I really liked Incognito. I think I would enjoy seeing Brubaker go back to that world with more story.
Recent read I enjoyed was Vanish by Donny Cates from Image Comics. I picked up the first TPB. It's dark and violent. The story picks up kind of like we're years after a Harry Potter type character faces off against a Voldemort character but our main character decides to cheat in the final confrontation by using forbidden weapons and just goes in and kills the main bad guy to try to get the future he wants. Now it's years later and he's struggling with a boring muggle life but things began to get complicated... I'm keen to read more to see where the story goes. =)

New books are live on DCBS orders.
Ordering the final Blade of the Immortal DLX. There are a fair number of Marvel Omnibus volumes. I'm going to check out The Last Barbarians first TPB to see what that series is like.
Anyone picking up anything you are excited about?

Large order for me this month:Wonder Woman Silver Age Omnibus vol 2
Batman Eternal Omnibus
New Mutants Omnibus vol 3
Dead Boy Detectives Omnibus
I also grabbed a couple of PS Artbooks Softees, Blackhawk vol 6 and Bulletman Vol 1, all Golden Age stuff I like. Handful of regular TPBs.
Also ordered three Fantagraphics graphic novels by Paco Roca.
I'm really torn about the Devil's Reign omni. I want the main story but don't really need all of the tie-ins. I was hoping for just a basic HC to go with the rest of the OHCs but I fired there aren't enough pages to fill it.

Just saw the news that John Romita Sr. passed on Monday. Rest in peace to such a great and influential artist!

Another one of the legends passed on. It's sad to see them go.

Just picked up my copy of Superior Spider-Man omni, such a great story.Ordered Spider-Man Brand New Day omni vol 1 as well.
Hopefully this means they will do the whole Slott run in omni form...
Blindzider wrote: "I just realized that somehow my copy of Brand New Day was canceled."Yes, it happened to a lot of people because it was delayed until the middle of 2024.
Brand New Day... That was where i left Spider-Man. I read the entire JMS Run and One More Day as floppies back in the day and then i just quit Amazing Spider-Man book because Ultimate Spider-Man was giving me all the kid Spider-Man, i need. I didn't want another kid Spider-Man book in my hands. I wasn't one of those OH NO !!!! Don't take away their marriage kind of guys. I didn't give a crap about Mary Jane & Peter marriage, but i also enjoyed that Peter was an adult who thought on the same highschool, he greaduated, as a teacher and all. I didn't want another teenager Spider-Man book, it was so unnececary when you had Ultimate Spider-Man.Well... It has been ages since i read Spider-Man last time. May be it is a good opportunity to start where i left off with the Brand New Day Spider Omnibus. I think i will get it.
One More Day was terrible but Brand New Day is genuinely good. Shame they got there in the clumsiest way.
Got my preorders in with DCBS. Ordered:
Adventures into Terror HC: This is a Fantagraphics line reprinting early Marvel/Atlas pre-code genre comics.
Aquaman Andromeda HC: Hope this finally gets printed.
Iron Fist Danny Rand the Early Years Omni
Riddler Year One HC
ROM Original Marvel Years Omni: SOOO excited to see this and can't wait to preorder the Micronauts omni
Also getting some HCs of regular DC titles (Adventures of Superman Jon Kent/Static Season Two (?)), several TPBs of regular series, and the PS Artbooks Softees reprinting Golden Age Plastic Man and Military Comics.
Are Aquaman Andromeda and Riddler Year One Deluxe Editions ? Because i usually pass on regular HCs and wait for Deluxe Editions.
Ozan wrote: "Are Aquaman Andromeda and Riddler Year One Deluxe Editions ? Because i usually pass on regular HCs and wait for Deluxe Editions."Neither of them is listed as Deluxe.
According to the solicits, A:A is 8 1/2" x 10 7/8", and the Riddler book is 6 5/8" x 10 3/16".
Both are Black Label editions so the sizes are a bit weird. Andromeda is a bit bigger than regular sized HCs but the Riddler book is about the same as a regular HC book.
Is the order day/time for IST still on Tuesday? 3PM EST?
Is Spider-Man BND still expected to release next week?
It's been so long since I've purchased anything new without preordering I don't know how this works anymore.

Blindzider wrote: "Is Spider-Man BND still expected to release next week?"Spider-Man: Brand New Day Omnibus vol 1 is currently set for release on December 19th 2023. It has jumped around a bit on the schedule so it might change again.
DCBS does have their new books up.
I preordered the next Savage Sword of Conan (volume 9), Vanish TPB vol 2 (Image), and Berserk DLX vol 14.
I am getting ready to move next month and many of my books will be stored for awhile. I was planning on being really light ordering anything new but want to continue the series I am into.

Just ordered Nice House on the Lake Deluxe HC...heard nothing but great things about the story, plus Tynion writes some good stuff.
Glad you mentioned the Conan book, Rel. I thought I checked through Titan's listing but must have missed it. Got it added.
Ordered The Ultimates omnibus by Mark Millar and picked up my copy of Batman The Knight hardcover by Chip Zdarsky.

Picked up my copy of The Immortal Hulk omni & The Ultimates omni.Ordered Berserk Deluxe Edition vol 14 & Astro City The Opus Edition vol 1.
Ordered Immortal Hulk Omnibus, Swamp Thing: Green Hell OHC, Aquaman the Atlantis Chronicles Deluxe Edition.
I received my copy of the Immortal Hulk Omnibus in the mail yesterday. It looks awesome! I'm not sure if the single issues or OHCs had the same presentation (black paper, reprinted panels from the Silver Age, etc.), but it's a beautiful book. Definitely one of the thickest I own as well.
Nice!
Just out of curiosity, does the Immortal Hulk Omnibus have the contents of the Apocrypha tpb?

Yes, as per the Omnibus mapping information, all the Apocrypha stories are included in the omnibus as well.
Ordered Klaus by Morrison deluxe hardcover edition & Righteous Thirst For Vengeance by Remender deluxe hardcover
DCBS has their new month’s worth of books up for preorder.
I ordered the newest Prince Valiant boxed set (filed in the Other section).
After over a decade wait between Wolverine volume 1 and 2 omninbus. Too long but now we’re already to volume 5 up for preorder ($81!). It’s actually a bit too fast for me.
In other news, Marvel is bringing out volume 1 of Gruenwald’s Captain America next year!
CAPTAIN AMERICA BY MARK GRUENWALD OMNIBUS VOL. 1 https://a.co/d/5Dy8SKA

Marvel has Captain America Omnibus vol 4 solicited but FYI it's the same contents as the Captain America by Jack Kirby omni that came out couple years ago or whenever (not the Golden Age volume). Feel free to double check me. I almost got the Vol 4 and glad I checked so I didn't double dip.I ordered the Daredevil vol 3 omni and was amazed DCBS was asking $80 for it. That's just 36% discount and makes me want to wait until it comes out and at least get IST's 38% discount.
Ozan, that Phantom Stranger omni was solicited and canceled 2 or 3 times so I was glad to finally get it in my hands! One of my favorite DC characters.
Joseph wrote: "Ozan, that Phantom Stranger omni was solicited and canceled 2 or 3 times so I was glad to finally get it in my hands!

Especially as a Sandman guy since Neil Gaiman said Sandman (Morbeus) and Phantom Stranger were the same person as personalty. Gaiman actually wanted to write Phantom Stranger but DC gave him Sandman so Neil Gaiman used all of his Phantom Stranger ideas on the Sandman book.
Ozan, that's going to be a huge order! What do you think you will read first? I really enjoyed Lazarus and I bet the Green Lantern Corps is good. =)
Great Info Joseph! I was going to check to see if this was the case. I need to look and see if there is enough content between Captain America volume 4 and Grunewal'd run starting to see if it's likely they will do a volume 5. I have all the Masterworks so not sure it's worthwhile to keep double dipping.

It's got some excellent highs, but also some low points. =)
Vismund, I liked Black Science. Sadly, I haven't been excited about much of Remender's most recent books. But with the ending of Low, Black Science, Deadly Class, and Seven to Eternity he has time to come up with more new thing. I suspect he'll come out with something that catches my fancy again eventually.
Read the new DC Wildcats HC that came out a couple weeks ago, Better Living Through Violence. Thought it was fun but nothing top tier.
