Isn't that the name of the first Garth Ennis Punisher run? :)

Frank | 170 comments Thanks guys,
Been lurking around, just in the background.

@Alistair, tried to shoot some of the books, but photo kept turning sideways, put two shots on the photo section here, ran out of room again. Have another full bookcase on the floor, LOL.
Will try again.

i use this site for quick uploads and copy paste the link into GR

Thanks Rel :D

I have no room for another shelf though :( I'm just going to sell the ones i don't think deserve to be there anymore or ones i won't rad again.

I'm gonna sell my invincible collection, that takes up loads of room. Fear Agent, New Avengers, Sandman and Chew.

I got a package I wasn't able to pick up from the apartment office until this morning. The Image HC of Lemire's Plutona is standard size (HC version of the TPB) and very austere in style with just a black cover with the company and title on the spine and a one white symbol on the front cover.

The only thing I know of that comes out today I am interesting in in Lemire's Underwater Welder HC. Plutona has some positive and some negative reviews but Underwater Welder sounds like it has better press.

The Spider-Man by Todd McFarlane omnibus is being released today on IST/comic Book Stores. Just under 500 pages for under $40. Not a bad price really.

That really isn't a bad price. I'd only want it to flip through and look at the art every once in awhile, but I still have the singles too...


message 1310: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Is that Spider Man series any good? I was reading reviews that it's darker in nature, which appeals to me. And that's a good price.


message 1311: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I need some Spiderman recommendations.

I've only read spiderman Blue and really enjoyed it.

I hated Ultimate Spiderman, what a pile of shit.

I've got the STan lee volume 1 but haven't read it yet.


message 1312: by Jesse (new)

Jesse A (jaathey) | 332 comments Superior Spiderman was decent. Started great, ended a bit soft but all in all not bad.

The McFarlane Spider-Man series is a little darker, at least initially. However, McFarlane is not a very good writer. His Spider-Man is fantastic though. I seem to recall him only writing 20ish issues then some other people came on. It's been awhile but I don't recall anything really noteworthy.

I personally like Lee's Amazing Spider-Man V2 Omnibus.

I would also recommend J.M.S on Amazing Spider-Man. Toward the end he did some really controversial stuff I didn't care for, but those early volume were outstanding. He doesn't have an Omnibus but there are 5 "Best of Spider-Man" OHCs then a couple more like "Back in Black" and "The Other". There's a Spider-Man thread list here that might have a few more.

Along with Superior Spider-Man the Spider-Verse event was pretty good and definitely "darker". Kraven's Last Hunt also falls into that category.

Thanks Al, I will try it when I get a chance. I will try to shoot them again, as well.

Reece (mrrallentando) | 309 comments Hey guys, I've been checking the message boards for a long time to keep up on release dates, but haven't jumped into discussions until now. Thanks for making it easy to find info on upcoming releases.

Anyway, I just ordered the following:
Spider-Man Omnibus by Todd Mcfarlane
Preacher HC Book 6

I'm excited to finally get around to finishing the Preacher series.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus v2
Secret Warriors Omnibus
Wonder Woman by Perez Omnibus
Jack kirby: The Losers HC

Finally I have all the three Uncanny X-men Omnis :)


message 1320: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Ooooh secret warriors! Love that.

That must have been difficult to get?

Yeah, I found it used on Amazon...it was a little pricey but the book is actually in good condition. I'm very happy with it because as I say some time ago I really want to complete all Hickman stuff in Marvel.


message 1322: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Yeah I got a good deal on eBay for mine in new condition. I really enjoyed it. I'll read it again one day.

guanaeps (saethron) | 88 comments A local entertainment store chain is closing, so they've been having ridiculous sales on comics (40% off everything), so I managed to find some very cheap HC's which were:

Civil War HC
Crisis on Infinite Earths HC
Inhumans HC - Jenkins/Lee run


message 1324: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Nice. I love my Deluxe HC of Crisis.


message 1325: by Reece (new)

Reece (mrrallentando) | 309 comments Over the weekend I found a HC copy of Blankets at a used book store for half price. I'd heard good things about it and I was not disappointed. I would highly recommend it if you haven't read it, although if you're a Christian it may push some buttons for you.

Sounds like a good find. I too have heard good things but have yet to read that one.

I think once I finish Scalped at the end of this month I'll buy SB.


message 1333: by Jesse (new)

Jesse A (jaathey) | 332 comments I've got Volume 3 coming from the library but I'll wait for 2nd deluxe to buy SB.


message 1334: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Yeah I couldn't wait. I have all the TPBs but I'll replace them with the HCs eventually. Brilliant run so far.

Ozan  (dotanuki) | 222 comments I heard people even say ''SB's the best book at image right now'' so i grabed the HC... i wish it was deluxe HC though like the rest of Image HCs.

Oh, so SB is the same size as the Scalped HCs but not oversized like Sixth Gun, Deadly Class?

It's a regular HC, that's at the same size with single issues.


message 1338: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Ah man. It's only 10" tall. Hmm... Thanks for the info.

We'll crap. Guess I'm going to hold off. Thanks for the pic.


message 1342: by Saugata (new)

Saugata Mukherjee | 180 comments Thanks a lot @Ozan and @Jesse. I was just about to buy Southern Bastards today without realizing that it is not deluxe. Now, I will probably hold off. This group rocks.


message 1343: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Yeah i've got it too, it's surprisingly small. Weird. I wasn't a fan of the story either.


message 1344: by boymeetscomics (new)

boymeetscomics | 79 comments I just placed my order for Superior Spider-Man OHC vol 1, 2 & 3. Can't wait to catch up on my spidey stories. I also have Avengers by Busiek and Perez Omnibus vol 1 & 2 being delivered. It'll be a fun few weeks of reading for me.

I may have to get a PO box to hide all these deliveries from my wife :)

Me - "Did my package come today?"
Wife - "Yes, there's a box for you"
Me - "AWESOME"
Wife - "More cartoon books?"

Agreed. Just as I will never understand the obsession with shoes.

Fluffyroundabout | 202 comments Yeah but comics tell great stories with great characters and art! What the hell do shoes do?


message 1349: by Donovan (new)

Donovan | 1154 comments Look pretty and make you feel good. Pretty much what comics do ; )


message 1350: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I've got it but I haven't opened it yet. I can tell though that the bind is flat like all DC omnibuses so it will no doubt be a bit stiff.
