>9 issues behind on Gwenpool, the only comic I buy because I'm way too lazy to actively buy them and also don't like my LCS
Well I guess I'm going to have to bulk buy.

My most recents are pic related, the He-Man minicomic omni, Larsen Spidey and Jesse Marsh Tarzan v1.

Nothing new anons (still have to catch up on what I haven't read) but I did decide I'm going to start collecting Preacher next, started reading it in those story time threads a few days ago and i enjoyed it. Also anyone have the link to the last preacher storytime thread? Can't find it in the archive for some reason

I also bought the first Deathstroke Rebirth trade but my brother is reading it at the moment. Might do a shelf picture tomorrow, reorganizing at the moment.

And finally my recent purchases. I'm really hating Midtown Comics right now. They waited over a week to ship my copy of Empowered volume 10.

How can you read prison school,
I got to the tree peeing part & had to drop it tell me it gets better

>>93502982
Not him but I've been getting the floppies and it's ended up being the comic I look forward to the most when I visit my LCS.
I can't think of any comparisons though, sorry. (It may be that I enjoy it so much because I only recently got into comics and haven't read any other horror stuff)

It's 24 issues in now, but each 4-issue arc is pretty neatly separated. readcomicbooksonline has it all.

>>93503115
It gets better and then gets worse. It's a never ending cycle. I love how awkward it is.

>>93503056
Jelly of your Empowered Deluxes. Well, #1 specifically. It's kinda tough to get hold of these days, in the UK at least - I tried ordering from some US seller on Amazon and they cancelled my order without any explanation yesterday.

>>93503144
Those were hard to get. I'm not proud of what I paid for them.
>>93503191
I paid over the cover price for it. I was kinda dumb about it. I hope they will reprint it since they are releasing the third one so I can get a brand new copy of it.

So I am reading the x-Force omni. It's not nearly as bad as I expected, and liefield's art, while not great is servicable in most cases. There are worse artists in several of the annuals that are in the omni. Nothing in the main series really makes sense until around issue 6, though and then the story starts to emerge.
There are issues erawn by Mignolia and Cupullo, too.
Rob draws far more feet than he hides, but very few backgrounds. I legit like his Blob.
I'm glad Marvel sucks now, it has led me to look at some stuff I wouldn't have otherwise. The 90's get a bad rap.

Yeah I love Liefeld, Lee, McFarlane, and the whole crop of Image guys.

New Super-Man tpb is arriving by 8 pm tomorrow

I wanted to buy The Fables but I've heard some bad things about it, would anyone here recommend it?

>>93503410
I just read Larson Spidey too, and it was great.

>>93503447

Got the DC One Million Omnibus and Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil on Monday.
This Omni weighs like 6 or 7 fucking pounds, I feel like I could kill someone with it. Definitely send them to the hospital.
The gutter loss is negligible on pages with separate panels, but it's noticeable on two page spreads.

I have almost the complete collection of the original Blame! manga, but I could never find Volume 6. Does anyone have a good idea where to shop?

>>93503686
I'm a marvelfag, but that DC One Million omni is a great read.

From last Thursday's trip to Strand and Forbidden Planet. I was gonna pass on Punisher Born but what seems to be Thomas Jane's signature made me get it. The Star Wars books were picked up at Target earlier in the week.

I haven't found the strength or time to finish Habibi....someday.

"Kinderland" is a fantastic child biography of the author before the Berlin wall fall. If you ever see this translated, give it definitely a try.

Then some more chink cartoons: Saikano, Hideshi Hino and Franken Fran. On the corner there's a small booklet of "Torpedo" and "Ranxerox". Those are definitely meant to be read in a bigger format.

Is your edition of Disappearance Diary the complete work? The US release is only 1 volume of 2. Also, how is The Boxer? I was looking at getting it recently.

I'm waiting for an order of some stuff to arrive, and for Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1 to ship out. But Amazon is slow as shit with pre-orders so that's probably going to take quite a while.

>Is your edition of Disappearance Diary the complete work? The US release is only 1 volume of 2.

Can't really tell if it contains the WHOLE story. It is separated in two big arcs though; his first hobo trip and his work in a gas company + stay in a clinic.

>Also, how is The Boxer?

"Sportsmen imprisoned in WW camps" make great material for a book/movie imo. And this is coming from someone that despises any "oy vey muh six gorillion" Maus-like comic.

There's just something inspiring in watching resilient creatures like a boxer keep their chins up against any adversity.

Got the final volume of Siegfried yesterday, now that it's FINALLY out. Volume one came out five years ago.

>>93515403
Sounds like the same content as the English edition. He released a second volume in 2013 about his life after the events of the first volume.
I might pick up The Boxer then. The art I saw in the previews was pretty decent.

>>93515492
Reinhardt Kleist (the creator of the Boxer) also did a Johnny Cash bio and a recopilation of Berlin anecdotes told by a cab driver.

>>93515269
