They practically GIVE IT AWAY at only $2-3 for whole trades.

Latest haul from instocktrades. I bought Akira vol 5 but was told it was out of stock when the package arrived, so they're going to send me a copy with free shipping as soon as they get more in.

Some of these I'm just getting cause "eh it's only $3 tops" others I feel like I've found a $20 on the ground kinda good luck finding.

2/4

I ordered the following in the past few weeks:
DC One Million omnibus, Showcase Presents Challengers Of The Unknown Vol. 1-2, We3, Jack Kirby's OMAC, Starman omnibus Vol. 4-6, Showcase Presents Amethyst, and all four trades of the Death/Return Of Superman.
One order should be here soon, and the other hasn't shipped yet.

My man. I got all the floppies for super cheap a few months back, still need to read it though.

>>93602113
I seriously wish I had a good lcs where I live. We have two real ones in town but both are awful. One is the size of a shipping container and the other cares more about cards and table top stuff. We have another one which is an Entertainmart but the manager of that section blows.

>>93602175
I own both OMAC and Amethyst, and while I don't hate either of them I'd honestly say you might wanna reconsider.

OMAC isn't Kirby's best, and is nothing like modern versions of OMAC/Brother Eye if that is what you are familiar with or prefer. It's still an enjoyable few stories but they're like Mission Impossible or The Fast & The Furious levels of enjoyment (where it it is a casual skim through as time waster and feel kinda satisfied). If ya wanna get it just to own something by Kirby you can prolly do better.

As for Amethyst, the problem is the lack of color. Usually I feel fine of getting more story for my buck, but Amethyst is prolly best when colored. I mean everyone is gem themed and are meant to have their colors differentiate one another.
I remember reading the book, getting to the colorless cover page that they use for the Showcase cover, stopping to look at the book cover fully colored and going "this is like realizing that you've been having sex the whole time wearing an extra thick rubber".

>>93602304
It was storytimed on /co/ maybe bought a year back when I read it.
It's a Neal Gaiman's Sandman level of trippy.

>>93602244
Says inside 2016 so I'm assuming most recent run.
I simply grabbed cause WHYNOT.

It's all of Johns Teen Titans, plus the Beast Boy mini and a couple extra issues. (Infinite Crisis 5 and 6, Robin 147, and Outsides 24 and 25.)

>>93603301
And it came with a free half-dollar?!
That's just DC going the extra mile.

Nah but seriously that sounds great. I have kept up with TT since N52 cause WHYNOT and have hated it. But I usually love Johns' work so maybe this could be the TT related thing I get.

This is the first Johns' work I've read and the only other TT I've read is the Judas Contract, but so far I'm really enjoying this. (Bout 20 issues in I think.)

I've only read an issue or two so far. I picked it up because I've seen Derington's art on twitter and love it. The book is a love letter/homage/rip-off of Morrison's run but if you like that it's great. It also has amazing colors.

Also the YA trade dress is fantastic

On mobile right now.
Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 1 arrived on friday. I'm not too happy with it, binding is kind of funny but it will ptobably hold. It's hailes in the book itself as a successor of the archive editions but the paper and binding are way worse and there are no extras, no foreword, nothing. Just 4 pencilled pages in the back and that's it. And if I hadn't pre-ordered it I would have had to have paid €50for it now.
Anyway I ordered Supergirl: Death and the family, Supergirl: Who is Superwoman, Supergirl:Friends &Fugitives (to have New Krypton finally completed), Dial H deluxe edition, Larfleeze 1&2 + Threshold (all 3 used) and S.H.I.E.L.D.: The complete Omnibus (from amazon warehouse deals) yesterday

>>93603480
That sounds good to me. I like Morrison's run. The colors do look pretty nice from your image. I'll probably pick it up in my next order.

>>93602113
>>93602156

Yeah theres a reason it was so cheap man.... yikes.

hopefully something in the pile is good though

>>93603408
>How is YA Doom Patrol?

I like it alot,even with only knowing basic info about the characters... I've wanted to read Morrisons Doom Patrol and will at some point, but I had no problem getting a grasp of what was going on.

And the art is really great.

>>93602050
Akira is a eternal favorite for me and Uzumaki too though Gyo was good, it wasn't so good to be one of my favorites, but yes, it was interesting for a while. Good collection

A Junji Ito fan

>>93602407
I've read OMAC before and enjoyed it. I actually have an issue of that and an issue of Kamandi from my uncle's childhood collection still tucked away in my room. It's just something I've never remembered to get previously, so I threw it in on my last order.
As far as Amethyst goes, it's the only collection the series is going to get. I have scans to read in color, and if I can find the singles for a low enough price, I may eventually get them as well. But, unfortunately, a lot of older DC runs I enjoy that aren't your A/B-listers won't get much better than a now-out-of-print Showcase. Shazam is much the same in that sense. I'd love to have all that in color, but it's just not in the cards.
Thanks for the thought, though. Good looking out.

>>93603847
I've read Enigma, Fanboy, and Ei8ht before (as well as that part of Saga I think).
I know for sure those first three are good enough to have at full price, so I consider the other 20 icing on the cake.

>>93604251
Prolly true and sad.
But who knows, maybe someone will greenlight a Amythest straight to DVD animated movie and their expectations of good feedback will make them release the older stuff in a fat omnibus or large paperback trades like Perez WW just got recently.

>>93604197
Damn, you really went all out there. How much did that cost?

I can never understand how some people are actually able to pull off nice shelves like this.
I mean the patience and the budget to have entire runs matching and these big beautiful omnibuses and even a bit of space for nice little figures.

Meanwhile, mine looks like the book section of a garage sale or thrift store with varying sizes and types and hundreds of stories ALL OVER THE PLACE that makes figuring out my tastes is like trying to figure out what kinda music I like as I turn a knob back and forth on an old FM radio.

>>93605315
LOL I did something similar with my graduation money, too.
Work finding was slow so I looked up comics on Craigslist on a whim and contacted a guy.
Ended up spending $150 I shouldn't be wasting, but it prolly $300-400 worth of trades he was giving away.

He even threw in extra stuff cause I didn't try to negotiate down the price and I was the only person who seemed to be reasonable.

>>93605247
How's the quality of the Mark Waid Daredevil omnibus?

>>93605353
Fill shelves out completely so that the books stand erect, cover-to-cover. Also pull the spines of all your books to the edge of your shelves, uniformity looks tidy.

>>93605322
Thanks anon, I hope you enjoy what you like too

>>93605353
Funnily enough, it might help that my only LCBS overcharges out the ass, so there's no real hope for me looking around at the bargain bin to see what interests me, my only friends are eBay, IST and Amazon.

>>93605424
In terms of writing, this is the best part of the run, IIRC it starts getting really hit or miss later on. In terms of binding and whatnot, very little gutter loss. Paper's a little thin, but not enough that I ever felt like I was going to rip anything. For $40 on IST it's a steal.

I bought this from Doc Shaner a few weeks back.

>>93605527
I feel like unless you read that story (and even then recognized what it was from) you could only make a WILD guess that it's young Hal Jordan.

I hope it shows you comic friends their true colors if they recognize it. Shit looks tight.

Nice one, not familiar with the story but Shaner is great

I rarely see original art pickups in these threads. I've bought way too much to post and I'm far too inebriated but some highlights;

>JP Leon splash from Nu52 Detective Comics
>Artyom Trakhanov Turncoat cover
>Dave Johnson The Spectre cover
>Goran Parlov Nick Fury commission

To name a few. The only thing holding me back from buying more original art is the simple lack of space haha

>>93605527

Given that issue and how awesome it is.. that page in itself... is fucking perfect if you had to pick just one.

>>93602195
I mostly read mignola stuff so I have to ask why do people not like Ennis? Is he the same guy that wrote preacher? I liked preacher but if it's the same guy I haven't read his other works. Just wondering why /co/ doesn't like him

>>93606919

People tend to hate on him because most of his stuff although very good is also very aggressive and edgy... then you add on the people that just come here to troll and be contrarian assholes.

>>93606919
Its like hating Speilberg. He's made enough stuff that some are mediocre or people have recognized a style that he constantly does that they don't like.

For Ennis he's been known to go to high extremes or "be edgy" (like parts of Preacher or all of Crossed).
But no matter how ya look at it he's more hit than miss, and even if ya hate him you'd prolly find a few of his works good.

>>93606959
>>93606999
I guess I could see the edgy stuff with all the bestiality and sodomy in preacher (I have only read until Jesse gets Cassidy back from the grail) but I did like the relationship between cass and Jesse and it seemed well written. I haven't read crossed and from what I have seen about it I think I will skip it, it seems like to much edge and like its relying more on shock value. But anyways what's the best way to collect preacher? My LCS doesn't have any hardcovers of preacher, can I find some or should I just settle with the paper backs?

>>93607200
The run is over long enough that prints like hardcovers are maybe rare or expensive.
I bet if they did reprint it due to hype from the tvshow it'd be thick paperbacks.

As for Ennis recommendations keep an eye out for Rex Rover Red or Pride & Joy. Great comics that have that relationship writing skill that Ennis is great at. Both are single trade miniseries so I bet you could find them for $15 or less online.

>>93607200

You're gonna be looking at the thick paperbacks now as far as whats still in print. The Hardcovers are older and way more pricey.

but comics are for reading, not looking good on a shelf.

>>93607405
True, but I hate buying something to find out that if I bought a different addition it would have come with bonus content like extra art or maybe a small interview, or art by different artist. For some reason it drives me crazy haha. Really sad but that's how I am.

>>93607485
If you have the spare money, you can look at the Absolute Editions. They're on the second volume, and those almost always have the most extras that they would think about putting in.

>>93607266
Preacher has been strictly softcover TPBs for ages. Around the mid-00s, they redid the trade dress to make it "more uniform" and shit but the original TPBs are still easy to find cheap.

It wasn't until a couple of years back, that they finally put the fucking thing in HC, using a new configuration for the issues collected so they could streamline the number of volumes. The hardcovers are also still relatively easy to find cheap.

The Absolute omnibuses are for the TV show.

The only Vertigo book where the HC/trades go for huge amounts are the Sandman ones. The original TPBs and HC for Sandman go for huge bucks online, because around the late 90s, DC ditched all of the original TPB/HC covers for super-duper vague as shit cover art that was designed by committee to appeal to normies. Also, the original first printing of "A Doll's House" (second trade but the first ever Sandman trade released) is a huge collector's item because the first printing includes #8 (first appearance of Death); DC removed it from all later printings of "A Doll's House" in order to include it into Preludes and Nocturnes (the first trade chronologically), due to it being that story's epilogue.

Also, the Absolute Sandman hardcovers were HUGE sellers and sold out almost immediately. So they go for huge bucks

Anybody here picking up the Hickman Avengers Omnibus this week? Super excited for it, I've probs bought 9 omnibus in the last 2 months, got the whole Brubaker DD run, the 1st Mark Waid DD omni, Uncanny Avengers Omni for $30, Legion Omni, and Annihilation Conquest, Road to War of Kings, War of Kings, and Realm of Kings omni. Finally gonna start reading the last 4 omnis I listead after reading all of Annihilation online (cause fuck paying $500 for the omnibus on ebay)

>>93610586
Will be buying it in a couple of weeks when I have the money saved up for it.

Held off buying the individual HCs/TPBs, especially after hearing that the omnibus would have Infinity (as Marvel tends to skip crossover events in omnibuses, as seen with shit like the Bendis omnibuses skipping House of M, Civil War, Secret Invasion, and Siege)

It come with the DVD?
I bought a used copy of WW Gods & Mortals for a friend and gave it to them, and kept talking about "wish I had brought the animated movie with me. It's super good", and at the end of the evening it turned out the back of the comic had a copy of the movie on DVD and Blu-ray.

>>93611245
If it's the Batman and Son edition that contains The Black Glove, yes. The most recent printing has it, but I know mine doesn't so I had to buy it separately.

This stuff just arrived, mostly thanks to the helpful anon from 1-2 threads ago who pointed out how useful cheap.comics.com can be.

I've never really heard much about Mystery in Space, Countdown to Adventure or Holy War but they were cheap, featured characters I like and some writers/artist I like were involved in making them so we'll have to see if they're worth it.

Anyway, restructured my shelf but I'll have to do that soon again anyway so why did I even bother?

>>93618473

Have you read the King books? I'd say that trade is a good introduction to the series but it really ruins a lot of the fourth book if you want to go into the series starting from The Gunslinger. Gunslinger Born mixes in some material from books one and four.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Complete Collection Omni arrived today, it was from amazon warehouse deals, these are always a gamble but you can send them back if you don't like them (couldn't say no at €35). The book itself is okay, the cover is a bit rustled on top though but not ripped so next laundry day it'll come under the iron.

>Have you read the King books?
cheap-comics send you a free book at an order of €75 or more and the choices are so shit, the Gunslinger book is the only one remotely readable (rest are all Bendis Avengers books) so I guess that's why he picked them.

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes vol 1 is new, but really, as I already stated, it's kind of cheaply produced and the current price-tag of €50 is just too much.
I'm also waiting for both Larfleeze trades, Threshold and Dial H Deluxe Edition.
Then there's a lot incoming over August, September and October so I'm kind of happy I still got that much space in my shelves left.

>>93619251
That should be me, yeah, unless there are more of us. Thanks you for the tip either way, it made things a lot easier!

>>93620429
it is. just look at the 4 volume editions here (they use pretty thick paper though):
>>93619392
you'll have to remove around 3 cm of hardcovers and probably a bit of bonus material (because if you add it up there's around 150-200 pages of bonus material spread over all 4 omnis) but that's where you'd end up with, it's probably going to be the thickest Omni DC ever produced.
Amazon's guess for the new Omni is 1536 pages. The old ones were 3x396 and 1x 424 so it's 1612 pages. That's simply too much for a damn omni.
As far as I know, The Invisibles Omni is still the biggest one to date with 1536 pages, too, but the Kirby omni could top that.
Good thing I already own the 4 book Omnis

>>93620429
>That thing's going to be GIANT
It's the same page count as The Invisibles omnibus, so it's basically a weapon

>>93619392
I was kinda excited for the new SLoSH trade but that sounds pretty eh. Is it still good enough to hold up for normal reading and shelf life or is it really bad?

Thank you to the person last thread who posted about the Hamiltonbooks sale. I own a few omnis but Sinestro Corps War was my first time getting an Absolute Edition. Just wish I had a good place to display it.

yes it holds up, but it still feels kind of cheap if you compare it to the archives or pretty much any regular HC. I'm not a pro when it comes to identifying paper but it seems to be actual newsprint. it's fucking thin though, really really thin. You'll need to decide for yourself if you want to invest that much money into it.
Gutter loss is managable. you can't actually see in this pic (my new phone has a shit camera compared to my old one) how wavy the pages are, will post a follow up.

If you compare it to the 4th world omnis at least the paper felt better. They are not comparable to the Archive Editions at all, the paper, binding and cover material, even the bonus material were better. This one has just 4 script pages at the end and that's it, no pencils, no introduction or anything. Would have expected a bit more.

>>93602050
>https://www.bookdepository.com (free worldwide shipping but known to manhandle books)
what does this mean exactly?

>>93624551
The packaging is shit (amazon standard) and/or the books arrive battered/damaged because they use trained apes to package them. Had the same experience with them.

Also for the next OP I'd like to ask to switch speedyhen out with booksetc. I ordered stuff from booksetc and it arrived as fast as I am used to from speedyhen via amazon (5 workdays to Germany), but speedyhen ask for £15 for shipping while booksetc just want £1.5.
They basically have the exact same catalogue of books available so in the end the shipping costs really make a difference.

>>93624641
bookdepository is a amazon company, it just operates under that name and is really oddly priced much lower than amazon usually does

I'm very positive on Cerebus, the first 200 or so issues are some of the most compelling comics I've read, and Sim's contribution to the medium is undeniable. His attitude towards his critics as affirmation of his victimhood and that he's right about everything was his own undoing. It sucks to see what he's become, with the wrist injury and putting out copy-paste webcomic schlock.

Slightly disappointing. Way sets up some nice stuff, but it feels like he's changed what I had always thought was the inherent character of the team.
The joke being, Umbrella Academy is the Gerard Way "Doom Patrol" that I really wanted.

I fully believe that it'll get better, but I don't like much about this first arc with the Danny and Casey business, anything Way does with that feels like something Morrison or others have done far better.

Yeah but theres people like me out there who have a general idea of what Doom Patrol is, but haven't read it all...

which makes a new well written series with great art, really really appealling

How is the Silver Age Doom Patrol omni, printing/binding wise? The general hearsay that I remember is that DC has occasionally been spotty with big omnis, at least in comparison to Marvel.


I just ordered it because I can't help myself.
I already have all the Doom Patrol Archive edition hardcovers
