Although re-purchasing books that I've read already isn't helping my wallet. Speaking of my wallet, is the Hellboy series over? Like the main story line? I've been reading the Library Editions and following the Mignolaversity guide. Seems like they added a volume 6 before Hellboy in Hell?

Yeah Hellboy is done. OSHC Watch: Reprinting of Uncanny X-Force from Remender and House of X / Powers of X will be getting the OSHC treatment before even trade I think.

Yes, all the time. Frequently have to demand a replacement. Normally scuffed covers like they’ve been knocked around the floor but also dented corners, busted spines and occasionally puncture damage. The penultimate volume of Walking Dead had a hole going fully front to back!

I only order from Instocktrades anymore, their packaging is seriously bomb proof. They always beat Amazon on price and it’s free shipping after $50.

I've had generally good luck with Amazon and HCs, although the vast bulk of my purchases come from IST. Some of the general complaints I see about Amazon makes me think the quality of shipping is heavily dependent on where it's shipping to and from.

Light denting at the top of the spine and dust jacket is the worst I've ever suffered from Amazon, though it does happen quite often. I once ordered a book from the Dutch megaretailer bol.com and it came with an extended slit to the dust jacket. It was a really precise one too, like it was done with a utility knife.

The Aquaman omnibus dropped to $32 so I chanced it and they sent it in a bubble envelope TWICE. Now we're arguing about my refund because they credited zero dollars to the original payment and the second item had a zero balance.

Pricing is better at IST. They also pack the books like a tank. There is no reason to buy books from Amazon.

Just throw it up for retail plus $30-$40, you're racing time on a reprint as is.

Anyone get their hands on the Mister Miracle hardcover? There’s not any extra content or anything, but the cover looks great in person. Probably going to donate the trade the next time my bar does a book exchange.

Yeah I made sure I guilted my old boss into making sure I got one. I really need to get back over there and pick up some new stuff. I strolled through Ollies the other day and got the Lois Lane 75th HC for $4.

Now we're arguing about my refund because they credited zero dollars to the original payment and the second item had a zero balance. Long time lurker but very infrequent poster. So bear with me here. I haven't had many issue with amazon. Worat i believe was one of the aliens digest sized omnis, i opened it and the pages fell away the spine immediately. They sent me a replacement that was double packed so i have no qualms ordering thru them. So far ive snagged the annihilation omnis, all of hickmans marvel omnis (ff and avengers....no secret warriors yet), and the first uncanny xforce by remender omni. Everything arrived in good shape Slight swerve, but this past friday was my.birthday and my girlfriend was acting way too excited about my gift. Turns out she got me all 3 volumes of absolute transmetropolitan and holy poo poo. Im slightly scared to open them. Gonna say shes a keeper. Im rebuilding my collection so those absolutes will help fill my shelf. I had a lot of stuff in storage, mainly a shitton of floppies from the 80s and 90s, and some one broke into my unit. Didnt steal much but left all my books in the pouring rain. Ive also snagged the planetary omni, duggans deadpool, the marvel zomnibus, as well as a bunch of OSHCs and the entirety of secret wars in trade. Because im lame. How are the recent venom omnis? And the wicked and the divine year collections? Im also eyeing the hellboy library collection. l33tfuzzbox fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Sep 22, 2019 |

Part of my want for the venom omnis is based on me having almost every floppy issue from the various 90s miniseries and it being lost in the incident. Hmm. Goos to know and wicdiv because ive only read the first trade and i MUST have more.

My buddy took me on a run through Dallas area comic shops, found four New Krypton era books I needed all below cover price. And scored a copy of the Super Sons Omnibus for retail. A good day all in all. Dallas shops are HUGE.

No releases interested me this week, so I purchased Harrow County by Jeff L. I enjoyed Black Hammer enough, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with Harrow County. Any comments about Sweet Tooth?

Sweet Tooth good, Harrow County not written by Lemire. But Harrow County also good unless the ending (haven't read) shits itself.

nthing the fact that Sweet Tooth is really good. In other news, it looks like DC has joined the Marvel school of flimsy trade paper stock. Vol. 2 is just over 300 pages and Vol. 3 is 350+ pages, but Vol. 3 is significantly thinner. Between this and future deluxe editions all being premiere hardcover sized instead of OHC, it looks like the golden age of Rebirth deluxe editions is over.

I guess I will be picking up Sweet Tooth next week. I enjoy picking up series that are finished or near finished. I don’t like picking up books that have a *long* wait before release... Low, East of West and Monstress

I've noticed that my ability to retain plot threads has vanished over the years. Like I can never remember what exactly has happened in East of West or Saga or etc. It basically means that I have to binge series, which usually means a years long wait for them to be finished, but at least there're usually nice HCs available. Getting old is certainly a thing.

Love it when volumes 1 & 2 of a 5 volume TPB are reasonably priced but then volumes 3,4 and 5 are sky high because they're OUT OF loving PRINT. (Unbelievable Gwenpool )
