TheManWithNoName posted:I really hope DC puts out another Showcase of Warlord. I just finished reading volume one. A really fun book, once you get past the kind of cliched, goofy premise. Mike Grell's artwork is gorgeous in black and white. Definitely one of my favorite Showcases so far.

So if a local used bookstore had the entire Spirit series at about $30/book, I should buy them all? Because this will be my one chance?

Rhyno posted:It was Atlantis Attacks for me. The second I put it on the bookshelf I realized I'd never read it or half of the books I'd bought in the last year. I was starting Atlantis Attacks when Acts of Vengeance Crossovers showed up. That was it for me. The only reason I have the Byrne F4 is because Amazon briefly sold it for under $60. Deep down I know it was Secret Wars 2 that broke me, though. The awful dust jacket should have been warning enough but I had to read it.

Random Stranger posted:Does anyone know if the third Tomb of Dracula omnibus has had the art edited? Marvel changed some of the art around the previous time they reprinted the Tomb of Dracula magazines and if it has been in that one then I'm not going to buy it... As for Spidey, maybe it's the USMC stuff, not the older stuff? There's going to be one for the post-Ultimatum Ultimates and the Spidey run up to his death wasn't that long sooo... fingers crossed.

As an owner of Secret Wars 2 Omnibus I can verify that even the 5x5 Expidit is more than capable of containing both its weight and awfulness. They can also hold books as big as an Absolute. I think the limits so far have been Wednesday Comics, a couple of the larger C. Ware Acme books, and the Prince Valiant books being released by Fantagraphics. They're also deep enough to hold two layers of dvd cases, although you can't stack dvds 2-high. Zachack fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Feb 18, 2012 |

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:There is a minor Secret Invasion tie-in (that's when the team was first introduced, and they helped fight off the Skrulls in Central Park), and some Dark Reign stuff with Norman Osborn being in charge of everything and HAMMER having replaced SHIELD, but that's about the extent of it. That said, I think I read Secret Warriors prior to reading almost any of Dark Reign (I knew Osborn was in charge from reading Fraction's Iron Man), and read Secret Wars 3 long after (it's kinda so-so, don't bother), and enjoyed the poo poo out of Secret Warriors. I used Wikipedia a bit to look up old HYDRA stuff, as it deals with HYDRA fairly extensively.

It's been a while since I've received anything that didn't fit in the Chosen Shelves aka Ikea Expedit but today I think I've hit the largest thing yet, only topped in area by Wednesday Comics, and I think it's my highest volume book yet. I present: Chris Ware's Building Stories (image stolen from amazon). Now to figure out the reading order.

bobkatt013 posted:Iron Man is the start of the Stane storyline and Jim Rhodes as Iron Man Trades. The omni is immense and having read the letters in the monthlies I don't think they add much if any value. You also might not like it, in which case the trades will let you stop instead of committing ~$100 for the omni. Zachack fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Apr 21, 2013 |

While IST is clearly better at packaging (and deals if you jump on/cross the $50 barrier) are those of you getting bad Amazon deliveries using Prime? I have Prime and the packaging for most of my books has been pretty decent, with only very minor corner dinging. The only real damaged book I received from them was a Prince Valiant HC that looked like someone had bent it over their knee. I'm curious if there's a difference due to reduced shipping times and reliance on OnTrac for delivery.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:How many Stray Bullets giant hardcovers are there? Three? I've got the first one and suddenly today I was struck with the idea that soon Stray Bullets will be impossible to read and there will never be any more. Why would they be hard to find? Is Lapham trying to erase any evidence of his pre-Avatar output?

I'd assume that, particularly for a more unknown property, if your goal is to get increased exposure to non-readers (good luck) you have a lot better chance if the cost of entry is ~$20 instead of ~$65.

Bitchin Kitchen posted:Only ya'll can answer my question, ya'll are my only hope: Probably, it's not huge like Secret Wars 2 or the ridiculous Amazing Spider-Man. Honestly though I'd never read an omni on a plane and never bring comics that aren't on a tablet - the ratio of content:weight is too unbalanced.

GrandpaPants posted:So I guess they're not going to print any more of those giant collections? They were really great, despite being pricy as hell. If you mean the splendid Sundays books then I think those were a different publisher, and since Nemo is public domain they could be reprinted. Comparing the dimensions of the new and old books makes the old one seem bigger, but I'm not sure what the margins were like and the new one is the size of legal paper so I'd assume it's full size?

Uthor posted:I have a single volume collecting it all, but it's only slightly oversized (about the size of a Marvel OSHC) that definitely could use some cleanup (you can see the backs of the newspaper pages bleeding through from the scans). It was only $30, so hard to complain about it. I have that one but didn't think it covered the whole series. I also now own the megabook and will concur that it is huge. It shipped from Amazon in a box which contained another box which contained the Nemo box which contained the Nemo books.

Their prices are usually not good and beating IST often requires planets to align. There are a couple exceptions (Fantagraphics in particular) but generally it goes IST then Amazon then Amazon marketplace then Amazon warehouse deals then B&N.

Hakkesshu posted:Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just really want to start collecting Hickman's whole Avengers run. The original TPBs seemed like a pretty raw deal considering there's some overlap there between issues of both books and the big Infinity hardcover. It all comes down to your level of ocd but I would just buy A/NA hardcovers and get the Infinity tpb. Shelf-look is everything and do you really want a peasant NA trade in the middle of NA hardcovers? No, you don't.

At a glance Time Runs Out looks like a regular tpb but in hc, a loathsome practice. If history is any guide the oshc A/NA books up to secret wars will just be numbered, no subtitles.
