Both by Stan Lee.

The New Frontier DLX has some great content. I really do like Cooke's art. Probably my favorite thing by Cooke. I also really liked Parker but that is much darker.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I was recently debating to buy the new frontier absolute and missed a good deal on eBay.

[XenofoneX]

I guess the second Parker Martini Edition will probably be out soon, now that there's no more Parker Adaptations forthcoming. And perhaps an Omnibus.

Cooke's interpretation of Parker was perfect. I don't think there's any ONE artist I'd like to see take over; but I'd still like to see IDW continue what Darwyn started. Choosing artists with similar styles to Cooke would be awful; but letting artists well-established in comics noir each adapt a novel (or 4 novels per artist, continuing Darwyn's legacy) might be very cool. Eduardo Risso, Paul Pope, Sean Phillips, Jordi Bernet, Lee Bermejo, David Aja...

I'll have to check out the New Frontier soon.

I was thinking the same thing, that a second Martini Edition would be released sooner rather than later.

[Saugata]

I agree with eisnein's points completely.

[Jesse]

Just received Kingdom Come 20th anniversary deluxe. Very pretty.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

The Parker Martini edition contains an interview with Cooke and Brubaker about the content. I think if anyone does continue to adapt Parker stories into comic book format, trying to follow in Cooke's footsteps Brubaker would be the natural selection for it.

I'm torn on what to say about art. We already know there are artists who have worked with Brubaker before that could do a great job (Epting or Butch Gucie both jump to my mind) but a different style of layout and pencils could bring a very different feel to the story even though I suspect Brubaker could maintain the same story telling ambiance in his adaption work as Cooke did.

I would like to see a second Martini Edition. Or, should it have a little different title alluding to a different drink? Manhattan Edition?


The scene in Kingdom Come where the Specter cries "Judgment!" gives me chills.

[Aildiin]

Started to read the Uncanny x-men Omnibus 1.
I remember reading those stories as a french teenager in early 80s ( it was translate late).
Damn those stories have not aged well....

[Jesse]

Today I got Superman Secret Identity Deluxe and Batman Earth one Vol 2.

I'm going to start reading that soon. I hear that it gets better towards the end.

[The Lion's Share]

I've finished buying my Lone wolf and cub set. Got all 12 omnibuses now.

Still waiting on my GL omnibus.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Does Lone Wolf stop at 12 or is it ongoing?

Stops at 12.

[Saugata]

@Relstuart, The Parker series moving forward with Brubaker at the helm seems like a no brainer. Though I will miss Cooke's tremendously distinct art style :(

100% agree on both counts.

I was away on training last week and ended up getting a little extra money in my paycheck because of it. I'm using a portion to pick up a couple books on my wish-list for a while. The Batman Haunted Knight Absolute will finally be added to the collection. :)

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice! I'm hoping to finally add that this summer to my shelf. I think there is nothing new for me between June and November.

[Donovan]

Jesse wrote: "Today I got Superman Secret Identity Deluxe and Batman Earth one Vol 2."

Nice.

[Donovan]

My wish list is very long and my shelves are very empty of collector's editions. But my wish list keeps growing haha. I'm hoping to get Scott Snyder's Court of Owls Absolute this year. And to add to the high demand, some of Morrison's Batman run. Anyone know if R.I.P. will be reprinted in Deluxe or ever an Absolute? Just wondering.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I believe RIP is already a deluxe. We are still hoping for a Batman and son/black glove/ RIP absolute.

[Donovan]

The RIP deluxe is out of print. There are only new TPBs as far as I've searched. I would definitely buy that.

[Jesse]

That's why God invented EBay.

[Donovan]

True. But especially as a bookseller I can't call that in print. And I'd still like an Absolute. But I'll probably pick up a new deluxe in the meantime...

[Donovan]

If there is a god I don't think he/she/it/the psychic seal is a capitalist ; )

The Absolutes are nice and all but I just find them too unwieldy for my shelves.

[Donovan]

True. I need to invest in some decent bookshelves. Full up at the moment.

[Frank]

The problem is I keep running out of space and moving books around, and boxing many. Now I have too many boxes as well.
I really have too many books, but love it!!

[Donovan]

It's a great problem to have. I was running out of room for graphic novels and my wife said so, too. So I made more space ; )

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Not quite sure if they are both out this week, but I plan on picking up the Squadron Supreme Classic Omnibus and the Shang-Chi Omnibus. Expensive week if they are both out.

[Donovan]

Haha.

[Camilo]

Just bought in a local store:

Captain America White HC
Superman: Secret Identity HC
Batman Death of the Family vol.3 HC
Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine

[Donovan]

That's a good haul. Been meaning to read secret identity for some time now.

Thanks!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

I already have the older Squadron Supreme omnibus. So it's a hard sell on the new one since the main story is already collected in the edition I have.

I am tempted somewhat by the Shang-Chi omnibus. I've never read any of that material though I've seen fans lamenting the fact there are no reprints of the material for years. No sure how much of that is nostalgia for something they read growing up.

I picked up Cable/X-Force Messiah War OHC. It was pricey but I bought it less than the going rate at just over $50. It was priced at $70 but I took advantage of a Memorial Day sale.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I had passed on the original SS because I didn't like the mini that much but with the additional material it makes it worth trying.

I've been waffling on Shang-Chi as well. It is not something I would normally be interested in and I'm concerned that the love of kung fury has long disappeared.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Today it looks like we have the release (on IST) of The Goon Library edition 3, Shang Chi omnibus 1, Squadron Supreme Classic omnibus, and the Star Wars Droids and Ewoks omnibus.

I'll be ordering the Goon vol 3 at least.

[Saugata]

it seems i need to start reading the goons

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I plan to start soon as well.

[Donovan]

The Goon is amazing. Think I'll be picking up the Library Edition Volume 1 next chance I get.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I just checked and IST has restocked all of the Goon Library Editions. V1 was sold out for awhile. If I didn't have such an expensive haul this week I would have picked it up this week.

Just purchased the Squadron Supreme and first Shang-Chi Omnibus.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

I ordered the first Shang-Chi omnibus as well. Did you get the variant? I went ahead and picked it up.

Friday I'll probably do a Goon vol 3 and Last Days of the Marvel Universe OHC buy. Maybe Carbon Grey too.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I got the Starlin version. I'm going back to my original decree of only getting the one with the original art.

[Fluffyroundabout]

I have ultimate spiderman ultimate collection 2, deadpool the complete collection volume 1, batman the cult, (all new all different) doctor strange volume 1 and daredevil by frank Miller volume 1 on the way!

[Blindzider, Moderator]

That's a nice start Fluffy!

At some point I'd like to read that Dr. Strange. I've read most of Aaron's stuff and liked it, but not really a fan of Bachalo's art though.

[Donovan]

Batman The Cult is awesome.

Thanks! Yeah I only really got doctor strange cuz it was €7 but now I'm looking forward...should be unique.

[Donovan]

I have a few Doctor Strange titles on my list but they're not a priority. Look forward to your feedback.

Donovan wrote: "I have a few Doctor Strange titles on my list but they're not a priority. Look forward to your feedback."

Thank you, I look forward to giving it!

[RatATat]

Looks like lots of good orders for everyone this week!

I noticed that IST has the Original Sin main and companion books at 50%, so I snagged those, along with the Shang-Chi Starlin cover. I'd say if you're on the fence about this one, go ahead and pick it up as I think it has a good chance of being a book that goes for a lot once it's OOP, so you'll have no trouble recovering your investment should you decide you no longer want it.
