bobkatt013 posted:It is really good I've just finished the first deluxe volume of Y and can't wait to read more. Agreed too that the book itself is very well made. Having read the first 6 issues of Saga before this, Vaughan is good at creating very interesting deep characters and letting them breathe a bit as opposed to nonstop action. The story moves at a bit slower pace but it's not boring in any way.

I just reread the whole thing, and thought the first volume was the weakest. It is still good, but Vaughn's big flaw of using all characters for exposition and Op-Eding is really front and center. Once the setup is out of the way I enjoyed it a lot more.

Does B&N charge you right away for a pre-order, or when the order ships?

If you're a fan of Brubaker I'd say get it without hesitation. My only major complaint was where it stopped. The first miniseries is reasonably self-contained but the second was building storylines. Even though it's main plot was complete it goes into was is clearly supposed to be the hook for the next one.

I know, I could just split up the order, especially as a B&N member, but their buy 2 get 1 deals often include pre-orders and I'd rather they took Amazon's lead and made things a bit more convenient on the mailing side of things.

Why are Marvel's Ultimate Collection tbp's so expensive? Unless the couple of trades they contain are out of print it always seems cheaper to buy those couple of trades separately.

Unless the couple of trades they contain are out of print it always seems cheaper to buy those couple of trades separately. Most of the time, they don't release the Ultimate Collection TPBs until the original shorter TPBs fall out of print. Sometimes you can still find OOP TPBs (and sometimes even at a discount), but other times they become rare and go for inflated prices on the secondary market. Warren Ellis' first Thunderbolts TPB, Faith in Monsters, was rare and expensive for a while, but seems to have leveled out since the Ultimate Collection with both of his volumes came out.

It probably doesn't help that the specific example I'm looking at is The Ultimates which I suppose Marvel was never going to let the trades go OOP and get expensive in the year of The Avengers.

West Coast Avengers Omnibus coming http://www.amazon.com/Avengers-West-Coast-Omnibus/dp/0785167455 quote:Earth's Mightiest Heroes head west! Hawkeye splits from the Avengers and sets up shop in California. But his newly recruited Avengers "franchise" team - including Tigra, Wonder Man, Mockingbird and an all-new Iron Man - soon find themselves in over their heads! Meanwhile, Ultron and the Grim Reaper target Wonder Man's "brother," the Vision...and his wife the Scarlet Witch! Can the West Coasters keep this complex bloodline from getting bloodier? Meh. Also, an OSHC for The Twelve https://www.amazon.com/Twelve-J-Michael-Straczynski/dp/0785127151

That said, all five of the US case files are marked down to 13 bucks on Amazon right now. I'm hoping some more come out once the movie hits, but I'm not sure how the whole IDW situation might affect them. The contents of all the volumes are the same, however, so you can buy the US ones and then get the UK ones if they stop releasing them. The only reason not to is if you're really pedantic about the spines, but the spines for both sets are all hosed up anyway so it's not a big deal.

Edit: Shameless posted:BookDepository.com does free worldwide shipping. This would've been really nice but it says they're out of stock of Volumes 1-4 right now. I'll keep checking back on there.

They're mostly white and feature different head shots of Judge Dredd on all the volumes (except for 3, which has Judge Death).

Hard Time Vol. 2 is actually going to come out according to the December solicts which is crazy because I never thought that would happen. I can't wait to read what happens next.

redbackground posted:One of my favorite comics. I would love for Ellis to come back to this one day. Me too, and it's a drat shame the show was never picked up, as it was the perfect concept for action-packed episodic television. I loved Ellis' too-short Secret Avengers run because it was all done-in-one, high-stakes storylines, like Global Frequency but with Steve Rogers, Sharon Carter, Black Widow, Beast, and Moon Knight.

Is there any reason why Essential X-Men #9 is out of print? I just finished reading the first eight volumes and I don't want to skip it/don't want to pay the ridiculous prices I've seen on eBay.
