Someone go buy the New Teen Titans omnibus that came out today and tell me how awesome it is so I can feel bad about buying all these stupid Archive Editions.

Did Image push the King City trade back? I thought it was supposed to come out at the end of the month but Amazon has it coming out in March and if I have to wait another month for this stupid thing I'm going to flip my wig!!

My comic book guy got a few of those and I looked at them (well, looked at the cover I wasn't going to make him take the plastic off) and they are so nice. While they certainly wouldn't be worth 150 dollars to me, personally, I could see them easily being worth that to an artist or collector.

Does anyone have a scoop on any cool non-Marvel or DC trades coming out? I'm looking forward to IDW's Outland collection in April and the Richard Corben Creepy collection Dark Horse is putting out in July.

Cool things I found out today:

There's going to be a collection of the entire run of The Invisibles.

The second Empowered deluxe hardcover comes out in April.

I can't wait to discover that they put some pages in upside down or something and have to pulp the whole batch and delay it again for another six months.

I saw the X-Statix omnibus today at my shop. It's pretty ridiculous.

I guess if you really wanted to read the whole story for whatever reason and had 125 dollars burning a hole in your pocket it would be a good buy.

How could you forget Ultimate Marvel Team Up and Ultimate Adventures???

I guess those are probably paperback only though.

The nice thing about the new Blacksad is that it's the same size as the other hardcover and the spine matches so it looks super nice on the shelf.

You all obviously haven't discovered the best storage medium for comic books: stacks in giant piles all over the place. What is the floor if not a shelf for your whole house?

I always feel like I'm being punished for buying monthly singles.
DC balances that feeling by waiting months and months after an arc is finished to release things or just not putting it out in trade at all!

I forgot that the second Empowered deluxe edition came out today so now I have it. It's just as nice as the first one is and volumes 4, 5, and 6 are probably the best three in the series so far so having them all in one spot is nice.

I thought there would be more extra stuff, sketches or whatever, but there's not really. It's mostly old promo stuff he did for the Dark Horse website. There's some annotations in the back which is fun but I was hoping for more.

What's the paper like in those? I was a little shocked when volume seven went glossy, though it really makes the blacks pop.
Both volumes use a nice high quality glossy paper.

Every time I read my plastic man trades I ask myself what the hell happened to Kyle Baker. It's tragic.

And speaking of which: the first plastic man trade is without a doubt the smelliest book I've ever owned. It's like a chemical fire on your bookshelf.

Evil Dead "Book of the Dead" DVD smelly?
Exactly. I opened mine in the car ride home after a con and we had to have all the windows down all the way home because the smell was making people nauseous.

It fades with time but when you took the shrink wrap off my god it's a powerful stink.

I'm pretty sure the worst thing on earth is when you reorganize your trades and discover you're missing a middle volume of something. Or in my case missing five volumes.

I wonder where my Ex Machina trades have all gone. :sigh:

Is the I Kill Giants hardcover edition worth the extra money? Is it oversized or is it just extra stuff in the back? I've been meaning to pick it up and amazon has both but I'm not sure if I want to drop the extra 20 bucks.

What was the final verdict on the Invisibles omni? Is it sturdy and readable or does all the art get lost in the gutters and it feels like all the pages are going to fall out?

It was nice of DC to put the two Before Watchmen stories I actually want (Minutemen and Silk Specter) in one big trade. It's also nice of them to finally release the second volume of Harley Quinn after a...two year break? Maybe more?

Have they condensed the No Man's Land stuff down into fewer trades? Or is it the same number of books with a different spine?

I got the X-Statix omnibus today because I'm kind of a dummy and my comic guy gave me a pretty good deal. It's pretty nice I suppose but it already feels kinda shaky when I open it up to the middle.

But why do the Dead Girl issues in the back look so loving bad? I could scan my copies with my scanner/printer I got at walmart and they wouldn't be so blurry and gross. It looks like they just blew up tiny jpgs of the pages to get them to omnibus size.

Just speaking for myself, I don't want more stupid garbage to put on a shelf and dust. I want more comics, in better quality trades, faster.

I actually just saved like 50 bucks getting the Rucka Wonder Woman trades from IST instead of random sellers on amazon.

They didn't have one of them though so I have to eat the amazon cost on that one. Sucks.

And they didn't have any of the Joe Kelly Supergirl trades. And amazon doesn't either. :(

No no he took over at the very end of the Kandor arc and then wrote from #7-#18. It's an underrated run even though it's got just dreadful Ian Churchill art.



I guess they're all on Comixology so if I really want to read them I can do it that way.

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.
