Scalped deluxe volume 2
Dmz deluxe volume 2
Y the last man deluxe volume 1
and the thing I'm most excited for
Absolute Preacher volume 1
I've never read any of preacher or y the last man so that'll be great and obviously continuing scalped and dmz is great too!

Y the last man is one of the greatest comics i have ever read... so awesome. I just read Preacher vol 1 and it was pretty good too. :)

Nice. :) Still haven't tried Six Gun out yet. Not much new today. I have heard good things about the Omega Men trade from DC.

I too thought Alias was pretty well done. When I rank Bendis work it's probably third best for me (behind Daredevil and New Avengers). I have not read his ultimate Spider-Man.
I was excited about his new run on Iron Man when I heard Maleev is joining him again but not sure what to think with the news about Tony being replaced with a 15 yr old girl.
I liked the Wolverine book. Some good funny moments where a tough rough character tries to be the gentle mentor some circumstances call for.

Curious, do your fantastic shelves include evidence of Easton Press or Folio Society addiction? :)

That would be up to Rel. Were you thinking just a thread where people list what they want to sell or buy then the two parties make the deal "offline"?

Exactly.

I don't mind people posting in an active thread if they have something they having something for sale or trade. But we do only have a couple dozen active members and with some of us being international I'm not sure we would drum up a lot of action here.

Nice! That is a massive book. :)

I went out of town this weekend and stopped into a couple stores. One had what I was looking for: a brand new, sealed copy of Incognito for cover price! Excitedly I grabbed it and headed to the cashier but on the way I noticed a huge gash/notch in the back cover, enough to sour the taste and keep me from buying it. I mentioned it to the cashier but he didn't offer up any type of discount. Still not sure if I made the right decision. :(

Hmmm, I think the book is selling for around $70 on Ebay. That defect probably lowers the value somewhat but cover price was probably not unreasonable. The only one on Ebay now is $100 from England.
OT, I bought a statue, the SDC only Koto Bruce Wayne in a tux. I think they are 1/10 scale but I like the statue and it wasn't terribly expensive. :)

That's about what I would have expected and probably would have expected. The next day they were having a "Customer Appreciation Day" and I had some thought of getting back there and trying again but I never made it.

Is that the one that goes with the Alfred holding the serving tray? I didn't realize they had done a Bruce Wayne. I'll check it out...

It is, sadly the Alfred one seems to be pretty expensive now as I think they would look great next to each other. I'll have to keep my eye open for a good deal on the Alfred one.

Ordered Scalped Deluxe V5 (finally!) and Mind Mgmt V2-6. Buying the remainder of MM pretty much assures that there will be a single oversized collection coming out soon.


200 pounds, I think it is solid price for that :D


Didn't know that even existed! Get's good reviews. It says it was published last month but there are no available copies.

Nice. I want it too but not sure to pay that much for one book...one really tick book at that :D but still i haven't decided yet...
I couldn't find Rachel Rising Omnibus anywhere too... :/

First, welcome to the group.
Now, as you have heard and Alistair explained historically DC omnibuses are notoriously bad in production value. But the trend is changing bit by bit. Sure Gotham Central is not the best binding example out there, but it is not going to fall out during your reading session. To me, the bigger culprit is the thin-ish paper, It feels a little bit cheap. Do not expect Dark Horse library edition quality, and you will be fine. You probably need to take a bit more care, that is all. But, the story sure as hell worth it. I am enjoying it so much.
