Mainly got Avengers Academy because I found it for 3 bucks, I hope it will be slightly enjoyable at least.

I've been buying fuck all and it's getting to me. Nothing but my pulls for about a month.

Probably have a problem when I want to buy things just for the sake of buying them.

>>89107281
Wicked and the divine sounded cool but it disappointed me real bad, man. I read the first 2 volumes and couldn't continue. Something about how the characters act, how the story progressed just seemed so stiff or lackluster or fake or something and I ain't talking about the art. Maybe I'm too groggy but that's the best way I can explain it. The writing sucked, basically.

bought these solely for the bookplate.

i'm going to sell the tpb's and get my purchase price back.

>>89107600
What was the deal here? Why did the trades come with a bookplate?

I need a new bookshelf. A good one is hard to find. Mine are cheap. The shelves are bowing. I'm running out of room.

>>89107703
the dude got it with issue one. i missed out since my shop didn't get them. also if you bought them from hurtt's website they came with a different bookplate which i also have. and then there is the challenger ex libris book plate which i have. i have everything sixth gun.

>>89107797
Shit guy, that's brand dedication if ever I've seen it. I've been considering picking up the Gunslinger editions.

>>89107849
they look impressive.
if you want to read the series get the tpb's.

>>89107880
Already read the whole series. Trying to decide if I'm really going to want to read it again and again. My local library has all the tpb's.

>>89107529
Yeah? I'm on issue 10 now, and liked it a lot so far. Gillen seems to try to be hip too hard sometimes, but it works well considering the setting, and I think the characters all have their own little personality.

>>89107940
my opinion is incredibly biased but the truth is your gonna want to read this again and make all your friends read it too.because if they don't love the sixth gun then they aren't your friends

You fucks who don't buy floppies are cancer incarnate.

>>89108193
Can't display floppies well on the shelf.

>>89108193

don't know about those since I don't live in America. Try 2nd hand stores, ebay, ebay ebay classifieds, craigslist or if there's an IKEA near you or at least in your state, get a pick-up or a van or something (there's bound to be someone you know who you can borrow it from, or combine it with a road trip) to pick some shelves up from them.
Get a BILLY or FINNBY. FINNBY is best quality for price, they're sturdy as fuck and so cheap they must have been produced by 14 year old Cubans but they look a bit thin.
BILLY is just classic cool and very roomy.
KALLAX may look nice (I have one as well) but if you have oversize books (Absolutes) they won't fit height-wise. Not sure about LIATORP, looks like the shelf-rackings are fixed in height so you might end up with the same problem as with the KALLAX ones.

>fucking 3 party amazon sellers, slow as fuuuck
I know that feel.
Also if you're european, don't order at Books Etc. I did that 3 times now, first time was okay (book 2 and 3 of the big Godland editions, which came in a proper box) but 2nd and 3rd time I ordered HCs from them and they arrived just in envelopes and were battered as fuck. I TOLD them beforehand to please use proper padding, like just fucking newsprint or something stuffed into it but first time they told me they "conform to amazon requirements" or some shit and the second time they said "yeah we'll do that". fuck them!
Speedy Hen is cool, they're actually fast as fuck, even to mainland europe.
There are a few other sellers which I ordered from which are all right, but really, Books etc a shit, same as bookdepository. only bad experiences with them.

>>89110429
>first couple volumes of nausicaa
Why didn't you just buy the hardcover edition?

>>89108193

So the series is really good?

I'm honestly asking as the only thing of Bunn's that I've liked was Sinestro.

>>89112751
i like it. it has twists and turns i never saw coming. and i saw the gist of the ending in issue 50 as soon as they revealed the guns would and could change reality if they were brought together. the revelation of the true nature of becky and drake was totally out of left field and totally mind blowing. the mini series fleshing out the pasts of some of the minor characters helped fill in numerous details and generally showed how the world of the sixth gun works.

OP or anyone, I want to get the Tintin books in one set. Which is the best to get? Which version do you have and would you recommend it?

>>89113954
There's an older version of OP's set in blue that's legitimately complete, I don't think it's available anymore though. The versions that are being sold now either don't have Congo or don't have Congo/Soviets/Alph-Art so AFAIK none of them have the entire series.

Get them individually if your wallet can handle it. The art suffers from being shrunk down so much

>>89109385

Turns out op used my shelf pic for the thread.. the ones i have were purchased at wal-mart and hold up well, althoughhhh the only book i have of Omni-weight is Fear Agent and its on the end. But generally theyre a cheap and basic shelf... just look for something around 3-4 feet high, two or three shelves, adjustable pegs for the shelves, etc. theyre not terribly expensive.

Just don't make the mistake i did and if you want more than one get them all at once, i made the mistake of getting my second shelf a year after the first one and the second one was slightly taller, annoys the shit outta me.

It follow several lesser known DC heroes through individual adventures, week by week over the course of year within the DC universe. During the year in question Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are off the grid.

the gap between infinite crisis and everything else (every book except 52 had a timeskip directly after IC - 52 is what happens between it).

the main characters are ralph dibney, black adam, booster gold, and the question. each of their stories are self-contained but bleed into each other occasionally (think Seven Soldiers)

>>89119204
The 1st volume showed promise, 2 and 3 bored me but I feel obligated to finish out the series even though its ongoing, anyways I enjoyed most of my shelf including the bendis new avengers because it was before he fully went to shit. I'm just looking to expand my tastes as well so I'll read just about any medium

>>89119594
I read the Ditko book and when I got to the end; I started over and read it again.

To be fair to the guy, not everyone has the 6 feet of shelf space required.

>>89119838
why? what's wrong with it?

>>89119881
it's one of the best stories DC has ever released. and I mean ever. And that's actually something /co/ won't fight about and will agree 100% on.
Problem with the new trades and the Omni is that it doesn't have the weekly notes in it and they are fucking great. all writers remember their weekly sessions they had when they were writing it and how it got completely crazy sometimes and how they went a different way than how editorial wanted it. for fans, DC was everything done right with a weekly comic, for editorial it was a nightmare though, but who cares.

>>89115841

Rumble is great. Really fun read and interesting, as well. It's one of those that I've always caught the story times on /co/, but never actually owned. So, decided to rectify that. I definitely recommend it. The art is gorgeous, as well.

You won't regret Rumble. That's for sure. Harrow County is also one I've looked into, but haven't dived into just yet; I think my next "indie" book I'll be looking into is Old City Blues, since Volume. 1 and Volume. 2 can be picked up on Amazon right now for $25 together.

what's rumble about?

>>89128340

I read the first issue of Harrow County, then I faded out of comics for a good long while for no good reason. It was one of the best first issues I had read in a very long time. I'm eager to catch up with about 20 issues out now.

>>89119954
I'd genuinely advise getting the Hellboy Library Editions asap as they're selling on Amazon so sellers are starting to gouge people. I bought volume one for like £50 before Christmas and now the cheapest you could get a new one on their (at least on amazon uk) is £180. Also they're dope.

I just started collecting physical after ages of Comixology. I only have enough books for maybe 1/3rd of my shelf. Is there any real negative to stacking them horizontally instead of vertically? The only way I can stand them vertically is if I put something on the end, otherwise they fall over, and I really don't have anything decent to stick on the ends that doesn't look weird.

Damn, I wish I had more money and enough interest to get some neat replicas. I know there's a good Hellboy revolver replica and a couple different colonial marine pulse rifles. Could always start small and get Kabuki's mask.

I think my favorite mignolia thing is Guy Davis era BPRD.

>>89135536
>those mags on the bottom

Might as well put them on the floor.

>>89138397

Yeah i think about getting that shit as well, I'm a poorfag and at one point i realised... "hey i live in a small 1br apartment, even if i could buy those things where the fuck would i put/display them?"
It's also stopped me from buying lego sets i have no damn room for as well, theres no point having cool shit if its in a closet or in the case of lego, in a plastic tub in a closet.

>tfw trying to complete an OOP manga series

Found a guy on local adverts site selling vols. 1 and 10 of Cyborg 009 for pennies as opposed to the €30 they usually go for each.

I already have vol.1-6 so I'll prolly sell vol.1 to another collector

>>89139397
Yeah some of the middle Berserk stuff is OOP, I'm holding out hope that they will get around to doing three in one collections like Blade of the Immortal is getting right now

Really I just wish more manga got reprinted in a format that wasn't digest size. Like those big Akira volumes

>>89108193
I get a ton of floppies, but I'm cutting back due to the fact that they can't tell a story in a single issue anymore. I can get them cheaper in TPB form and by the time they are collected in TPB form I sit and actually think if I really want it or not, and therefore buy less and buy less shit.

Griping aside last month I found this Last Stand of The Wreckers red label for 15 goddamn American dollars, which is $110 less than the normal price if it was still in print. It's completely intact too as far as I can tell, the last owner didn't seem to keep any of the prints for themselves. Really made my day.

Fuck off his first Ultimate Spider-Man run was great.

>>89142746

Going by the spectrum in the comics just makes sense for me on my shelf.

Black and white on the sides feels weird, but eh it works.

>>89142971

It was great until he killed Peter and it became retarded. The Ultimate universe is pure frustration. I have most of it up to Ultimatum. Looking to sell it. I'll probably get dick for it.

>>89143018
Pretty sure the run I got ends at that exact moment anon, so your comment was basically unwarranted.

>>89142971
not really
probably the least interesting iteration of Spider-Man ever made

>>89142664
How is gundam origins, Is it just a retelling of 0079 or different?

>>89143054

It's still warranted, because that's still the ending. Still the next moment.

>>89143099
Agree to disagree I guess.

>>89143112

A much more detailed, usually more "realistic" retelling with a dense flashback midsection on the movements that lead to the OYW.

Very worth your time.

>>89143112
I love it. It's a retelling with some details changed and an expanded backstory/flashback portion for Char.

Anyone know exactly what Rebirth series are getting the deluxe two volume hardcovers?

>>89143149
I actually liked how he went out. Yeah it sucks that they killed him off but I don't think his death was terribly executed. Whatever opinions I guess.

>>89143201

I know GL is. Months from now. After the paperbacks.

I don't get the reasoning why to do this. Then again, in general I don't get hardcovers as a format. Just seem too thick for no discernible gain.

>>89143303
You mean Green Lanterns of Hal and the GLC?

HC's are fucking great if they're well made. They're alot easier to read than normal tpb since they hold themselves open. Only downside is you can't really read them while commuting/traveling.

>>89143406

Hold themselves open? I usually have the opposite problem where they slam closed if my fingers comes a bit loose.

The massive Bone paperback actually held itself open just fine.

And yeah, I meant the Hal book.

>>89143406
>>89143440

Additionally, in GL's case, the core book may always get hardcovers, but not Corps and so forth. I want my shelf to match dammit.

>>89143201
Speaking of Rebirth, the actual Rebirth Special has got a Deluxe Hardcover and Omnibus Hardcover, but no TPB release. Will it be getting released in TPB?

what's that?

>>89153929
Stick to BookDepository.

>>89154395
bookdepository is horrible as well if you buy single books or if you buy 2 or 3 and they have them in different stores they send them to you in envelopes and they are battered. don't buy from bookdepository if you can avoid it, really.
fucking odyssey with my K6BD.

>>89154413
I think you're confusing them with another store.

>>89154395
>>89154413

Yeah damaged books is what scares me. But which sellers do you recommend? Ones with good packing. What about BWB?

>>89154316
idk, man, not my collection. Someone else will answer but it looks like something with Tim Sale or Darwyn Cooke art, but I might be wrong

>>89154421
I ordered Kill 6 Billion Demons from them. They sent it in an envelope, it came in totally fucked, asked for a new one (they didn't want the old one back), "new" one arrived just as fucked ain an envelope. Asked for another one, they gave me a refund instead.
ordered 2 books, cue 2-different-stores procedure, arrived in envelopes, one arrived all right, the other one was battered, asked for a replacement, got replaced, yet again in an envelope but it survived.
never again.

>>89154468
BWB is all right, ordered a few comics off them, all of them arrived properly, they send in envelopes, too but their envelopes are better than those from bookdepository. (bit of padding inside)

>>89142531
Why not get Codename V Vol 2 as well? Would make sense to get it on the same haul.

Did the Doctor Strange omnibus go out of print this quickly?

IST doesn't have it listed anymore, and Amazon has it as out of stock. Most other places have it for over MSRP, so I'm assuming it ran OOP, but after only a few months?

>>89155352
either print numbers were low or a lot of people bought it. anyway, a lot of people were disappointed with it because it's so small.

>>89154421
nah he-s right. Book depository is kinda retarded. All their packaging sucks ass, sometimes books take 1 week, other times 3 weeks, its really retarded. Im from poortugal and one time a book came with a england stamp, a netherlands stamp, a france stamp and a spain stamp, took forever to arrive, came pretty fucked. But i guess they use the standard packaging all store use. Same shit with wordery, or kennys ou arts and crafts or bwb

>>89155570
nah, bwb use slightly better packaging, at least for HCs, bookdepository just put it in the same envelope type as a TPB. might as well just put the stamp on the book and send it like post card style.

>>89155768
>might as well just put the stamp on the book and send it like post card style

pretty much

>>89155205
Store didn't have it, but it's on the list.

>>89155115
>>89155570
>>89155768
Well, now I just dont know. Gonna stick to BWB, I guess, because their shipping to my country is only $3, even for omnibus or absolute. At least this is what they say. Still do not believe this, I think they will email me and ask for extra payment. But I will try.

And for statistics, where are you from? I want to see more examples of how they ship. I mean, international shipping is hell sometimes, but mostly because of bad packaging. Instocktrades packaging is great, for example, but their shipping price is huge for the foreigners. Like, $40 for the order of $50.

>>89155936
if you ordered via amazon it's a flat 3$/€3 rate anywhere as far as I know.

>And for statistics, where are you from?

I think that's the customs fee though which you don't have to pay if you ordered from shops inside the EU or via amazon and its marketplace sellers. you may have noticed the price rises for each product you put in your basket. I ordered from them a few months back and expected that I had to pick it up from German customs but it got delivered home directly after all and I noticed afterwards that the extra price for packaging was pretty much exactly the amount of money I would have had to pay at the customs office.

>>89158023

>>89155936
just do like the other anon said. Stick with amazon marketplace. For portugal i use co.uk or the spanish amazon. The shipping is all the same, for me in poortugal is like 5 € but the marketplace prices are always better then bookdepository and the others. I think you can even get better prices then instocktrades.
Just get an amazon account, create a wishlist, and check it everyday to see if the books you want change price. Sometimes in the marketplace, stores like BWB and Arts and Crafts compete each other for the lower price, so you see a book you want slowly going down in price as the stores take a few cents each time to get even with one another. Bare in mind that arts and crafts are kinda shitty store, ive bought many books from them but i always say its the last time. the really are dicks in terms of packaging. they sent me hellboy weird tale hardcover on a fucking paper envelope. not even kidding

>>89159750
They're not ridiculous on eBay yet. I'd hurry if you're interested and you can grab the full set for under 200 still. There's an auction up right now. I only need 3 and 4 in hardcover, which makes things a bit more annoying since the full set goes up more often than individual volumes.

Call me back when you're looking for the first volume of The Question or WITCH volume 8.

The only neat thing is a copy of Dream Logic a couple bucks under IST price. Other than that, it's just some common stuff I'm hoping that will fly under the radar so I can get a deal on, like a cheap copy of the Watchmen Deluxe edition. Somehow I've managed to not read it yet.

Also, seriously considering buying this bitch with part of my tax refund, but 200 is a lot of money.

>>89160103
I don't remember any glaring differences other than dropping the summary recap of Parts 1 and 2 page that softcovers have. I could take a look through and see when I get home.

For instance, this variant from BPRD 115. It's almost everything I want that's emblematic of early Hellboy. I'd love to have it on my wall, but just not happening.

Oh yeah, and that entire Year of Monsters set? I have it all. I think that would make a really neat grid on a wall, but every frame is tacky as possible.

>TFW I like the art of Ody-C but will never give it a shot because the author worked on the garbage that is Sex Criminals

>>89179502
But his Casanova comic is fucking great.

>>89179600

Five Fists of Science was hist best, and that feels so very long ago.

>>89167512
Hulk and Doctor Strange are good. Others are meh.

>>89179600
yeah shame about the 4 year hiatus between parts, eh? I don't have much faith in him completing all 7 parts without it deteriorating into tumblr-pandering garbage.

Sex Criminals has absolutely no idea where it is going. It kind of even has a remit by being about sexuality to include a spectrum of people but when it was like(both our leads have totes experimented because straight people dont exist) made me drop it. It feels puerile like it is expecting to shock me.

Learn to use parenthesis you dumb cunt.

>>89115841

Are those Moon Night collections pretty good?

>>89179016
wouldn't know, but check the recent win-o's for Justice League of America, they're currently digitalizing the bronze age stuff.

>>89179131
you know there are special combination-shops for painting and framing, right? it's going to cost you though.

>>89179131
>>89179171

Make your own frames how you want it. Go to the shop where they make it, there are some almost everywhere

>>89180025
>>89180034

I know there are custom shops. The shear expense is why I haven't bothered. I just figured there are enough comic book collectors to make a nice product probable. Instead there's jack shit.

>>89180292

I don't really see what the big deal is, i got some inexpensive frames at either Micheals, or Wal-mart i don't remember which now but they were about 15$ each, dark wood frame, suitable proportions for a comic with a bit extra room... you just mount them properly and they look decent

A ton better than those shitty plastic clamshell ones you can get at some comic shops

>>89180426

Those shitty ones are what I was talking about. They're tacky looking and really only good for a shop who uses it for product they want to flip.

I've checked Michaels before, I've just never had luck finding comic sized frames I guess.

The dark wood, is it really thick around the comic? That may be one I saw and I didn't like, not sure.

>>89181402

I've still got one that i havent put anything in yet in my closet, ill get it out of there and take a pic for you after i get back from lunch so you can get the brand and whatnot.

>>89182141
>literal lunch hour

>>89179346
I was duped into it by a friend.

This isnt going to be as helpful as i thought because turns out there is no brand on it, I'd bet i got them at wal-mart, and 5$ not 15$

The frame is actually wood, but painted i guess, and the dimensions are right, the backing is just a cardboard type deal but has a hanger thing..

Might have luck somewhere like Bed bath and beyond or homesense or a place like that as well.

really don't like them.
try finding some like these instead.

>>89184956

Then go to a fancy framing store and drop 200$ on a proper framing job I guess.

I don't have that kind of dosh

>>89185041
i bought a bcw frame that had a special mat that the bagged and boarded modern comic fit into.and had the local framing store dupe it five or six times. every time i want to frame a comic i take the spare mat and have them dup it some more.

looks like you don't love your comic books after all, might as well just rip off the covers and put them on your walls with band-aid or tacks or like posters.

>>89153808
yeah definitely. It's a big money spinner and Dark Horse know comic fans would be driven spare if they didn't match up.

>>89183698
Convince them to read some Kate Leth as revenge.

>>89185739

They should make it exactly the same as the rest but a deep Burgundy/Maroon colour instead of the brown

>>89185800
They have shit taste, they'd probably like it.
I loaned him Preacher and All-Star Superman and he hated them so he's probably beyond saving.

>>89185907
Genau

>>89185944
Well at least they'll be the among the first ones lined up behind the chemical sheds when the revolution comes.

>>89185944

Try Hellboy or Spiderman 2099.... if they don't like that you should probably just take them out back to the garden shed and put a bullet behind their ear.

>>89182141

Thanks sir.

>>89184720

Yeah you clearly got the job done, and if this is good for your wall that's fantastic. But these have a LOT of dead space for a comic. That kind of thing would bother me every time I look at the frame. Oh well.

Really thanks for the look and idea though.

>>89187035

well you can always mat them with something or have a diff color card stock behind it, if youre looking for something exactly comic dimensions though it could be tricky....>>89185129 found something alot better than mine but its got the same sort of space around the book and costs 10x as much

>>89187035
AC Moore always has a custom framing coupon if you wanna give them a shot. But it honestly might be your best option to have a print shop print the art at a slightly higher size if that won't look terrible, and assuming it's the art and not the comic itself you want to display. One more option might be to compromise and put two comics together in a frame. It might be easier to find something that size. my brother has some framed record cases, so they do make frames in weird sizes.

There are options if you think more creatively, is all I'm saying.

Bumperino.

>>89187181
i like the way matting makes it look all professional and such. and there are frames where you see nothing but the comic itself

Thanks for not bidding on the shit I'm looking at on eBay. Just got the first absolute Sandman for 30 bucks.

>>89191241
Wow. Nice fucking job, Anon! (volume 6 onwards is trash)

>>89191342
volume 6 of the Absolutes, or the comic itself? Because that's what, halfway? I though Sandman was always hailed as a masterpiece, seems off that it would fall apart halfway through.
