TheLoser posted:I'm collecting the first wave of oversized hardcovers of the Daredevil series when Kevin Smith relaunched the title and Bendis took over right after. It's taken me some time to find a good copy of the fourth volume and I may have found a good one on Ebay. The guy's only asking for cover price with only a few days left to bid. I need to get rid of my set of the Bendis OSHCs, if you want the whole set let me know. They are in great condition.

Random Stranger posted:Why did no one tell me that a new edition of the Ultimate Metabarons hardcover was coming out in two weeks? The last printing of it was commanding obscene and ridiculous prices when I wanted to pick it up about six months ago. At least I've got a copy ordered now... You know the expensive one, which is still available, is an Absolute style book, while the new edition due in a week is a standard style hardcover, right?

Page 127 where we miss one word 'Tracy' and page 131 where nothing is missing, just one line of one word balloon with a few words cut in half but you can still read it. I am not sure where anyone is making a "mountain" about it. There are words dropped out on at least 4 pages though, 127, 128, 131 and 233. Really sucks for a $50 book to have multiple words missing.

I noticed some of the paperback collections (9 - 1946, 13 - 1947 and 15 - Being Human) are not collected in the hardcovers. Are these just side-stories unrelated to PoF? Are they going to be collected in hardcover, or should I just get the softcover ones? 1946, 1947 and 1948 will be collected into 1 hardcover.

Faustoan Bargain posted:Not sure what the best thread would be, but figure this is the best shot of finding some TPB experts - how good is Image at doing big collections? I'm looking to get into Fatale, but would prefer something with more heft than a five-issue trade. Just have no idea how long I'd be waiting to see something with a few hundred pages or if I should give in and get what's already published. We might be waiting awhile, but I will be very surprised if we don't see an oversized, single volume hardcover after the series wraps up. That's what I'm waiting for.

It bugs the hell out of me when creators complain about this, especially when they almost exclusively write stories that read better in 1 sitting and creator owned books that come out super erratically. The ONLY way to stop people from "waiting for the trade or HC" is to only release stories in single issues and we all know that isn't going to happen. They don't want to leave that money on the table, but they will complain about it.

Padje posted:The Promethea omnibus is listed at Forbidden Planet now. As noted earlier it's horizontally formatted. What are the dimensions likely to be? If it's the same size as the Marvel omnibuses, or even smaller, surely the art, while admittedly not disappearing down the middle crease, would be smaller than that in the original trades? It will be as tall as an Absolute and twice as wide, bound on the short edge.

Any of them except the Mad and Wally Wood books. It will basically be the same size, but sideways, in color, and close to 500 pages. Awesome.

I sometimes worry about how well the really big Omnibi hold up to actual reading vs. just sitting on shelves. It's more than fine. All talk about the glue "falling off" or the pages sagging is pure speculation. If you want it, go buy it now while Marvel is blowing them out and you can get a really good deal.

Shawn posted:Thoughts? It's easy for me as I rarely enjoy anything in monthly form. I might just watch to many TV shows, read too many novel and comics to remember everything going on from month to month. I get much more enjoyment from reading things once they are done or once story arcs is completed than I do reading monthly. I also get much more enjoyment from having a nice library with bookshelves full of great collected editions than I do by having a bunch of bagged and boarded comic books in crappy cardboard boxes in a closet somewhere.
