Only picked up my floppies. Feel like trade waiting some more DC Rebirth titles, how are the following? New Superman, Green Arrow and King's Batman. Was also curious on Shade The Changing Girl and Wild Storm. Those are the main ones I'm interested in trade waiting.

And as someone who is enjoying Abnett's Aqua Man is his Titan's book worth picking up?

Recently picked up:
The Walking Dead #168 x 3(+ Pride variant)
Cannibal #5 and #6
Aqua Man #23 and #24
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #20 and #21

Grabbed Green Lantern Agent Orange for the hell of it

>>93094345
New Super-Man is genuinely the best book DC has, Green Arrow doesn't have that good of a story but fantastic art, Batman is just dumb almost indefensible
Titans is bland as f, not worth Booth's crap pencils

picked up the newest Shade the Changing Girl, Reborn and Nova

>>93094272
How's Habibi? I enjoyed Blankets and I'm thinking about picking it up.

>>93094438
I like it way more than Blankets

I wonder if they will reprint the Micheline/McFarlane one

>>93094973
>>93095123
Yeah, that book is just a in-depth character and epidoes guide for the old animated series.
There are collections of the mini-comics and newspaper strips.

>>93095197
I'd like that. Truthfully, it would've made sense to have that and the Spider-Man by Todd McFarlane omni as one book.

>>93095257
Yeah. I'd like that too. I prefer Larsen over McFarlane, though.
I'm reading the third Stan Lee era omni right now. It's so good. I'm going to be legitimately sad when it's over.

I read through all 3 of the ASM omnis, and the Goblin's Last Stand Epic Collection a few weeks back. It really cemented how Spider-Man and FF were the flagship Marvel series. Really top tier stuff.

Fell out buying comics for a while. Wanted to avoid buying a sword. B&N had these for 10 bucks each. Also, the Rebirth border borderline triggers me because it doedn't look good with the other comics on my shelf. Now I have to buy the following trades for the sense of unity. Thanks DC.

>>93094503

they did and i believe theyre still relatively available or still in print but they only collected the first...3 tpb? (cuz fuck collectors, right?)

Also the sweet SHFSS Kuuga Amazing Mighty.

>>93096920
Slick shelf. And I'm really jealous of that complete Phoenix.

>>93096992

Surely there's a better solution to this? Clearly there's not a big market for reprints of 80s and 90s longform runs this niche, so why don't they just do small print runs instead?

I've ordered Wasteland vol.1 but chances are that'll be dropped halfway too

I'm concerned that even Mark Waid's Flash will get dropped before it finishes. The relatively slow pace/small-ish size means it will take quite some time to complete.

Dark Knight, Dark City fucked me up. I bought the last two issues off a comic stand in a grocery store since Riddler was on one of them. I open the first book to see Batman performing a tracheotomy on an infant because Riddler had willingly put a ping pong ball or something down his throat.

>>93098035

Maybe I'm just high but... Preorders? like announce whats coming out take pre-orders like what happens already but delay the printing so its like paying for a book in advance and getting it a month later?

Yeah The HC's are definitely better. I had no issues with it. It got a little frustrating trying to read the first few issues and the last ones in the compendiums.

>>93100115
Some other anon in another thread mentioned he got really good conditions on trades and reprints in his original contracts with DC, so much so that it wouldn't be profitable at all for them and he is unwilling to renegotiate.
Not mad at Ostrander, you gotta take a stance.

that's why I picked up the Kirby/Lee omnis plus Annihilation Conquest. WE WUZ KANGZ omnis should be on their way, now you get why I want Annihilation back, too.
But I don't think it will happen, because most of Annihilation is based on characters that are not usable in movies by Marvel (Silver Surfer, Galactus etc) so they won't reprint them.

Depends where you order. if you are American, get them from instocktrades, they're at 2x$68.50 and 1x$62.50.
If you are European, get them from cheap-comics.com (watch the shipping fees though, they can be quite hefty if you live in the wrong country, so if you do, order in bulk), they are at around €65 a piece if the price hasn't changed.

what pisses me off most is that they haven't even reprinted Annihilation yet at all. neither as Epic collection, nor as Essential, just nothing. And especially after the GOTG movies were such a huge success it should be clear that there is a demand. maybe they solely base it on New GOTG and Nova (Bendis and Loeb stuff) instead of the "old" ones (kinda funny to say "old" to something from 2008), but the fact that James Gunn explicitely thanked Abnett and Lanning in the GOTG 2 credits should already have given them a hint and I hope they're scrambling to reprint it instead of trying to push the new shit.

or if they used thinner paper. not to shill anything by Marvel but the thinner paper really did them good without any suffering in printing quality. the "you can see the printing of the other side through the page" complaints are a myth or an early try.

>>93112112
Totally agree. The older Marvel omnis are nice, but unnecessarily heavy. I sold my Simonson Thor, because it was pretty much unreadable- I mean aside from the 500 pages of shitty Sal Buscema art.

Thanks anon, it means a lot to us. This is an extremely old pic, the little shit laying down on the books was Harley, she was a pain in the assignment because no matter what you just couldn't stay mad at her because she was so fucking cute with her tiny ass head.

>>93112011
I'm not sure how it's split up actually. I think it's the original story. There is a second one that I think is more of a short story collection. And a third one coming out that is two issues. All there are new print HCs with new translations and are from Titan Comics so you can get them on Amazon fairly cheap.

I live in Santa Rosa, Ca and Charles M Schulz is huge here, there are like around 40 different snoopy and Charlie Brown statues around town painted by different artist, a museum about his work, and I think the local ice skating place is known as Snoopy's ice arena. I've never read his work but I might want to check it now

What did they mean by this?
The omni seems to have gone OOP.

>>93117629
Neal Adams personally redraws and re-inks his work to have a consistency throughout it all past and present, DC isn't to blame, it's Adams himself.

>>93117439
Santa Rosa CA? I live about 40 miles from there, Outer Planes used to be the closest comic shop around until the one in Clover Cinemas opened a year or two back. And yeah, those Charlie Brown statues are everywhere, they even have a few in Windsor.

I have the Neal Adams Batman Omni, I was disappointed that it wasn't the original art, but its still an enjoyable read.

Adams is a weird guy though, how many other artists casually sell artwork on their sites for $35,000
http://www.nealadamsstore.com/Batman-Teeenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Painted-Cover-by-Neal-Adams_p_1359.html

>>93118039
The shop is called 'Readers of the Lost Art' and is located inside Clover Cinemas. And yeah, the owner is based as fuck, I used to work in that cinema when I was in high school, but we got shut down by our chain Cinema West. Then like five years later this guy shows up from New York, buys the building out and is now running the place independently.

>>93118116
Sounds like a great place to hang out

>>93118196
The lobby was basically cut in half when they remodeled the place to make room for the comics, but back when I was working there that lobby was THE place ro hang out with me and my friends, everyone else hung out at the million dollar train station that's never seen a train.

Is that new 52 Aquaman omni ever coming out?

>>93118236
Are the trains running that far yet? Santa Rosa guy here, they are still testing them and haven't given a launch date, I want to check out that shop anon, never knew cloverdale had a comic shop. Maybe when the trains go there I'll check it out.

>>93118318
I don't think it was ever actually solicited, hopefully they are just saving it for the movie release or something.

>>93118236
Places like these are so important for a neighborhood to have. That's a pretty damn good way to promote comics, too.
>Did you enjoy Wonder Woman? Well come check out some of the comics in the lobby.

>>93117629
recolor really looks worse. Neal Adams' style was so much better back then.

>>93118346
I fucking wish the trains were running this far, never been on one before, been on a plane and a boat and most other forms of travel, but never a train. And it's been like 15 years since the money was spent on that damn station.
>>93118415
Aye, this is also a double edge sword though, it was here that the green text story of the lcs clerk pushing New 52 Suicide Squad over Ostrander's because New 52 has Harley in it occurred. But you are very very correct.

>>93118592
I remember that story ha! .....Damn I'm on this board to much.

>>93118697
When the kid said "Harley is a founding member of the Suicide Squad" I damn near lost my shit, and this is while I'm buying Ostrander, I would have forgiven him had he said something like the art isn't as good or its not as modern as New 52, but his whole selling point was Harley Quinn. I don't give a damn about Harley, give me some Nightshade, or Dutchess.

For me, the most baffling part are the changes in lettering. I get an artist wanting to go back and 'correct' their early work, even if I disagree.

Yes, that makes sense.

>>93121020
Elektra's too much of a DD character for me to put her anywhere but with the rest of the Miller Omnis.
Shang-Chi, on the other hand, was only involved with around half of the Deadly Hands stories. I do go back on forth on whether I should file his series under 'Shang-Chi' or 'Master of Kung Fu'. It was only ever published under MoKF, but his name still shows up on all the covers.

I haven't read Sheriff yet, because i already read a ton of crime/real world based stuff, but Vision and Omega Men are fantastic.

imo King should focus on telling 12 issue stories in Batman, but DC probably without question wants him doing 5/6 issue arcs because of tpb sales... He just seems like the kind of writer that does well with having his stories plotted out to a certain amount of issues and the typical arc doesn't really give him enough breathing room.

>>93121807
I really, really liked The Vision (and I very rarely buy modern capeshit AT ALL). His Batman is fucking shit though, that last (current?) arc with Catwoman and Bane and that;urgh, awful

>>93122082

>>93122435
>>93122447
Agreed, his Batman is shit and I hope his other work is better. I get the feeling that he only accepted Batman because it's a cash cow and for name recognition, so he can work on stuff he actually gives a shit about. Mister Miracle looks bretty gud.

Have any of you ever made your own shelves? I was thinking of making my own. I know they won't be as pretty as store bought book shelves, but I'll have my own hand made shelves.

>>93122876
>Mister Miracle looks bretty gud.

Indeed it does.. and I think he'd do better on Batman if he was able to do the longer arcs that Snyder was able to (I know i think i sound crazy too), like the Owls storyline and Zero Year.

He's a guy of big ideas and while some of the Batman run is actually good and fun he's getting stuck writing alot of short plot arcs or 1 shots, that Swampy issue was fuckin great though.

I've got capeshit in my collection, lots of it, I don't like most of the modern stuff . And I suppose you could be plebby and not read capeshit...pretty sure I'm not, though. I like to think I have a pretty catholic collection--and that's without going into all my longboxes
>>93125844
Yeah, you missed the part where I said modern or contemporary.

Last time I saw this many marvel Omni's it was in the BG of a porno

>>93126963
...and that feeling is?...completely depleted of semen at all times, I presume

Actually, have Marvel put out an Omni of the original Secret Wars 1 and 2? I loved that fucking debacle as a little kid. I would buy it for the lels, definitely

>>93127072
Yeah, they did both, but they're oop.
Silver/Bronze age Marvel omnis are hard for me to say no to.

>>93127212
Psht, fuck's sake. I loved that comic. I still have a bunch of the Marvel UK reprints but since they were bundled with other stories (and the mags were pretty thin) I don't have that much of the story--2, I mean--and they were weekly as well. I think Sue Storm in that fucking John Byrne-drawn spiky bondage-type get-up was my first sexual reaction to anything, ever, hah.
I guess I'll be sticking to my pretentious hipster garbage, then...

How is that Squadron Supreme omni? And find the Man-Thing omni to go with the Howard omni.

>>93130351
It's pretty hit or miss. I love the miniseries and some of the follow ups, but I hate Quasar in general. The Busiek stuff is fine, reading the Exiles really drives home that you're smack dab in the middle of an unrelated storyline, and ending with Loeb/Land Ultimate Power is so pointless.

And I very much want to grab some oversized Man-Thing

You can never have too much Man-Thing.

Also, recent purchases from the last 2 weeks. The Sandman is a printing from 95 with the original coloring.

Is that killer kaiju monsters a comic or kinda biography with pictures?

>>93123283
I'm aware that they're out of print, but have always hoped I'll find something in a used bookstore one day. When it comes to matching books, I'm not very picky beyond books printed within the past half dozen years or so, and I expect I'll eventually break and just mismatch.

>>93124780
>kek. why would people think you're a girl if you have wonder woman and arrow comics? i was under the impression that guys read those comics more than girls did.
Fuck if I know why, but it's happened maybe three times in shelf threads over the years, so I've taken to posting this disclaimer. I like Wonder Woman because I'm a filthy cape fan and fantasy comics fan, and her stories often combine the two; Arrow, because I'm a filthy watcher of cape /tv/, and thought Season 1 Felicity was interesting.

>>93131744
yes

>>93132545
It was $100 new.

>>93132820
A collection of art, history, toys, biology, etc. Not a comic but I had to pick it up, especially for $2.50.

>>93134062
I'm jelly. I need more kaiju variety in my shelf. At the moment all I got is Monster Hunter and Godzilla stuff. And the first one doesn't really count.

>>93133838
You could have gone to any used book store and bough 20 copies of Mammoth Book of Zombie comics and give 19 away to libraries.

>>93134251
Or they could by what they want without giving a fuck what others think.

>>93134233
As do I. I only have one Godzilla related book and I initially bought it because it was by Art Adams.

>>93132880

I don't get why those are so rare to see on /co/ but they are phenomenal books. I enjoyed them more than Sandman (though I haven't read all of that yet).

I'm going to make one this summer. Going to make drawers for floppies and a door for soft covers that will allow two rows of books. I'm probably over complicating it but fuck it, my time and if I want to over complicate it why not.

So I was at the library and I read some Usagi Yojimbo. The artwork is very appealing to me and seeing books like>>93095778 makes me very interested, as I'm a slut for big books. The problem I had was that the story kind of felt half-assed (it was the one with the War of the Worlds aliens in it).
So how good is Usagi Yojimbo on the whole?

128KB, 600x796px

I was going to order all 4 Kabuki Library edition's from amazon but read one review that said it was skewed art to fit the new format. Is it only Circle of Blood that is skewed? Cause that is a different format than all the stuff that came after. If it's just that one that is skewed I'd still buy it cause I own Circle of Blood anyway but I understand why people wouldn't want that, perfect circles are a very important part of that book. But that kind of stuff doesn't matter much in the later books like Dreams and Metamorphosis that is much more abstract.

If I should avoid that printing what is the best ones to buy?

I like art books paired d with prose so Forgotten looks interesting. It was a Heavy Metal published book so might be good

>I don't get why those are so rare to see on /co/ but they are phenomenal books.
The Books of Magic are criminally underloved, and I feel that Sandman overshadowing them is almost wholly to blame.

>>93130002
I read it, thought it was pretty good. I liked the Faryl Dalrymple art but the Gary Panter stuff in there was the best. Hah, shoulda got him to draw the whole issue....

>>93138954
If you liked what you read so far I'd say dive in. I mean I like it okay but it's not something that I, personally, would spend money on.

>>93141206
I can't fap to Sunstone. I could if it was just the fetish pics he made before making it a story. But now i am too engaged in the characters. They are sexy as hell but no desire to fap to them...i want to know the story

Emptied my top-shelf, threw out all the shit I was stacking there (mostly old/useless folders, old MS-DOS games without their CDs/floppies and stuff.
What I'm going to sell on ebay soon is:
>Showcase Presents: Adam Strange
>Showcase Presents: The Legion of Super-Heroes vol 1-5 (because fuck showcases when there's the omnis incoming)
>War of Kings + Realm of Kings HCs + X-Men: Rise and Fall of the Shiar Empire
>Punisher Presents: Barracuda (already in the Punisher MAX collection
>Green Lantern Corps: Recharge (already in the first GL omni)
>spare copy of Legion: Secret Origin (not pictured)
>spare copy of Kill Six Billion Demons (slightly damaged, not pictured)
>Legion of Super-Heroes: The Beginning of Tomorrow (it's completely in Legionnaires Book One

Got incoming:
>WE WUZ KANGZ Omnis (Prelude, War and Realm) from Books etc soon™
>Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 1 HC probably arriving mid July
>Adam Strange: The Silver Age Omnibus probably arriving in early August
>Legion of Super Heroes: The Silver Age Omnibus probably arriving mid-August
>Conan Omnibus Volume 3: Ancient Gods and Sorcerers probably arriving late August

And I just noticed I put the Legionnaires books before the Vol 2 trades, will fix that off-screen.
And yes, that shelf is bolted to the wall so there is no risk of it falling forward with Omnis stacked in the top shelf. Also it's actually a shelf for stacking tools and shit so it's sturdy as fuck.

>>93143262
Are the Conan omnibuses good? I've picked up the smaller trades, but I'm curious about upgrading.

>>93095412
One More Year is a fucking scam. There's no point putting Worst Behavior in there, it's not even rare. Is there even any new material in there?

>>93143373
The omni binding is extremely cheap (they're just big trades, mind you, not HCs), pretty much like those Marvel Ultimate Collections/Complete Collections. I'm going to collect them all but if you can get your hands on the HCs cheaply then take them instead, dunno about the quality of the trades.
The omnis collect 3 trades. From the whole original Dark Horse series with all its derivatives and follow-up-series (Conan, Conan the Cimmerian/Avenger/Slayer/King Conan/Road of Kings) there's probably going to be 30+ trades, maybe even 40 so that's at least 10-12 omnis.
The paper is fine by the way, it's just the binding that's a concern to me, but €22 for the equivalent of 3 trades is just unbeatable.

>>93143600
>there's probably going to be 30+ trades, maybe even 40

I don't know how much you are into reading ripped comics (I can imagine since we are all buyfags that there are quite some people here who don't pirate at all), but the trades vol 00-17 are available in digital form in the archives.
Look up the names of the trades then search for "Conan v17 - Shadows Over Kush http" for example.

like this:
http://desuarchive.org/co/search/text/Conan%20v17%20-%20Shadows%20Over%20Kush%20http/

Also use a fucking download manager like JDownloader 2 to avoid those pesky popups.

>>93143912
>we are all buyfags
If you are not doing both you are an idiot. I can't afford every book i want to read. I also know some books are not worth full price. Not to mention oht of print stuff.

>>93143600
I've got all the Buisick/Nord trades, but I might pick these up anyway.
The DH stuff is cool and all, but Buscema/Thomas grips me in a way that the newer stuff can't approach for some reason.
Muh Conan, I guess.

>>93143912
Awesome, thanks again.

And yeah, as the other anon said, I tend to do a mix of collecting trades and pirating.

>>93144235
Once you fall behind there is no catching up.
Everyone who buys me gifts just hits my IST omni packed wish list. My physical "to read" stack is beyond mortal understanding. I still haven't gotten past the xmass and tax refund loot and my birthday just passed this week.

I will run out of shelf space next week.
If I pirated stuff, anon, at this point it would legit just sit on my HD forever. It a waste of time for me to even look for it, anymore. I'd stop the madness, but this glorius period of reprints will end some day and I'll be safe in my bunker with my dogs and guns and comics.

>Muh Conan, I guess.
What does this mean? I'm relatively new to Conan, and so I'm curious to know how his characterisation/stories can differ to the extent that people start to "muh" certain iterations.

>>93146803
he means there are so many different versions of Conan it is possible that some people prefer a single one over all the others and get all
>muh Conan
over it.
There's the original Robert E. Howard pulp-stories, further stories (mostly novels) by other writers (varying degrees of quality, but mostly not so good, the Robert Jordan books are readable though), the old Bronze Age comics which were kicked off by Roy Thomas, the Savage Sword of Conan comics from the same time (black and white and relatively more brutal), the late 80s to mid 90s comics, the movie version with Schwarzenegger, the cartoon version, the mid-90s series with Ralf Möller as Conan version, the 2011 movie version with Jason Momoa and the modern iteration of the comic version, which was started by Kurt Busiek.

>>93147102
I get that, but I think I'll have to do a deep dive myself into the world of Conan to be able to notice the differences. At this point, my understanding beyond a few stories is superficial.

>>93147240
just look at the fact that there are loads of different origin stories
