Wow, great gets. Especially Astonishing at a fair price (which I continue to have trouble finding) and Copra (which I love and collect single issues and the trades).

[Erik, Moderator]

I thought the valerian was yet to come out . . . Or am I thinking of a new edition?

Loved Clowes Patience. I have mine next to his complete eight ball (eightball looks so good on the shelf)

Nothing like a good clearout. Good buys mate!

Hey Erik, looks like Valerian Vol.1 comes out tomorrow in the states. It came out about a month ago in the UK. It's a large book (tall & wide) and has some great extra content at the start with commentary from the creators and Luc Besson.

Thanks Nick! The dustcover is a bit beat up but the book/spine were in good shape. I don't think I can afford what people want for a new or like new copy! Hope you find your copy soon!

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice pickups all around Paul! Looking forward to the pics.

[Donovan]

Nice haul, Paul!

[Donovan]

Just ordered:
All Star Batman HC Vol 1
Batman Death and the Maidens DLX HC
Batman Year 100 DLX HC
Batman Gothic DLX HC
Nameless DLX HC

Early birthday presents for myself : )

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I'm curious if you will like year 100 and Gothic.

[Donovan]

Gothic probably. 100 we'll see haha. The dystopian/fantasy sounds cool but the artwork looks...interesting. If I hate it I'll sell it. Just trying to build my Bat collection this year. Looking forward to finally getting BYO and Hush DLX HCs this year.

[gxvault]

Paul great buys!!
Since you're in Europe if your trying to sell something just "ring me" You may have something I want.

[Paul]

Nice Tom! I see you're starting that Batman deluxe collection you were taking about!

[Paul]

Sercapi Ill message you tomorrow! I'd rather help my fellow collectors on this forum than sell in the marketplace.

[gxvault]

;)

[Donovan]

Thanks, Paul. Yes I'm trying. Don't own enough in OHC!

Stan is the Man!

I made it my mission to meet him the last few years and got my picture with him. Anybody else met him yet? With his health deteriorating, he's already canceling numerous appearances.

Maybe. :)

Bought a used copy of Astro City: Shining Stars for a good price. Been slowly buying the early hardcovers when people aren't selling them for a ridiculous amount.

I decided that even if there is the eventual omnibus, I'm happy with the ones I have.

[Donovan]

Nice. Yeah not everything needs an omnibus.

[Fluffyroundabout]

This may not be the best place to ask this but it will affect what I may add to my collection later

Are they any green arrow runs that are real quality? I'd like to read the character, thanks!

[Donovan]

Only thing in its entirety I've read is Lemire's Green Arrow, which was pretty good with awesome artwork. There's an OHC that collects the whole three volumes from New 52.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I'd recommend:
Mike Grell's The Longbow Hunters - no oversized collection that I know of

Kevin Smith's Quiver - in absolute form

O'Neill's/Adams Green Lantern/Green Arrow - in absolute form. This is from the 70's lots of political stories which arrow is very liberal.

This isn't my favorite and not bad but is a modern version of his origin: Green Arrow Year One by Diggke/Jock. I believe it is in Deluxe hc.

[Donovan]

Oh yeah, Diggle/Jock is pretty good. Similar to the show. Thought the OHC was OOP though?

[Fluffyroundabout]

Nice thanks for the recommendations guys, I'll pick up lemires deluxe and Kevin smiths absolute, if that doesn't quench my thirst I'll get o Neil's/Adams green lantern/ green arrow and mike grells the longbow hunters. Great stuff thanks lads! I'm coming for you green arrow!

Lumberjanes HC Vol 03
Spider-Man By Michelinie And Larsen Omnibus HC

Plague of Frogs 1-3, BPRD 1946-48, and Hellboy Library Edition 1 all on the way.

Otherwise, spending freeze until July's Avengers and Dr. Strange Omnis, plus the Kirby FF Artist Edition.

I'll probably pick up the Goon LE and Star Wars OHC.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I think there's nothing coming out for me in June, maybe even July, so I might finally pick up an Artist Edition.

[gxvault]

July?hickman avengers omni...is it good?

[guanaeps]

Sercapi wrote: "July?hickman avengers omni...is it good?"

It'll be worth it, even for triple dippers like myself, because not only is it properly collecting his Avengers/New Avengers run from their beginnings all the way through infinity, but you also get some of Hickman's earliest work at marvel now in over-sized format, these comics being:

The Astonishing Tales shorts that involved Cannonball and Sunspot and Mojo, drawn by Nick Pitarra of Manhattan Projects. Definitely entertaining—Hickman even draws a few pages.

The other one is this strange deadpool/shang chi short. I think it may have been Hickman's first published story at Marvel. Hickman writing Deadpool.

Bummed that his Living Mummy short from Legion of Monsters Satana isn't collected. He drew all those pages and they're pretty amazing. Maybe this will be in the Vol 2. Omnibus? Please? One can dream.

If you're asking about the quality of the run then...yes, it is good. Very good.

[gxvault]

Nice!I'll probably get it, I'm hoping we'll get infinity omni version because I've read some really bad reviews about the quality of the paper.

I'm more into cosmic stuff and haven't following comics for so long, so I don't know if it's going to fit my taste.

haha...oh it'll fit your taste.

It may be an "Avengers" run, but this is cosmic level stuff through and through.

Oh yeah and Infinity is included in this upcoming omni––ok not the "entire" event, thats like 50+ issues of variant quality––but it will collect the entire Infinity OHC, which is what I think you were referring to.

[Nickviola]

I'm going to want to read that right away but don't have his FF1. Is it worth just reading or waiting until Avengers 2 comes out and I finally find that magical 100 dollar copy of FF1.

[gxvault]

Nice!Im sold in this one!

[Donovan]

Sounds like you got plenty to read! July looks like this for me:

AD After Death Book One
Tokyo Ghost DCBS variant
Other Side Special Edition
Kill or be killed V2

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Blindzider wrote: "I think there's nothing coming out for me in June, maybe even July, so I might finally pick up an Artist Edition."

You should look at a few of the Image books coming in July. Tokyo Ghost by Remender, Reborn by Millar and Capullo on art, and Green Valley. I'm not as familiar with Green Valley but I've heard good things and the art looks decent so I'm going to give it a shot.

Sept/Oct are both going to be expensive with multiple omnibus volumes I'll want to add to the library each month.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I forgot about Tokyo ghost. Any idea if the variant comes out the same week?

Yeah I've got multiple omnibus at the end of the year.

[guanaeps]

Nickviola wrote: "I'm going to want to read that right away but don't have his FF1. Is it worth just reading or waiting until Avengers 2 comes out and I finally find that magical 100 dollar copy of FF1."

haha idk man I would just read it if you want to; I absolutely understand the whole "read it in order" vibe, but yeah...that FF vol. 1 omni is hard to find, and then its ridiculously expensive when it is found.

But hey, miracles do happen, I'm about to post a pic of something I once thought as a laughable impossibility, so remain vigilant in your scoping of the ebays.

Anyway, to stay on topic, I have Absolute Y Vol. 3 this month, and then the hickman omni in that first week of July.

[Donovan]

@Blindzider No clue. Just saw it on Remender's Instagram feed. Don't really want it in a tan HC though. I'm also probably getting Reborn the following month as well.

Found the Death of Captain America Omnibus for an incredibly reasonable price––white whale that it is––on ebay, which completed the entire Brubaker run!

I was a few issues into The Trial of Captain America Omnibus, but now that its all collected, I think I'll start it over again and do a tighter, more focused read. Should be grand!

Nice one, my favourite series after preacher.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice find on the death of cap. I'm still searching for that one as well.

And nice pics! I see you have the original FF Omnibus before they settled on the new design.

[Donovan]

Great find!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Just to try to put Sep/Oct in perspective - Let's look at the month of Sep for just Absolutes and omnibus volumes (it is likely these dates are the book publisher release dates and the IST release date will be a week earlier. It's also possible a couple of these will get bumped a week or so one way or the other):

13 Sep 17 - Absolute Justice League Worlds Greatest Superheroes (Ross and Dini)
19 Sep 17 - Punisher: Back to the War omnibus (+variant)

19 Sep 17 - Planet Hulk Omnibus
26 Sep 17 - Absolute Justice League: Origin by Johns & Jim Lee
26 Sep 17 - Justice League Omnibus 1 by Giffen and Dematties

31 Oct 17 - House of Secrets omnibus


There are also 12 DLX books coming out these two months from DC and Marvel. Of the 26 books listed here, I would like to pick up 14 of them... I may need to look into pre-ordering some of them through DCBS (sister company of IST) and paying for them in advance.

I think they are set for release the same day but not sure. Irredeemable HC vol 4 comes out in July too. I think you were picking those up as well?


guanaeps, great pick up on the Captain America book! Love the shelves. You have some good stuff there to read once you are done with Cap. :)

[Donovan]

Yeah man, it's gonna be a great year for comics. Only planning on the New Teen Titans, Bronze Age Swamp Thing, and Batman and Robin Omnibuses. The OHCs are gonna kill me though.

[Nickviola]

Relstuart wrote: "Just to try to put Sep/Oct in perspective..."

Yeah, I am in for 10 of those. Yikes. DC is a total blindspot for me which has turned out to be a blessing because I have more than enough to buy between Marvel, Valiant, Image, and indies.
