I fucked up my budget last month, so I can't buy anything for a couple months. But I already have my amazon cart filled with Comic Book Tattoo and The Nikopol Trilogy.

You might want to check out Frontline. That was a pretty cool tie-in Marvel did for Civil War and Secret Invasion. Worth a read.

I've absolutely no idea about any of these comics, besides knowing some of the artists/writers of course (Vietch, Chaykin, Sale, etc.).

Anybody read them?

>>95111782
Industrial Gothic is a weird little grotesque thing. It had a cool design, but was intentionally (I assume) ugly.

Went to San Francisco Comic Con this past weekend and got these.
Hyrule Historia, Hell Boy, & Moon Knight where 20% off. The other 3 books were in a 3 for $10 box.

>>95110532
I am really surprised that they are going forward with more Doom Patrol reprints. The first three are Morrison, and they just solicited the first 11 issues of Pollack's run.
If I had to bet, that one might be cancelled before its release.

Fuck off, C.R.E.A.M.

>>95112063
Or they just stop after that one volume. They put out the first volume of Kid Eternity by Ann Nocenti and Sean Phillips but haven't solicited volume 2. I understand that it's not a popular series... at all. But still, why release the first volume and then cancel what would've been the second and last one? it's just...mean.

>>95111782
Billi 99 looks great. Okay story, I'll probably read it again in a few years. I need to glue the cover back on, though.

I donate mine to a youth shelter my mom volunteers at, go through my floppies every year and decide what I care about and will read again and what can go, then give a stack to my mom to take down there.

If you have a local boys and girls club, that would work, for ex.

Just donate them somewhere ppl will enjoy them, I can't believe there are ppl who just throw comics in the garbage or recycle bin.

>>95112299
Did they formally cancel the second one, or has it just not been solicited yet?
The Unwritten Deluxe Book One came out on December 14, 2016, and the second one was only solicited recently for a release date of December 27 2017. It might just take a while.
Looks like that Kid Eternity series was only 16 issues though, which makes me wonder why they did not just make one larger release.

I remember super psyched for that Big Blast figure. It was the first Hellboy figure they made.

I'm hoping Mega Construx makes a figure of him.

To keep it book related I should be finishing out my MIND MGMT sometime in the next few days. I don't know if anyone else is gonna brave the inevitable B&N buy 2 get 1 free sale that will inevitably hit in a few months but that's how I plan on getting my omnibus. There's just so many coming out before year's end.

No, I'm kidding, I own it too. But it's really popular with women. I can't wait for the Alan story he's writing next, Alan is one of the best characters and a story devoted to him sounds great. But I'm not sure about the next story Sejic is doing, about a cross dressing man. I'll still read it, it will probably be funny as hell

I am in fact, of the male nature. I just happen to like Stjepan Sejic's artwork. And stories that feature sex positive characters.

Bummer. It doesn't add much but I thought it was a cool touch.

>>95116386
I'm not sure. This is actually a blind buy for me; the premise seems interesting enough so I figured I would give it a go.

>>95111593
I got Identity Crisis because a friend recommended it as "the perfect jumping on point for the DC universe". It liked it but I don't necessarily think it's the best first experience to give to someone who is unfamiliar with DC.

>>95113509
>They don't market reprints though so I dunno what the fuck they expect
That's what I've been saying. It's like they want to market these things to collectors that have already read the title but they fail to understand that collectors want to own full runs and will wait until it's all done until buying. They started reprinting Grell GA a couple of years back and they still haven't finished collecting ti because they release new volumes so slowly... why? are they afraid it's going to affect the floppy sale?

>>95113663
I don't remember if vol 2 ever got solicited. You bring up a good point about The Unwritten, it used to be pretty popular and they're still releasing the second volume more than 12 months after the first.
It's just frustrating because I never thought they'd ever collect this Kid Eternity series in the first place and it's just two volumes long... I can understand something like Sandman Msytery Theatre because it would still have to be at the very least 5 volumes long but even then I've seen a lot of people say they didn't buy the newer releases because they knew for a fact DC was going to cancel them.

Does anyone know that if they're going to keep releasing conan omni for all the conan series? including the barbarian, the avenger, etc

I've really been digging Cobb's stuff. He drew a little sketch in my copy of Slow Drift that I didn't notice. He reminds me of Olivier Schrauwen a bit with how he draws people and the way he does speech bubbles. It eases the withdrawal a little bit.

Not that anon, but-
If you buy from IST, most fall between 50-80 USD if you buy them the week of release.
That said, I just picked up the NTT omni for 37.50 and Morrison DP for 85. I don't spend my comic money on anything else, and it's what everyone gets me as gifts too. They pile up fast.

It makes me kind of sad how fucked everyone outside the US is.

>>95126991
Between 80 - 120 USD + 30 USD shipping (I live in Peru). I try to wait for sales on US Amazon, but yeah is not the cheapest hobby to have.

>>95127197

>37,50$

I don't know what NTT is but jesus fucking christ. there's literally no way in hell you can get it for that cheap over here. I'm only looking at paperbacks in order to save some money. like I said in another post, I'm getting my first oneshot in a few days but as far as the prices go for English Editions (no way in hell am I reading the German versions), the HCs are quite expensive in general.

Thought about getting All Star Superman (paperback) for 30€ (just calculated and it's about 20$ more expensive than the same book in the U.S.) and TDKR 30th Anniversary for 13€. Would love to get JL New Frontier and Watchmen afterwards

>>95117358
That's a very nice sketch

Just got Gaiman's Books of Magic, Dark Knight, and Sunstone in the mail.
I wasn't expecting the cover for Sunstone to be smooth, which is a relief. Dust covers are nice for shelves, but they get in the way when reading.

So, who's the Sinner omnibus publisher? I have had the Joe's Bar gn for years (Titan copy) and the Fanta 5-issue mag from '87 to '89, one Sinner story from RAW and this (the first five stories of which are the first five issues of the Fanta series).
Munoz is a genius, good taste there Judge Anon.

>>95129228
Don't you guys just... take the dustcovers off when reading and then put it back on when you put the book on the shelf?

>>95131119
Fuckin' absolutely. Imperative behaviour

>>95105949
just bought the first 20 issues of the Badger. how many issues are there, anyway?

>>95124995

For Batman i'd go with Year One by Frank Miller
Superman I'd go with Superman for all seasons

don't get watchmen, its obv a masterpiece but it takes a certain amount of comic reading to totally appreciate all the work that went into it other than just the basic plot.

>>95131119

Posted this before but it's so gorgeous I couldn't resist uploading a second time....

I'd say get All Star instead.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

>>95131486
i will say that there's what looks like an annual dealio in the stack i got that has the badger riding a white horse on the cover and steven butler's printed signature (not cursive) in the bottom right corner.

That Punisher Omni is bascially just the Essential in color isn't it?

I'm waffling between that Direct Market Variant and Planet Hulk.

>>95131557
WAIT, i was mistaken. it's just issue 64

>>95131486
Man, you need to read Nexus if the idea of a retro-futurist-set superpowered assassin who kills at the behest of an omnipitent alien appeals to you. Mike Baron and the legendary Steve Rude on the art duties (though he did take time off now and again). Basically you can'y go wrong with the first 3 mag-sized comics, The Capitol colour standard sized floppies and the first 50 First issues. The Dark Horse mini-series have been utterly indispensable, too.
>>95131577
64?! Shit I didn't realise it got past say 50 issues!

>>95106542
stupid question I'm sure but how do you storytime? Just upload one image at a time? Is there anything I should know before diving in?

>>95131710
yeah, just upload the images so everyone could read along

make a new thread though

>>95131568
The omni is everything up to his first ongoing series. So basically his time as a Spider-man side character and his first mini series that just wraps up some plots from those appearances .

>>95131710
You post image by image, very slowly without a pass.
I recommend installing something like 4chanx though, so you can line up a bunch of images in succession (so you don't miss a page)

>>95131660
duly noted. thanks anon

>>95131999
No problem mate. I always liked Badger but came to the title because of the Nexus crossover--it happened early on, like issue 6 or something I believe? Baron gives him the greatest fucking lines...Btw Nexus issue 50 is "The Return To The Bowl Shaped World", 48 page squarebound, you can pick it up cheap (there are Nexus omnibuses about, too) like most of the Nexus floppies...though it did lose something when Rude left 'cause of a falling out with Baron, not many mainstream comic artists can compare to the guy and that's on an objective level, only real heir to Kirby working today, for me, he's done lots of stuff for DC and Marvel (recommend Thor: Godstorm, Spiderman Lifeline or his Mister Miracle one-shot, for instance). Plus Rude's own creation The Moth is a rollicking good adventure/cape story, like a Golden Age homage...I think the last thing he did was the Kirby Anniversary Kamandi issue. Sorry man I'm just a massive Steve Rude fan. Grew up with Nexus, y'know? Oh also there's the great World's Finest mini-series written by Dave Gibbons, which is WELL worth a read!

>>95131457
it doesn't have the banned progs

>>95132926
Frenz and Larsen do modern Kirby as good as Rude

This is my favorite shelf. I'm interested in what you add

>>95126392
I'm planning on getting Sandman. But am debating on between the two omni's or those absolute editions. Which would you recommend? Is the extra content in the absolutes worth it? Also, will I need to collect that Death edition too or is that collected in the omni/absolutes otherwise?

>>95126511

>>95129228
>Gaiman's Books of Magic, Dark Knight, and Sunstone
I love Books of Magic, and think the series by Reiber is one of the best Vertigo titles
>>95131119
yeah, I take them off. Honestly though, I don't even care for them in the first place. A nice fabric cover or leather cover looks FAR better than a shitty piece of cardboard covering it up. I never understood why some books have a nice leather bound cover and then cover it up with a dust cover. It's so ugly and classless

>>95134332
>think the series by Reiber is one of the best Vertigo titles
Does anyone know if it is true that the reprints have been cancelled?

>>95134126
Don't get too excited unless you're a big Halloween guy. I've gotten a few new artsy and legitimately good things, but mostly been stocking up on spooktober stuff since I just love Halloween if my shelf didn't make that obvious.

This is by far the largest shipment I have had in years, both in physical size and number of books.

Stray Bullets is mostly a blind-buy, and I went for the omnibus because it is surprisingly cheap.
Button Man I had read digitally before but wanted a physical copy before it goes out of print. It contains the three Ranson volumes, but not the fourth one illustrated by Irving.
I have read most of Morrison's DP before, but was enticed by the size of the volumes.

why do you think I like your shelf so much. Halloween is my favorite day of the year.

I picked up something recently that you might like judging from your taste. Whisper in the Walls. Written by a guy who has worked with Del Torro on some of his movies. So it's a bit movie pitch ish but damned good story. Another vampire/werewolf story with a girl stuck in the middle but it's a solid story

>>95135004
different anon here. you like the "Stranger Things" show on netflix? season 2 will come out around halloween

>>95134921
>Shade, the Changing Girl
Thank god someone else actually bought it. Issue #12 (and possibly final) is tomorrow

Those Mystery Theatre trades look great, I just probably won't buy them now that they cancelled the other ones.

>>95134921

Nice, I want to read basically everything in that stack that I haven't already read.

>>95134921

Whats the book under new frontier? I can't read the spine

The Library editions are the way to go for Hellboy, right?
Are the early volumes still in print?

>>95111593
>>95116586

Once you really get into DC Identity is only acceptable as part of the ramp up to Infinite Crisis.

Fucking Identity stealing the name Crisis from the proper kind of story. The whole thing rustles various jimmies.

I've just had to pack up my collection for a move. Im up to... I don't know 15 long boxes of trades and more in boxes due to Absolutes, hardcovers, and so forth not fitting.

I read too many comics. It's weird because 10 years into this medium and I know of five series total I'm still interested in. So while I have a ton, I'm almost sort of done with exploring past ages.

>>95123497

I've never been sure about Courtney Crumrin. But your general good taste is making me think I should give it a look.

>>95131119

If it's a massive book I do. But it's annoying. I feel like the whole dustcover thing is an unneeded pretension.

>>95135215
I think you might be able to find all the library editions on instocktrades, but yes go for the library editions it's a better deal and they look nice and are bigger and have more content than getting the trades

>>95136501
>I'm almost sort of done with exploring past
no, that just means you have to start looking for books. time to start finding something a bit obscure

>>95136549
>an unneeded pretension
Sometimes yes, but then there's the option of different covers.
Say on a normal book where the dustcover has a more embarrassing design on it than the bare, one or two color hardback underneath, or vice versa.
Or in the case of the DC One Million Omni, where the original art is covered by the title and credits and other words.

I think the best thing I've ever found under a dustcover is on my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, where it has the mascot stamped into it.

>>95136668

Well. That's long series I'm about done with. I mean I'm in deep enough to have Nexus and be looking forward to more Dreadstar trades.

So I'm sure I'll hear about one or two volume things, but I doubt I'll find anything large and old. Barring of course some new collection of some classic.

>>95136778
oh, I didn't get that you were talking about long series. That makes more sense. I like a lot of shorter stories and mini-series more than I like long runs, so it will take me a long ass time to run out of that kind of stuff

>>95136841

I like both. I have a pretty healthy amount of like... midrange Indie stuff. As in from Vertigo, Image, creators who work on bigger books, etc. So I'm sure I still have plenty of odd gems to find.

But the big long series are the time and money sink.

>>95136936

(I'm specifically talking about one or so volume series here.)

God there's just something that bothers me about the smell of a new book with high gloss paper. Odd smell that gets into my throat.

>>95136936
yeah, that's one of the reasons I hesitate to start those big series. I've been putting off Hellblazer and Sandman for so long cause if I dedicate to grabbing them it will be all my book money for a while. And I like variety

>>95137064

Sandman at... about 15 volumes if you count every spin off is a bit much. Not too bad.

What sucks is I didn't care for it, but I wanted to see it through. I kind of want to reread it. Eh.


The worst is as far as characters go, I'm a huge Green Lantern fan so I have every single GL trade. Minus a few odds and ends. That's a damn shelf let me tell you.

Bunch of good shit came out today. Is that Punisher Back to War any good?

>>95137183
It's the same as Essential Frank Vol. 1 I think.. It's a solid read. Collects a bunch of Marvel magazine shit that's underrated as fuck too.

>>95137180

Oh besides for GL, I also have everything Mignola. That's another big chunk.

>>95137180
Gonna get that Kyle Rayner trade? Shit looks great.

>>95137064
Yeah, Hellblazer is possibly the largest series out there that has a consistent reprint schedule. I am planning on starting that project next, because the new trades and spines have been remarkably consistent. Someone posted a shelf with all 15 of the volumes out, but there are still many to go (reprints are up to ~189, out of 300),

>>95137260

Yeah. It looks like it'll slot in nicely between Emerald Twilight/New Dawn and Baptism of Fire. Eventually that set will be of material already collected, but that's a strong start of never before collected stuff.

And good god am I so hyped for the second Silver Age Omnibus coming out in November. Once that's out in one form or another I'll have every single Green Lantern comic. I have about..... 35.... Silver Age issues. But starting with Flash 218 when GL spent a few years as a back up, I have every issue.

I just really like that space cop thing, even when GL fails to live up to the premise. Green Lantern, the rare times Nova does that, Nexus, Dreadstar, Lensmen, Jedi, Rangers, Specters before Mass Effect revealed itself to be a bland turd. I love that idea.

>>95137285

I think the trades are going to start getting meatier. I'm not sure though. Is there a confirmed schedule?

I need to get Swamp Thing first.

Swamp Thing, Animal Man, and Hellblazer are my last large company series to get. That last Animal Man volume never seeing print is annoying.

>>95137285
I picked up the first two volumes on a whim when I couldn't find the next volume of Sandman I needed at my local bookstore.
It's odd that they're printed on unglossed paper, but it's appropriate, and it has all the original cover art in the back, including the Swamp Thing issues, though they have all the other little things like names and logos, unlike the Hellblazer covers.

>>95137378

I wish they would just leave the issue covers in place. They act like chapter breaks. It's really helpful when reading comics not written for a trade to feel the rhythm of an issue.

>>95137337
So far up to Volume 18 has been solicited, and that is the last chunk of Mike Carey's run (#215, done in three trades). Denise Mina can probably be wrapped up in a single thicker trade since she only did 13 issues (and they would want to get through that as fast as possible).
Andy Diggle followed her for 18 issues, then Milligan did the last 50.

I've actually noticed that the trades have gotten smaller, but they are still around 11 issues each.

>>95123227
>>95137478

As far as I'm aware it's just the recent Dark Horse series, right?

I'd love it if they went back through and did the entire Marvel era like this. I hate the shrunk recolored tpb's they've already done.

>>95137503

My bad on the length then. Two other questions. Are they switching to a better paper stock for the later, more recent issues? Past a point it would make sense to switch due to art and coloring changes.

And do they include any of the various mini series and one shots and so forth?

>>95137520
I meant for all the dark horse series. So they're going to release on for the avenger and so forth? So I'll hold off on buying floppies or trades

>>95137591

I know they're starting with Busiek's run. I don't know if they plan on just keeping on rolling. I hope so too.

>>95136528
Thanks, I'm always surprised I don't get torn into for the ponies, Sonic, and for the children comics

If it's the kind of thing you're interested in, it's very good. It's not like, say, Lenore, that I only picked up for completion's sake. The last volume has a couple shaky moments, but it's a pretty satisfying end and a very nice journey, especially if you like when magic and such is used as a coming of age metaphor.

>>95131118
Spanish house called Salamandra, under their Graphic imprint. They've done a lot of Sampayo/Muñoz material before, so I guess this is them going all out.

That's a dope collection, btw.

Kabuki Vol 2 came in today, not sure if I'll have the time to pick it up. But that completes the Kabuki series, just the spin offs to get like Dream Logic. Vol 2 has my fav stuff though, I like all the therapy stuff in the asylum

Here's a third! One of the first things I read when I was seriously getting into comics, and I still need to pick up a copy. Bomb Queen was probably the first thing I really read and didn't just pick up an issue of and forget about, but we can forget about that, can't we?

Just got all these today. The LCS is still a week behind so nothing released this week (Thanks again Harvey).
Haven't read the horror book yet but already want to recommend it. Hardback 350+ page and only $20!

Also the movie theater I'm at right now was giving away WW posters so grabbed one cause whynot.
was considering getting America #6 cause of my mail getting in

To all my germanbros in here. Where do you get your books for cheap? Amazon and most German websites are hella expensive when it comes to US Comics. Don't want the German versions for reasons but US Comics, even though cheaper, are still too expensive

cheap-comics.com and if you have a credit card or paypal, booksetc.co.uk.
Both deliver pretty quickly (takes around a week) and should arrive within a week. cheap-comics is seated in the Netherlands, booksetc's stuff comes via airmail.
cheap-comics is generally cheap with TPBs and HCs and when there are Absolutes and Omnis on sale they're piss cheap as well (there's always something on sale), plus they stack some stuff that's already out of stock on other sites. If you are into old DC stuff, take a look at their Archive editions collection, too. you can grab some for €5.
They have a flatrate shipping charge of €6.95 to Germany, so don't bother making an order of under €100. Packaging is incredibly good. lots and lots of padding, tpbs are packed into an extra bag to avoid dents in corners.

booksetc is great for Absolutes and Omnis. It's way cheaper than amazon, shipping charges are at a flat £1.50 and their packaging is all right, there more you order at once, the better the packaging, but if you just order omnis and absolutes the books are heavy enough to warrant a proper package with proper padding (bubble plastic foil).

Aside of that, get lucky with a comic shop somwhere near you and always take a look at ebay kleinanzeigen for stuff you like.

Also that Marvel omnibus sale from cheap-comics.com is apparently still up, but quite a few of them are already gone (some of the Fantastic Four stuff for example).

Funny thing though, cheap-comics seems to be down right now with a database error. check in later again. what I don't like with them right now is their site design though. they had a pretty nifty, utilitarian list design until a few months ago which was literally all I needed, but they changed that to some shitty fany-look design which only clutters everything up.
if you know what you want and what to search for, that may be fine. if you enter broad search terms like "superman" though, it will fuck everything up though.

>>95167685
all these typos, fuck!

>>95167685
never mind, it's up again.
also they have that message on top:
>For security reasons it is necessary to reset your password using the Lost Password option on the Loginscreen.
if you didn't have an account there before they changed the design (or if you don't have one at all) you can ignore that.
Check out the "Info" tab for how they handle the omnibus sale.

>>95167649
>>95167685

I already checked those out and whether you believe it or not, Amazon is still the cheapest option in Germany. I don't know how expensive comics are in other Euro countries but apparently, Germany is cheaper than other countries but still more expensive than the US Amazon

>get lucky with a comic shop somwhere near you and always take a look at ebay kleinanzeigen for stuff you like.

checking out Kleinanzeigen all the time but most people don't sell US comics and if they do, they never sell the stuff I want

Picked up three collections of untranslated Otomo manga for less than fiddy bucks on eBay. The largest volume is the AKIRA-sized limited reprint of his war epic Kibun Wa Mo Sensoo, over the moon that I found it over the more common tankobon sized version

The middle volume is his SOS! Tokyo Metro Explorers anthology and contains a lot of varied styles and genres, from a Shojo schoolgirl short to a Giraud-influenced Western tale. I hope Otomo gives the okay to translate these one day

>>95167968
>I already checked those out and whether you believe it or not, Amazon is still the cheapest option in Germany.
probably depends on the comics you want. If I had found cheap-comics or had checked booksetc earlier, I would have saved literally hundreds of euros.

>>95167685

German guy from before. Wasn't able to check out booksetc earlier because the links above were always wrong (it's actually booksetc.co.uk)

Why the hell are some comics so damn cheap? For example All Star Superman, it's at 13 bongdollars instead of 27 (the book is at about 30€ on German Amazon). Sounds like a great deal but I'm wondering whether they're selling used comics without a warning or whether it's just a goddamn bargain to begin with

>>95168157

like I said here >>95168215 booksetc actually looks awesome if it's legit. cheap-comics has the same prices as Amazon and a too expensive delivery fee.

>>95168215
no, it's all new except for where it's explicitly stated that it isn't (those are apparently secondary sellers though and booksetc is just their platform). pic related, it's been all new. compare the prices to amazon's (at the time when I ordered the War of Kings stuff, the Prelude omni was available on amazon.de for a nice €112.99, now it's €120, while prices haven't changed on booksetc).


>cheap-comics has the same prices as Amazon and a too expensive delivery fee.
it's piss cheap if you order bulk, I don't see the problem.
And you are aware you don't pay the delivery fee per book but per order, right?
you can pick literally a dozen tpbs for €5 each, how can amazon beat that? how?

These are the two I want to get. Watchmen Deluxe HC is 20€ instead of 40€ (Amazon). Just seems too good to be true.

>And you are aware you don't pay the delivery fee per book but per order, right?

the prices on cheap-comics are the same as the ones on Amazon, at least for the comics I want to buy. Since Amazon doesn't have shipping fees on books, there's no reason for me to choose cheap-comics over Amazon

There is no hope for Deathstroke Dlx HC, is there?

>the prices on cheap-comics are the same as the ones on Amazon, at least for the comics I want to buy.
too bad for you, no reason to dismiss it completely though, as you have done so far in every single post.

>Since Amazon doesn't have shipping fees on books, there's no reason for me to choose cheap-comics over Amazon
actually there is a good reason for it and that's your comics arriving undamaged. amazon often manages to manhandle my books, cheap-comics' stuff arrives with great packaging and in mint condition.

>>95168693

>are you implying they might cheat you or it's all an elaborate ruse?

I guess both but since people link the site all the time, I might actually use them because of the cheap-as-hell prices.

Would anyone recommend the Dark Knight Returns Deluxe Edition or should I get the Paperback versions of TDKR and DKSB? The Deluxe Edition is cheap on booksetc and the cover looks really nice

>>95168547
>All-Star Superman TP
unlucky, you missed the Absolute All-Star Superman sale on cheap comics, they had it for €49.99 until a few days ago.

>>95168797
get the deluxe edition.

>>95168808

that price is way too high unfortunately. Thought about only buying stuff below 30€

I gotta mention that this is the first time for me that I'm actually buying TPs and HCs (usually I read everything digitally).

>>95168827

thanks man

Anyone know why "booksetc" have multiple delivery fees? Usually you get one fee per shipment but as far as I can tell, they are charging me for each book separately. what's up with that?

>TFW comic is apparently the sequel to a novel
Do I store the novels with my comics, the comics with the rest of my novels, or keep them separate?

>>95169511
they split it, look at it here:
delivery for the absolute: 1.49 bongdollars
3 books: split roughly even so that it ends up at 1.50 bongdollars

Got from amazon this week. The first copy of Seconds had a torn sleeve so that sucked, but returns are ezpz. I think I bought this set mostly because I read some of the Johnny Wander collection online before and in person at B&N it was pretty funny.

>>95154250
Eyyyy, I bought Shade too. Love this comic. I wouldn't have it, K6BD, Snotgirl, and Gwenpool in my collection if not for /co/.
