Just a heads up, Top Shelf is doing one of its $3 sales for the next few weeks. Even if there's nothing you really want, for $3 you could just pick stuff at random and probably get your money's worth.

God dammit. Speaking of forgotten orders, why did I forget that I pre-ordered "Holy Terror" in a fit of madness?

Shameless posted:It was solicited the other day. It's one of those smaller-sized Dark Horse paperback Omnibuses, not an HC. drat. I assume this means I'll never get HC versions of "God and the Devil" or "Devil's Reign" to finish out my collection. I've got HC versions of nearly everything in the Omnibus, but I'll probably buy it anyway, just to have a convenient single-volume "reading copy".

Happy Hippo posted:Deathblow #1-3 (Is this that Jim Lee 90s book?) It's almost certainly the Deathblow: Byblows mini-series, which is based on the same character, but is actually a crazy post-apocalyptic story where a female clone of the original character is running around in animal hides fighting robots. Beyond that, it looks like this is mostly his Wildstorm stuff (previously collected in the Wild Worlds TPB) combined with the traditional "stuff Alan Moore wrote before Watchmen" content (previously collected numerous times, including the DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore TPB). It varies from passable to pretty awesome. The Wildstorm stuff always seemed weaker to me because I had very little idea what the hell went on in the books before Moore got his hands on them. I could tell he was doing "Weird Alan Moore Things" to them, but was never sure exactly what he was subverting/improving in the process versus random stuff he was just creating new.

If memory serves, that specific volume had a very small run for some reason. It's been ridiculously expensive for a long time now.

Pricey, but tempting: $810 for six hardcover volumes of R. Crumb sketchbooks. quote:In the last 20 years Crumb's artistic output has slowed considerably, making new works more rare and highly prized. This collection of over 600 unseen drawings created between 1996 and 2012 makes this a must-have collectible for every Crumb fan.

FYI, Top Shelf is doing another $3 TPB sale (also featuring some things that cost less than $3 and some things that cost more). Transformers fans are encouraged to check out Incredible Change-Bots.

Dear lord. I actually think I have two copies of Seasons for some reason. That's some utterly baffling mark-up nonsense. [edit] It actually looks like it sells for $20-30 on eBay with some regularity.

If you search for completed auctions, ebay.co.uk shows Volume 11 selling recently for around £20 (including shipping) and 12 for around £15 (shipped). The Crazy Prices are just what wingnut scalpers are asking, not what anyone is actually paying.

It's not REALLY about "normal people" for very long. The relationship stuff is there in significant quantities, but it's basically a straight-up thriller.

Has anything weird happened to the dust jackets of your copy of SiP? The glossy bits of mine managed to get stuck together and peeled off when I went to reread them a while back.

They're pretty decent. Definitely a huge step up in quality from the Essentials, though usually featuring fewer issues per volume. I actually prefer the lower page count, since the binding is just glued and I don't like bending glued TPBs too much to keep the art from getting cut off in the middle. The coloring on the couple of volumes I have is very nice, though clearly restored to some degree. For something like Moon Knight which, to my knowledge, doesn't have a proper hardcover collection available, it's a solid deal.

I'd say go with the Absolute, simply because the art looks amazing at that scale (and it's still relatively cheap).

Teenage Fansub posted:I wonder what they're doing for the art. If it's just great big pages of digital flat colouring on crisp white paper, that'd be a shame, but I guess it's not really some archival edition either. It is, sadly, the former. I guess you can have 2/3 of "huge", "cheap", and "fancy".
