Not sure if they are going to be collected, but the 194X stories are basically Professor Bruttenholm running around Europe before finding Hellboy and starting the BPRD. Being Human is a collection of one shots giving history to the BPRD members. All three are expansions to the characters, but not really relevant to the main storyline.

Bag of Sun Chips posted:InStockTrades is awesome, they easily beat Amazon prices when it comes to high prices Absolute and Omnibus books. I haven't shopped there in years when their prices were more in line with Amazon's. I checked there recently and saw a lot of stuff for 40%+ off, so I'll have to keep them in mind next time I place a big order. There is one thing that bothers me with them, and I've run into this twice: if you order something that turns out to by out of stock (irony!), they will ship you the rest of the order and charge you for the full order. You'll get a note saying the item was out of stock and will be shipped when it shows up. You have to contact them directly to get that money refunded, which I usually do because it's always a rare item that is out of print. So, just be aware.

If you're looking for Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four, ASM, or Miller's Daredevil omnibi, looks like they're going back in print.quote:For now we're going with: Uncanny 1 FF 1 ASM 1 DD. Miller 1 These will start to appear in theJune previews. Those omnis of our fringe characters and events won't yet be going back to press as in many if not most cases these were hard sells to.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:God drat does DC suck, and I say this as someone who bound all the Starman singles into four custom hardcovers. Hey, they put out paperbacks, a box set, Absolutes, an Annotated version, and now two HC omnibus sets of Sandman. Logical!

Premier are basically HC versions of trade paperbacks. Masterworks are kinda like DC's omnibus, hardcover but not oversized, containing more than the standard six issues of a regular tpb.

Either the Absolutes or the new printings of the tpbs (if you want the newest coloring but without paying $300+). FYI, the main series is collected in the first four Absolutes. The fifth is additional material and the Death Absolute contains the two Death series that Gaiman wrote.

sporklift posted:I loved the book as a youngster but never intended to read the adaptation. Worth checking out or should I just flip it? I haven't read The Stand in 15 years since middle school, but that adaptation felt pretty faithful. It didn't really add anything to the story or the experience, but it's far from unreadable.

It's DC: they'll decide based on the sales. There's a chance they'll do what they did with JLI (four volumes as HCs and TPBs, two volumes as only TPBs, and then stopping before they finish). Yes, I'm still bitter.

Make sure you keep up with your order. If something is out, they will hold it for a long time hoping it will come in before shipping. Call the hotel and see if they'll mind holding the package? I hear people ship mech to their hotels when going to cons and it's waiting for them when they show up. Maybe they'll hold your package for you for a few days.

A longbox full of trades weighs as much as a longbox full of floppies, but, yeah, not fun to carry around if you have more than a few. Personally, I like to pack Absolutes in file boxes (strong, cheap, have handles) along with DVDs and CDs or towels. Instead of one heavy box and one light one, I get two moderate weight boxes, which makes life way more pleasant.

Metal Loaf posted:Speaking of Sandman, I've been looking at this collection. I've never read the series, but that's the complete set, right? How does the price compare to other collections? It's the complete main Sandman series that's collected in the first four Absolutes. There are a few things not collected there that you absolutely do not need to read, but may be enjoyable if you end up liking the series. It is missing: The two Death miniseries The illustrated prose story story Dream Hunters (which was turned into a comic by P. Craig Russell) The OGN Sandman: Endless Nights

For Absolutes? Expedit. Billy's are okay if you don't overload them or if you reinforce them. Or keep the Absolutes on the very bottom.

Billy's would be great for novels and small format comics. Still need to figure out how I'm going to lay out my room. Moving is sometimes fun! (when I'm not spending money on non comic things. :'( )

I haven't had issues with anything that doesn't have moving parts. Well, my Billy case fell apart after bowing from storing Absolutes on top. Ever dresser I or someone in my family has bought from there has had its lovely plastic tracks disintegrate, so I avoid Ikea furniture that moves in any way. Edit: Speaking of Suzy Homemaker poo poo, I'm thinking about getting half way decent magazine holders to display some floppies on my shelves. Seems like they come in cheap cardboard or expensive acrylic, though. Going to look for something decent looking and durable that won't break the bank.

Looks like the ones I just grabbed from Ikea. 2 for $4. Seem fairly sturdy, but I don't like that the label/handle are on the tall side and not the short side. I'm probably going to put them on my shelves the other way. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90214426/ I grabbed a 2x2 Expedit for my turntable and will probably grab a 2x4 one for my office next time I'm in town. Been spending a lot lately, so I'll put off buying more furniture for a bit and until I figure out how I want to set up the office/comicbook room.

Self porn! I accidentally turned my computer room into a nerd room. I still need to hang some artwork, but I finally got all my books into the house and set up on shelves. This is the first time in like 5 years all my books have been in one place. Now, what to read?     Sorry for the crappy photos. I only have my cell phone camera and it's not a good one.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Nice photos, and nice Classics Optimus Prime! Would you sell or trade it for anything? Oh, I doubt it's worth anything. I picked it up at Target or Walmart or something in 2006/2007 (it say's 2006 on the leg) when people were still excited for the movie. Probably paid like $15 for it. I only got it cause I never had one as a kid. Same reason I own that Donatello toy and probably 20% of my comics.

Just Offscreen posted:Very nice! I see you favored the color volumes of bone. Those volumes of Bone are B&W. I got the colored ones for my cousins and they're nice, but Bone is always B&W in my mind. Plus, they are regular comic sized, not the smaller Scholastic format. No surprises in Oglaf. There's like four bonus pages in the back of random drawings. One big issue I have is the alt text is written in medium gray on a dark gray background. It's very difficult to read. I think I went a few pages before realizing it was even there.

Instead, I don't remember all the details, but Reed helps them build a new Earth (Nu-World) in an alternate dimension. They somehow have captured Galactus and used him as a power source to run the time traveling machine. The dead future Galactus is left in the present day at the end of the story.

Hakkesshu posted:Nope! BotA was whatever, but the AvX issues were totally fine and focused on the characters more than the event. They're some of the best tie-in issues of any event in recent history as far as I'm concerned. They didn't make much sense for someone that wasn't reading AvX... Lots of stuff happened off page and every issues was "oh, this is happening now". But, that's the complaint of all event tie in books and it ruins titles for me (DnA's Guardians of the Galaxy had that problem going off track for six months during crossovers).

Rhyno posted:Cable box and BR no, Game consoles fit. There's a corresponding line of tv stands that match the Expedits but they have also been discontinued. That tv was an Amazon deal and I needed something to extend my desktop onto without dropping cash on a monitor but I have seen people use a 1x5 Expedit as a tv stand, you just have to get creative about where you put your receiver and such. I used to have an entertainment center based on the Billy design. Short and stout with an offset center divider so the left side was wider to fit big components. And the center divider didn't extend all the way to the back, so passing cables between the two sides was a breeze. Used it in college for a few years as a book case/stereo stand, then it held my 100+ pound CRT TV for six or seven years after. It's now still going strong at my aunt's house with their TV. That would look good flanked by some Expedits, but they no longer sell it. The "nicer" TV stand I got from Target had a pronounced bow in the middle after holding up my ~35 pound LCD TV, receiver, and Xbox for a few months and definitely cost more than anything from Ikea.
