I'll check those out, thanks!

[Paul]

Recently picked up:
- The Sword Complete Collected Dlx Hardcover (I really enjoyed Luna's Alex+Ada, so hoping the same for this...this book is huge!)
- Batman/TMNT HC (read good things on this crossover)
- Deathnote Black Editions 2-6 TPBs (first manga I've read and it's awesome!)
- Invincible Ultimate Collection 4 & 9 (still need 10 & 11 to catch up)
- Kill Them All, and Rock Candy Mountain Vol 1 TPBs (because I loved the humor from Sexcastle)
- Tomb Archives Vol. 2
- Batwoman by Rucka TPB

Expecting a number of pre-orders this month...but everything is released late in the UK! Absolute Authority 1, WWH Omni, Luthor Strode, Simonson's Thor, Hellboy in Hell, Power Rangers Year One Dlx, Green Valley & Ghostbusters Book 3. I chose to skip the Darkseid War Omni for now.

Ouch, my wallet. November is going to be just as expensive.

That's quite a bit! Is that Deathnote series what the Netflix series is based on?

I highly recommend Authority. "Widescreen action" is a good way to describe it, plus some "out of the box" ideas with the stories.

[Paul]

I believe the series is based on the manga. My buddy is a big manga fan and has been pushing me to try it. It's another imposing world of reading and I'm timid to jump in; there so much. Sort of stayed away from valiant for that reason...another world of narratives and no time space or money to get involved ;)

I think I'll finish off Deathnote and some other complete stories like Akira.

[Ozan]

Yeah, The netflix Death Note film is a Death Note manga adaptation. I haven't watched it yet but everyone says it's bad. The manga and anime are great though.

[gxvault]

Akira is AWESOME!

The Netflix adaptation was terrible. Stick to reading the manga.

[The Lion's Share]

Guys I need to recommend my American friend some comics. What sites do you use to buy in the US?

[Nickviola]

Instocktrades or Amazon is all I use.

[The Lion's Share]

Cool, any others let me know.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Instocktrades.com for me. I've occasionally purchased from cheapgraphicnovels.com.

[gxvault]

What's up with Thor omnibus release? Is it already sold out (lol) no one's having him in stock...it was the same with punisher omnibus (ennis) is it a market strategy?

[guanaeps]

IST has both of the new Thor Omni's and the Garth Ennis Punisher omnibus, but I see you're not from the US, so I don't know.

Just got the Walt Simonson Thor omnibus.

Really thirsting over the JLI omni and that Akira boxset; we'll see if either happens.

[Donovan]

@Cheese IST and eBay

[gxvault]

Yeah I have limitations since I'm in Europe...the akira boxset looks promising, I do have all the books already but I might have to pick it up since it's one of my favorite stories.

I'm stalking ferociously all amazon accounts in search of the Thor omnibus I hope it gets "released" as soon as possible...

[Karsten]

The Akira Box goes on my wishlist. I have the colored issues from the 90s (Germany) in my possession, but this box is alluring.

Oktober in hardcover for me so far is: Hellboy in Hell, Marvel Zomnibus, BPRD 1946-48, Fables 10-12, Punisher Ennis Omnibus, and hopefully Valiants Bloodshot Deluxe #1, if the local bookstore really has access to one late copy if it, as promised.

[Donovan]

Nice. I just received Dark Knight Master Race HC and Swamp Thing Bronze Age Omnibus in the mail. This thing is a phone book!

[gxvault]

Bloodshot 🙀 very nice, I hope you can get it!!!

I know it's off topic but any Europeans can help me find a website site were I can buy some quality Marvel posters ?

I used to buy from cheapgraphicnovels.com all the time, but the last six months or so they have had a problem with having books in stock, even the week of release, so I have switched to IST. IST is also better on postage, as I've been upgraded to either free FedEx ground or just pay $2-3. Also haven't had any problems with them being out of stock.

The Swamp Thing book is nice! Just missing a few Bronze Age comics, but I'll take what I can get.

[Nickviola]

Low OHC standard cover out today, picked that up. Also finally got around to X-O Manowar DLX 4 because cookies look low on Amazon which usually means about to sell out. Finally, Hellboy in a Hell LE. After finishing LE 5 and 6, I can make an argument those are 2 of my favorite hardcovers and the Hellboy LE in general are maybe my favorite set of books. The small vignettes ultimately come together with some bigger stories and make an epic mythology that I can see being examined for generations as a mixing pot of world mythologies.

[Paul]

Luther Strode arrived today. Really nice design on the covers and another well done Image deluxe edition. I'm loving how all the Image Dlx editions look seamless on the shelf.

[Donovan]

Nice! Can’t wait for mine :D

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I've temporarily moved all of my hardcovers to one place, while I renovate my man cave.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Nice picture and great collection. :)

Thanks!

[Nickviola]

Captain Britain and Hickman's FF1 always look so sexy on a shelf! Really nice collection!

[Ozan]

Great collection. :D

[gxvault]

Can't see it :(

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Thanks everyone! When I use my phone with the app sometimes the pics don't appear for me. It's in the photo section for the group but I don't think there's a way to get there through the app.

[Donovan]

Damn nice collection, B.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Mad Tom wrote: "Damn nice collection, B."

Thanks MT. Someday I hope to actually read it all.

[Donovan]

Mine’s still small enough that I’ve read it all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Beautiful collection. Seeing it reminds me I need to finish that Preacher set and my Invincible Ultimate Collections.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Thanks! Regarding invincible I still haven't read any of them. I really need to start so I can decide if I want to keep getting them.

[Jesse]

Invincible is absolutely one of my favorites. Takes a bit to get going but then it's just violent superhero fun.

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Top three books or series per bookcase? :P

Someone asked me that question about one of my bookcases the other day. (My answer for the bookcase in question was Parker, Fear Agent, and New Frontier).

[gxvault]

Haha! Now I can see, Blind pretty awesome collection man!!!

Wow, that's tough. I'm going to go with:
Marvel "Classic" Omnibus:
Amazing Spider-Man
Uncanny X-Men
Fantastic Four

Marvel "Modern" Omnibus:
Hickman Fantastic Four
Brubaker Captain America
Fraction Hawkeye

DC. This is really hard, there are so many:
Absolute Watchmen
Absolute Top Ten
Johns' Green Lantern

Independent (again, difficult):
Fear Agent
Criminal
Deadly Class

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Nice! It is a tough question and I was lucky my shelf was one of the small ones.

[Paul]

Nice shelves Blindzider!!

Just received Absolute authority; I love when they ship Absolutes in the exact fitting boxes made for the book. Always arrives in mint condition.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Have you read it yet/before? Curious what people think of it.

[Paul]

Not yet. Almost tempted to wait until (hopefully) the second Absolute is reprinted.

[Donovan]

Big release day!

I received Luthor Strode in the mail and the production quality is incredible.

[Jesse]

Image knows how to produce those deluxe books!

[XenofoneX]

Dark Horse does an excellent job with OHC's as well, and it's great that they've finally published a recolored, unofficial Geof Darrow Library, with the uniform style & format, cloth spines, great paper, good binding.

Dave Stewart did an amazing job on Hard Boiled & The Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot; there's 5-10-times the coloring work of your average comic crammed into the 200 pages between both of those books. Hard Boiled is still one of the top 5 visual masterworks in the medium's history, and it gets over-looked sometimes... I still can't believe it took 25 years for a revised edition/reprint. Lead Poisoning: The Pencil Art of Geof Darrow was great as well, though I would really like to see a huge retrospective collection of his pencil, ink and colored work, but I can't complain now that there's a matching 5-volume Geof Darrow series of OHC's. Actually, I CAN still complain: 10" x 14" or 12" x 16" would've been appropriate, given the intricacy of the art... but 9" x 12" is fine, I guess.

This is a great month for new releases.

The Prince Valiant: Studio Edition finally dropped, after 2 years of rolled-back release dates. It's arriving tomorrow, and I haven't looked forward to a book more in years.


Chris Ware - Monograph is a 280 page art-book published by Rizzoli, a first for comic art, and it's 13 x 18.5-inches. It's too awesome for hyperbole.


Another Oct. release is 'The Art of Mondo', which I haven't been able to put down. It's a super-high-quality hardcover, and a massive 9.5 x 13-inch, 360-page slab of the coolest film poster art ever produced. I wrote an embarrassingly enthusiastic review about it, rambling and image-posting my way over the maximum character allotment.


And there's still the Akira boxed-set, the Hellboy in Hell Library Edition, and the ultra-deluxe hardcover from Fantagraphics collecting every Robert Williams oil painting, from the mid-60's to 2017, as well as collected drawings & underground cartoons from 'Zap!'


Also, this:

It's an XXL, super-deluxe history of Dinosaur Art.

[Nickviola]

I have never read Manga, I know of Akira and its importance, I am thinking about finally pulling the trigger with the Box Set... My understanding is (a) its a box that inside has (b) 6 hardcovers and an extra art book and this is (c) the first hardcover combined release in the original black and white and original right to left?

So questions are: (1) Does anyone have a link to what it will actually look like in the box? Seems like most posts about it show the 30th anniversary softcover box as a reference. (2) Is this worth it with the assumed 50% off?

Thanks!
