Amazon UK has been really slow to ship. But I finally got Planet Hulk and Punisher omnibuses. Also grabbed Batman Year One Dlx and Old Man Logan Dlx.

Nice. I really enjoyed Planet Hulk in OHC when I read it years ago. The omnibus seems to be selling pretty well as it is currently the top seller on IST.

I have Batman Year One and Old Man Logan by Millar. Both interesting takes on the character. :)

[Nickviola]

Nice pickups. I had to ignore the Hulk releases for financial reasons, but let me know what you think! I am almost done with Punisher and Ennis is a sick man and enjoys showing obese people killing by full body smothering, but it’s a lot of fun. Ennis’ always has the saddest but most entertaining side characters. I really hope Officer Soap makes it into the show even though that’d be a hard tone to nail on TV. I also like Dillon’s art more in this than Preacher.

[Donovan]

Nice hauls. Been waiting for Bronze Age Swampy to come out and order everything else.

[Dustin]

Got an excellent deal on a singned alias omni, xtatix omni and new xmen omni

[Donovan]

Woohoo!

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Did you then at a con or off evilbay?

[Dustin]

No from a canada fb omnibus group

Just got Batman Earth One HC Vol 1 for $7.99 shipped. Not too shabby.

[Nickviola]

So this may be old news to propel, but I though the Shadowman Deluxe wasn’t out yet because it got delayed. IST doesn’t seem to have it but Amazon does, so I ordered it expecting to say not in stock but it shipped and arrived next day - so it exists if anyone is interested it’s on other sites.

I other news, I got a “new” Brubaker Captain American Omni 1 off Amazon and it arrived definitely not new and with some scratches on the dust jacket. It was 95 bucks so considering keeping it but another “amazon marketplace description screw toy” story.

[Donovan]

I hate when sellers outright lie about the description. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Hope you're okay with the purchase price wise. Always a gamble right?

[Erik, Moderator]

The nice thing about Amazon though is they will refund you even if the third party won't. My first attempt at a brubaker cap Omni 1 was also an Amazon third party seller "like new". The book arrived with the dust jacket completely torn. Amazon took the book and issued a full refund. I still complained about the description and Amazon then gave me a $10 credit. I've been a prime member since they first offered the service more than a decade ago and have always thought their customer service is top notch.

[Nickviola]

You know whose to blame! Marvel! Just keep printing the damn books! Ha, I’ll probably just keep it, I the dust spine looks great and I’m not going to find a better version for 95 and don’t want to pay 150+ for new out of print books anymore. I’m probably just going to stick with IST for a while and focus on reading the stories I want to read and not being OCD about picking up all my whales. Thanks for the group therapy session!

[Erik, Moderator]

I made that IST decision about 8 months ago and have great books at half the price and more reading ahead of me that will take years.

[Donovan]

I do most of my new release OHCs buys on IST, some cheap used buys on eBay (knowing their imperfection), random buys on Hamilton Book, and TPBs in my LBS. Last time I bought a book from Amazon it was terribly packaged and damaged. IST is amazing with their packaging however.

Vol 1 or 2? I've had vol 1 for months.

[gxvault]

Ive been a amazon customer, mainly because I'm from Portugal and so we don't have that much online stores to buy because most of them are playing the "high shipping costs" game, so amazon gets most of my money...
And my Local comic book shop sells the omnibus for triple the price I can get online...
Ive been happy with my purchases on Amazon.

[Donovan]

Well that's good. 👍🏻

[Nickviola]

Sorry, Shadowman Deluxe 2 is out on Amazon but for whatever reason never saw it on IST.

[Firestorm]

MMW Iron Man 2.

It gets terrible reviews because it's not written by Jordan, so i'm avoiding it. I thought vol 1 was fantastic.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

I mailed off some books for custom binding today. I'm doing one as a Christmas gift for a friend. It will contain:
Starlight by Millar
Superior by Millar
Hedge Knight by G. R. R. Martin vol 1 thru 3
God Country by Donny Cates.

I'm titling it "Swords and Sci-Fi Anthology" with our last names at the bottom of the spine. :) It will be in dark green imitation leather with silver print.

I also sent two volumes of Captain America for binding. One will be the Standoff and Same Wilson taking over Cap and the second volume will be the Civil War II Cap bind. I'll be splitting up two Cap volumes for the lead up and Secret Empire story line that will complete Spenser's run on Cap. I'll be including some of the X-Men tie-ins along with Dr. Strange.

[Donovan]

Nice!

[gxvault]

Good friend!
I wish I had of those too :)

[Blindzider, Moderator]

After those last two cap volumes you need to show a picture of all of them together...

[Jesse]

I know this has been asked before (but I'm not keen on searching). When you do a custom bind do you have a page count limit or issue amount?

[Rob]

You shouldn't really bind more than 25 issues at a time.

[Donovan]

Just won BYO DLX (new edition) on eBay for $15 shipped. Also ordered Batman Harley and Ivy HC, Sebastian O Mystery Play DLX, and Batman/Flash The Button DLX, as well as picked up Doom Patrol Vol 1, Cave Carson Vol 1, and Royal City Vol 1 trades at my LBS.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice deal on BYO. I'll be curious what you think about The Button.

[Donovan]

I’m not holding my breath on King’s writing, but as a fan of Bats, Flash, and Watchmen, I have hopes.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

On the issue count query, usually the binder you use has a limit on the thickness they recommend/allow. Herring and Robinson has a max of 2 1/2 inches thick. I usually remove the staples, cut off the back cover, and other pages that are just adds. This slims down the size of the issues. I'm at just over 30 issues for the binds I'm doing right now though my high is over 40. I measure what will be the text block before I send it off to make sure I'm within the limits. I try to not to exceed the 2 inch mark by much if I can just because that would make the book pretty thick.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

There is a lot of stuff scheduled to come out tomorrow on IST (usually a week earlier than Amazon).

Deadpool World's Greatest OHC vol 2
World War Hulk Omnibus
Muppet Babies Omnibus (two covers)
Marvel Agents of Shield Season 4 Slipcased HC
Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu Omnibus vol 4 (two covers)
Thor by Walter Simonson omnibus reprint
Thor Heroes Return Omnibus vol 1

The Swamp Thing The Bronze Age Omnibus
Wonder Woman Rebirth DLX vol 1

Donald Duck HC vol 10
Donald Duck HC Boxed Set
Best of Archie Comics DLX vol 2
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers DLX HC Year One

Marvel needs to spread their books out a little bit better IMHO.

[Nickviola]

I think you left off 2 big ones (for me anyway): Hellboy in Hell Library Edition and Low OHC.

And yeah, Marvel has been bunching these releases lately. Seems like some of these could have been moved to November or even closer to the holidays, makes more sense for them to be bunched then. Anyway, I am essentially not getting the Hulk books for scheduling reasons.

Anyone able to comment on Thor Heroes Return ? I am not familiar with it at all and have heard mixed things so its not high on my list.

Tomorrow, I am finally catching up on me Hellboy LE's and getting 5, 6, and Hellboy in Hell, plus Low and Simonson's Thor [an unusually big hall because I sold off a lot of single issues on eBay recently].

[Relstuart, Mod+]

IST does show both the LOW, Luthor Strode Complete Collection, and Hellboy in Hell Library Edition coming out tomorrow.

However, Amazon has the Low HC coming 24 Oct. If that is accurate that means release has been bumped (17 Oct for IST?). Amazon is usually better at updating release dates versus IST in their coming soon section.

Amazon has Luther Strode Complete Collection HC coming on 17 Oct which may mean it is coming next week instead of tomorrow. We'll just have to see what actually drops tomorrow on IST. :)

I'm in for LOW if it is available. Also interested in World War Hulk and the final Shang-Chi volume. I feel like I need the other Hellboy Library Editions before I get the In Hell volume. I just have the first two currently.

[Nickviola]

Nice thing about the Hellboy Library Editions are that they are essentially kept in print and always at a very fair price considering the excellent quality so dont have to rush to buy

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Heroes return Thor is at my library and I was hoping to read that before the omnibus came out but that didn't happen. I'm in for Simonson Thor, Shang chi and Low but would love it if one of the Marvel ones were delayed a little.

[Donovan]

Nice update guys. I’m in for Swampy, Luthor Strode, and maybe LOW. Didn’t know when ST was gonna drop either.

[Ooh_jim]

I'm only waiting on Simonson's Thor out of those, but I've finally picked up a copy of Claremont & Miller's Wolverine Omni. So knowing my luck, that means they'll announce a reprint next week.

[Paul]

Great pickups everyone. Amazon UK is still shipping books weeks after release...not that I mind as I can spread out costs considering how releases have been bunched this season. Finally got hold of Punisher Omni by Ennis.

I felt like picking up some fun reads for October to get into the Halloween spirit: Locke & Key Vol.1 and Deathnote Black Edition 1 (my first ever manga).

Also grabbed: Batman Mad Love/Other Stories TPB, Batman Venom TPB, Batman/Ninja Turtles HC, and Tomb Raider Archives 2.

By the looks of Amazon UK's schedule, I should have Simonson's Thor, Absolute Authority 1, Hellboy in Hell LE and World War Hulk Omni early November! It will be nice when I'm back in the States eventually to get a release on release day!

[Blindzider, Moderator]

@Ooh_jim, that's a nice find! And we all thank you for spurning a reprint.

@Paul, I assume you are in the UK for work? How long will you be there?

That's right Blindzider, moved here for work just over 2 years ago. Exchanged New York City for London! If you ever need anything UK exclusive I'd be glad to help out!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

I just want to know who thought the Muppet Babies Omnibus needed two different covers. And why? :)

[Donovan]

Ha!

[gxvault]

Just received my Punisher BTW and Ennis omnibus

That's right Blindzider, mov..." Thanks for the offer. I've been to London a couple times and really enjoyed it. I hope to actually go to some comic shops there someday.

I'm curious if when reading Punisher BTW, if he actually comes off as a villain until the 80's when he became an anti-hero (which I guess is just a matter of perspective.)

I'd be interested to see what you think about Harley and Ivy; I've been considering it for a while since I love the Batman Animated Series art style (a favourite from my childhood)

[Nickviola]

Looks like Low has a DCBS variant this week which is ok but the main cover looks like a beautiful typical tocchini print so I’m waiting for that - on what looks like 10/17. Seems like Hellboy in Hell LE was also listed incorrectly on IST and will be out 10/17 as some of you predicted.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I went ahead and bought the LOW variant, Simonson Thor, and Shang Chi V4, Wilson variant.

Had a brief scare: loaded my cart, got distracted, went back and server was very slow. Worried my stuff was sold out or something but eventually everything worked.

[gxvault]

Blind I'll tell you as soon as I start reading it but I do think he started as a villain...

[gxvault]

Just loaded my feed on Instagram with a pic of the omnibus, every now and then something will pop up (statues and action figures too) for those who care.
