Avengers shipped more often than New Avengers, so you can't really do an even switch, anyway.

bobkatt013 posted:How would you do it? New Avengers 1-3, then Avengers 1 on with New until Infinity? Would love to hear the answer, because I'm going to bind it, too, but haven't decided on order yet. Also been working on ordering Bendis' Avengers run, also including Secret Wars, The Pulse, Spider-Woman, Illuminati and more. I usually try to stick to alternating storylines, but it's getting increasingly more difficult as New/Mighty/Dark Avengers weave together more and more.

Uthor posted:If someone really, really love The Maxx (I only really love it). drat I had just finished collecting the run in various trades and single issues to get bound. Same thing just happened to me with Planetary. I buy reader copies and former library books so re selling isn't really worth it. I bought the Planetary Omni pretty cheap (about the same cost as binding it) and gave the floppies to my friend for his birthday The Maxx looks like it is getting eight absolute style re releases. Kinda bums me out they are only gonna be five issues each. This means I will probably go ahead with my bind since I imagine those books will be at least $25 - $30 each and I think I can bind the set in two volumes for $50. I bought the first ish to compare the new colors and I don't think it really adds anything.

Yeah, I like The Maxx, but I'm fine with the six tpbs (plus the first 6-7 floppies somewhere). I would have liked a Planetary Absolute, but not enough to deal with flipping those tpbs, either. I don't think I belong in this thread anymore; I've been pretty much fine with trades most of the time these days (though I'm pissed I started buying the Waid Daredevil tpbs a week before the hardcover got announced; it would have gone well with my Bendis OSHCs).

I owned it for a minute but had to sell it.

There's a few things I'm still going to get (Powers, the next Hickman FF, if they ever put out a Greg Rucka Punisher collection), there a few series I'm buying in TPB, and the rest I pick up through comiXology sales because my reading list is too long and I can wait.

Yeah, that looks pretty fantastic. Since the binds I've done so far are mostly material from 2000+ I've gone with hand-sewn. It'll be nice when I get around to some older stuff I want to do so I can go with the cheaper, non-hand-sewn binding and more issues per volume.

Showing off my new books:    At 42 issues, Rising Stars will probably end up being the largest book I'll bind.

You know I think it would be cool to get some 2000AD Prog's custom bound but I'd prefer to do it for a specific run of stories per character, so say a run of a Dredd story. Problem is, they're typically 3 pages worth at a time with one side of the last page being the end of the part and the next being the beginning of a totally unrelated character/story. Every 3rd page would have an awkward single side that has unrelated art on it.

Thanks to an overdue refund cheque from the electicity company I've finally got to grips with my backlog. I think I've made a lifelong enemy of my postie though, all these arrived in the last 3 or 4 days.  Still got the recent Kirby Inhumans trade and the latest Lucifer on the way too.

Would anyone happen to know if there's ever going to be a volume 2 of The Definitive Irredeemable? Tried contacting Boom! Studios and not heard anything back. Did it not sell well enough to warrant a second collection?

Big list of DC books for late 2014, early 2015. http://comicsbeat.com/new-titles-from-dc-comics-fall-2014-and-spring-2015 Lot of crap, as to be expected but Absolute Batman Inc stands out. A relief to see second volumes for Grell's Green Arrow and Ostrander's Martian Manhunter and Spectre too. Of course, lots of time for them to be cancelled before release.

Some things I picked out that seem interesting: 1. I wonder if they've made a mistake with that LSH "The Curse" listing. The description looks like it's from Levitz's more recent return to the title, but based on the other information I assume it's a paperback release of the deluxe hardcover from a couple of years back. 2. I'm trying to imagine what size that JSA Vol. 2 omnibus is going to be. 1312 pages (and 50+ issues!) sure sounds like an awful lot of material.  3. Looks like they're re-releasing the New Teen Titans as well, in trade format this time. They kinda dropped the ball with those omniboo so hopefully they'll have better luck this time. 4. If the "Superman: The Power Within" trade mentioned about three quarters of the way down is any indication, it could mean that after the next Man of Steel TPB they'll start collecting Stern's ten-year run. 5. Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus was basically inevitable. I wonder if there'll be any companion collections for Gibbons and Tomasi's corresponding work on GLC, since the early trades are hard to get and the two series are so closely linked. All in all, it looks like a pretty promising list. One thing I think Marvel's had over DC for a while is that they're generally better with getting their stuff collected (especially their classic stuff). Hopefully DC will catch up. There's a lot of older stuff they've done that I'm keen to read. Does Marvel often do great big lists like this or is this an oddity even for DC?

My hope was it would be a a part of a hypothetical Absolute RIP (Absolute Death and Return of Batman?), but it doesn't matter because there's no way we'll ever get RIP before Absolute Court of Owls or Absolute Death of the Family.
