That mapping is loving trash and what's worse is knowing that Marvel has already mapped out volumes 6 and 7 so there's almost certainly no way of convincing them to reconsider this poo poo edit; i think this conversation actually belongs in the industry terribleness thread, gently caress you marvel ugghhhh Happy Hippo fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Aug 29, 2022 |

I finished Geoff Johns's Green Lantern a long time ago, but skipped Brightest Day (also skipped Darkest Night). Is it worth diving into considering it's a different writer?

Has anyone else picked up the Miracleman omnibus? I'm reading it for the first time and in wondering if the colours have been redone. They seem really good for 1982, having recently read material from that era like JLI, COIE, etc.

It doesn’t have the same grimy feeling as the original issues, which is a negative for me.

The only really bad recolor I’ve seen was the Moore Swamp Thing absolute edition. They absolutely ruined the psychedelic segments. The Mage hardcover recoloring by Matt Wagner’s son takes away a lot of the charm of the early issues in particular. I had to track down the old softcover collected editions from the 80s to make it feel right.

I really hate the recoloring of Flex Mentallo. It's just so different from the originals, not just trying to make it nicer. When digital colors was first getting mainstream, a lot of the recoloring would do too much with gradients and such. It's gotten more subtle and better over time. I think what they did for the first 20 or so issues of Sandman were good, just trying to make it nicer, not different. The Casanova collections did recoloring well. The originals were monochromatic. The collections added new colors, but didn't go over the top, leaving a feel of the monochromatic design. I've never read the colored Bone.

Whatever issues InStockTrades was having with warehouse movement seem to be resolved, I placed an order on Wednesday last week and got it on Sunday. I got the Miracleman omnibus and the complete Die, they have a DCBS exclusive gold cover and the book is intriguingly labeled as "Book One".

Their shipping time may have improved (4 of my orders I've made since the week after last Thanksgiving were in hand 7-8 days after ordering) but their inventory tracking on the site sucks. My 5th order resulted in an email saying one of my books was out of stock and asking if I wanted to sub another title or get a refund. I went with a sub and then got another email saying my sub pick was out of stock. 2nd time, I opted for the refund. And both titles are still showing up as being able to be added to the cart.

I have gotten packages with a letter saying one of the books wasn't in stock and they would send it to me when they got it. They charged me for that book and I had to email their customer service to get it canceled and refunded. Yes, they charged me for a book they didn't have multiple times.

For me, the cheap trade is the finest form of comic. We talk about the price of comics, and trades are kind of like paperbacks for novels, the most affordable way, at least for a lot of Image books etc. Though digital has its upsides. I notice sometimes trade prices can creep up to say $20 usd for 5 issues, say the last two IDW Usagi Yojimbo trades. That's 4 dollars an issue, so it's not really more affordable than single comics at that point, which isn't a great deal. Usagi is worthwhile though, and had 7 issues for the same price for a few trades before that. Probably since it's leaving IDW. Speaking of Usagi, I hope back at Dark Horse they keep doing full size regular trades, rather than the more digest sized ones. I wonder if he'll keep it in color as well. I bought two of the Usagi Yojimbo saga books, and for me that's too far in the other direction, they're heavy as bricks. I like a light book I can raise up to my cranium. I have some deluxe hardcovers, but I think the cheap trade is the way to go to spread the comic word far and wide. Kirkman's books tend to have some decent trade prices, the latest Fire Power vol 5 is 16.99, $2.83 an issue, I can dig that. I'd say $20.99 for 6 issues is as high as I'd like to go at the moment. Another fun thing I noticed, graphic novels don't have sales tax, at least in my state. Regular novels do have sales tax though, I guess its comics relation to periodicals that let graphic novels have no sales tax. I like it.

Amazon is closing The Book Depository, which is lame. That was my go-to site for Judge Dredd Case Files and cool UK releases like that. Looking into another good site for that, without shipping and price being bumped way up. Looks like Blackwells might be decent. In general it would be cool for the Judge Dredd Case Files to be available in more US stores. I used to get orders from 2000AD's online shop back in the day, but it's not doable with their shipping prices now. For example it'd cost $17.24 for them to ship Case Files vol 41 to the US. I'm not a shipping expert, maybe these giant companies are able to get better deals for their cheap/free shipping. Or they're eating losses or something. The finest comic ever should be more readily available across the pond. I use tfaw.com for my direct market stuff, and they don't have Dredd Case Files up for pre-order for example either. One day I'm probably gonna be buying this series on ebay like a schnook. To quote Goodfellas.

Been forever since I used them. They annoyed me a handful of times by charging me for my entire order and I would get a package missing a book and including a note saying they would mail me the missing one when they got it, ironically, back in stock. I waited a bit every time, then just got them to refund me. I don't know if they updated that policy.

Yeah, I haven't used them in a while but my impression is they're mostly good folks who went a bit to poo poo around/just before the pandemic. Or maybe that's just me, I don't know

I asked for a refund and they magically got the book back in stock and was shipped 30 minutes prior to my email. Overall they’re still the only place I use.

I've only had one bad experience with them since last November (see about 10 posts up) and it was resolved. I've used them frequently since then and had no issues. Their shipping times have been decent since Ive been using them and their packaging has always been excellent.

Does anyone know the best way to track when Marvel Omnibus reprints are happening? I really want a copy of Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol 2 but it seems to sell out within weeks of reprinting. It was last reprinted in 2020 so probably due for another one in the next year or two and I don't want to miss it.

Uncanny Omni #2 is supposed to be getting a reprint next year, according to Omar from NMC: https://youtu.be/D2OtNc3prRc?feature=shared r/OmnibusCollectors is probably one of the best ways to keep track of Marvel omnibus release dates. They've got a pinned post that has links to NMC videos for upcoming new/reprint releases that have been announced.
