Shade is crazy, I love Bachalo's art and Milligan is one of my favorite writers
the Changing Girl is also my favorite current ongoing besides New Super-Man and Gwenpool
>>93655431
also read the first two parts from school library, got last one as a gift from an ex

>>93655388
I own the punpun books as well.
Nice spine design with the sloping volume number and the punpun drawing.

It's on my manga shelf. They kind of fucked up by making 6's spine black though. The Punpun is still there but you can't really see it.

>>93656018
What happened to girl on the shore? Nice taste for the most part. Haven't read Bakuman yet but Platinum End is good if you enjoyed Death Note. Viz releases the volumes slow though.

>>93654935
Bought it since I like Gorrilaz good enough. Didn't know about the oni until I had like 3 of them.

I'm going to Melbourne any recs? My lcs only has Batman N52 and Saga volumes more or less.

>CS Lewis
not even a christfag but he's got some very interesting stuff. My favorite is Letters Screwtape Letters where a demon writes advice to another demon on how to temp man

>>93656161
She hung herself and pun pun lived normally after

>>93658363
What I find most interesting about Lewis is that he was an atheist until he was converted by Tolkein.

Any help on frames? I want this print, but it's 12x23 and I can't find any frames that are anywhere close to that. I'm fine with some white space, but the closest I can find is 22x28, which is more than a bit of white space.

Anyone grabbing anything this Winsday?

I found out that Monstress Vol2 came out and Zodiac StarForce has a new comic coming out so I'm gonna try to grab the first Zodiac trade and then the newest issue.
Also gonna give a glance at that $10 Grimm Tales of Terror that's coming out. Idk if it's an oversized floppie or a nicely priced trade.

nostalgia/10. those were some of the first comics I ever followed month to month

Does EVERY collector have a copy of watchmen?

I see it dozens of times, every thread

>>93661570
It's one of the most popular comics ever published, and it has literally never gone out of print. It also has tremendous re-read value.
>>93661600
>Batman Eternal
Tynion may have improved since then, but I will never read another Batbook with his name on it.

>>93661570
I don't and haven't even read it yet, but it's fairly important to comics for a large number of reasons. I'm hesitant to say this without having read it myself yet, but it's one of those things like a lot of people don't feel you're a comic fan if you haven't read Watchmen, just like you can't really call yourself a film buff if you haven't seen Citizen Kane and you're not really into science fiction if you haven't read 2001. That sort of thing.

I bought batman eternal vol.1 yesterday and I'm having buyer's remorse pls send help

On the bright side lois & clark and superman vol. 1 was great

>>93661644
i never thought he was THIS bad, i found tec somewhat chill but man this was really terrible

what's your opinion on IKEA shelves? is it worth it?

>>93661570
It's the most selling graphic novel in history if I remember right.
It's always available pretty much everywhere, and think it overrated or not your type it's worth owning no matter how ya look at it.

>>93661674
If ya got the receipt return it.
If ya can't either sell it for pennies at a used book store or write it off as ya donate it to local library (unless you're a fellow poorfag doing standard deduction).

I'd buy it from ya if I can trust ya enough to mail and trust me to send to you in mail cash.

>>93661644
>>93661876

does it even get good in vol 2 or 3?? if not I'll have to just return it and swap with another book, I'm saving for doom patrol

>>93661941
Personally I felt it had a strong start and slowly decrease, so if ya don't care for it at the beginning it might get worse for you.
I'd say check
readcomiconline dot to
And give it a lil bit of online reading before purchasing more.

>>93662095
yeah it was my fault I guess, I read the first few issues first on readcomic, art was really solid (fabok was great) in the first issues and the build up was good. But it just kept degrading on a page by page basis

>>93661655
I haven't read it either yet. One of these days I'll grab it from the library

>>93662419
Kane, 2001, or Watch?

>>93657042
stuff by Cooke and Clowes and Millar and Gillen and Ennis and Jeff Parker

>>93662662
Different anon, but my brother doesn't like Clowes. Then again, we have very different tastes. Can you sell me on Clowes?

anyone got that feel when you dont know what to buy?

Did you see that Retrofit is going to release another Yokoyama work this year? Also, how did you like My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness? The art appeals to me, but I'm not that intrigued by the story.

I think they've got the while GL/GA run collected in paperback for only like $30 or less.
Prolly easier to get that and abandon your Vol2 than to get the matching older vol1.

>>93665136
maybe, it was $5, like most of that shelf,(a lot of it was less actually), kek.

>>93659268
Search 12x23 frame on amazon and you'll find some. Most are under 30, some are around 20 it looks like. I've got a few posters that are weird sizes, but it's impossible to find frames in stores for them, I feel the struggle.

>>93654750

Just want to thank OP or whoever templated these posts for compiling those links to retailers I've never heard of, because I just discovered speedyhen.com is doing various discounted Peanuts and I am very happy.

Okay you're like the 10th person I've seen with that Day of the Flying Dead comic.
How much is it cause DAMMIT I want it. And who is the publisher so I know who to search through if LCS can't get it.

>>93657042
Made Wytches? It has a somewhat Swamp Thing-y feel to it at times and is pretty cool on its own too

>>93661570
I gave mine away.

>>93661752
I use IKEA shelves (Ekby Hemnes, maybe) along with wall mounted rails from another Swedish company and I think that's a pretty nifty solution if you want something that's a little more airy than a regular shelf. It's a sturdy enough solution in most regards, though I have to use bookends to keep everything in place.

I'm also kind of in love with the Kallax/Expedit shelf but it's pretty bulky and not really a perfect fit for comic books.

>>93663417
Yeah I already preordered the Yokoyama book from Retrofit's kickstarter. So happy it's actually getting released since picturebox folded.

My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is pretty alright. She's weird and neurotic enough to make autobio work and there's a lot there that resonated with me.

Nah, I'll read just about anything from Crumb to Kirby and beyond; on top of that I really, really dig Marvel from about 66-92-, which means, that even if I didn't have broad tastes, I would never run out of stuff to buy.

Most recents:

>>93667260
You sure all those people weren't just me? It's Day of the Flying Head (not Dead) by Shintaro Kago. Publisher is Hollow Press from the UK. I bought it off of Other Books LA for $10.

>>93667533
Retrofit is a pretty great publisher. I think they're working with Holmberg on the Yokoyama book. I'm really glad he got enough attention from the Picturebox books to let him work with all the publishers he's working with now.
Is My Lesbian Experience more "lol I'm so quirky" or does it treat the author's hangups with more seriousness than that.

>>93668246
>Is My Lesbian Experience more "lol I'm so quirky" or does it treat the author's hangups with more seriousness than that.

More serious. Like realizing you're sexually attracted to your mom and pulling your own hair out.

Thanks. Does your edition of Howard have those typos on stuff like the jacket?
>>93662662
I'm going to pass on a few of these at least but thanks. Was going to get some Clowes anyway. Read four volumes of Wicked + The Divine from the library with mixed thoughts. I was on a train when a disabled person wanted to sit next to me when the Sex Criminals scene came up. Mark Millar seems like a hack from what I heard that got improved by his films.
>>93663187
I slowed down a whole ton. Last thread which I took this from I even said I had a problem.
>>93663871
That's my plan to do. I got it all downloaded somewhere anyway. Just found them on a high shelf in a used book store and got them.

>I slowed down a whole ton. Last thread which I took this from I even said I had a problem.

If you're the Chog-dude then yeah... cuz you aren't even displaying the pops theyre just in boxes all stacked up...

I have some pops as well but I don't see the point of not taking them out and putting them somewhere.. Its like beanie babies all over again.

>>93670431

>>93673755
Check used book stores maybe just to get it to have it. Prolly can find it for $15.

Got Volume 1 of the Hickman Avengers/New Avengers Omnibus today. Just like with his Fantastic Four/FF, it's a far better format for it than having to switch trades every couple issues.

>>93661570

Dude, nice collection. Jelly of that Megg & Mogg lot.

>>93674917
Yes. It switches back and forth every few issues. Only thing is it has the first Avengers arc before the first New Avengers, and although that's release order I know many prefer New Avengers first.

>>93675332
What is the issue order for the Hickman Avengers omnibus. Might be a deal breaker for me in how they line it up in the book.

>>93661570

>>93675430
Avengers 1-3, New Avengers 1-3, Avengers 4-5, New Avengers 4-6, Avengers 6-13, New Avengers 7, Avengers 14-17 then for prelude to infinity and the event itself they stop labeling which is which, and I'm too lazy to figure it out, so I'm just gonna assume release order

humor me /co/, can anyone recommend me good Spider-Man comics?

How do people that are into capes do it? With some exceptions, I don't really like superheroes, but even with my limited interests, I can't keep up with releases and my backlog. How do you guys that collect everything do it?

I usually get around 10 issues a week, and it doesn't take too much time out of my week to get that done. As for the big hardcovers, I just take them a little at a time. Nothing says they need to be done in a week, or even a month.

People that read a lot of superhero comics usually go through an issue in under 5 minutes. Subtleties are lost on them so that why most are interested in discussing retarded things like shipping.

>>93672979
pretty good, though I haven't read any Chew and I will just not comment on Spider Gwen

I'm in the mood for some fun. I heard Hama's GI Joe run is great and turns into some amazing soap opera series after a few issues. What's the best collection of that?

>>93679501

Too Stoned to Eat a Sandwich & Health Kick from Cold Cube 2

I'm roughly halfway through Legion of Super-Heroes - 1050 Years of the Future at the moment. Fun book, contains a lot of essential stories I haven't really gotten around to yet and gives you a very clear picture of the Legion's evolution.

>>93680324
Read it online via download and play catch-up as I can.
Also monthly releases means it takes them 5-6months to put out the next trade so plenty of time to catch up.

I got into comics when Blackest Night was coming out around 2008-2009, and I was able to catch up from Rebirth to Emerald Eclipse in like a week of reading and a proper reading order (shout out to 00s /co/mrades).

I don't read or buy many of the weeb comics, but this was really good.

Worth the mild (intense) shame of buying it as the comic shop staff shouted the title back and forth at each other while they tried to figure out where it'd been put on the shelves after I asked for it at the counter.

Does anyone own the Beasts of Burden trade? Is it decent quality-vise?

>>93680324
I have never, ever tried to stay "current" and I read mostly reprints. I'm pretty with it up until the mid 90's w/Marvel, but that's just a side effect of reading what I want over time.
I don't get buying Marvel floppies at all- it all shows up on unlimited in 6 months for pennies on the dollar.

>>93681018
>out of stock everywhere in the UK

I'm slighty mad.

>>93684702

the other factor is that Marvel has been pumping the prices of their books both floppy and trade for years now...

I'm not sure that they realise that ppl in other countries are effected by an exchange rate, here in Canada a $3.99 floppy is $5.50+ , to say nothing of the MEGA BLOCKBUSTER WORLD CHANGING EVENT titles they price at 4.99 or even 5.99 when they're feeling particularly greedy.

Add on top of that a majority of their books aren't even worth reading and .... yeah at my LCS nobody is buying Marvel now....

>>93685062
Ya know how people act like they're a soulless money grabbing company who's long abandoned their values of magical entertainment for all?

That's what Marvel actually is. And I feel like they've been like that long before Disney bought them out.

>>93685321

Flash Silver Age omnibus, Vol. 1. Almost at the end of it. After I finish Vol. 2, I'm probably going to crack into Dini Zatanna or the Great Disaster Showcase.

>>93685062
Canadafag here. I am still buying Ultimates^2 cause I really like it and was buying Moon Knight. But those prices are too high for more than that IMO. Besides, I can find cheap trades of old and better stuff than most of it now.

I mostly support smaller books like Flintstones and image books now

>>93685062
That sucks, canadanon. I feel bad asking, but do you leafs have IST?

>>93686371

Technically speaking we can order from IST, but they charge enough for "international" shipping that with the inevitable customs charge for crossing the border makes IST's most excellent savings basically moot.

>>93686316
>Besides, I can find cheap trades of old and better stuff than most of it now.

Yeah thats what I'm doing now... I get DC/Image/DH floppies and buy older Marvel trades of actual good shit that I haven't read yet, finding a gem at a used bookstore is always great.

I have no idea where the hell current Marvel comics are headed but I'm sure as shit not buying into it.

>>93687831
That atomic robo some of the later work?
Or did some of the earlier trades get reprinted in a omnibus collection through IDW?

>>93687559
>I have no idea where the hell current Marvel comics are headed but I'm sure as shit not buying into it
That is the consensus.

>>93680324
You just wait it out until it's collected. If something is getting rave reviews like Vision or Flintstones, that's really the only time I'll keep up with it as it's going, but otherwise singles are aids.

Tell me /shelf/, what's the book you regret the most getting/not getting?

>>93694645
I still haven't got the Ennis Punisher MAX hardcovers and now they go for crazy money.

>>93694645
Is the infinity gauntlet omnibus worth getting? I'm thinking about buying it

>>93694766
I'd say so. It's nice to get all the lead up and main event in one place, just don't keep too high of expectations for the tie-ins.
Still, it's OOP, and current prices could very well be a deal-breaker if I didn't already have it.

>>93694645
I regret not getting the Uncanny X-Force omnibus after telling several of my friends they should get it because it's awesome, then it going out of print the next month.

>>93694658
sweet hotline miami box, where did you get it?

>>93695874
Devolver Digital's merch store, called the "Gamer's Edition".
Comes with a physical version of the comic they made for HLM2, but it's pretty small, and the spine's just staples, so I keep it in the box.
It was meant to be a super-limited run, but I think they grossly over-estimated the demand. It's been "super-low stock" for close to a year.

>>93694645
IDK about getting, but not getting was this copy of Maus I saw some guy selling.
It was back in college when kids would sell all their text books back for 1/10th they paid for, and the guy in front of me was selling back to the store this sweet hardback omnibus of Maus. I still wish I simply told him "whatever they offer I'll give you $5 more".
Now I live with a miss-match copy of both volumes.

>>93692887

Orbital really took a dive. It went from an interesting modern political scifi series into some Space Opera about OP nanomachine AI spaceships running away from the Reapers.

repring is coming soon

>>93697696
Nah, they're reprinting the Marvel Knights series omnibus, not the MAX OHCs.

>>93699131
I wonder if anyone ever tries to make money with trades.

I mean reasonably since hardcovers like Max go out of print and become rare, I could try to find some at a used book store and wait a few years for when they're worth double the label price.
But has anyone actually years of someone collecting trades for resale value not story?

You made me feel like an idiot there for a second, but a bit of googling isn't turning up another title. Fairly certain it was WITCH in Italy too. Even searching for the names of the issues or story arcs isn't helping. I'm honestly pretty shocked, I would have thought they'd be a bit easier to find.

So I think my best bet is ordering from an Italian second hand comic store. Any suggestions anyone?
