/co/ shelffag / buyfag / envyfag thread #???

Besides grabbing the new volume of Copra I don't think I'll be buying any more comics, besides my pull list, until after the holidays

>>88076868
For the holidays I'm getting

Punisher Max Complete Collection 3 and 4
Sandman 6-10
Hellblazer 6
Gundam Origin 4
Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
The Killing Joke
Kingdom Come
Hellboy Library Edition 1

I wish I had the confidence to start collecting real copies but my stock broker would not allow me.

>>88077638
I feel ya.

I got...

Teen Titans Vol. 2-5.
Nightwing Vol. 5.
Robin Vol. 1-3
Green Arrow/Black Canary: Road To The Alter
Mother Russia
Dead Body Road

on the way. I wish I could find some Mobile Suit Gundam Wing books.

>>88077697
Just do it.

>>88077697
Shelves with comics on them look more impressive than ones with books on them.

been on a silver age kick lately. recently picked up World's Finest 173 - 1st silver age Two-Face, and Showcase 80 - 1st silver age Phantom Stranger

>>88077852
I've been wanting to pick up all those gold/silver/bronze age Omnis DC has been releasing.

I need new shelves so I can organize things better.

>>88077893
yea, I'm really looking forward to the batman brave and the bold omnibus. That run has some of my favorite Neal Adams work

>>88077970
And I need better shelves. I've got an Ikea thingie I salvaged from the trash that looks like a pile of TV screens, you can't fit neat rows into it because there's so many walls in it.

>>88077970
I'm heading over to Ikea soon to take a look at these. They're tall and seem like perfect storage for comics; I just hope they're big enough for some of the hardcover, large DK things I have.

>>88077989
I agree. I hope more heroes get some, like, Green Arrow.

>>88077989
It also has all the issues in the out of print Jim Aparo collection

Now DC needs to reprint the Englehart/Rogers stuff

Black Friday stacks.

The first two are from TFAW, the one on the right is local bookstore.

A bit butthurt that TFAW had 60% off selected items for Black Friday and then for the same items, 80% for Cyber Monday. Oh well.

>>88077804
debatable

>>88078063
I put that shelf up in the middle of a room as separator and store books in it, most regular books are short enough so that you can use that shelf to store them from both sides, pretty practical.
in the mail

>>88078157
those dark horse archives look fancy as fuck
left and center is pretty much all golden age stuff except for Atomic Robo, right?

>>88076868
Hoping it lives up to the hype. The hardcover is beautiful.

>>88078267
Pretty much, except for Demo and AR
They are pretty great, but pretty expensive too. I wouldn't justify buying them at their $50 MSRP. Only bought because of the sale.

>>88078063
checked the height of the separate shelves just now, it's roughly 33cm which is pretty much exactly 13" if that helps you.
never had any problems storing my big books in it.

>>88078388
Nice! I have a few of the hardback books, as I said, about DC, Man of Steel, etc, and they all seem to be 10.4 x 1.6 x 12.6 inches, from what Amazon says, so it looks like it'll be perfect for storing books.

>>88078422
yeah they should fit. and even if they don't you could still place them on top then

>>88078063
Mine is kind of like this, I hate it because I need to keep some books behind others to fit them all in.

>>88078463
I'm looking into buying two; one for DC and for everything else. My current shelf is a mess, though.

>>88078457
True. I have them laying horizontal on my shelf right now and some still in storage

>>88078063
The biggest problem I have with shelves is depth. I've got a couple shelves I bought for books and DVDs that I now use for storing trades and manga, but even trades have about a 1-inch overhang. I've got one narrow shelf that's deep enough to house my larger books but it's pretty much full.

Added this to my collection on Tuesday. Can't believe I even got to see this let alone own it. Might go back in 2 weeks and see if they still have the Weird Sciene and (I think) Two Fisted Tales there as well.

Also, they had a copy of Witzend there, but it was $250. I got to touch it at least.

>>88084149
>no shakara

damn it!

Is Missonary Man any good? As in is there any plot or is it just action and Quietly showing off?

>>88081812
Are those Junji Ito books OOP and crazy expensive, now?
>>88084149
Fucking right little score there, Anon! Zenith has to be my favourite Morrison work, probably solely down to nostalia but damn that Yeowell art, that deep chiaroscuro and jagged, slashy brushline is a thing of utter beauty...
>>88085666
Never rated Shakara at the time it started in the mag. Just felt like plot-less, gratuitous violence, desu. As for Missionary Man, the drawing is REALLY nice but don't expect much in the way of backgrounds! That was a BIIIG weakness in Quitely's early stuff. I remember being fucking blown away when I got that issue with the first M.M, there were a few really good illustrators coming up at that time...Quitely's background and architecture had gotten really good by the time of, oh God, Whatsherface, the Sino-Cit female judge he did a run on, there was a dope scene of her riding her bike through fucking mall walls and shit but his Missionary Man stuff?....lotsa unexciting desert backgounds and his ability to place characters in believable environments (I'm thinking specifically of the big bar-room firefight scene) was sorely lacking. Just, like, the characters shooting at each other against a lovely purple-coloured background with maybe a chair or a table....his character designs and overall style was a real breath of fresh air amid all the Biz copyists infesting Toothy/The Megazine at that time, though. If you're a Quitely completest i'd say go for it.

Legend got me looking into Animosity, which sold me with its most recent issue. Any word on a trade for it yet? These really small publishers are always hard to get a feel and dates for.

Collection is small at the moment, but growing. I don't read Marvel/DC, so I never really know what I'm going to buy next. Probably Autumnlands vol 2, Akira #3, and maybe Saga. I also want to get my hands on some issues of High Crimes.

how's that complete Lovecraft bonus material if there is any? I got the B&N one and it's got shitloads of bonus stuff like scripts, letters etc but they had the brilliant idea to silver the edges of the pages so after reading your fingers are silvered.
and don't get me started about the cover art...

So I started moving over some stiff from my old place to my new apartment, and I'm probably going to need another shelf.

>>88087291
Well, what did you think about it? Just FYI that collection is missing the two latest chapters, To Hell & And back because they were published by Glénat.

>>88090106
I'm starting it this weekend, just finished the Eternaut and thanks for the heads up. Are those volumes translated?

>>88090106
And my recent purchase, missing is Idés Noir by André Franquin which is on it's way. Adlibiris had 20% off everything so I decided to complete som series that I started.

Next I'm going to complete the S&L Moebius translations, because Dark Horse decided NOT to include the last part of the World of Edena in their collection for some reason. Either that or get my hands on some Boucq or Rosinski stuff.

>>88090228
It's Glénat, so no.

Unless someone scanlated it.

You ever wonder what's gonna happen to all your books when you're in your 50s and 60s, /co/?

>>88087370
Are they the traditional manga layout from reading right to left or did they get flipped so you can read left to right? I always try to read manga, but it just gives me a headache with the reading order.

>>88091310
I'm assuming they're not flipped. That practice died out a while ago.

>>88091337
Damn. I've been thinking about tracking down Marvel's Akira stuff since it's both colored and flipped. It's just kind of counter intuitive to read manga, for me anyway, and slightly disorienting. But I want to check some stuff out, like Vagabond and the DB/DBZ colors.

Ride it out. It's weird in middle ages, but when you're an old man reading comics, watching anime, and playing with dolls, it becomes endearing again. Who's that old man that has every Cattleya figure ever released?

Nothing? By then I'll hopefully have enough money to justify having a dedicated library room.

Nope, Amazon has both Gyo and Uzumaki listed for around $15

>>88095280

when ordering, if its from a site that isnt known for their good packaging i find its better to order a good 5 books at a time because it means it has to at least go in a proper box with some sort of packing material hopefully.

I know its not a tip that helps when you find one book on a good sale but as a rule of thumb it tends to help.

when i get a book in one of those floppy crap padded envelope things i lose my shit briefly before i look inside to see whats what.

>>88095626

lol before i zoomed the pic i thought the guy in the front was James May as a Metal Gear character

How many ways could DC possibly reprint Watchmen and TDKR lol

>>88096715

All the ways, over and over in rotation... lol

>>88096715
As soon as Watchmen goes out of print, the rights return to the creators. Thus, never out of print.

Well it was fairly cheap for the page count. I read the main series and wasn't impressed, but it wasn't horrible either. I figure even if I only read it once, it's worth it.

>>88099116
That's the only one I've started reading so far. It's pretty good. I haven't read any Guardians of the Galaxy before.

If you only look at DC/Marvel. Even Marvel had that all ages line a few years ago.

Get them SHAZAM Monster Society of Evil or Thor: Mighty Avenger if they want superheroes

>>88091247
I'll hopefully have read most comics and real books i'll ever want to read by then.

>>88099832
If you're trying to "protect" younger people from modern comics, you should also protect them from golden age stuff.

You'd be better off getting silver age Flash.

>>88099832

So my brother calls me a loser for reading "picture books". Regardless of the content, he says comics are for uneducated man-children who can't read real literature. He says books like the Expanse series and Tripod trilogy have more depth and story to them than my entire comic book collection. What's co's opinion?

Oh, and go tell /lit/ about your favorite authors to see what it actually means to be judged.

>>88104489
Anon, you're in a thread full of people who really like comics on a board half dedicated to comics. What do you think the response will be? You don't need this validation, be the better sibling.

>>88104496
What's wrong with The Expanse? I haven't read any of it, but it sounds cool, and I liked the show.

>>88099832
get Superman Adventures instead

>>88101348
already ordered the Kamandi, Adam Strange and LoSH omnis plus Complete Legion Lost and Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1. I'd order that new print of Planet Heist as well but I already got it (first time I ever bought a used comic. and surprisingly I didn't get burned).

There's a corrected Doom Patrol Silver Age Omni now?

sheeeit, I need that

Bought these during the weekend. Haven't bought comics in a while.

>>88105569
It's 800 pages making it the biggest of the bunch. The Kirby vol 2 that just collects odds and ends like Superpowers is only just over 600 and it's real thick because of the paper

Every time I think about getting an Absolute I can't help but think I could get 4-5 other books for the same price. I might get some if I could find a deal that good, though.

that really makes me afraid of the binding then. you know that snapping sound that you hear when you open a badly glued book? I have that on repeat in my head right now.

>>88105751

Makes me jump every time. Luckily it was always just an overreaction.

>>88105751
>you know that snapping sound that you hear when you open a badly glued book?
Every time I reread my copy of King City...

Worse glue job I've ever seen is on the Mister X paperbacks from Dark Horse, It feel apart in the middle of my first read.

>>88105677
Shutter is urban fantasy adventure comics. Like if Indiana Jones was on a ton of LSD and hallucinating whimsical creatures and Richard Scarry books

Octopus Pie is a webcomic about Brooklynites

Deadly Class is if Hogwarts was a school for assassins and all you did was play hooky

Pretty Deadly is a Kelly Sue Deconnick book that is actually good because Emma Rios is on it.

Prince of Cats is Romeo and Juliet in Brooklyn but focuses on Tybalt's story.

Head Lopper is what happens when you mash Conan and Hellboy.

I'm going in blind on Wandering Island

I'm really glad I only payed 6 bucks for KSBD because I've seen what the book looks like and the 15 dollar price tag is a rip off for it's size.

>Worse glue job I've ever seen is on the Mister X paperbacks from Dark Horse, It feel apart in the middle of my first read.
happened to me with Legion of Super Heroes - The More Things Change. Was reading it on the train, suddenly the textblock broke out of the cover. glued it together at home, no problems then.

>>88105845
>Shutter
sounds interesting

>Octopus Pie
not so interesting to me

>Deadly Class
does it have proper world building? HP was just a shambles

>Prince of Cats
I don't think I could name a book right now that I'd want to read less. I read the solicits a while ago after some people here were congratulating each other on buying it, sounded horrible.

>Head Lopper
pretty broad description, but I'll give it a look.

> I'm really glad I only payed 6 bucks for KSBD because I've seen what the book looks like and the 15 dollar price tag is a rip off for it's size.

I'd like to think that most of it goes to the writer because I just love K6BD, but it probably won't.

>>88091247
hopefully by that time I have enough money to own a house big enough to have a library room for books, comics or otherwise

I got this, plus Yu-gi-oh: Millennium World Vol.5, Batman: A Death in the Family, and Batman: Hush. I also ordered 100 Bullets: The counterfith detective, and Locke and Key vols 1 and 2.

>>88105751
It won't be glued, they do sewn now. It'll probably similar to the New Frontier Deluxe, which is printed on a toothier stock. The binding is a little tight, but it's not that bad.

>>88106571
I might have to get around to grabbing those Walking Dead compendiums at some point.

>>88106041
>I'd like to think that most of it goes to the writer because I just love K6BD, but it probably won't.
IIRC Image only takes their cut from collected editions and that cut is 15-20%. The creators get the rest.

>>88101348
>Wonder Woman by John Byrne Book One
any good?
>Legion of Super Heroes: The Silver Age Omnibus

You should. Great deal and I get to laugh in the face of all those TV plebs with their watered down Governor and their 'Donny Dickinson' or whatever.

How is this compared to Ennis' other work?

Prince of Cats is ALL about the art, it's the longest thing Wimberly has worked on too iirc

>>88089072
What's Wild Blue Yonder like? I was interested in it when the single issues were coming out and forgot about it until now.

Which of these recent Peter Milligan works are worth reading/buying?

>Terminal Hero
>The Discipline
>The Names
>All-New Doop

>>88101348
It's A Bird is brilliant.

>>88108985
The Discipline was quite good.
The Names was cool but I couldn't quite connect with it, but it's technically well made.
Terminal Hero lost me after the underwhelming first issue
Doop was cool, if you like X-Statix you'll like this even if the art is meh and all, it's a nice little mini.
I also really enjoyed New Romancer, it was fun.

>bought two old as fuck tpbs from Valiant's 90's era for $1.84 plus $6.99 S&H

I hate the fact that I'm nearly jew levels of frugal on everything except food

>>88109064
Didn't know about New Romancer, thanks. I just wish there were hardcovers of these, since that's what I prefer to buy, and if that isn't available, then single issues. Kind of a hassle tracking them all down, though.

>>88109162
The sales didn't warrant hardcover treatment.

>>88109170
I don't doubt it!

Which other Vertigo relaunch titles are worth reading? I remember thinking Unfollowed or whatever it was called sounded interesting.

>>88109189
Unfollow is really good but I don't like the pacing, I just want to read a lot of issues at once. It is really good though, yes. Clean Room is too.
Standout is Sheriff of Babylon.

>>88106690
>good place to start for a legion noob?
it's so silver age-y and campy you'll probably have a lot of problems, but it establishes a lot of Legion lore (which is routinely explained in flashbacks in later issues).
But if you pre-order it right now you can still skip out of it a day before its release (just make sure to remember the date) so you don't have much to lose.
archive 1 and 2 (the omni contains archive1-3) are available as minutemen scans so maybe you want to take a look first.

so that adam strange omni pretty much collects the first archive and the first half of the second archive. that means they'll probably release another omni to collect the rest of the second and the whole third archive.

>>88110512
If the first one sells well enough.

>>88105533
wasteland is definitely DOA, shame because it's one of the best comics DC has ever published and they've made zero attempts before now to print it in a trade

>>88110824
How many issues will it be? 224 pages, so 9-10 issues.
It is only 18 issues, so they should put it into one thick paperback and be done with it.
But no, they have to release half now and then never collected the second half.

>>88110669
that's why I pre-ordered it.
I already have the showcase and could get the archives for around €30 each but I'm skipping them for now.

>>88099264
nice haul

>>88098569
Is it OP's collection, though?
>>88105533
They pulled Breyfogle volume 2? Cunts. I have 90% of the Wagner/Grant/Brey 'Tec run but it'd be nice to have most of it in one, well, two, places. One of the best iterations of Batman ever, I grew up with that run. so good. Btw are we talking about Wasteland the old horror anthology? That was dope a.f.
>>88080754
First thing on my list came today! Shit is thick as fuck, it looks like only around a third was serialised in MOME when the title finished. Can't wait to read this, based Fuzz & Pluck, double-based Ted Stearn (was in Mazzucchelli's Rubber Blanket, also storyboards shows like King of the Hill and Spongebob). So hyped.

Dear lord, it's beautiful.

>>88113436
Yeah the ostrander book with that american splendor riff in one issue

>>88113613
Never saw that one, I just picked it up occasionally. I remember David Lloyd was in it a few times, and didn't it have that semi-autobiographical story about the dexedrine-crazed freak wondering around the sewers in, like, one of those old-style leather flight caps with the goggles, a pair of boxers and a belt full of pre-loaded syringes? The writer later admitted it was something he used to do...was it all written by Ostrander?

>>88113542
It is, undoubtedly, I just get the feeling that it'd pop up in these threads a lot more if it was actually OP's...I mean, wouldn't YOU want to show that off as much as possible?! I know I fuckin' would!

Ordered these recently

Pre-ordered the Morrison's Batman & Robin omni and thinking about getting the Manapul Flash omni too.

Contemplating ordering the last few issues of that recent Hercules run Mahvel has been doing, probably ordering the rest of Godzilla: Rampage Across Time, and maybe a few more volumes of The Goon

Got all the Sweet Tooth Deluxes coming as well as Vol. 3 of Mind MGMT.

Got After Nothing Comes by Aidan Koch from a nice anon in the Christmas threads

Has anyone bought any original art? I'm debating getting some, but damn it's pricy.

>>88105751

Ugh, like 3 of my books do that shit, makes me nervous

>>88120223
They kinda have to be since it's directly going to the artist and they're one of a kind, also if you wanna see pricy look up original art for dead artists, some Bernie wrightson stuff goes for like one million

>>88121477
Oh I don't think it's unfair to charge that much, it's just that it's a whole different thing from "I feel like picking up this new series, let me just buy the first couple volumes for $10-20 each" versus dropping $200 minimum.

>>88121719

An alternative is going to a Con and getting a cool sketch by an artist you like for less, then framing it... but overall that'd probably cost more

>>88121824
Well the framing will be fairly painless thankfully since I actually started working at a frame shop which is part of why I was looking at this stuff to begin with. I feel like I should have some framed things around for myself.

>>88122466

If you look at artists instagram accts and other social media stuff they do sell things, just find something you like and then frame it yourself!

>>88105570
I'm holding out (granted for probably another 2 years) for a larger format hardcover of K6BD.

Which is what I typically do. My local library is excellent and brings in tons of comics at peoples request. Most everything I want to read multiple times until that point, I can check out.

Regarding the DC Summer catalog that just went up on Edelweiss; are all those titles available for preorder now? I don't usually preorder trades but there's some titles I don't want to die halfway through

Also did anyone order the Samnee Daredevil Artists' Edition? IDW just out up an unboxing on Youtube and it looks STUNNING

>>88124100
not all of them, still missing that complete Kelley Jones Deadman collection for example and a few others. they'll go up on amazon in the next couple of days I guess.

>>88124176
Cheers for the info. I know my stuff when it comes to monthly issue sales but I'm fairly oblivious on the trade side of things. Are trade releases for riskier books always preorder dependent? And do they take LCS and bookstore's orders into account the same way?

>>88124275
>Are trade releases for riskier books always preorder dependent? And do they take LCS and bookstore's orders into account the same way?

Nah, only on really limited print stuff and I think the big two look at preorders on weird old reprints/collections but its not the only determining factor.

Just order the damn books, barring catastrophe youll get them. lol

>>88116220
Glad you like it, it looks interesting! Actually your whole wishlist looked interesting, definitely not the standard fare for sure.

>>88124469
Cool, thanks for the clear-up

>>88124756
I actually ended up deleting the list, I made it for the thread and really didn't feel like I should get another gift after getting two at once and had no plans to repost it despite people saying it was okay even after getting gifted. I still need to gift some people though, was hoping this week but I'm gonna put it off till next payday to try and do a bunch at once. As for my taste yeah I try to read things at random, I prefer to look at new things instead of just sticking with one type of book or publisher although I have a real soft spot for everything by Peter Bagge and Bronze Age Marvel

>>88124275
you can just order them on amazon or something and if you for some reason don't like them after all, you can still cancel them 1 day before release date.

Does anybody have the new Timeless tales collection? Mickey/ uncle scrooge and how are they thinking about loading up on them.

I'm just recently starting to buy comics. My friend let me read his trade of Chew, and I'm hooked. I just found it ended last month, what a coincidence! Anyway, I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get the smorgasbord editions or hold out for an omnibus? Is 60 issues too many to expect them to fit into on book?

>>88127241
60 issues is impossible to fit into one, really.
that's 1320 pages. works for regular books (barely), but impossible for comics due to different paper, binding technique, being cheap-asses etc
that's at least 2 books, more likely 3, if at all.
Chew is a book by Image, the creator owns it, Image just publishes it and the creator has to pay for the books themselves before they are sold, he also decides on the formats of the books released, so the easiest way to find out about any upcoming plans is maybe to send a mail/tweet/whatever message to John Layman and ask him about it.

https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/chew-vol.-12-tp
that's the latest upcoming release I could find.

so yeah, either collect the tpbs, or wait for that last, what did you call it, smorgasbord edition to be released. don't hold your breath about an omni, it's not really a popular format with Image comics except for Rick Remender stuff for some reason

>>88127754
>He can't into Invisibles Omnibus

But really, it's fairly rare to find a book that think, and even more impractical.

>>88127754
Stray Bullets got a 1000+ page paperback, and a few omnibuses have gone over that too, it's defintely possible

>>88127241

I don't buy comics at all, desu. But someone recently recommended Jason Shiga's Demon to me. Is it worth a look, /co/?

>>88133903
that's just cover price
wherever you'll buy it it'll have discounts

>>88133903
>>88134006
og was $75 and as >>88132253 said, only 4 more issues

>>88133960
It used to be fully on Shiga's site but after he got a book deal, he left only the first issue. Maybe try that.
It's an interesting ride.

>>88134450
To add: it's a high-concept series but Shiga is a mathematics major and it shows in his work. It operates more logically than other high-concept works.

>>88077638

So you mean like between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Or do you celebrate Kwanza and Hanukkah both?

they're worth it for the art, that's about it imo. Like yeah they're well made books of course but I don't see the point in owning a book that large if you don't like the art. Absolute ASS is amazing and better than the trade because I love Quitely's work on it but I wouldn't get Absolute V for Vendetta despite liking the comic a ton because I don't view David Llyods art that highly
