The concept is so inherently sinister that it seems like everyone goes, "Hey, maybe Peter Pan is actually a bad guy!" If it had turned out that way I would have rolled my eyes; the character it turned out to be was a much better choice though I think the build up and reveal could have been handled better.

Anyone know if the last Punisher MAX run (by Jason Aaron) is going to be collected in a hardcover? The Garth Ennis stuff was all bundled together but the series ended last year and there are only TPBs out.

The omni is immense and having read the letters in the monthlies I don't think they add much if any value. You also might not like it, in which case the trades will let you stop instead of committing ~$100 for the omni. Zachack fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Apr 21, 2013 |

bobkatt013 posted:Iron Man is the start of the Stane storyline and Jim Rhodes as Iron Man According to the latest collected editions news release from DC, there are also Deluxe HCs on the way later on this year or early next year. Personally, the omnibus is just too big for me so I stuck with the trades. Might upgrade to the Deluxes when they come out. With the monthlies you do get the letters pages though and they are occasionally worth a read.

If I recall, Tom B said Hickman outlined for 60 issues, so we basically got half of the story.

Alright then! Got the X-Statix brand new for $39, Secret Warriors (because I like everything of Hickman's I've read and can't wait for the FF omni), and the Morrison Action Comics Vol 1 hardcover. A good ol' haul.

X-Force, just before the switch the X-Statix, was what got me into comic books. The cover of issue 128 and the art within sold me on the form. Discovering that every artist isn't Mike Allred was something of a blow.

Wachter posted:I demand an explanation as to why these ludicrous Omnibus discounts don't apply in the UK Just order from Amazon.com. Their cheapish shipping combined with the exchange rate makes it worth your while, and while they claim Economy shipping takes about a month you'll usually have your package within about 10 days. I've used the USA site whenever Marvel UK's crappy editions have meant the proper US editions aren't stocked on Amazon UK.

The Garth Ennis stuff was all bundled together but the series ended last year and there are only TPBs out. I've been looking out for this and nothing has materialized yet. It's kind of weird to be honest, the run was great and they even collected his Ghost Rider stuff in omnibus format shortly after he finished it. I'm feeling like I need to hurry up and just get the HCs because as the Punisher Ennis situation shows, Marvel is completely content to let those go OOP.

I just ordered the Doctor Strange Masterworks V.5, is V.4 necessary at all? I don't really have that much experience with the character but I have heard good things about the crazy psychedelic art from this era.

I don't really have that much experience with the character but I have heard good things about the crazy psychedelic art from this era. The stuff in Masterworks v4 is probably the most skippable chunk of Dr. Strange stories from the era. That covers a brief period where they tried to make Dr. Strange into a standard superhero (the blue face era) and a really rambling Lovecraft pastiche where the storyline went through about four different writers in five issues. Right after this things improve dramatically as Englehart takes over and they do the Shuma-Gorath storyline. And that volume contains the first storyline of the 1974 series which is what made me love the character. You chose wisely. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Apr 24, 2013 |

I also picked up Marvel Masterworks: Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Volume 3 because drat those Steranko covers are awesome. Snagged both for under $25 each. Will these make good stand alone volumes? I don't really want to go down the MMW road much more. poo poo is expensive yo.

Already starting to purge and I'm not moving til the end of July. Of course, that's not much of a dent yet.  Or maybe  I just don't want to have to move it all.

Last time I moved, I went with boxes half filled with books, half filled with towels/DVDs/anything else light. Same total number of boxes, but about half the weight in each.

At the end of this crazy day, all the short Russian fellow who had done the moving could say was "you must read a lot, eh?" In retrospect, I'm still amazed the move went so well and I totally dread the next one. Every time I'm about to order or pre-order something, I think about all these loving boxes and how many more we'll have next time.

I got to talk to Mark Waid at C2E2 for about 5 minutes and asked him about the rumored Waid Cap Omnibus and he said he and Ron Garney have already talked to Marvel about it. Waid isn't too hot on it because of the issues he took his name off of being included but while they wanted to leave out Sentinel of Liberty. Hopefully the Busiek Iron Man Omni sells well enough that this one actually happens next year.

Is there any word on whether/when we might see a Powers Hardcover Vol. 6? I guess at this point all that's left to collect is the 11 issues of Volume 3 of the comic, which I think would be the same quantity as in the first hardcover volume, so it seems to make sense.

The fifth came out not that long ago and they have been slowly releasing them. I'm sure the sixth will come out eventually, but you'll wait for it.
