Agreed. Much like Brubaker leaving Cap, it's tough to fill the shows of a really good writer leaving a character after that writer has accomplished a high level of work. I've read Johns Flash and Hawkman and neither IMHO are as good as his run on Flash. I have yet to read his JLA run.

I am waiting, I don't think they will be available this week.

@relstuart

I dont own the omni's but have the hole thing in trades, i just finishen the war of the green lantern story and everything has just been amazing.. very grand scale epic storytelling!

Going to read the new 52 stuff next couple of days. I just hope it is just as good as the rest of the GL run.

[Reece]

I've never been a big fan of GL, but you guys may have convinced me to give it a try. Been hesitant to drop almost $70 on a character that I'm not thrilled about but it sounds like the John's run could make me a convert.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

I have almost no other experience reading Green Lantern. Now I kind of want to read Johns current/recently ended Justice League run but that would require me to pick up the standard size HCs. I feel like eventually we should see an omnibus run capturing his run since we've seen so much of his other work get the omnibus treatment. There are a couple large crossover type events, Forever Evil and Darkseid War. In the Green Lantern run we saw those get Absolute volumes. Nothing solicited yet though. If we see a Johns Justice League omnibus I'm guessing next year would be the earliest we might see it.

[Ronny]

Johns justice league is pretty good as well.. especially the trinity war/forever evil part of it.. the throne of Atlantis story arc is not bad either.. I would definitely be in for larger collections of his justice league run.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I was always a fan of the concept of GL but never found any of the stories to be worthwhile until Johns' run. From someone who was not a big fan or had a lot of history with the character, I highly recommend the run.

Haha my brother got me the saga book one hardcover! He knows me well

Nice. :) Sounds like a good brother.

[XenofoneX]

Hi all, it's been awhile :) . I've had a busy time of late, but still managed to feed my OHC addiction.

I've picked up a ton of comic and art-related HC's in the past 2 or 3 months, and the biggest comic purchases have been original art facsimiles; Artist's Editions from IDW, Gallery Editions from Graphitti Designs, and Dark Horse Curator's Collection with Kitchen Sink and their own Gallery Edition line.

And I finally upgraded from TPB's to deluxe editions on some of my favorites:

-Absolute Watchmen
-Absolute V for Vendetta
-Hellboy: Library Edition - Vol. 1-6
-The Art of Hellboy - Signed OOP HC

I also found a copy of the Limited Edition 'Humbug' 2-Volume HC slipcase set from IST, signed by Jack Davis, Al Jaffee and Arnold Roth; sometimes they leave books up that are sold out -- like with the Top Ten Absolute -- so I was happy it showed up.

P.S.: I know my LCS in Toronto has a couple brand-new, still-sealed copies of Absolute Top 10 (& 1st/2nd prntg Parker: Martini Ed.); the price is a bit high, but it's better than anything I found online. He'll be heading to the US to mail off his American customer orders at the end of the month, and the price is $150.00, US shipping included. It probably won't be getting any cheaper, and it's one of the top 3 Absolute editions, IMO.

The Beguiling is one of the best comic shops on the planet -- it won the first Eisner Award for Retail Excellence -- but they don't have an online store, using order-by-email instead. If the price doesn't scare you off, contact Peter Birkemoe (interesting side-note: he and the store itself have been recurring characters in the comic memoirs of Chester Brown, Seth, Joe Matt, and others): mail@beguiling.ca

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Nice update Eisnein. :) I really like that Steranko art book. All those art books are really impressive (as is the fact you have shelves with room for them). But so far I'm staying away from anything that breaks the $100 for one book price tag.

As far as Wood's work goes, I picked up Cannon when it came out. It's a bit old school on the writing but it's great old school pulp stuff.

[XenofoneX]

Thank you, sir; and a nice score on Cannon. I waited a bit too long, and now that I'm more or less a huge Wally Wood fan, I missed out on both Cannon and the Wally Wood EC Stories AE, both of which are selling for ridiculous sums. Cannon is Wood at his best -- artistically -- spies and murder and tits everywhere. The artwork is 85% of the draw with classic comics for me; some of that classic stuff has aged really well, but I try to judge it from the context of the times that produced it, and the individuals who created it. For pure comic entertainment, there's an overabundance of great NEW comics being made. Too much to keep with the best 1% of it, even, which is a great problem to have as a comic fan.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Agree, we are in a great time of new and old things being printed in nice editions.

Speaking of, as far as books released today we have:

Spider Man Clone Saga omnibus vol 1
Hawkeye OHC 3 (by Lemire)
Uncanny X-Men omnibus vol 2 Reprint
Marvel's Agent Carter Season Two Declassified slipcase
Jack Kirby Kamandi Artist Edition vol 2
Fight Club 2 Library Edition
Rip Kirby HC Vol 9
Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book Complete OGN
Walking Dead HC Vol 13
Wlat Disney's Donald Duck vol 9, Sheriff of Last Gasp


Of possible interest (though not HC):
Batman Elseworlds TP vol 2.
LOW TP 3 by Remender

[The Lion's Share]

I'm not going to make any money if they keep reprinting everything :(

I've just listed infinit gauntlet omnibus, Thor Simonson ombnibus and both Iron Man by Matt Fraction OHC's.

It's like ripping an arm off :(

[Rick]

Just received the Bone one volume full color edition be Jeff Smith and Absolute Watchmen for my birthday. As comics are concerned, it was a glorious day.

Not sure if I should wish you luck in selling those or not. :) I actually just sent the second half of Fraction's Iron Man run in to be custom bound. With as much time as has gone by it certainly appears we won't be getting any more of the run in OHC or omnibus.

Nice!

@ Rel: yeah i know! Re iron man i was really pleased by Bendis' vol 1 of the new iron man, i wasn't blown away by Fraction's. I've seen reviews for vol 2 on the Benids run get really bad reviews.

You left off the book in looking forward to the most: Goon Library 4!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

It looks like Goon Library Edition vol 4 has been bumped a week so we should be seeing it next week.

Cheese, I do want to read what Bendis is doing on one of the Iron Man titles. He is doing two Iron Man titles right now Invincible and International. Bendis has a 15 year old girl that is supposed to be the smartest person in the universe or something in one of them as the new Iron Man with a very different (but interesting character) taking Tony's place in the other one. I'm interested in what is happening in the latter, and I think Maleev is doing the art. They worked together really well on Daredevil.

At this point with so many legacy characters replaced I'm starting to wonder when Heroes Reborn II is going to come out and bring them back?

[Reece]

Bummer, I was looking forward to picking up the next Goon Library Edition this week, but I can be patient. I saw it pop up on CGN, so I thought IST would have it too. I avoid buying from CGN if possible.

[The Lion's Share]

Yes his partnership with Maleev is great. Not interested in international only the invincible.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

You might check IST again for the Goon LB 4. Rumor has it added late today.

[Reece]

I did a search on IST and it popped up as available. It's not listed on the front page as a new release however. I'll be picking that up today. Not sure about the Clone Saga Omni. I've heard mixed reviews.

[Jesse]

Just ordered Hawkeye OHC Vol 3 on IST for $18. That's half of what its up for on Amazon. Stoked.

[Donovan]

Nice one, Jesse. I just ordered Doctor Strange Omnibus Vol 1 and Deadly Class Deluxe Book 1. Very excited for both!

[Ronny]

Deadly class sounds interesting i've been looking at that deluxe edition for some time now. Maybe i Should but an order in on it, i just ordered the Thor: god of thunder OHC vol 1 and 2 by aaron and the JL - darkseid war pt 2 HC Yesterday though.. and just received the onslaught omnibus and the operation: zero tolerance OHC today and waiting for the Uncanny x-men vol 2 omni reprint to be released in Europe.. so maybe next month :)

[Donovan]

Haha. Everything in due time. I was on the fence about getting the omnibus but I popped on it. I've only read volume 1 but I really enjoyed it, especially the artwork. There's a review of the omnibus on YouTube and it looks spectacular.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Due today via IST:

The Fade Out Deluxe
The Goon Library Edition 4
DC Universe by Neil Gaiman DLX
Neil Gaiman Troll Bridge HC
Terminal City Library Edition
Transformers IDW Collection Phase 2, vol 4 HC
Wonder Woman Golden Age Omnibus vol 1

[Relstuart, Mod+]

If anyone picks up the Terminal City Library Edition, I'd be interested to hear their thoughts on it.

I ordered The Fade Out, Drifter TPB 1&2 and the final Waid Daredevil OHC today.

No Goon 4. Not sure what is up with that.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Ordered fade out and absolute haunted knight. Was hoping Shang chi was in by now...

[Donovan]

Glad I waited on the Goon Volume 4 then...

[Camilo]

Just ordered at IST:

Fade Out DLX
Thor HC vol 3?
Absolute Green Lantern/Green Arrow

[Relstuart, Mod+]

The Shang Chi variant is supposed to be on IST 1 Nov per IST. It's probably worth checking every week though just in case it is early.

The three Sale/Loeb Batman Absolute volumes look good next to each other. :)

I still have the Absolute Green Lantern/Arrow on my wish list.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Per IST, they should be getting a new order of Goon 4 Library edition in one to two weeks and will reactivate the book for sale once that happens.

[Ronny]

Today i just received these books from my Danish online comic pusher

Saga deluxe
Thor: god of thunder vol 1 OHC
Thor: god of thunder vol 2 OHC
Justice league darkseid war part 2 HC
Papir girls 1 tp
Gotham central omnibus
And new avengers by bendis omnibus

Cant wait to dig in to all this amazing material i have heard so many great things about :)

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Sounds like a nice haul Ronny. :) I really enjoyed the Bendis New Avengers run and Aaron's God of Thunder Thor run.

[Ronny]

Thanks..!
I have Uncanny x-men omnibus 2 & 3 coming up in a week or 2 as well along with a couple of other smaller tpb.
I actually had the new avengers omnibus in my shopping basket for awhile and I had a hard time deciding if I actually wanted it - I've heard different things about it.
But price dropped a bit and I decided to order it. And hopefully I won't regret it.. but it looks good on the shelf so far..

[The Lion's Share]

Add your photos to the photo section.

[Ronny]

Photo of haul has been added to the photo Gallery section :)

[The Lion's Share]

Just ordered Fade out Deluxe. Still waiting on my Locke and Key v3. They've delayed it twice now.

[Donovan]

That Fade Out Deluxe looks really nice. Been wanting to check it out for a while...

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Cheese wrote: "Just ordered Fade out Deluxe. Still waiting on my Locke and Key v3. They've delayed it twice now."


I think Locke and Key Master Edition 3 is supposed to drop this week on IST. I think I'm in the "I'll believe it when I see it mode" now. :)

[Reece]

Came in the mail today:
Green Lantern Omnibus 1 by Geoff Johns
Uncanny X-Men Omnibus 2
Fade-Out Deluxe

Looking forward to getting into the GL Omnibus you've all spoken so highly about.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice variety and top quality stuff.

[Donovan]

Just got Doc Strange Omnibus and Deadly Class Deluxe in the mail. Beautiful books!

[Dustin]

I also have Locke and key v3 ordered; amazon.ca says 1 nov release

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Donovan wrote: "Just got Doc Strange Omnibus and Deadly Class Deluxe in the mail. Beautiful books!"

I was very pleased with Deadly Class (both in story and the physical book). I wish V2 would come out sooner rather than later.

[Fluffyroundabout]

Hey guys I ordered the new x-men omni and the superior spider man vol.2 OHC 4 and a half weeks ago and they still haven't come. Now I live in Ireland and they're coming from Instock trades in America but 4 and a half weeks!? If I email them about this will they send another batch or what? Thanks

[Donovan]

Wow you ordered Morrison's New X-Men? That's a big book. Not sure for Ireland. Sometimes takes two weeks for continental US though...

[Fluffyroundabout]

Donovan wrote: "Wow you ordered Morrison's New X-Men? That's a big book. Not sure for Ireland. Sometimes takes two weeks for continental US though..."

Yeah believe it or not it actually ends up the same price if I was to buy it from bookdepository once I buy something as well. Except if I'd ordered it from book depository I'd have it now

[Lee]

Hi Fluffy. I have ordered a few things from IST to the UK (England) and they do take an absolute AGE to arrive. Having said that, the packaging is beyond amazing and the price is, as you said, often the same or less than other (more local) sites.
