>Luther Strode: The Complete Series Hardcover – October 17, 2017

>>91297676
I always ignored Luther Strode, now I looked up what it's about and feel I should have started reading it earlier. Just going to order that HC now and not spoiling myself until it arrives.

>>91297676
Hell yeah. One of the few series I'll gladly double dip on.

>>91297676
Never read it, what's good about it?

>>91295612
>Blacksad

My african american friend

>>91298570
>The series focuses on Luther Strode, a skinny Teenager who lives with his mother. One day he orders a Charles Atlas analog, the Hercules Method, which grants him great muscle mass, supernatural reflexes and violent tendencies. The creators wanted the story to come of more as a Slasher styled horror film mixed with Spider-Man if Peter Parker didn't have Uncle Ben as a moral anchor.

>>91298570
The art carries it completley. Writing wise, only part 1 was cool.

>>91297676
What price?
I've gotten a boner for complete series omnibi lately.

>>91299312
depends where you buy it. €44.,23 on amazon.de, £44.99 on amazon.co.uk, $40.20 on amazon.com

>>91299077
Agreed. The writing in part 3 was pretty bad in particular.

Still worth it, though. I might storytime it later.

Two weeks worth of my standing order, a little raid of the back issue boxes and a cheeky TPB while I was there.

Trying not to let autism get the better of me with Giant Days. Trades are up to #16, so I just need to grab #17-19 and #23-24 now so I can catch up, NOT every single issue.

>>91300487

Nice, I finally grabbed vol 2 at the weekend. Was impossible to find at a decent price for ages.

>>91300487

damn it those collections look so fucking terrible, I mean the way it's bound/glued/whatever. I got the Punisher MAX complete editions and the first Conan Omnibus by Dark Horse and it's the exact same.

>>91301719

Aye, they're not great books, which is why I was never going to pay full price for them. They're not going to fall to bits in your hands or anything though, so still worth a punt at the right price.

My birthday is right around the corner, and my wife loves buying me omnis. I will have no shelf space by summer.

Wait what the shit when did Promethee get a HC release and where can I get one?

>>91297463

Stacking up on Jiroguchi? I'm hoping Summit of the Gods is released in a nice hardcover like A Distant Neighbourhood one day, actually just thought you should know that is also going out of print too. The new hard cover release.

Nichijou is also finished soon right? I'm five volumes behind.

My pick ups:
Aqua Man #17, #19 and #20
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #16 and #17
Harbinger Renegades #4

I was lucky to get the Landscape when Simon put out the last copies last week but I've gotten so stupid that I messed up with the time zones so I missed the second and last batch of Portrait. Been salty all day because of it.

maybe buy new shelves instead?
If you're missing (floor-)space for shelves, think about these:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S89920694/

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50282182/

you'd have to check for yourself if your books actually fit into that though.

Not necessarily /co/-related, but I ordered the first six volumes of the Skull Man manga and plan to grab volume seven next time I hit up the used book store.

I have A Distant Neighborhood already. I still need to pick up A Zoo in Winter (if I can every find it for cheap) and The Ice Wanderer. And yeah, I think Nichijou is supposed to finish this year. There are 10 volumes as well as a single volume of Helvetica Standard.

I need y'all's advice on my shelfing.
I just unboxed all my books after moving, and I want to know what you guys feel is best way to organize.

Company/Character (all Batman then all Superman then all WW and then etc) which could LOOK most unorganized not to mention some of the books are company crossovers.
Genre (all horror then all comedy then all superhero etc) which brings in how mixed do I make some of the Marvel/DC capes and some genres are too small like Western or Romance.
Pure Alphabetical? Which would have event stuff like Infinite Crisis Preludes far away from their proper order?

Last time I had them all a Frankenstein mix or organization that had me going "Is American Vampire in Horror or Vertigo? Why is my Batmanga with the Dark Horse manga??"
So I know I need to stick with something, but idk which.

>>91309231
How thick are those Marvel Firsts and Age of Apocalypse companion?
Like we're they a good bang for the buck?

>>91310012
They were pretty cheap from third party sellers on Amazon. I just checked and they're still pretty good prices. The 90's one is just a bunch of #1 issues collected, and the Age of Apocalypse one is basically anything that wasn't in the first omni.

>>91309966

I have no idea, the best way I find is doing it whatever way that it annoys me the least, which in my case is sectioning it by publisher, then characters/series/whatever.

It not being in alphabetical order by author or something doesn't bug me

>>91312097
>which in my case is sectioning it by publisher, then characters/series/whatever.
i do mine like this as well. though with manga I find it easier to organize purely by author.

Any of you from last thread still waiting on your IST orders? Just making sure I'm not alone.

>>91309966

This was probably the most I spend on any Calvin & Hobbes book at a whopping buck 40.

>>91309966
I gave up long ago and just find places they can fit. It used to be by company, the alphabetical order by character or event, etc. I don't have that in me anymore. I try to keep characters/series together but that's where the real organization ends.

Maybe give a free CBR glance at SheWolf or Kennel Block Blues?

What is your opinion of those UK reprints of Marvel's TPB? At least in my experience they seem to be better than the original American ones, because of the quality of the paper. The spines look like shit though.

Vision and Howard The Duck are fucking great, though, as was Rachel Rising. Haven't read the two mini's yet. And I got the first ish of the new Doom Patrol which I kind of liked. Has anyone peeled off the burrito (surely a blatant nod to the Velvet Underground and Nico album)?

Its a Gyro, and yes its just a swirly psychadelic coloring behind it, i left mine on but saw it online.

Doom Patrol has been really good btw, its just unfortunately getting delayed a bit, i think theyre going to release it in chunks with hiatuses in between. Kinda like some Image books.

>>91330429
Sorry, yeah, it's a giro, beg pardon.

I think I'll continue with it, that first issue was an impulse buy 'cause I liked the art and had a dozen or so issues of Morrison's old run (it was the arc with the conscious painting that was eating Paris, or something), ended up really enjoying it.

And The Flintstones has just been a pure fucking revelation for this most pretentious of pretentious hipsters....

Actual storybook by Paul Dini and Alex Ross.
It's sort of in a children's book style with narration in corners and artwork taking up most of the pages.
If I remember right there's a Batman and a Superman one out there like it, too.

>>91337582
All the art for the main story is done by Tradd Moore. There are some backups done by other people though.

I have just finished organizing something over 40 longboxes. It took two weeks of on and off work. I wish for death.

Anyone know what the Kingdom Come absolute looks like? I think I had read somewhere that the art looked awful blown up

>>91340694

I've heard it looks blurry, like they were shitty prints. Absolute Justice looks great though.

>>91340694
I've got a copy I bought back in '08 and it's looks perfectly fine aside from the fact that it had a splotch of water spilled inside the first two pages that made the print peel a small bit. It was practically new and I bbought it for $15 off of a friend who didn't want it anymore after he dropped it and dinged the top of the spine in an insignificant manner.

Still waiting for Annihilation Conquest and Fantastic Four Vol 1-3 Omnis. Should arrive within the next 2 weeks (at least that's what the guy from cheap-comics said) so you won't have to look at the Mein Kampf and the Quran any more.

>>91343972
Yeah, a movie where Roland is black, they skip straight to the ka-tet being together and is set entirely in New York.
Also stop making me feel bad for not having all that Green Lantern.
Sure is gonna be everything we loved about the Dark Tower.

>>91343984
invest around €170 and you can have it as well, it's on sale on cheap-comics. you just gotta check how much you'll have to pay for shipping. cheap for me, maybe expensive for you.

>>91344065
But I've got other stuff to buy. No matter what I get I always feel like I barely got anything at all since there's still so much more.

I know that feel though, but it goes away as soon as your shelves are full and you don't have any room for expansion any more.

>>91344145
Just increased my shelf space by 50% so that's gonna be another year easily.
So anyway how is Dark Tower as a comic? I never tried it.

>>91344164
wouldn't know. as I said it was the free book choice (out of shitty choices) so I took that.

>>91344413
Ah.

>>91343972
Also I forgot to mention that cheap-comics properly package their goods. nice padding (not IST tier, but still very good, with a lot of paper stuffed inside and all comics are put into an extra plastic foil so they are pressed against each other and can't bop around).
bump

>>91343983
>All these hardbacks and same style omnibuses
If I was a patient man this is how I'd want my shelf to be.
Instead I keep buying stuff when I can, be it paperbacks or hardbacks used and on sale or a story I thought I had the first couple volumes of so I buy 4-6 cause they're on clearance.

>>91344089
I remember when I started downloading comics and reading them a LOT more.
Every week I'd list like 30-50 comics a WEEK I had interest in.
And back then I only had maybe $20-40 a month to spare, so I could never bring myself to buy floppies and instead did 2 trades a month tops.

>>91346383
Where ya throw them when ya upgrade?
Half-price/used book store to make back a few pennies?
Local Library?

Cause I kinda wanna clean up my books and if Library goes smoothly I'd prolly do that.

>>91344145
What I find more the case now is that I have stuff on the way, and stuff I haven't read, and stuff I'd like to go back and reread.

>>91346436
I work in a hotel, we kind of opened up a library which my boss started, but most of the books nowadays originally belonged to me, last time I counted it was around 70. All of them TPBs, most of them fantasy/science-fiction novels which I gradually upgraded to HCs or which I had spare ones (from collection book sales on ebay and stuff).
No one's actually reading them though and they're just collecting dust, so I thought about donating them to the local library, which is seriously lacking in English books.
Comic-wise, I got a spare copy of LoSH Secret Origin, 2x Kill Six Billion Demons (they both got damaged but Bookdepository didn't want them sent back), GLC Recharge (since that's in the Omni) and Punisher Presents: Barracuda (which is in the Punisher MAX collections)

Question time:
What is the ONE comic that every collection must have?
>inb4 Watchmen

>>91347768
DC The New Frontier.

>>91347768
that one OOP comic that I have and you don't.

I've been on a Popeye kick lately - I finally caved and bought the last three Fantagraphics hardcovers (finding Volume 5 took some doing - it's the only one that's OOP for some reason, and Amazon Marketplace is full of the usual absurd pricegouging) and the IDW Bobby London trades, which are WAY heavier than I thought they'd be.

My new LCS is going to bankrupt me. Went back again today.

Grabbing my books from my old one before I moved was a chore because the aisles were so narrow and it was always packed with people. This one is nice and open and the staff aren't fucking miserable all the time. A 30 second chat about Omega Men and some free sleeves while checking out makes for a far better experience than a grunt and having your comics shoved awkwardly into a bag fucking up the corners.

There's a signing for Kim Reaper at the weekend, but I've never been too arsed about signed stuff so not sure whether I'll head into town for it or not.

Sorry for the amount of questions but you have some things i'm interested in.

How's X23 and Nyx?
How's Starfire?
How are those Batgirl and Supergirl books?

>>91341371
90s X-Men, Wildstorm, basically the biggest dude at Dc now

who could even compete?

>>91352479
>who could even compete?
Bendis

>>91352479
Why, Rob Liefeld of course.

>>91352645
Bendis?

>>91351098

I think Nyx is really underrated, just disappointing it was only the two short runs. Feels like there was more that could have been done with it.

Both X-23 miniseries are great and the 2010 ongoing is even better. The collections are fine, but lack her time in Academy X/New X-Men which is one of her better runs, and is OOP at the moment. To be fair, that is a fantastic run that happens to have X-23 as part of the ensemble, she's not the selling point for it.

I've not actually read Starfire yet.

For Batgirl, I really like the slightly dodgy hipster version from the later half of the New 52 run. It's a bit cringey in places, but it's a fun book. The Cassandra Cain books are better on the whole, but I was never entirely sold on Cass as a lead rather than a sidekick. It's better written, but I prefer Babs as a protagonist.

I'm a massive Supergirl mark so probably biased, but I really like all those runs. The New 52 one is different, and Kara is super angsty throughout, but it goes in some interesting directions. Red Lantern Kara is a highlight of the entire New 52 for me.

The Peter David version is my favourite overall, so glad it's back in print. I've got vol 2 in the post to go with that vol 1 there.

The other run there is the weakest of the 3. It's not bad, but I'm not a fan of the art, and it's a pretty bland take on the character. It's fine if you just want more Supergirl. The Superman/Batman arc it spun out of is better than anything in the solo series.

>>91352890
Yes, Brian Michael Bendis.

>>91352645
I think 90's X-Men was more significant than USM
although Bendis did help develop Max titles, but those also mostly sucked ass

>>91352877
he kinda burned out too fast, Lee's influence on modern art is way more evident

>>91350244
read the other rich tomasso stuff like dark corridor too, also look up kilgore and retrofit and 2dcloud

>>91352479
Jack Kirby

>>91352999
>I think 90's X-Men was more significant than USM
Clearly. USM is a retread with glacial pacing middle of the road to shit art art. It's slow, safe and ultimatly forgettable.

>>91352920
Thanks for the reply.

Think i'm going to order some Supergirl.

>>91337455
Judging from amazon reviews there seems to be a disagreement over this issue and the proper reading order.
Iirc, the crossovers are largely seperate narratives going on at the same time as the main event but still their oen thing. In which case, no big deal.
It does end with "Who Will Rule"

I am waiting for the Road to the War of Kongs omni to get here from IST before I re-read the cosmic stuff.

I thought it really increased pace and readability during New Krypton and towards its end (before New52 hit). Especially Gates' stuff was pretty nifty. Also the Nick Spencer controversy always gives me a hard-on.

What're you reading, /shelf/?
I'm doing Buisick Avengers.
A little too much Wanda and Justice.

>>91356472
started reading GL omni vol 2, still got Mystery in Space (the mid 2000 Captain Comet series by Starlin) not done yet and reading up on New52 towards Rebirth (still stuck in 2011 though).
watching walkthroughs of Breath of the Wild and Mass Effect Andromeda is taking its toll.

This is year three.

>>91356472
Grant Morrison's Animal Man

>>91355014
You're gonna have a lot of fun catching up on nu52 Action Comics, not sure about the Diggle run tho. Also you should've bought the Superman: Doomed crossover paperback insead of the Action Comics Superdoom book.

I really want to get into Cosmic Marvel but holy fuck the printing schedule of these Omnibuses are fucking dumb, they released Realm of Kings and Annihilation Conquest and are just not releasing War of Kings Prelude, I don't understand Marvel...

>>91347768
Daredevil: Born Again or Batman: Year One. Just for the Mazuchelli art

>>91347768
All Star Superman, mostly just for Frank Quitely's amazing panel layouts.I also second >>91357540
with Batman: Year One, Mazuchelli is amazing, but try to find a printing that has the old colors and not the new ones.

>>91357504
Yeah, but get them while they're around, War of Kings is out of stock at IST already.

>>91357716
still available on cheapgraphicnovels.com

>>91357870
Oh, yeah, you can still get it, but IST told me they were not able to restock as it was no longer available to them. I'd think it rather likely to vanish altogether pretty soon.

>>91358299
yeah but my point was that you can still get it on sites other than IST.

I'd imagine if out of print it's prolly triple digits now.

>>91355014
Solid.
I've read and kept up with 90% of DC since Rebirth, but have only bought like 2-5 trades of their stuff from this decade.

I feel like such a shit.

>>91358916
I own everything rebirth wise, except the Rebirth HC and Monster Men HC (hoping for trades of both), but I'm missing a lot of trades of N52 and DCYou, so that's what I'm working on getting together now.

>>91356472
Catching up on my recent purchases.

Literally just finished Power of the Dark Crystal and God Country while waiting for dinner.
Gonna read Monster Hunter Flash Hunter Vol7 later tonight and finally get around to my Flintstones I've been eyeing since Thursday.

>>91358985
She's mine now. She refused to go home and barked at the owner when he got too close to me. It's some weird shit.

>>91358875

I got it for Xmas this past year, so it's probably still available, the books are all hardcover but theyre smaller, so if you have vision problems or want the art full size theres better ways to collect it.

I just like having all the stories i used to take out of the school library constantly as a kid, even if theyre smaller (easy to take with you somewhere though)

>>91342886
That's fucking cheap for an Absolute. With the IST discount it'll be less than $40.

>>91359629

Ok I'm gonna need a bit of context, are you stealing someone elses dog or not? lol.

>>91359629
dogs take a liking to people. sometimes with reason, sometimes for no seeming reason.

i remember once when i had to walk i walked by this house everyday to work and this guy accused me of using his dog to get with his girlfriend because his dog would follow me home and shit.

gee dumbass why would a dog showing obvious signs of not being fed, follow home a nice fellow who shows it kindness and when it follows him home feed it and then call it's owner to come get him

>>91359882
No, he asked me to keep her after she made it clear that she missed me. She really did snap at him when he tried to give me a hug, though. She is a crazy fucking dog.

Buisick Avengers is like 20% flashbacks and retcons.

>>91361613

It does episode long gags that build to one punchline better than anything. The last scenes of May The Force Be With You or A Losing Streak are TV gold.
