Are the two Marvel Strange Tales hardcovers oversized, or regular sized?

And just after getting the first Osamu Tezuka Buddha hardcover, I find out some of the others are OOP and overpriced. Go figure. Guess I'll just fill the blanks with the paperbacks. Hardcover snobbery can only take you so far in this hobby.

It would really be nice if DC would print a new edition of the Warren Ellis Authority issues so I could ifll these drat special requests.

The main OSHCs from Marvel for Decemberquote:UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN OMNIBUS HC No real surprises as I think all of these were listed in the Hachette PDF a while ago. Don't think I'll bother with any of these. I did like Untold Spidey but I've still got all the single issues somewhere and I didn't like it that much to warrant an upgrade.

The Dark Tower omnibus was in the solicitations as well but that's been covered already. Also who could resist this: quote:SPIDER-MAN: THE PSAS TPB And hey, Marvel's doing their first non-superhero, non-horror Essential with Rawhide Kid! Maybe someday they'll get around to reprinting Sgt. Fury.

And I may pick up Rawhide Kid too, never read it before. Is the Dark Tower solicit a second print or something? Didn't it come out a few weeks ago?

God dammit. Speaking of forgotten orders, why did I forget that I pre-ordered "Holy Terror" in a fit of madness?

I got some stuff today from Amazon. For some reason they didn't ship BPRD vol 2 despite it being in stock. It's still preparing to get shipped.

Glenn Danzig posted:Holy mis-folded dust jacket! I've had a few really badly misfolded dustjackets recently. And guess what? They're all on DC hardcovers because of their "We can't be arsed to shrinkwrap stuff" policy. My Gene Colan Batman HC was mis-folded at a really awkward angle. It took a fair bit of coaxing but I did mange to get it back into a reasonable shape.

I hope the next BPRD hardcover is solicited soon, I need my fix! Volume 2 was fantastic.

Bloody hell, even the shrinkwrapping doesn't help. Got my New teen titans Omnibus this morning and the spin's about a centimetre and a half askew. I'm not anal about these things so I won't be sending it back, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't get me a bit narked. Also got the NTT: Games GN, not read it yet but it's a really nice looking book. The old-school GN format has perfect dimensions.

I seem to remember hearing about a second Fraction Iron Man omnibus being announced a long while back or something, but I'm not seeing anything onAmazon. When was this supposed to be coming out?

Took me a bit of digging to find it when I ordered one but it's listed as simply Invincible Iron Man Vol. 2. http://www.amazon.com/Invincible-Iron-Man-Vol-2/dp/0785145532/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317524877&sr=1-1

Yeah, they called volume 1 of Fractions's IIM an omnibus but it's just an OSHC.

It's not like the jackets are *creased* along their current fold lines -- they're just rounded a bit. You can fold them backwards along the same lines and they'll flatten right out. It's a little annoying, sure, but certainly not return-worthy...

Last week I decided that it was finally about time that I got around to reading Tintin. And given the length of the series I thought the best option would be to order the box set for the series. It arrived today and I was surprised to find out that it lacked three stories: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin and Alph-Art. I know that the first two are highly controversial at best and supposedly not very good and the last one is an unfinished work but the entire point of a box set is to collect everything. I can understand where they might not want to present the two stories featuring racist caricatures first; they could have shoved them into a volume in the back with an essay explaining their place in the stories. Skipping over both ends of the Tintin stories just seems the wrong way to do this.

But then you would render the box set unsuitable for children, prudes and anyone who just wanted to read Tintin stories. Those three books (speaking as someone who owns all of them) are ephemera at best. There is literally no reason to read them unless you have a deep interest in Hergés development and art, something that most people who read Tintin - hell, that generalises to everything - don't. Also, they're awful. Dude, you aren't missing anything.

Anyway, if you haven't read this yet, you're in for a treat. There's some very good stuff in there, as classic to me as Eisner, Kirby or Tezuka can be (and these guys are my big 3). drat, I should look for a box set in french or something. All I have are old rear end hardcovers published in 1980. In other news, my Kamandi HC has shipped. I think it's the collected edition I've been the most excited about this year.

The most annoying thing about the Tintin box set is they are micro sized. I was expecting fullsize books. It is a shame to have the art shrunk down.

That is disappointing as I was going to buy this for Christmas. Guess I'll be saving up and buying the full sized individuals.

You'd think with a movie they would release a hardcover full size box set but my amazon searches have turned up nothing.... Some interesting biographys on Herge are coming out though. Tintin Companion is worth a look and there are a few art books that are fun to flip through.

I'm really hoping that the hundred bullets hardcovers have nice paper. Like the Fables hardcovers, and not like the Y the last man, and Preacher ones. Wishful thinking on my part?

redbackground posted:I like the YTLM paper stock. It's not glossy, but there's weight and durability to it, and it's miles above what the hardcover Swamp Things get. I really don't like how matte it is, and the covers themselves show that quality really wasn't their goal. If the Fables one wasn't so much better in terms of production value I would just assume that's the best they can do. You're right about the Swamp thing hardcovers though, and i'm sure if it does turn out to be matte plenty of people will still like it.

Anyone know the odds on Jason Aaron's Punisher Max coming out in OSHC/Omni? Thwipster has the regular HCs on sale today, and I need to decide if I want to wait.
