A question for those of you that buy floppies and collected editions: Growing up I never had a problem with deciding on purchases. If I had it in floppies I didn't buy it and if I didn't have it and wanted it I'd get the trade. However, we're at a point where everything is collected, in multiple editions. I've been fascinated looking at other people's shelves and I get jealous when I see someone like Glen Danzig post really great collections, but I know that if I didn't get floppies and buy the same poo poo multiple times I could have a collection like that. Does anyone else get caught up in thought like that, trying to make decisions on collection possibilities, "should I forgo this series in floppies?" "Is there going to be a better collection?" The majority of my collection is like the first and second collection of a series and no more, because I went on to finish out the collection in floppies. Lately i feel like I have to predict series, by guessing, "Will Hawkeye be big enough it'll get a nice hardcover collection or omnibus?" "Will I care enough about about what's going on in Avengers that I need to get it monthly?" Not that buying things twice is a huge deal, I like something enough and I have no problem, but it just means there's less money to buy more things. I find that I think about it more around con season or when I go out of town to other stores (was in San Diego this weekend). I'm curious if anyone else has this discussion with themselves or how they reconcile it. I really am thinking of becoming a trade waiter and only supporting independent or smaller books in monthly purchases. Thoughts?

Shawn posted:Thoughts? It's easy for me as I rarely enjoy anything in monthly form. I might just watch to many TV shows, read too many novel and comics to remember everything going on from month to month. I get much more enjoyment from reading things once they are done or once story arcs is completed than I do reading monthly. I also get much more enjoyment from having a nice library with bookshelves full of great collected editions than I do by having a bunch of bagged and boarded comic books in crappy cardboard boxes in a closet somewhere.

Just picked up the Sleeper Omnibus. I hope it's as good as the first one. Speaking of omnibuses, should I pick up the Wolverine omnibus by Mark Miller?

I assume that's Enemy of The State, and I'm of the opinion that the storyline sucks, so no.

Nice. Anyone who preordered the Hawkeye Vol. 1 TPB from Amazon, did theirs ship today? Yesterday it was listed as coming out March 6th, but today I see it said March 19th (yet my preorder is still scheduled to arrive March 8th).

I just double-checked (I used my wife's Prime account), and even though it still hasn't shipped, it still says March 8th is the delivery estimate. Weird. I really got my hopes up yesterday, needless to say!

Has the TPB for Avengers vs X-Men been solicited yet? Amazon mistakenly links to the TPB of "AvX: Vs" instead. (god, what stupid titles)

Has US amazon always had a surcharge for heavy objects? Or have I somehow been avoiding it by ordering from overseas? 4$ per shipment + 4$ per book + 6$ for heavy items. which is still admittedly better than anywhere else if you're living in a country that isn't the US or UK.

It's not REALLY about "normal people" for very long. The relationship stuff is there in significant quantities, but it's basically a straight-up thriller.
