Probably whenever they decide to relaunch the book again.

That was because of a dodgy policy set up by Levitz it's when he was publisher, right? From what I've heard, he pretty adamantly refused to collect his own run so he could justify not collecting anyone else's stuff, but it's probably a bit more complex than that.

Dark Horse is wasting no time with the EC Archives license. Vault of Horror Vol. 3 is coming out next month, now listings for Weird Fantasy Vol. 1 (May 13) and Two-Fisted Tales Vol. 3 (Aug 12) are up on Amazon as well. Fantagraphics is also putting out a nice slipcase collection of their first four black and white EC books in April if that's your thing.

Loving this! Despite having the EC Annuals and EC Library, I'm buying it again. Help!

Found a 2008 Hardback of Watchmen on eBay for £3 so I nabbed that right away. Only real damage is a little denting on the bottom of the book, mostly on the dust cover which I care naught for. Have never read this before so I'm looking forward to it.

I've been debating whether to trade in my Walter Simonson FF Visionaries trades and pre-order the forthcoming "Into the Timestream" Epic Collection. I haven't decided yet. Simonson's run may be short but I'd actually rate it above Waid and the second half of Byrne, and it seems to include the "Days of Future Present" crossover, but the only problem is it doesn't have his whole run when it's just about the right length (about twenty issues) for one of these books.

What does everyone think of the Epic Collections so far? I have the DeFalco/Frenz Thor one and I think it's pretty good.

My signed copy of SP 1 was stolen and I haven't gotten to a con he's attended since then. Also HC > all other editions. I also have that new DMZ hc in my box waiting to be purchased.


Edit: So I have about 11 HCs on hold at work so I sucked it up and bought the DD, Inhumans and DMZ books. I am now dirt-rear end poor.

Really glad I picked mine up last year. If you're hard up for IKEA there's a knockoff of them sold through the Better Homes & Gardens brand at Wal Mart.

Edit: I did a stock check and no IKEA within a reasonable distance is even starting to run low. I am tempted to grab dad's truck and make a run to Ohio on monday though.

I wonder what these rounded corners are going to look like. I think the thinner material just means the sides will have a smaller profile. The current Expidit is just a hollow particle board box with cardboard inside.

I seriously thought that picture was like a hornet's nest before I read the post.

As long as the new line doesn't change the integrity of the inner walls, I'm ok with it. The reason expedits are so popular is they hold a lot of loving books and don't bow. I just hope it doesn't look terrible next to old expedits because that's like 80% of my house right now.

REAL TALK

Going to IKEA Canton tomorrow to pick up some Detolfs, figure I may as well grab some Expedits since they'll be extinct soon. Just trying to decide if I should future proof myself here and buy and extra 1x5 piece.

I recently moved, and picked up a bunch of Large Wooden Crates for 19.97 at Home Depot. I stack them two high - they're a little too short to hold the tallest omnibuses, and their inner surface is a little bit rough, but I think they do the job just fine. Though you could go check them out at the store to see if they meet your standards.

Those don't seem very usable as they wouldn't be very stable if you stack them too high.

The outside edges are half as thick so the new shelves will be a full inch smaller. I'd prefer to just get the shelves that match while I can.

I yiffed two people at once and all I got was laughed at.
Went to the Ikea in San Diego today and they were already totally out of the 78 x 78 black Expedits. They still had the single width 78 black ones, but it would have cost 100 bucks more for the same storage, so I passed, since I don't already have ones I need to match. Hopefully any San Diego goons got what they needed.

I got my Infinity hardcover in the mail yesterday. Is it just me or is the quality of Marvel hardcovers falling through the floor? The paper is super flimsy, a bunch of art and dialog is lost in the gutter, and the spine is stiff so the pages don't lay flat. For the ever increasing price on this poo poo I'd hope they'd at least justify it through sustained production values.

It's been mentioned a lot on the Masterworks Messageboard and Bleeding Cool picked up on it form there. You're not alone. A lot of people are super unhappy with the quality of some Marvel books right now.

On the same subject, what are the Hawkeye and Daredevil OSHCs like for paper quality? Been meaning to pick them up but if they're as bad as Infinity then I'll skip.

Really? Thought it was mid-2013, and I don't really know what the normal turnaround is on that sort of stuff. I guess I'm spoiled by how quick the turnaround was on the Infinity hardcover.
