Excuse me has anybody brought the second BPRD hardcover? I ask this, because it's currently under review on amazon so i'd like to know if there are errors in it before I buy it from a third party. Thanks for the help.

The Missing Link posted:I bought it and didn't notice any glaring problems with it. However, i never read the source material to begin with, so i wouldnt have noticed if something was missing or out of order. My copy looks fine. BowieFett posted:I bought a copy from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and I didn't notice anything wrong with it. I think this is the second time that book has gone under review though, so I don't know what the deal is. Thanks guys I am going to go ahead and buy it from instocktrades.

I'm really hoping that the hundred bullets hardcovers have nice paper. Like the Fables hardcovers, and not like the Y the last man, and Preacher ones. Wishful thinking on my part?

redbackground posted:I like the YTLM paper stock. It's not glossy, but there's weight and durability to it, and it's miles above what the hardcover Swamp Things get. I really don't like how matte it is, and the covers themselves show that quality really wasn't their goal. If the Fables one wasn't so much better in terms of production value I would just assume that's the best they can do. You're right about the Swamp thing hardcovers though, and i'm sure if it does turn out to be matte plenty of people will still like it.

Seeing as how I was the one that was worried about this the most, I want to say I am very pleased with the 100 bullets hardcover. The paper is excellent and the design is very good.    Here's some extremely poor cellphone pictures, the front dust jacket is very nice and you can't tell in these pictures but its embossed.

Would you guys mind checking your local stores if they have the Batman Broken City Hardcover? I'd pay whatever price they want for it (so long as it's reasonable, retail) and pay shipping. Or if any of you guys have it and want to sell it if it's in good condition I will buy it.

Does anybody know why there is a line of new Powers hardcovers? What's their quality like I never got the definitive editions and I know those had some gutter loss issues.

ShortStack posted:Is Thwipster good about things like your orders not being damaged or returns if something is? I'd really like to get my hands on the two BPRD hardcovers but I'm kinda iffy on dropping 40bux without any sort of feedback regarding the site. They are really good about the way they package things they wrap everything in plastic and tape it to a board.

If you guys don't mind me asking is anybody interested in buying Blackest night green lantern HC, Blackest Night HC, and Blackest Night GLC for 10 dollars each preferably together? They're all quite nice I just have no idea why I bought them. Yeah Actions release is really reasonable it's just been solicited really early.

Corbet posted:Does anybody know where I can get Morrison's Batman and Robin Vol. 1 & 2 hardcovers for a decent price? Apparently they're out of print and Amazon is out of stock. I like them the design is really well done and fits with the third volume paper quality is nice and since they aren't thick volumes there is minimal gutter loss.

AntiqueCowboy posted:I got mine from Amazon and it is magnificent. There's a pretty lengthy introduction that talks about Barks' difficult life and story notes in the back. It's going to be total sex with the entire collection on a shelf. My only complaint is that there isn't a volume number on the spine. Could I get a link to this book, or a name?

I just can't not buy it, because the production value on the All Star Superman Absolute is so good that if Batman and Robin's is roughly the same it will be look great. Plus 3 of my favorite artists worked on that series.

wildlele posted:Beats me then, 4 months after the final issue isn't the worst thing in the world. Either bind your own or suck it up. We don't have to "suck up" bad business practice simply because an alternative that most people aren't interested like that exists. Look I get that you just fell in love with binding and that you're all about that but quit preaching it down people's throats. That being said 4 months really isn't that bad at all. It's not a whole drat year that's for sure.

The Missing Link posted:You see, now I'm excited for this and I can't tell if you're joking or not. Amazon just pushed it's release date back, makes me a bit optimistic. Don't really want Tony Daniel absolute pages, or omnibus. Although i'd deal with it seeing as how i'd get Kubert and Williams in the same absolute. I do not see an omnibus happening though. They went with absolute for the batman and robin stuff after all.

Are the new DC hardcovers going to have the new logo? Is this the reason they are pushing some popular books back a little? Flex Mentallo and the Batman Black Glove & Son HC? I'd really hate to have that on my books. I really dig their simple DC they put on the spines.

wildlele posted:Of course they will have the new logo and thats all it is... a logo. I'm sure we all shat over the last logo DC released in 2005 or whenever it came out. The internet rage will subside eventually and we will get down to reading comics again until the next logo change. Did the books the trade editions really have a different logo on the spine prior to 2005, yes it's a logo but it's not just a logo. It represents the company, it's one of the first perceptions people get of them. It's the reason good logos are important. I'm not even judging the logo I just wanted all my Grant Morrison Batman Hardcovers to have the same logo on the spine. You constantly come in this thread as some sort of sage of reason, and wisdom that nobody else sees. Yet you usually miss the point completely.

wildlele posted:Maybe you are the one missing the point and getting too worked up over a logo? I'm not getting worked up at all. I made a question in a thread with people who know about trade editions. I'd be bummed but it's not like I wouldn't buy it. It's not even about a logo it's about uniformity in the editions i've bought in a series with the final volumes of the series. I like design.

I just told you I would still buy it even with the logo I just wanted to ask, seriously don't need your solutions. I asked whether it would be on the new books not this is seriously hurting me DC is a bunch of morons how do I fix this?. I even said in my post that i'd still buy the book, you just don't get it. Good job editing your post after the fact as well. I'm good now though I asked a question and bairfanx answered it. I suspect the new logo probably won't be on the spine of the new books but it will be in the interior publishing page. The contents of the book are still going to be rad.

The first Chew Omnivore edition had this really great sewn binding and opened flat, just bought the second vol and they changed the binding to the regular glue kind. It's not necessarily bad there's not a lot of gutter loss, but drat compared to the first volume it's pretty bad. Just thought i'd share that with you guys if any of you were thinking about buying it.

I'm a guy who really likes seeing pictures of books before I buy them, especially expensive ones. A friend asked me to snap some pictures of Bone 20th anniversary hardcover before he bought it. I figure I might as well share them with you guys. In case any of you are unsure.
