Is origin any good?

Nice!
>>87778793
I think it's great. If you like Wolverine it's definitely worth a shot. It's less of an origin, and more of just a beginning so don't expect it to completely fill in everything up to modern Wolvie.

Sienkiewicz's draws in black and white are noice.

ehh I prefer color to black and white, plus I wanted to collect all the single issues in the run

>>87778793
Origin II is terrible, but the original Origin was groundbreaking when it came out. It probably doesn't seem so impressive now since the movies adapted it some, but it's good comics.

Try to find just the original Origin tpb for $5 and save your money though.

What are the chances of DC reprinting the Red Robin series? They're OOP.

On topic part of post: My next recent purchase will be the first two Chuck Dixon Tim Drake Robin trades and other Robin books.

>>87784171
I don't think DC reprints anything but Watchmen by this point.

>>87784171
>>87784284
you know what'd be cool? if there was some boardmember of AT&T who pushed to buy Time Warner just so that he could force DC to start reprinting shit he likes.

>>87784171
>DC
>reprinting
Pick one

>>87784284
>>87784675
Well. DC is reprinting a bunch of Dixon work like BoP and Nightwing. They are also printing Waid's Flash which I thought they'd never do. Plus Cass Batgirl. The cool thing about those books is that they collect twice the number of comics from their original paperback collections. I would kill not to have to pay OOP prices on Red Robin trades AND get twice the number of issues in reprinted collections.

up

Anyone know if Big Damn Sin City is getting reprinted?

Was about to buy it but it shot up overnight. Debating on whether or not i'll just buy HCs of the trades

>>87785723
I got it for half price on CGN's new Nick and Dent section. There's literally nothing wrong with it, still in the shrinkwrap. I'm waiting until Miller finally croaks so I can sell it for mad dosh.

My LCS is doing a 25% off all back issues sale for LCSD tomorrow so I plan on getting a couple of Rebirth titles I've been missing out on. Other than that my LCS sucks when it comes to sales, wish he would do some sales for the nice ass HCs he's never gonna sell at full retail price. Atleast there's IST's Black Friday sale to look forward to next week.

No idea why the image flipped like that. It's right side up in my files.

>>87784171
Not bad. Legionaires and Checkmate are getting reprints due to Rebirth character interest.
When Tim gets out of limbo for the next Crisis, he's bound to get some stuff released.

>>87793927
I don't know where you get your delusions, but Legionnaires gets reprinted because Mark Waid wrote it, Checkmate because Greg Rucka wrote it.
It was probably a deal between them and DC to keep them bound.
If one of them had wrote a longer stint on Robin, it would have gotten reprinted.

What's the most based collection a publisher's ever done?
My vote goes to DC's 26 volume The Spirit archives.

>>87783802
not /co/ but how is that copy of house of leaves? Ive been meaning to delve into the whole thing and was wondering if I should splash on the edition you have?

>>87795821
>>87795920
okay I just went through everything related and the reason a few issues (064, 066, 067, 068, 078, 087, 094 and 116) are omitted is because

The run itself has 275 issues and 12 annuals, annual 01 & 03 are reprints, the rest is aready in the TPBs. the most recent TPB (33) was released this month and it collects issues 259-267 so that leaves 8 more uncollected issues, which is exactly 1 TPB.

All 55 issues of King Conan/Conan the King are collected, as are all 235 issues of Savage Sword of Conan. Didn't look up Kull yet and frankly don't have the time right now.

Anyway: on comicbookdb I found some infos about the issues that weren't reprinted:
>Issue 064: Series inker Steve Gan was not able to deliver the cover-featured story, so issues #64 contains a reprint of Savage Tales #5. The story occurs between the events of Conan #44-45.

>Issue 066: no info. I'm guessing it's because Red Sonja is in it though

>Issue 067: Continued from Conan The Barbarian #66 and marvel Feature: Red Sonja #6. Continues in Marvel Feature: Red Sonja #7.
as I thought.

>Issue 068: this one is reprinted in chronicles of Kull TPB 03

>Issue 078: Reprints Savage Sword of Conan 001

>Issue 087: Reprints Savage Sword of Conan 003

>Issue 094: No info here whatsoever, this issue apparently hasn't been reprinted anywhere.

>Issue 116: Reprints the so called Book and Record Set (45 rpm) (1974) PR31. It's already reprinted in one of the TPBs

So yeah, The Red Sonja issues are probably planned to be released somewhere else, that logically just leaves Issue 094 out and I don't know why. That one and the Red Sonja related issues were all done by Thomas/Buscema so you can rule out Alan-Moore-type problems.

>>87786022
Got back from my LCS today. Owner was being a cheap piece of shit that wouldn't look through his extra stock in the white boxes he keeps on the bottom shelves and give me 25% off those. He purposely put all his shit books in the regular back issue boxes today so nobody could get to the good shit. What a cheap cuck.

>>87783802
>>87799090
Is that the Trade or the Library Binding?
In any case, always go for the LB if it's affordable, you won't find anything sturdier than that except if you can travel back in time and ask the monks of some medieval monastery to make a proper leatherbound book on uterine vellum parchment for you, which should cost you around 50 Gold-Taler and which would take another half a year to make.

You seem to be really into Conan... so I will ask.. Whats the diff between Dark Horse Conan and all the stuff you were just talking about? i picked up a random DH Busiek conan trade a week or so ago and i like it but is it just a diff take on the character altogether? same stories told in slightly diff ways?

People seem to covet the collosal conan omni so i wanted to check some of that out, but now I'm wondering whats up. lol

Ok look, I wasn't going to do this but you said it twice, the words you're looking for are either Cunt, or Cock, or just simply "Cheap Bastard"

cuck means absolutely nothing in this scenario, I know its a meme but at least reserve the idiotic word to when its at least tangentally related.

unless of course the owner of your lcs is married and his wife is fucking another dude with his approval, I don't know your life. lol

The new Dark Horse stuff is a modernization and reimagining of the character. Classic Conan is more silver/bronze age influence. The pacing is typically silver/bronze age while the modern Conan is more focused on, well, plot, action and all that shit.
The classic run was pioneered by Roy Thomas and Steve Buscema, they're really a great team, while most of the new stuff was written by Kurt Busiek, who is also a really great Conan writer. You can see how he both read the classic Conan runs by Thomas AND read the actual stories by Howard because he sometimes adds shit that wasn't in the classic run (too bloody or too sexual).
It's both really good, mind you, since literally anything works with Conan.
And the Colossal Conan is just a symbol of status. The HCs and trades are as good. There' sa new Omnibus type TPB run coming out, the first one is going to be released in december I think.
And while we're at it, you may also want to take a look at the original stories of Howard because they're fucking awesome in their own right.
He always managed to get it just right, you just have to like Conan even though he's a scoundrel and vagabond, sometimes an asshole and a thug, but he's always ready to defend a damsel in distress and the stories itself are very captivating and you never feel that he's a marty-stu character.
I always feels it's a fucking shame that Howard decided to shoot his head off so early.
So yeah, both new and old Conan are pretty awesome. I'm not particularly a fan of the late 80s to early 2000s stuff though, it kind of feels lackluster.
Also if you're going for the novel books, only get Howard's stuff, an overwhelming amount of books written by other writers is just shit.

>>87802384
>There' sa new Omnibus type TPB run coming out, the first one is going to be released in december I think.
they're also reprinting the colossal conan

>>87802450
yeah there was apparently a batch coming at bookdepository and I was really interested but I was out of funds at the time and the price shot up like mad. Besides, I don't order at bookdepository any more after a few really bad delivery experiences. if there's any other source with a proper price you know I'd gladly appreciate it if you shared it of course because amazon sure as hell doesn't offer any new Colossal Conan copies.

>>87802616
It'll be $84 on instocktrades. just wait for it to get reprinted in December or January

What's the best way to start getting into Usagi Yojimbo? Just like with Dredd, start with the first TPB and work my way up, or is it more complicated than that?

I'm trying to slow down with how much I spend, so I'm limiting my self to 50$ every check.

Going to finish up Preacher next, and continue working on the Judge Dredd stuff. Working on some Batman, and I'll continue to work trough invincible soon. Recommendations are always welcome.

>>87803510

Just like that actually, the only thing is the first 7ish trades are published by Fantagraphics and the rest are Dark Horse

>>87804020
Well, that's convenient. I like when series are easy like that. Not like fucking Sonic where you have to cross reference three different reading order charts and even then, not everything has been collected in TPB form.

I just got these two today what am I in for?

Picked up Essential Doctor Strange 2-3 (which are now going for huge bucks).

I know, they just did an Epic TPB with a lot of this material, but there is a huge chunk of Doctor Strange material that is not available in print in color between the Ditko omnibus and the Epic of the englehart run. So I'd rather stick to the Essentials until they close this gap.

Also, I have more Superman shit coming in to further complete my Post-Crisis Superman run collection in the form of Superman #672-700.

>>87804982
So how much fucking Doctor Strange IS available these days? I know they did an omnibus of the Ditko run and the Shuma Gorath arc was the the Epic Doctor Strange TPB. What else is available in TPB?

>>87805167

The Masterworks line is largely out of print but the last couple of volumes that are still in print, roughly cover the first 30 issues of the '740'-86 ongoing.

The recent Ditko omnibus roughly covers all of the Doc Strange covers from Strange Tales #110-146 (strange appeared sporadically in the beginning, missing several issues before becoming the permanent co-feature with issue #115).

From there you have the Epic TPB which collects the entire Marvel Premier run, a couple of odds and ends stories from this era, and the first five issues of the '74 series.

From that point, you are kind of SOL. The TPB of Triumph and Tragedy has a random issue from the Roger Stern era (#57) and the T&T graphic novel from 1990. After that, there is "Don't Pay the Ferryman" which collects the last six issues from the '74 series (#75-81) and "Doctor Strange: Strange Tales", which collects the Doctors Strange stories from the '87 revival of Strange Tales.

From that point, the only thing from the '89 series are #33-39 which are in the Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus sans back-ups and a couple of issues in the Acts of Vengeance X-Over Omnibus.

There are three OOP collections, two of which pair well with DPTF and the Strange Tales '87 collection (along with the Essentials and T&T).

Into the Dark Dimension collects #68-74 (and is rare as hell, as it was given a super small print run) and Doctor Strange Vs Dracula, which collects #58-62.

There is also an OOP TPB that collects both versions of the Doctor Strange Annual #1 (which was heavily rewritten for initial publication but was redrawn from based on the original junked script as a one-off in the 90s).

Essential Doctor Strange collects the entire original Doctor Strange Strange Tales run, the short lived '68 rebranding of ST into a Doctor Strange ongoing, the odds and ends stories bridging it and Marvel Premier, the Marvel Premier run and Doctor Strange '74-'86 #1-56 and Annual #1.

>>87791748
Not anytime soon.

Just be thankful we are getting all of the Starlin Cap Marvel shit (including DoCM) in one huge "Complete" TPB next year.

no that's okay, don't forget it's literally a different age of comics. the whole mindset behind it and the problems and aims it handled is completely different to us nowadays.
I can deal with bronze age but have attention problems with silver age stuff myself, except for Marvel/Kirby.

also don't forget it ran for way over 200 issues and into the late 80s so the latter stuff may be readable to you (haven't checked most of it yet)

you may want to pick up some scans/digitals of it first before paying money for any of it.

>>87808051

Yeah now that I've wiki'd it and stuff it seems as daunting as Judge Dredd, so damn many issues.. always always so much more to read

>>87809738
Chronicles of Conan the Barbarian is currently 33 TPBs, next one should be the last one, Savage Sword of Conan is another 22.

I really need to get a new shelf if I ever start collecting that

>>87791817
Well, no signs of pages falling out so that's cool. No bending either. Seems to be just above average glue binding. I'm too new to collecting comics to really give a say on paper qaulity, but they seem better than the modern Marvel Omnibuses. Color is the standard digital restoration if that's an issue.
>>87799090
>>87800250
Awesome book, can't recommend it enough. It's the full color print, second edition (first edition seems to be missing Chapter 21, 2 Appendixes and an index) and according to the logo on the back and spine is the Turtleback Library Binding.
Only complaint is the unusual size means the spine's edges are a little warped, but it still reads fine. I'm 100% certain it's because I let a friend borrow it and he left it in his bag all the time. I really want to get another copy to display. It also convinced me to never let a friend borrow a book.
>>87806141
That's coming out on IST in 3 days. Another week for Amazon presumably.

>>87811570
>Turtleback Library Binding.
all right, it's on my list.
>and he left it in his bag all the time.
that is the most likely reason.

Pre-ordered the Bronze Age Brave and the Bold omni just for the Jim Aparo art. Still one of my favorite artists and has always drawn the definitive Batman for me. Looking forward to it. Probably going to buy the BatO hardcover now to go with it.

Latest. Read Sec which was pretty cool. More of an illustrated poem than a comic, though I don't find the distinction that important. I'm going to read the Kago stuff next.

>>87819088
You waited way too long. It was released like a month ago. Gotta be quick on that shit. Otherwise, you may never get it. I don't even know if a secondary market exists for minicomics.

>>87819229
sorry, clicked 'submit' by accident. Joan Cornella was on the 2nd box. I doubt you'll know any other artists in there if you're not Spanish. 'Max' has a couple books on Fantagraphics, and Martí was published on an USA magazine iirc.

>>87819196
Simon said to me personally that Truth Zone is back and I blew it by taking so long...

>>87819400
>Martí was published on an USA magazine iirc.

Art Spiegelman's RAW

>>87819422
it was on sale for a while - then Simon sold another batch - and that one didnt sell out for a while. You had your chance my man

>>87819364
I was aware that he started selling at the beginning of this month. I think he was supposed to have copies of for our comics festival but his dog peed on them. Or was that just Drone?
>>87819460
I've got no one blame for it other than myself.
Though I do wonder why he does limited editions when he's published by Fanta.

>>87819538
That may have been Drone. I remember some of the copies got damaged somehow.

>>87819400
marti also got his cabbie comic published by fanta and they put out a ignatz line book with him, also they just put out a collection of indie spanish cartoonists this year so i assume some would appear in there too

>>87819196
I'd like a storytime, anon.

I was at the comic shop the other day and saw a boxset of Batman court of owls, city of owls, and death of the family. I asked the owner about them and he started taking about how it won a bunch of awards and were some of the best Batman stories in recent years. So I bought it, despite /co/'s warnings about Snyder. After all, he might have had good stories.

The owls were alright, death of the family was painfully edgey. Why didn't I listen to you, /co/?

>>87820844
It's pretty sad how highly praised Snyder's run is.

>>87820196
what are those huge silvery styled silver age volumes on the far right of the top shelf?

>>87820921

Alot of it is forgiven because of Capullos art.. people are blown away by what theyre looking at and forgive the narrative troubles.

I should know i tend to be one of those types, not with Snyders Batman though, lol.

>>87826294
similar to Jeph Loeb then. he somehow always managed to get top class artists for his completely shit stories that tended to destroy already established lore.
I can't even look at Ed McGuinness's art without thinking of Loeb and getting angry.

lucky man. hope she ordered stuff you like.

just got a "like new" copy of Fourth World Omnibus vol 1.....and there are multiple stains throughout, the binding is falling apart, and the dust jacket has been folded so many different ways it's in a cloth-like state.

I hate dishonesty. Sell your average copy as average. Not even by the most charitable metric for "like new" is this book anything fucking close to "as if it just came out of the shrinkwrap."

>>87845639
amazon or ebay? on ebay you can at least easily get pics, amazon is a can of worms

>>87845868
ebay. he had a photos of the front and back cover. None of the problems are visible from those angles. The thing is, you can tell from the moment you pick it up that it's obviously a heavily-used book. Everything is rubbed smooth, it lays flat when it's open to pretty much any page, pages all seem dirty/handled, etc. It looks and feels the way a book does after it's been in backpack rotation for a year. I've already opened up a return ticket.

the justifications he listed under "like new" are starting to irriate me more and more, because they're the only nice things you can say about the book.

>“Book is in Like New condition. No rips or writing on the dust jacket. No missing pages."
WOW! All the pages?! No writing?! Welp, that's MY entire checklist for "like new." Time to move on.

>>87845639
ironing the dust jacket helps a bit, but make sure you don't get it wet and make sure you use another piece of cloth between the dust jacket and the iron before starting.

You'd think with this whole Kamandi project thing DC is doing and Kirby being such an influencial creator theyd at least keep some of the basics in print indefinetly.... why is Watchmen and various other Alan Moore shit always in print but Kirby is all OOP stuff you have to dig and scrape to find... have some respect ffs.

>>87847425
If I buy online I buy new. I got a used bookstore nearby and I'll gladly pick up something that's been lovingly destroyed provided I can examine it and decide what they're charging is fair. I refuse to gamble on used stuff by mail though.

Because if it went out of print the rights would go back to Moore and Gibbons.

>>87848912
my first Flash omni definitely looks worse since the one and only fucking time I had it with me to show it to a friend I missed the last bus home and had to walk through rain and my bag and in it the omni got all soggy. lower part is basically fucked up from water damage.
but I did it myself so I only have to blame myself and it is still readable so...

>>87849189
I usually buy my regular (non-comic) books used and online (mostly on amazon's market place) but my limit is at 25-30€ for HCs that are OOP and I ask the seller for pics. if the seller tells me some shit like "yeah uh we don't have it here, it's in some external warehouse" then I won't buy.

I ordered some shit via zvab.com (which is basically a German version of abebooks and I just saw their web certificate states that it belongs to abebooks), it's basically a marketplace for used book stores. ordered a few german non-comic books from it and they were always top notch for cheap.

is there anything like that besides abebooks for americans?

also I don't really care that much how my used regular books look like, but comics need to be top quality or nothing.

No they wouldn't and Moore wants nothing to do with any of the stuff he's written anyways. They're constantly in print because they're easy sells to casuals and make them a lot of money.

I'd say fairly good since they're currently re-collecting and re-printing all of Tim's Robin stuff.

They finally released more info about the Adam Strange Silver Age Omnibus:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401272959/
and that's very nice cover pic.

>The Silver Age adventures of Adam Strange are collected at last in one giant omnibus collection!

>After being mysteriously teleported to another world, Rann, Adam Strange's life changed forever as he went from being an archaeologist to a cosmic adventurer and hero. In these tales from SHOWCASE #17-19 and MYSTERY IN SPACE #53-74, Adam and his new ally, Alanna, defend Rann against alien invaders, giant monsters, mad scientists, out-of-control robots and more!

Kind of disappointed. it collects basically the first archive and half of the second archive (which collects up to Mystery in Space 80).
There better be another one incoming which collects up to Mystery in Space 91 and Strange Adventures 157 like the 3rd archive does, but I seriously doubt it.
Thinking of skipping it and hunting down the archives instead since I can get 2 of them for piss-cheap and I'm generally very satisfied with the archive format.

also cheap-comic.com started its black friday sale already, have a look.

Definitely going to use this. Amazon will probably have one too but I think it limits the max amount off to be at $10 which is lame.

I got my B&N books from the 20% off sale (plus the 3 for 2 add on) and they all arrived great. The cellophane was ripped at the corners but no damage underneath.

IST has started their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale

It WAS %100. He's lectured me in both emails he's sent so far about how I should have tried to "resolve the issue" before giving him a negative rating.

It says in his profile that he "retired from the Navy in 2010," and his first email was remarkably close to opening with "what the fuck did you just say to me!?!?"
(the opening line was "REALLY DUDE?!?")

New to buying comic books. Bought these used off craigslist, they look like they've been read gently once. Worked out to about $4.50 each, I think I did gud.

I wonder why he left gaps in the Hellblazer and Natsume sets.

>>87878882
damn DAMN that Booster Gold showcase is sold out everywhere.
and everything looks like new. you did good son.
can't tell you about the gaps maybe he put his dicks inside them, it's craigslist after all but you made a fucking bargain.

>>87873912
Got myself a copy of that with the Dark Tower HC and Captain Carrot Showcase just because they were so cheap, along with crossing off all of the shit on my wishlist. Feels bretty gud.

I'm reading through the content on Marvel Unlimited and I think I'd like to pick up the war of Kings Omni.

Is that the recolored edition? If so I want to get that to compare to the softcover I have of the original print.

>Is that the recolored edition?
Yeah. I imagine it was recolored so the old stuff would look like the newer stories. Dave Stewart did it so it looks great

>>87841959
Reading Nausicaä.

>>87879848
Yeah. I generally am against the idea of recoloring, but Darrow himself has stated his approval for Dave Stewart's work.

>>87878882
Damn, this looks good, man. You got lucky. Booster Gold is out of print and is at least $40 on Amazon. So is Doctor Strange MMW. You can even sell them and make some easy money.

Btw, when I buy used books I just wipe the covers with some alcohol, works for me

>>87878882
>Hellblazer 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
>no 3
This makes me reee.

>>87880150
Thanks for the alcohol tip, I'll do that.

>>87880186
Me too. I'm going to buy it next.

>>87881034
Worst part is that The Fear Machine was Delano's best arc.

>>87881034
Just be careful when you do it, some covers are sensetive and you can possibly wipe the color, so do not push too hard

>>87881106
Alcohol swabs work for me. Usually the plastic covering on the cover is strong enough to withstand that little bit of alcohol.

>>87881055
>not The Family Man

>>87881188
That's right.

New Comic guy here but Ive been buying floppies for a while now should i stop and just buy the omnibus? I buy floppies cause i want to support the book but then money wise omnibus are alot cheaper. I buy around 10 rebirth books

>>87881225
Buy deluxe editions, they are good to read. Omnibus looks good on the shelf but it is not very comfortable to read it (not always)

>>87882375
depends on the deluxe edition I guess. Crisis on Infinite Earths deluxe might as well have been an omni, it's pretty uncomfortable to read.
still happy to have it as deluxe since it isn't as expensive as an omni

I am goimg to pull this number out of my ass, but judging from posts around here and my own experience, I don't know that there are 10 omnis that really qualify for the "too big to read comfortably" rap.
In pic related, it is only Simonson's Thor that I notice the size of; my JSA omis are too large as well, I'll admit.
However, my DC One Million, Orion and the rest of the Marvel Omnis in the pic are fucking sweet.
I own the FF twice, here and in the MMW. There is simpy no comparison. The omnis are 10 times better in terms of paper, color, size, binding and reading experience over all.
I love them, honestly.

Picked up a fortnight's worth of standing orders, one TPB, and a cheapish tablet this week.

Tablet more to save on space than anything else. Was buying loads of omnibuses and TPBs and just don't have the shelf space. Now I can read digitally comfortably without tons of scrolling on my laptop or being stuck at my desk on my desktop.

Was a bit worried 10.1" would be a little small, but it's probably for the best really. Can read it without needing to zoom, but it's still got some weight to it, so think 12"+ would be uncomfortable to hold for extended reading.

This guy again. What about Alabaster? Getting that Rick and Morty hardcover for my brother for Christmas, so I'm looking for some fun new things to round out the order to 50.

>>87890038
It depends how the creative team/publisher wants it.
Image's Saga alternates between releases, Europeans put the artist first, the artist is a big star, and semirelated DC put Morrison's name first on the first Millar Swamp Thing collection even though he left after the first arc.

>>87818540
Fucking beautiful. Is this from a foreign publisher? The only Henk stuff I have is stuff that's appeared in anthologies over the years. I think they did some new material for Smoke Signal, Desert Island comic's tabloid publication (so much good stuff in there if you like alternative stuff, it's free from the store otherwise you can buy it via mail order for a dollar)?>>87819400 I love Max (and Marti), The Dream of Mr. D was put out by D & Q in the late nineties, I also have Peter Pank, his early Peter Pan as a punk rocker parody sex comic.
>>87842273
That's fucking beautiful. Speaking of Kirby, anyone buying or considering the complete Ditko/Kirby Machine Man collection that's just come out (in fucking PAPERBACK, THANKS, MARVEL!!!)? I know it's not either of their best work but I always had a soft spot for that stuff when I was a kid, through the Marvel UK reprints. I kind of want it.

Anyway here's my new stuff, came today.

>>87894238
>What, is that a collection of all those little comics that used t come with the figures?!
yes it is, plus a huge explanation and commentary to each comic (because remember how small they were and they still printed that omnibus on standard size paper) an insane appendix and all that for just €21, that book is just fantastic.

Alright, decided on Courtney Crumrin and Monstress to round it out. Just a reminder since I feel like I'll get called out on it - the Rick and Morty is a christmas present for my brother.

I was looking at Lenore or Hopeless, Maine, but IST didn't have volume one of either in stock. I'll probably grab Hopeless someday though, it looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for right now.

>>87894917
