I've gotten damaged books from instock before, they're not perfect.

OP here, I got mine on Amazon and no problems at all. Just tell them its damaged, they'll send you a new one and you can just send that one back within 30 days. Your mail man is just a dick. Mine did that a few times and I called Amazon and they called the USPS and bitched them out and I never had that problem again.

This is next for me. MMW Black Panther by Kirby and the second ASM omni after that.

TMNT paraody i'd imagine

>>85894871

That's the plan. I've had fine experiences with both Amazon and IST, but the Prime shipping and price did it for me this time.

>>85895156
Yeah I always get trades on Amazon, omnis on IST.

>>85894786
It's quicker and easier getting a return on IST.

>>85895299
No and no. Amazon will send you a copy as soon as you click that you want one and it'll be there in 2 days. You have 30 days to return it. IST makes you pay for the shipping, and takes 2 weeks. Maybe if you are a poorfag and don't have Prime so they don't care about you.

Anyone know where to get the remastered version of Reads? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

>>85894786
They actively try to prevent that though, amazon doesn't, that's the difference.

>>85895514
IST also takes an ungodly amount of time to ship your stuff though and I've gotten omnis covered in glue.

>>85895539
Hot glue?

>>85895496
Your best chance is to probably see if an LCS will special order a copy but you'll no doubt pay cover price.

>>85895299
Fuck no.
IST takes forever to ship.
Most bad interactions on amazon have gotten me same day refunds and shit. And exchanges are usually faster.

>>85895539
>>85895757
Depends. I've had orders from IST ship next day, some take a week to ship. I'll take their inconsistent shipping over Amazon though since they surround the books in a concrete bunker to avoid damage.

Bendis' self-insert Punisher is pretty dope, Wolverine is still dead, and the Starman hardcovers still haven't been reprinted.

>>85896006
Yeah, my IG Omni arrived damaged. That was the last time I ordered from Amazon. However, I only buy omnis these days.

>>85896808
I never buy from Amazon. If it's not on IST, CGN or DCBS I usually just don't bother.

>>85896889
Thats dumb, its like you don't like cheap things with free shipping. Im assuming you aren't from America.

>>85896986
>Amazon
>cheap

They rarely have the best discounts and their packaging/handling is garbage. IST is the best site to buy hardcovers.

>>85896986
Over 50$ is free shipping on IST. I never order less. I
Fuck, I even have Prime.

>>85897058
>>85896889
Wouldn't amazon only be bad if you buy directly from the store slots that say its from them? Because I thought everything else was individual sellers packaging their own specific ways.

>>85897058
>and their packaging/handling is garbage.

Maybe you just live in a shitty area. I've never had any problems in that department. But I've been transitioning to using IST because of the cheaper prices.

>>85897058
No. Its actually exactly the same price on trades if you have Prime cause IST charges for shipping. Omnis are only worth it on IST. Also you keep citing the "packaging handling" and I ask again do you not live in America? Cause my stuff always comes in boxes and is fine.

Here's some of my most recent buys, just finished 52 so it's time for Morrison's Batman. Hoping I like it, not exactly a Batman fan.

>>85895048
Or a parody on any of the shameless rip offs of TMNT

>>85897126
I live in Colorado. My IG omni came from Amazon in a box with tons of room around it and not a shred of packaging material.
I'm not giving out any second chances on shit like that.

>>85897126
IST gives free shipping on orders over $50 plus a 3%(or 2%, I forget) discount on your next order. And yes, I do live in America.

>>85897126
Prime isn't free, though- in most cases. I don't even know why I have it any more.

>>85897193
Well thats shitty mate but I think you are overreacting. Trades are fine from Amazon. I wouldn't buy omnis from them though too much. Like I said before though one of the omnis I bought from IST was fucking trashed, covered in glue and a ripped up back cover. These things happen.

>>85897241
What? I've never bought something on Amazon that wasn't free shipping on Prime and I buy stuff from them weekly. I don't know what kind of offbrand account you have.

>>85897223
>plus a 3%(or 2%, I forget)

2%, plus I think they stack it a few times if you order within a certain period.

>>85897125
Dude, this whole derail started because of this:
>>85894657

>>85897289
Prime shipping is free, but prime costs money.
Are you trolling?

>>85895014

I had no idea this existed.

How do I know that this stuff exists? Is there a site that lists what trades are being released each month? /co/ used to tell me but /co/ doesn't discuss comics anymore unless it's to whine about what creators say on twitter.

>>85897313
And as anon in the OP said he ordered it from Amazon and had no problems. It really just depends on how big of a dick your mail man is.

>>85897341
I mean, 6 month free if you are in college then $50 a year. I don't really consider that much considering Netflix charges me $10 a month.

>>85897354
Funnily enough I found out about it because of /co/.

>>85897262
It would only be over reacting if there was some benefit to buying from Amazon for me, but there is not. I rarely buy trades, and when I do I just wait until I see an omni I want and order them all at once.

>>85897381
I am no longer a student and I don't watch TV. At all.

>>85894754
>>85894786

I don't understand the appeal of Instocktrades. The frontpage always says "HOLY FUCK 80% OFF OF LITERALLY EVERYTHING" but trades are so retardedly overpriced you're still gonna pay at least $15 for everything on the site.

It's just plain more expensive than amazon or ebay.

>>85897357
Not if you order from IST
Checkmate atheist.

>>85897357
idk man, I got The Authority off Amazon and it came with a fucked up crimping on the cover

>>85897423
omnis are cheaper and show up there first.

Amazon and IST both have their advantages, now calm the fuck down you autists

What have you guys been reading lately?

>>85897423
Not that anon, but most trades I've seen on Amazon are about 15 bucks while they're usually 10 or less on IST. As long as you get 50 bucks worth at a time, I don't see the point in using Amazon first.

>>85897519
Why would I ever spend $50 bulk orders at a time? I like to spend $10-15 every two weeks unless its holidays.

>>85897129

Still grabbing stuff here and there, never had an urge to own physical stuff until about 6 months ago. Got Megahex and Amsterdam coming in the mail and Flight volume 7, they're on another shelf since they're just as heavy as the big omnibus though. Other half of this shelf has weebshit but whatever.

>>85897510

Nah, renting a room for only 500 a month, so I've got a shit ton of disposable income.

>>85897637
Or he's not poor. That's really not that much money.

>>85897581
Because hardcovers and omnis cost more than $10 like trades do. If all you're buying is trades then fine, but if you're looking for larger formats then IST is the way to go.

Did you get it second hand or something? If it's actually from amazon it would have been packaged well. If you contacted them they would have helped you and likely have exchanged and/or refunded you.

>>85897867
No, I bought it new, and I was stupid about the return, honestly. I get mad dumb sometimes.

>>85897585
Yeah man, it's my favorite Silver Age book. Been eyein em for a while and finally found a good deal on reddit. They're even still in the wrapping.

Eh, I'm not too torn up about, though yea looking at it it would've been nice to have the original series cover instead.

>>85897975
AMAZON anon.
Do you need a DNA sample?

>>85897867
Amazon does not package things well. Usually I get trades in a cardboard envelope thing with no protection. When the books come in boxes they just toss a couple of air bags in there.

>>85898037
The only reason I got it is my wife was watching for it and snatched it up for my birthday. They were gone in less than 24 hours, iirc.

>>85894891

lol, for serious I would probably frame that holo xmen just for the cover, its 90s xmen in all its glory.

and by frame i mean get a frame from walmart btw, not stuff that costs a ton

>>85898075
Nah, calm down I was just asking.
But yeah you really should have contacted them instead of just keeping it.
Even if you do get it from a different seller, a lot of them will bend over backwards to not get a bad review.

>>85898077
I wonder if the Free Shipping option factors into it. I usually go for free shipping, and the boxes tend to be very slim and tightly packed. The few times I've had to do regular shipping, the boxes were oversized with lots of padding.

>>85898151
I agree, but at the time it just seemed to me it would be a hassle and I kind of figured I'd just get shat on twice. I know that I was stupid/wrong, though.

>>85898215
I only use Prime shipping so I doubt it.

>>85897859

its a sci fi political drama tangentally involving a green lantern, don't get it thinking its a kyle rayner book.

and aside from like 2 issues the art is really damn decent.

I just got an Amazon gift card for $100, what should I buy? I wanna get Omega Men definitely.

I like the old newspaper quality print tho, it's better than the thin bullshit we get from DCs recent paperbacks.

>>85899092
God damn it, DC. Though I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since New Teen Titans uses that paper as well. Still, it's fucking stupid.

>>85899054
I've only seen people recommend the Wolfman run as far as older stuff goes but I haven't read it so I can't really say.

Animal Man omnibus is a good buy if you don't already have it (assuming you don't hate Morrison).

>>85899127
Yeah, you don't even have to send in your destroyed copy for 30 days so you can still read it while waiting on your new one. Call your post office too and tell them.

>>85899054
Wolfman's run is worth it. Might wanna pick up the New Teen Titans trades as well, since they're from the same writer and is where Deathstroke came from.

>>85899173

thats not the kind of thing you wanna buy if you havent read a bit of it already and its like all of their budget.

>>85898966
the michaels i work at smells like rotten eggs and cinnamon
seriously though if you can order frames online whenever theres a 65 percent off one regular price item deal definitely try to do that

How should I know? I don't even know what you read. I could recommend you a billion different comics. Doom Patrol. X-Statix. Enigma. Chew. Love and Rockets. The Frank Book. Battling Boy. The list goes on.

>>85899054

get Wolfman Deathstroke like everyones saying but another consideration would be Ostrander Suicide Squad, 3 tpbs have been released recently so theyre available...

>>85899173
>Hate Morrison
That kind of depends, though. I like his JLA (even if the best arc is recycled Kirby (rock of ages lifts tons of elements from the Super Powers Minis) and One Million is the perfect event, but most of his other work leaves me cold. Animal man especially.

>>85899054
Jamie delano's animal man run trades, there are i think just 3 volumes and go for really cheap prices , personally it's my favourite animal man era

Both Bone and Batman Year 100 are phenomenal.

>>85899523
Year 100 is the best Batman story IMO

>>85899574
So is Fall of the House of West.

>>85899190
Fuck, my ocd is telling me to buy the New Teen Titans trades first before the Deathstroke books cause I need to read shit in chronological order. I'm having this same problem with Wally West Flash books, I'm too afraid to tackle Geoff Johns run before Mark Waid's. They should've released The Flash books in chronological order instead of most popular writers.

>>85899574
I've already read Year 100, and yeah it's pretty great. Probably my favorite Batman Elseworld, when Pope gets to do his own thing it's always great. Makes me sad DC wouldn't let him do that Kamandi book he wanted.
Next thing I'm gonna be pre-ordering is that Wally Wood book Fantagraphics is putting out.

Does anybody know if No Man's Land is worth reading? Including all the lead up books and the Batgirl series that continues after?

>>85899718
>Makes me sad DC wouldn't let him do that Kamandi book he wanted.

You'd think with the push for more variety and tonal diversity lately, that they would finally let him do it.

>>85899662
I really liked the other Battling Boy books. Does Fall have more actual Battling Boy or is it just more Aurora?

>>85899725
No Man's Land is my favorite main line Batman story, it's great. Not only should you read it but also you should check out the audio drama version.

Just listen to the Main Range in order, they start off rocky but they get a lot better over time and some character/arc stuff builds throughout all audios

The Eighth Doctor Adventures is another great series set in a more nu-who style

The Companion Chronicles is a great more experimental range that plays with narration and storytelling with the older doctors

Just listen to all those ranges in order and switch between them whenever you get bored, there's tons of great stuff

Fuck no it won't. They through two plastic air pillows in an oversized box and expect that to support a 5 pound book. It won't, it never does, and they don't give a shit to do better. Fucked up my Usagi Yojimbo, but I did get a partial refund.

He's doing his own series and he's pretty successful, doubt they even rememberx

>>85899890
That's nice and when but are we getting more Battling Boy himself?
I want to see the conclusion to his story.

I bought the Omega Men trade last wednesday too. I decided to give it a shot because between The Vision and Batman, King has become my favourite writer. I thought the first issue was a little too vague and full of pottery but I gave it more and the story has become quite gripping.

>those miraclemans
god damnit I've been interested in buying them but each volume has 2 editions on amazon
now I see why

>>85904618
I dunno dude, considering they're doing that Khamandi challenge, and Pope still does work for them from time to time, you'd think someone would dig up the pages.

>>85899718
I just wish people would let DC know they'd like to see Pope's Kamandi or McCarthy's Creeper instead of shipostion on 4chan and forums about it. Especially today, it's really easy to communicate with publishers and if enough people voice it, then it might just happen, look at Omega Men.

>>85909449
I don't think enough people know about it. It's one thing to save a book that's about to be canceled, even though that only worked for one of the 12 issue minis, it's another thing to get people excited for a book that has been made yet.

>>85904426
>Absolute Promethea

>>85898872
One of the best things DC has published in years

>>85909604
>even though that only worked for one of the 12 issue minis
Because people only made noise for OM. I was also enjoying Gotham By Midnight and when it was announced as ending very plfew people seemed to care. If you're to look at OM, it didn't sell very well either but it's fans were passionate about it.

>>85908384
British ones have marvel logo on bottom. I haven't noticed it when bought it. But i like it. It has vetter paper comparising american edition

>>85909778
I loved Gotham By Midnight.

Finally new mythology involving the Spectre. Was really hoping this would go somewhere and last in the DC universe. Loved where it was going.

>>85909778
>>85909886
Also Martian Manhunter was fucking great.

Man DCYou really did have great books nobody read :(

>>85909906
I really enjoyed Starfire. Reminded me of the Power Girl days.

Was Dr. Fate any good?

>>85909886
It would be nice if Gotham By Midnight got the Deluxe treatment.

>>85910031
>Was Dr. Fate any good?

Very slow and very decompressed. Which is a shame, since the ingredients for an enjoyable book are there.

Just garbage on my end. I've been trolling eBay for Sonic comic lots and I just bought every Sonic Select and the first 15 Sonic Archives for a total of like, 30 bucks. I have no idea why I did that.

Though I'm tempted to start the Hellboy Library Edition before they all skyrocket in price and go out of print.

>>85910031
Great art but writing is lousy. First arc was 7 fucking issues long and most of it consisted of the main character questioning if everythibg's real or a hallucination. I read until #9 I think and he was still wondering if someone slipped something in his drink or what.

>>85910031
>Starfire
I forgot this was even a thing.
How many issues did it get? 6?

>>85910742
>>85910842
That sucks, hopefully he gets somethin good in Rebirth.

>>85910881
standard 12

>>85910715
Eh, it sold poorly and fan reception was not great. Very few people loved it, most overlooked it. To compare it to Dial H, that one was critically acclaimed and people were expressing their love for it everywhere

>>85910881
It got all twelve issues, but Luppachino stopped doing art for it around like issue eight.

>>85910888
He being...? If you're talking about Donny Lies I doubt he'll do any more comics for the big two in the bear future, that OGN he did was a massive success. I heard Inaki Miranda did a few fill ins recently and he said he's working on an upcoming ongoing set on Gotham.

If you're talking about Khalid he's not that interesting and Kent is back anyway.

>>85910986

>edgy

So is that what your generation calls anything that uses violence to make a point? Edgy is violence for the sake of violence.

>>85912922
Is it ripped? I just want to see the extra content before I decide whether or not I want to buy the trade since I already have floppies.

>>85912996
>Edgy is violence for the sake of violence.
edgy means pushing boundaries, whether through violence or sex or narrative
being edgy is neither inherently bad or good unless you do not like when stories go outside the established comfort zone or view that as something admirable with any context

>>85913074
>>85912845
Read the rating next time, kiddo.
Or better yet, ask your mom to read it for you.

>>85913074
That doesnt apply to Omega Men though cause it had context. Its a commentary on the Iraq war.

I recently bought Omega Men too. This is the first DC comic I buy, why is the paper quality so terrible?

I've only bought stuff from Image before and their paper is a whole lot better than this.

>>85913317
I disagree. I think the paper quality is fine. I own a lot of Image books and its exactly the same.

>>85913317
You are lucky, you haven't bought Marvel yet.
Their paper is wavy.

>>85913279
Edginess can have a point though. funny games for example was about how people view violence in tv and movies and is very edgy, same with straw dogs being about masculinity.

>>85913357
Well maybe it's he comic I'm buying, East of West. The pages seem thicker and they're not gloss. The cover is also better quality with EoW.

I'm on holiday but when I get back I've got the following to pick up and waiting for me.
Blue Beetle Rebirth +#1 & #2
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #1-3
Aqua Man #2-5
The Walking Dead #157-#158
Rumble #12

Also a signed Walking Dead #157 variant by Adlard.
Speaking of new DC, how is Blue Beetle going? One of the titles I was looking forward too since I've been curious in the character but never read. I'm enjoying the new Aqua Man run a hell of a lot due to reading scans online here before I go pick the issues up at home, is Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps shaping up to be good? One of the titles I am most looking forward too.

>>85913794
First BB issue wasn't very introductory. It was ok (mainly just established the status quo of Jaime having newly gotten his scarab and asking Ted for help with Ted over radio helping him in battle too) but I'm not sure how it would be for someone who hadn't read the 06 book.

With all these Golden Age and Silver Age omnis DC's releasing, we better get some Whiz Comics reprints. Best Golden Age superhero comic.

>>85914266
That and Plastic Man.

So after much debate I bought Omega Men, Flash by Morrison and Millar, and Geoff Johns Flash book 1. I also bought Action Comics HC Vol 8: Truth to round out my Superman hardcover collection. Also bought a couple of figures with the remaining cash on the gift card.

Nah, just delusional Halfags trying to prop it up. It's quite awful.

If you want quality Silver Age DC go with Doom Patrol, Flash and LOSH.

>>85922106
I really like it, and even though >>85922177 disagrees, I agree with his alternative choices. Except for Legion, which I haven't read yet.

As someone who knows only very basic info about Jamie BB it was a great issue for me, I love that Ted is in it as his mentor.

>>85914676
Just pick it up and if you like it you can get tpbs of the 06 series or scans and read the back story as well. The only reason to not just jump into a series you're interested in is if its a very character based series like.... a Hellblazer, Preacher, Mignolaverse, ....trying to think of more but I'm kinda stoned, lol.

tldr: just read the shit, first issue was good

>>85925026

Marvel is in the shit right now and "Spider-Gwen" is a reason why... avoid that shit anon, if you want to grab a decent current Marvel book go with The Vision, or The Ultimates.

Marvel right now is like a tire-fire everyones keeping a pretty good distance from, cuz...burning tires.

OP here. Just finished the 3rd issue and my god this is everything everyone said it would be. I've been supplementing my space fix with Black Science for months.

Is Omega Men really that good? And if so, do you need any previous knowledge of them? I only know Lobo debuted in the 80s in their book.

This got me thinking, /co/, should I start bagging my trades? I can't help but thinking one day I'll regret not doing it. Leaving them exposed to the air and dust and shit.

>>85933827
>should I start bagging my trades?
Yep

I was at my local book shop perusing comics and some elderly women asked me if the Captain America book they were looking at was the same as Captain Marvel, they said they were buying a gift for a 13 year old boy and he asked for Batman or Captain Marvel.

I explained that Captain America is a different character and that there weren't any Captain Marvel books on the shelves, they asked about the Batman books (Arkham Knight vol. 3 and New 52 vol. 8) and i said it's probably better to get a stand alone book instead of a story that's part way through and finishes in another volume.

They asked me what a good comic is and i highly recommended Watchmen, did i fuck up? Only on the way home did it hit me that it's a lot darker than i remembered at a glance, would you recommend it for a 13 year old?

>>85934453
>They asked me what a good comic is and i highly recommended Watchmen, did i fuck up
Probably. Its best to give new readers easier shit to digest before the Watchmen's of the medium

>>85941177
80s was ripe with space operas (publishers like First, Eclipse, Epic), partly because of Star Wars.
Shame that the new movie didn't do shit for the genre despite breaking BO records and shit.

>>85941641

Image is chock full of sci-fi shit right now, has been for a few years

>>85941704
I doubt it.
The films are just not good enough to inspire other people to create similar products.
Can you see any kids going, "Gee, when I grow up, I want to make a movie like JJ's Star Wars." It's just run of the mill sci-fi. TFA didn't have the "cultural" impact as the first one.

>>85912467
Its okay. But it really slows down after it gets uncancelled.

>>85941733
Ehhh not really. Outside of Manifest Destiny, Prophet and Black Science it's slim pickings.

>>85941870
Descender, Empty Zone, The Empty, Invisible Republic, Tokyo Ghost. Oh and fucking Saga. Off the top off my head.

>>85941870
Faster Than Light
Saga
ODY-C
Shutter
Descender
Horizon
Invisible Republic
Lake of Fire
Mechanism
There's also upcoming stuff like Eclipse, Fuse, that Greg Capullo one and the new Remender one
like half the stuff they release each month has a sci-fi element to it

>>85941970
I like Tokyo Ghost and don't know much about the others but Saga is pure trash. Also we were discussing space sci fi not run of the mill sci fi.

>>85942019
manifest destiny isn't space sci-fi though

>>85942019
Except for Empty Zone and Tokyo Ghost those are space sci-fi. And so are >>85941995
ODY-C and what's the one written by Becky Cloonan? that one too.

My "to buy" list is getting out of hand.

Currently looking at:
Sandman (nearly pulled the trigger on the slipcase set more than once but then talk myself in to waiting and grabbing the absolutes later)
Hellboy Library Editions (started on the normal trades and hate rebuying stuff, but they're so nice)
Morrison's New X-Men (bought the first trade and will grab the other two, they're just pretty steep as far as TPBs go)
New Teen Titans (the opposite of New X-Men, super cheap trades for how much you get in them, just loads of it. 2 down and I think there's another 3 or 4 out with more on the way)
Academy X (OOP, but I've snagged most for cheap, just a couple of volumes left to find)
Cass Batgirl (never read her solo book but like the character when she's cropped up in other stuff)
Walter Simmonson Thor (would be a blind buy, never read ANY Thor and heard it was a good place to start)
Black Orchid (sort of blind, but I love other Gaiman stuff so figured it's not a big gamble)
Post-Final Crisis Morrison Batman (I enjoyed what I've read so far, but wasn't blown away. May not have bothered if the idea of Dick and Damian partnered up didn't appeal so much)
Lee/Ditko Spider-Man omni (I passed on it at £40 and have been kicking myself since it hasn't been that low since)

Talk me out of some of these so I can afford to eat next month.

>>85934453
I read Watchmen when I was 14. He should be fine.

>>85941995
Most of those are literal whos. Can you tell me which ones are trash? I'm looking for high tier comics like Prophet, Black Science, and Omega Men. Wanna stay away from garbage like Saga.

>>85942506
I'll vouch for Descender, but it essentially Sweet Tooth ... IN SPACE!

>>85942506

Just picked these up today.

>>85942343

Hellboy Llibrary ed's should be priority since unlike some things that are OOP they're probably *going* out of print.

Other than that you should probably just leave black orchid out and concentrate on sandman if you want more gaiman after then you can get it later.... I have no idea what Academy X is but if you've almost completed it then go for it... simonson thor is fucking great but just get a couple trades to start, who knows you might not get into it.. and I don't know shit about cass batgirl but that one seems a bit dodgy, its not something i see on shelves here alot and if it was good it would be more talked about.

>>85946898

Cassandra Cain used to be /co/s shit for the longest time, it's just that she isn't used anymore so her popularity has taken a hit, also her new reprints just started coming out this year

>>85948877

Cheers, wasn't aware they were going OOP, just ordered the lot now.

Academy X was a rebrand of New Mutants, which was then rebranded again as New X-Men for the second half of the run (after the previous New X-Men book came to an end). It's all very confusing.

But before your next snide post, are you the anon who was mentioned in the post you replied to?

>>85903623
Well the good news is that I'm really liking it so far. I knew that if there'd be anyone to write a Batman story I'd enjoy, it'd be Morrison.

Bad news is that after looking at my upcoming pull list for the next few months, I'm gonna have to cut down on trades and omnis big time. Probably just stop all together until some of these runs end. Oh well, that's the way it goes sometimes.

Yeah, the heads and the back arms are interchangeable.
>Also how do you feel about the packaging of marvel figures
This is the first marvel figure I've bought in a while, so I don't really have an opinion on the packaging.

Now I may not be as into robo cop as I think I am.... but Is he usually so fucking decked out as I see in the cover of the issue 4?

Local used music and movie store tried selling liquidated books, but on clearance now. Managed to get all of these (some still in shrink wrap) for around 30$ Canadian. Good haul.

How is DeathLok?

>>85954777
Top lel what an idiot.

>>85955462
Too bad you got the inferior version of that second volume of castle waiting, other than that though you did pretty well

>>85954425
I love Scioli, but I have no experience with either properties.
Will this be something someone like me can enjoy?

>>85960658
Yes,I actually really never enjoyed anything relating to TF but I enjoyed it, I think actually if you are a fan of it you would be less likely to like it because of how off the rails and insane it is which I'm guessing the shows never were like

>>85960634
I thought that was the newer version that had extra chapters in it.

>>85960668
So no nostalgia-baiting. That's good. Now I might give it a try.

>>85955626
2 bucks, the whole haul was haul was 26 bucks.
There were suprsingly few comic vendors, and one guy was trying to sell ROM issues at 7 bucks a pop

>>85960634
I'm not familiar with castle waiting at all, just grabbed it since it was so cheap, what's inferior about the second volume?

>>85955647
I've never read them, but they were cheap and the art is fantastic (rip Cooke). I was looking online and found it confusing, are there more volumes?

Anyone headed to Baltimore Comic Con today?

>>85962049
It's an adaption of a very long and good crime book series with those four being the only ones Cooke adapted, you can just read the rest of the novels though because Cooke does barely anything different from them and you're basically getting the cliff notes versions
