). Now's your chance to change that crusty old avatar you've been holding on to for years at no cost to you! This contest is open to any Something Awful forum member except myself, and you must have some comic-related books in the photo. It doesn't matter if your books are stored in the finest Ikea-produced shelves available, or in a moldy cardboard box, just show off your stuff. You can post as many pictures as you want, but you will only be entered once. Good luck, one and all!

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:Is the I Kill Giants hardcover edition worth the extra money? Is it oversized or is it just extra stuff in the back? I've been meaning to pick it up and amazon has both but I'm not sure if I want to drop the extra 20 bucks. Not only is it oversized with extra material, but it also has an immeasurably better paper quality. Maybe the TPBs are better now, but every one I saw before was made with flimsy paper that seemed to absorb humidity and get wrinkly far easier than your average TPB. The hardcover is on beautiful paper and should last for years. It is $20 more, but considering that I thought the TPB wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, it was a no-brainer for me.

How often do you guys even read your Marvel Omnibus collections? I want the New X-Men really badly but it seems unwieldy. Maybe I'm just picky. I'd much rather have such a big run divided into 3 oversized hardcovers. Hell, you'd probably make more money off me that way.

Yeah if a run I want is over 1000 pages I'm probably going to just get the TPBs/OSHCs in the future, you do spend a little more overall, but it'd be a whole lot more manageable.

redbackground posted:The listing at Comicbookdb of the single Gemstone volume shows 268 pages (vs the 2 Boom HCs at a total of a similar 272--double checked my copies). Discrepancy!--you say yours is ~300 pages? Looks like the page counts on amazon for the BOOM HCs are wrong.

It's a mix of photos, memorabilia, DVD sets, and stuff. However you wanted me to post my entire collection, no matter where it was housed. Ikea bookshelves assemble! My artist friend was kind enough to arrange my books for me as payment to previous favors. (She loves Marko Djurdjevic. That book is covering my TPB run of 100 Bullets.) I am currently reading through Absolute Promethea volume 3.

 This is my meager bookshelf. Not pictured are a couple absolutes I got for Christmas and at the verrrry top is Wednesday Comics. For the love of god don't click this link because it goes ginormous. It's already bowing on me, but it was a $20 Walmart job so meh. If ikea didn't want $400 shipping to my area I'd get a billy.

What was the final verdict on the Invisibles omni? Is it sturdy and readable or does all the art get lost in the gutters and it feels like all the pages are going to fall out?

Aw, what the hell, here are some lovely phone images of my modest collection. There's some manga hanging out on another shelf, notable Battle Angel and Blade of the Immortal as well as a Nausicaa boxset. The 4th volume of Elephantmen is kicking it out of frame as well.

All the names were printed out on cards (each with a different pixel art superhero!) and were placed into the nearest bucket-type item I could find, which was a felt, robot, Easter basket...thing. The Big Winner is...   KingShiro! (with classy pixel-Catwoman helpin' out)  PM me or post your email address so I can send you the gift certificate.
