When did auction end?

[Blindzider, Moderator]

It's only been a couple days. I know I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can ask for a refund. I'll give them until next week because of the holiday before sending a message to see what is going on.

[Erik, Moderator]

I keep all my auction items at my office and often end auctions on Friday evening, so don’t get around to shipping until Min or Tues

Ha! I do the exact same thing! I've got a locked filing cabinet full of books I'm selling. My co-workers think I'm crazy.

[Paul]

It was an expensive October/November for me! No further purchases planned until January unless I find deals on my huge backlog of books to buy! For the last several weeks I picked up:

Thor by Simonson Omnibus
Punisher by Ennis Omnibus
Planet Hulk Omnibus

Absolute Authority Vol.1
Aquaman Atlantis Chronicles Dlx Edition
Batman Hush Dlx Edition
Batman & Robin by Tomasi Omnibus

Ended up passing on Darkseid War Saga, Paper Girls Dlx Vol.1, Green Valley and Akira. I'm really temped by Akira, but I just don't have the space and I've reserved my last big shelf space for the Infinity Box Set coming next year. Maybe I'll wait for the 40th anniversary edition? ;)

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Holy crap that's a lot in two months!

[Dustin]

Just received akira 35th box so heavy and fatale v2

[Erik, Moderator]

Looking to add some miracleman to the shelf. Anyone care to weigh in on hardcovers for this series?

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I believe the only hardcovers are standard size from Eclipse comics and they are very expensive.

I'm personally just waiting for the new Omnibus, however, they've been slow to release the "new" works from Gaiman that apparently finishes out the story. Once those are done we may finally see it, but I think most new readers don't really care about the book.

Then, if they actually do the omnibus, there's the question of whether they will print the original version with the old coloring and unedited, or the newer one with digitized coloring and some panels modified to meet the Disney/Marvel rules.

What Disney/Marvel rules?

[Erik, Moderator]

“Waiting for the new omnibus”. But none has been announced correct?

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Saugata, here are some articles detailing some of the changes that were made for language and nudity:

Correct, as far as I know. With all of the problems in printing the new issues (polybagging some, upping the rating on others because of content) it makes me wonder how they will do a print version. I suspect a "mature" version and a "clean" version at best. Doubt we'll see an "original/mature" version either. At worst, probably just the clean one released, then once everyone buys it because they think that will be it, they'll print an original version one. I guess even worse is no omnibus at all, because I think sales on the new issues have been very low.

Here's an article about the delays of just getting the new issues out.

[Nickviola]

Most importantly, hope everybody in the States has a good Thanksgiving!

Secondly, Akira 35 boxset Book 2 has a printing error, pages 57-71 are duplicated right after one another. Anyone else notice that too? Otherwise it’s brilliant and I’m flying through it. It surprised me that after just a few pages I was reading right to left without any extra effort.

[Firestorm]

Does anybody know of any good Cyber Monday Deals for Marvel?

[Nickviola]

A few months ago I got the Panini Press (Italian) versions of Claremont/Lee X-Men Omnis 1 & 2 for about 30% of the price of the US versions and was pleasantly surprised that the covers matched better and instead of glossy black there was a matte black that looked much better.

So, I found a bundle and pooled the trigger on eBay and for less than the cost of a US version of The Eternals, I got the Panini version of it plus 2 other Panini omnis (that I think don't even have US equivalent) - Namor by John Bryne and Warlock by Thomas/Kane/Starlin. Super happy with them - here are some photos:

[Ooh_jim]

Nice finds! What's the contents of the Warlock omni?

[Blindzider, Moderator]

I always wondered if Marvel would do the Byrne Namor issues. That's when Jae Lee first started to become popular.

[Nickviola]

Thanks! Some of the panini books are still in stock actually for like 35 euro, problem is panini doesn’t ship to US. Usually a copy or two on eBay without the markups we are in the US.

I’ll check the warlock issues and get back to you.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Happy to say that my Astro City HC that I bought on ebay arrived. It's in excellent condition and I believe I only need one more HC and I'll have the entire run.

I also was finally able to buy the Mark Waid Fantastic Four OHCs on ebay for a reasonable price. Sadly, I only won V1 and V3. Not sure I'll be able to find V2 for the same price. It wouldn't surprise me if Marvel finally prints an Omnibus of this now that I've bought the OHCs.

[Nickviola]

Take a picture of the Astro City HCs when you can, I’d love to see them all.

Warlock contains:
Marvel Premiere 1-2, Warlock 1-15, Incredible Hulk 176-178, Strange Tales 178-181, Marvel Team-Up 55, Avengers Annual 7, Marvel Two-In-One Annual 2

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Will do!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

Very light release week this week. Next week will make up for it though.

We should see -
I Hate Fairyland HC vol 1
Captain America by Waid and Garney omnibus
X-Men Classic Omnibus
Doctor Strange by Aaron OHC vol 1
Batman Noir Court of Owls HC
Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus
Justice League of America The Detroit Era Omnibus
Shazam New Beginning 30th Anniversary HC (standard size?)
Watchmen The Annotated Edition HC

[David]

I just received the Deluxe edition of The Atlantis Chronicles by Peter David and Esteban Maroto... Beautiful book...

[Jesse]

Any insight on the Guardians of the Galaxy by Abnett and Lanning Omnibus? Good book, story, art?

[Ooh_jim]

DnA Guardians is a great run - for me, its easily the best GOTG title. The one problem with that book though, is that the story is only a small part of the larger story Abnett & Lanning were telling. If you don't mind spending a bit more cash, I'd advise skipping the Guardians omni in favor of getting Annihilation Conquest, Road to War of Kings, War of Kings & War of Kings aftermath omnis. Together, those four contain the entire contents of the GOTG omni, plus the larger context of the 00's cosmic saga. Then, once they eventually reprint Annihilation -or if you bite the bullet and grab one of the ridiculously overpriced copies- you'll have the complete 5-book set of the Abnett & Lanning run.

Wow! Thanks!

[Relstuart, Mod+]

It is a pretty good run. I actually liked their Nova run going on at the same time perhaps slightly better. No omnibus for that book but a complete collection was just in the solicits and it is included in the other omnibus volumes Ooj_Jim listed. :)

I did a custom bind of just their Nova run before all the omnibus editions came out.

Yeah, i added the whole run @Ooh_Jim was referring to to my reading list. Apparently book 1 is going to be the difficult (see: expensive) part to find.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

For those interested, I've posted pics of my Astro City HC collection.

The series was published by Image/Wildstorm, then DC/Wildstorm, then DC/Vertigo.

https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...

Here are all the ones from the before Vertigo. I am missing the Local Heroes HC and there is a Confessions HC from before Vertigo.

https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...

And here are the ones from when they moved to Vertigo. The original Confessions is hard to find so they reprinted it, but with the new trade dress.

I't been a long time but I read a friend's copy of Tarnished Angel and remember it being really good. Thanks for the pictures!

[The Lion's Share]

Those original hc’s are badass.

[Nickviola]

My first original artwork: a page from Michel Fiffe's Captain Victory...

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Nice! I keep thinking about getting into original artwork but never do....

[Relstuart, Mod+]

That is a pretty cool art page. :)

[Nickviola]

Thanks! I love it! Very Kirby-esque with the big 4 panels, the fist coming out of the page on the top left, and the tech in the bottom left panel.

[Blindzider, Moderator]

Ordered the Waid/Garney Captain America Omnibus and went ahead and got the X-Men Classic Ominbus.

[Erik, Moderator]

From what I remember about x-men classic, it was just reprints of uncanny x-men with a few extra panels. If this is correct, I don’t think I can pull the trigger since I have Uncanny Vol 1-3 already.

Anyone care to change my mind?

The original series was what you find in the X-Men Omnibus V1 and V2, but in the single issues of "Classic X-Men" they had back-up stories as well the reprints. I don't remember how many pages but it was more than a few panels. Some of these expanded/changed what happened in the original issues. I've read these but cannot remember much about them. I hope I don't regret buying it...

[Nickviola]

If I remember correctly, the backups were 4-6 pages that introduced new dialogue or outlined what other members were doing. I dont know what the actual makeup of this is going to be or how they are going to connect the dots so its not just a series of random interactions. That said, some of my favorite things about the X-Men are the relationships and moments between the action, and thats a lot of what the back-ups are. (this is all by memory)

As for this week, picked up Classic, Cap, and Fourth World - are you kidding me?? 1500 pages of Jack Kirby. I may cuddle that book when I go to sleep the first few nights after it arrives. ... And thats all the buying I am doing in 2017!

[Erik, Moderator]

Yes, Cap and 4th world are an easy yes

That's a beaut! Get it framed.

Wait a minute.... WAIT A MUNITE....

X-Men Classic is not a X-Men series different than Clearmont Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 and 2 ? Classic has the same comics issues with just some back ups added ? Is this correct ?

Sorry, I just confused everything.

Classic X-Men was a series in the 80's/90's that reprinted issues #94 and up of Uncanny X-Men. This is the beginning of the Claremont era. In those monthly issues, they had backup stories that expanded upon those original issues of Uncanny. So in theory, you would read issue #94, then read the back-up story which would add details or tell what else was going on at the time, 'filling in the gaps' between the stories.

The X-Men Classic Omnibus, which just came out, reprints those backup stories, with notes and text on what changed and why. Think of it as a companion to the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus V1 and V2.

Oh, ok, i thought i just double dipped and got the same issues in Uncanny X-Men in The Classic Omnibus for a moment... Thanks for the explanation.

Now, i'm glad that i got the X-Men Classic Omni today. :)

[Erik, Moderator]

Well that does change things. If it's just the back up stories then it is a companion omnibus to Vol. 1.

Once someone receives theirs, pls confirm and I may just get one!!

Look at the backcover:

That back cover looks pretty good. I do wish the spine was black like the Uncanny X-Force books are.

Just got Darth Vader Omnibus. :D

That was definitely my favorite of the new Star Wars books.
