I thought why not I was already paying a bunch for the overseas postage

>>82744184
You're not even getting a complete story, just samplers. I'm sorry man, but you really should have just passed for something that was written by one author with creative control, instead of something editorially mandated...

>>82743069
More or less I prioritize it kind of generally:

Type of book (mostly by height)
Publisher or universe (depends on amount which gets valued)
Series title
Publication order

>>82743069
Alphabetically by publisher, then alphabetically by continuity/character.

>>82744614
Also organized in chronological order of original release inside each continuity.

>>82742193
I respect this shelf. This is the shelf of someone who's been at this a while.

>>82744551
>>Bought the entire countdown run for $40, regardless of how much it sucks

You overpayed by at least 20 bucks, and that's if you like the idea of Jimmy Olsen fucking a bug lady.

>>82744551

I know that feel, a local store here had them bundled in 13's so 4 total and wanted like 40 bucks for each one.

I'm not sure if they expect aggressive haggling but fuck all that shit.

I just organized a ton of my floppies. 5 magazine holders full. Got em separated into ongoings and collections and then by company and time period. A good 1/4 is just random single issues.

>>82744713
I'd be lying if I said I wasnt interested

>>82744850

Get a short box, theyre like....4 dollars.

>>82742921
How is the Doom that came to Gotham? Is it good ?7

>>82744842
I told the guy the tp all together were not even $100 he didnt like that. I understand they're running a business but $200 for 6+ year old comics is insane.

>>82744850

Does /co/ prefer long/short boxes or magazine holders? I'm starting to prefer holders since I find that if I leave them too long in the long boxes then they end up getting dented or stress marks on the spine somehow which really pisses me off.

>>82745130
>season 3 of Arrow

>>82745298
It'll make more sense when I get Supergirl s1, LoT s1, Flash s2, and Arrow s4 up there to the right of it.

>>82745240
I got it for $2 in a clearance sale~

>>82745246

Long boxes are a pain in the ass because you basically need two people to move them, theres nothing wrong with magazine holders but theyre usually a couple bucks a piece and you can fit way more issues in a shorty and its easy to sort through and move around as need be.

>>82744112
My Faith In Frankie was pretty cool, great buy.

Tomboy is nice and I really want Mia Goodwin to be successful.

Enigma is godtier.

>>82745514
I'm in a magical girls and purple mood
I had My Faith in Frankie but I thought it was a b&w comic, surprised by the color, like it a lot

Goodwin came out of nowhere, but this book is a beast

>>82745335
>Arrow s4

this is a cry for help

>>82746053
You'll also notice I have Iron Man 2 in my MCU collection. Why would I skip one?

>>82746083
it's not skipping if you just drop it and don't buy anymore.

>>82746110
I really like The Flash and the MCU in general.

>>82746125
do you like superior Vertigo shows?
what about Ghost World? Snowpiercer? History of Violence?

>>82746125
I wouldn't even buy Flash s2 at this point tbqh. It's not been rewatchable.

>>82746212
Constantine was great. Lucifer is also great even though it's not actually based on anything.
Ghost World and Snowpiercer were pretty good.

>>82746289
iZombie is best
Human Target season 1 was GOAT

>>82746392
Oh shit how could I forget. iZombie has probably been my favorite. I don't know what Human Target is though.

>>82746414
A mediocre "adaptation but not really adaptation" of a great comic book.

You read pic related? Not a comic, but if you are interested in art and lore, I highly recommend it.

Again, AoS is necessary for the complete set. It's not that bad either. Anyway thanks. We can both bow our heads as we pay our respects to the Netflix series that will never be on that shelf.

>>82747832
Yes and somewhat relevant, my group wants me to run a Zendikar based d&d campaign since that plane shift was released but I don't know if I should run it pre, during, or post eldrazi.

>>82747961
That's pretty cool. Good luck fa/tg/uy!

Anyone have any suggestions for selling floppies? I'm not looking to make a profit. I'd like to just break even. I've got about 3.5 short boxes. Some full runs on current stuff, some finished, some random stuff.

>>82748248
I always like taking them to Half Price Books where it only costs me around $6 for them to take my boxes.

>>82748424
Really? Just like a $6 loss on a box? That seems pretty reasonable.

That reminds me of this one time I checked out a collector's store for back issues:
>Walk in the door, store is loaded with sports and WWE memorabilia, other shitty collector's items.
>Oh fuck, it's one of THOSE places.
>Owner shows me to the back where the comics are.
>Poorly organized; smells funky; mostly unbagged floppies that are wrinkled from storage.
>15 or 20 minutes later, I just come out with some Hush floppies, just don't want to leave empty handed.
>Me, being stupid and new to comics, offer cover price for these books.
>Owner tells me he doesn't know what he wants for them, and that I should come back after he has a chance to check guide prices.
>Come back
>Guide prices
>Yeah, I'll come back! See ya.
I didn't go back.

>GotG omni
Goddamnit, right when i bought the fucking complete editions and annihilators.
Fuck my life im buying it anyway.

Is there a war of kings one coming? They might as well finish.
Fuckers should do a Complete nova too

Should I buy the 52 omnibus or wait for the new paperbacks. Im worried the paper backs will have shit binding.
I don't care about the price i just want it in a good physical form.

>>82752158
>Is there a war of kings one coming? They might as well finish.
yes

Got the Dark Tower omnibus from my LCS since it was on sale. I don't know how /co/ feels about tie-in shit, but it's a beautiful set. And I really like the idea of one volume being the issues and the other volume being lore. That's cool.

It's decent. Everyone seems to love Zdarsky's brand of humour but it's not my cup of tea. A far cry from the cynical cigar chomping Gerber vision, but not in a bad way.

Quinones' art is great though, a perfect suit for the book.

Guys, what sandman editions should i get if i've never read it before.
I was thinking the omnis just to have more omnis but i would probably prefer the slipcase set since they don't have deluxe editions out.

The first volume is the only good one, it has the iconic Bane story/scene and that's about the only fun part. You can make an argument for volume three just for the conclusion, but it wouldn't be a compelling one. Plus then you'd feel obligated to get volume two and that's just awful.

If you can lift a 4 foot longbox full of floppies and get it through a doorway easily you're a better man than I

When you collect an ongoing series are you comfortable with just reading the volume you bought until you buy the next one or do you wait until you have the complete set to start reading?

>>82762177
Depends on how late to the party I am. I like reading a whole arc at least, however many volumes that may be. If it's something I know I will like then I will wait till it's complete. It would be like watching my favorite movie 30 minutes at a time once every couple months.

Recently picked up these on a whim. Aside from a few volumes of Walking Dead I've never got comics before. I am loving this Paper Girls volume tho.

I'm a big animation guy and I noticed comics are basically just key shots of a storyboard and I love that so I think I'm gonna get more. Any entry level stuff you guys would recommend? Not much of a superhero guy btw so none of that please.

Well that makes sense now.

>>82764237
They're pretty insane, for sure. I guess I'm lucky there are only a few Marvel books I care about enough to buy because the prices make me cringe every time.

>>82762795
Yes, although they stopped after two trades and probably won't continue

>>82764646

How is Paper Girls? Been thinking about picking it up since it's so cheap on Amazon

>that one series you bought the first trade of and then got too bored with it to continue

FBP for me, what's yours?

I'm gonna order 3 omnis, but what should the third be?
I'm getting GotG, GLv3 and I want either 52 or Miller's DD. Which one is better

>>82765326
It's actually cheaper to buy the volumes of 52, and you get more back content

>>82765287
Hickman's FF

>>82765287
Invisibles. I normally love Morrison, but I just don't care for it. That said I'm glad I bought the first trade rather than diving into an omni or something.

The last two things I've bought are the Groupees Indie bundle and the Ennis Humble Bundle.

With Trades I've never seen the reason to wait but i do with most floppies i get, i'll wait for the end of an arc then read them all together, or in the case of a limited series just wait till its done.

for example i started reading the fade out as it was released but found that i kept having to read what happened in the previous issue to catch myself up because it had been a month or more, so i just kept picking them up but stopped reading each month

Cape stuff though ill read right away esp if its something that gets a storytime here because i like to see what others think and those threads only stick around a couple days.

Miller DD, 52 has a two volume collection the first of which comes out June 2nd, theyre cheaper, easier to read, and have the notes between each issue which are awesome

>>82767300
Interests come and go. I'll watch anything if enough people claim it's good. I'm mostly into stuff with a good cast of characters that feel real.
I'm looking at getting the first volumes of Saga, Pretty Deadly, and Y: The Last Man when I finish up The Dresden Files. Those three looked promising and seem popular.

>>82767089

Don't bother with that. Trust me you will despise the ending

How do you guys organize your shelfs?

I alphabitize the publishers, then alphabetize the titles. For crossovers I put them in between (Like Dredd/Batman)

>>82768363
got a link for research purposes?

>>82768847
It was a limited time thing, if I recall correctly. You can probably find it on eBay.

Marvel Zomnibus yes or no

>>82769056
No. You're only getting about 3~ stories worth reading.

>>82769087
first part and robot man i guess?
i want everything tho

>>82767911
What's good about Love and Rockets? The art looks pretty meh so is the story and characters good?

>>82769263
Which art? Both brothers art style's have changed considerably over the last 30 years, which is also why it's so good since you follow the same characters as they start as teens or little kids and see them change over time.

>>82767767

many people dont like Y:The Last Man

if you like a good cast that feels real and don't mind noir stuff you should check out some of Brubaker and Sean Philips' books, Criminal, Fatale, The Fade Out, Sleeper, etc.

other suggestions would be Black Science, Gotham Central, Hellblazer, BPRD (even though the last two involve supernatural stuff)

>>82780125
It's basically a fleshed out concept art book. It feels like it's setting up for a lot more. The pacing is the biggest issue with it, it is 400 pages and that still doesn't feel like enough for what Cooke could have done because he spends a lot of time jumping around. It would have work better as a ongoing or a series of ongoing a similar to Multiversity or Seven Soldiers.

They'll just fit an Absolute, so even the bigger books like the Goon and Hellboy Lib. Eds will be ok. Also good for vinyl or figures

Depending on the configuration you get - 2x2, 4x1, 4x2, etc - they work well vertically as a regular bookcase or horizontally as a sideboard type thing - I'm cladding a white 4x2 in stained wood and building a htpc into one or two of the cubbies.

I uh got a manga today. Why does Japan pluralize Planets wrong "Planetes"

>>82798761
It's not japanese, it's greek.

Not that Anon, but these shelves seem pretty suitable for what I had in mind, I'd just be a bit worried they might not be strong enough to hold a load of OHCs/omnibi etc.

That would be my guess too. People have posted those with plenty of weight and they don't sag. I bought a regular size ikea billy and it was starting to sag so I replaced it with the smaller ones and they will hold anything. Only real issue I see with the kallax is that the books might get filled with an extra amount of dust.

they can be if they're used, and other than Marvel most thick tpb's have a better dollar to page ratio than almost any other version.

Well I guess as a fellow poorfag I gave bad advice, what do I know anyways, It's not like I can just buy whatever I want.

Does no one here like Waid DD? I haven't read any DD yet but that seems to be the one that won a bunch of awards but everyone here seems to hate it.

>>82812434
Waid used to be a /co/ darling and his Daredevil run was highly praised.

Lots of people turned on him for whatever reason.

I wish I knew if this before I bought the issues for 20$. I guess the glow in the dark issue is worth it.

>>82812434
The thing is that beginning is really good, but the drop in quality will give you vertigo it's so bad. Also it's quite different from other runs in terms of tone. I remember when it first started and people loved it but the opinion gradually sort of shifted. You'll still find people who like it, but even most of them are willing to admit that the finish is at the very least lackluster.

At least the turnabout of opinion is mostly based on the quality of the work rather than, say, the shift of opinion on Fraction's Hawkeye which mostly centered around the delays and Fraction making an ass out of himself on social media (though there's some debate over the quality of the Kate issues).

>>82812434
It was okay at first but when it lost steam it was straight up terrible

>>82812434
I enjoyed and would recommend it, but that stated my experience with Daredevil beyond Waid's run is limited to the two Miller omnis and Soule's ongoing run.

>>82812434
it got very repetetive
also he is a douche on twitter

What shops do you check out in Toronto?

>>82812146
Thanks! All on my list except WW and Lazarus. I'll check them out!

>>82810906
I picked up Thanos: Redemption for less than $15 last year because it had a remainder mark. I've picked up several oversized hardcovers for less than $20, some even less than $10 like like iHerc: Smash of the Titans. It all depends on where and when you look.

If you have a place you can get to easily, go there and go there often. Because they tend to cycle through materials very quickly. I've been able to find gems like Black Hole HC for $2 and The Book of Genesis by R. Crumb HC for $3, 2 copies of 300, etc.

It made my collecting much easier. Now I would love to drop my 5 long boxes down to 1 and maybe bind a few things one day. I think I have a complete Death's Head II run as well as a shitload of the minis. I think I'd just need to rebuy issue 1 of Mys-TECH Wars and a few of the tie-ins.

>>82811436
What is Mind MGMT? I'd like to check it out one day, but I lost all the scans a while ago.

>>82811479
I thought this was a magical stack of books for a few seconds.

>>82812956
>What is Mind MGMT?
It's Matt Kindt. That should be enough for you.

>>82813187
I've only read 1 or 2 Matt Kindt releases. I think them spy books. I need a bit more than that.

>>82812813
Usually I go to Rednails or One Million Comix for floppies and BMV for trades
