That Legends HC is super cool. I should really slow down on buying toys and knock off some of my HC collection.

It was from Amazon and they actually all came pristine, but i really havent had amazon issues. Being 2 hrs from the Indianapolis shipping point may help i dont know. You should hug her tight tonight, that vol 3 averages 300-400 right now. Lotta people with 1&2 that never got to complete the set. I know that's why I didn't bother but now that they decided to give it a black label reprint I'm tempted to trust DC making it to vol 3 again. I think I'm going to save the fifty and get the new print of vol 1,put the difference to another book entirely. ^burtle posted:Whats on your list zero? I’m moving and actually looking to downsize.

At some point I'll post my moore shelf, it's been quite the money pit E: and before anyone says anything I'm not just collecting anything with the last name moore, I'm aware Terry Moore is his own person..

Since you wished for it now by law dc will either scrap plans or solicit it for 6 years in a row I'm honestly nervous about the absolutes I have coming right now (swamp thing 1 & 2) after seeing how bad the vertigo first edition of volume one was in terms of quality control.. I should check the other ones I own. I'm going to be really mad if Daytripper has issues, kind of excited to re read that in a gorgeous book (please no whammies) Everyone should read or own Daytripper btw, never thought that edition was actually going to be up for sale. Took 2 years (3 maybe?)

obi_ant posted:Swamp Thing 1 is supposed to be fixed during this re-print. Daytripper has no issues that are widespread. My copy is good. Good to know on both counts. That 2019 run of volume 1 was sloppy. Like push it through vertigo as vertigo is set on fire sloppy. Really didn't want that to be the direction going forward. The only thing I heard prior to that book was v for vendetta has a weird spine problem where you have to manually shape it when you close the book.. Which is odd and why I'm dragging rear end on opening mine (reading that again is something I can wait to do for a few years and go after some backlog instead) Unrelated I don't really buy omnis at all, the Martha Washington SC @600 or so pages was the biggest book I had but tpb size makes it less intimidating.. In my latest round of ordering I went for ex machina hc omni (1400 pgs) when I saw they were doing it as compendiums now and the big drat sin city (1300 pgs) when I saw its available again out of nowhere.. I don't think I'm prepared for these. Feeling like I'm going to stack them horizontal on the bottom shelf. I'm guessing that box is going to be a good 15 pounds zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Nov 2, 2020 |

Ok so if you had one artist that was above and beyond without question your immediate favorite and it turned out that artist had released a signed/numbered limited edition of a retrospective of his work that entailed a bunch of plates of his work in a nice box with said sig on the plate guide.. And it was 300 but limited to 1000 copies.. Would you go for it

It's sienkiewicz. I went for it. I figure I'm never going to a con cuz it's not my thing so the chances of getting a signed anything are real low otherwise. I also doubt they'll be doing more than one of the proposed three art book volumes since it's been radio silence since book one.. so the idea of getting into a set that's like 350 per might not be a thing thankfully for my wallet (cgn came out to a bit less then 300 so that helps? Lol) Annnd the cheapest of my absolute whale list popped up, so I went for that too. (league Vol 2 for 125, sealed) I don't know if it's just me, but this pandemic was the kick in the rear end that got me to start buying things I was previously just eyeing. The combo of all the delayed things I had pre'd over the last year or two all dropping in 2020 instead and me realizing that the secondary market for hc or better is strong as hell unlike any other facet of comics. People will always just want the easiest way to own a series without the hassle, it's a readers market with more demand then supply thanks to the companies kind of sucking at speculating. The fact that if it came down to it everything I'm buying would sell at cover or cost at the least was all the ingredients needed to get me buying. I'll list out what I bought this year so far soon, I think if I talked about it anywhere else I'd just get judged for buying expensive books E; I also had funds this year that would have otherwise gone to the cinema, museum memberships and dining out, none of which was a thing.. So I feel like there's some balance. Retail therapy I guess zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Nov 3, 2020 |

zer0spunk posted:Anyone pick up anything this week? Am I the only one going hard lately lol It has been a huge week for me. On Friday I went to three comic shops (only found stuff at one of them), two Ollie's Bargain Outlets, and my local used bookstore, and came home with: Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky Volumes 3 and 4 TPBs (store had a BOGO TPB sale and I had store credit, so they were free.) Manhunter Volumes 2, 3, and 4 TPBs (I already had Volumes 1 and 5, so now I can read the whole thing. 1, 4, and 5 were Ollie's finds for $2.99 each, and 2 and 3 were from the used bookstore and paid for with store credit.) Secret Six: Cat's Cradle TPB (a book I've wanted for a while, $20 cover price and out of print; found at Ollie's for $3.99.) Suicide Squad Most Wanted: Deadshot TPB ($2.99 at Ollie's.) And I got three books in the mail from a trade: That nice Legends hardcover I showed Batman: Hush TPB Vigilante Volume 1 TPB (the '80s series I've been dying to read) I also won Suicide Squad Volumes 2 and 4 from an eBay seller for $12 each (both out of print with $20 cover prices), and hopefully they'll arrive this Saturday. I found Volumes 1, 3, 5, and 6 at Ollie's for $3.99 each over the last two months, so it'll be nice to have the set with no gaps.

Not bad at all. Sounds like you managed to plug a lot of holes for cheap. One day I'll get to see this mythical place called Ollie's. The best I can do on the east coast are thrift stores or garage sales. I went for dcs tpb collection of hard time in the hope that if enough people show it love they'll release a nicer version I can upgrade to someday. And all the buying on ist got absolute transmet 2 down to 70. I own the middle of a set and wishes that the other two happen

The entire moore run isn't that expensive if you want reader copies on the secondary market..

The rights poo poo show is something else, the fact that Disney ended up owning it is a mind gently caress The redone stuff got up to exactly where it stopped the last time and it's been 4 years at this point. I think they put out that gaiman first arc as a trade too with the recolors but I lost interest. Honestly thinking about it I don't think I've ever had a recolor and thought, oh this really did enhance everything. It's just varying degrees of how distracting they are with the absolute recoloring on watchmen the least offensive. It kinda drives me nuts in how often it's done. I have that oshc of hardboiled, even that got a recolor. I don't know if marvel is as bad as DC with this but bleh. I would have paid more for a straight reproduction of swamp thing in the saga absolutes! Cheap miracleman..

I decided to not dick around on release day for 90% of what is listed in previews from now to June 2021 that I would have bought anyway.. so I just put in a big rear end pre-order at tales and called it a day. Not sure if that was move or not, that was a brutal up front pre order but I assume if things cancel they'll refund as it happens. The expensive stuff I pred- Absolute planetary (one volume finally) 100 bullets omni 1 hc Locke and key collected +3 other smaller things like east of west 3 That leaves 3 other things I couldn't pre this month And then I'm officially ignoring previews and chilling in 2021..I find it best to irresponsibly spend for a year but do it compressed into one month haha
