Aildiin | 130 comments HellBoy library edition volume 2 arrived in the mail today so I am going to read this next ( I already had 1, 3 and 6 that I had grabbed last Black Friday sale, now I can read 2-3 and then I will have to order 4-5 next).

No it was for the 15th only. If you bought $45 or more in a multi-pack gift cards you got $10 credit to your account. Limited supplies too.

I didn't realize there were that many volumes of hellboy. I think I've only read seeds of destruction and one more.

Your missing out. I think the series got better as it went on. Like the library editions too.

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
Maybe I'll give it another try. I've always liked Mignolia's art, just didn't get into the story (at the time.) I do like the Library editions as well.

Aaron Saylor | 58 comments Picked up Fall of the Mutants and Mutant Massacre OHCs this week through Amazon 3rd party. I'd been waiting and waiting and finally decided to go ahead and bite the bullet.


message 356: by Blindzider, Moderator (new)

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
Those are two that I would like to have.


message 357: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share I think BPRD is just as good if not better than Hellboy, because it's a full-length long story instead of small ones ever issue. The plague of frogs is really good. If you like Hellboy, they are a brilliant extension of the Universe. It's a bit like the Ghostbusters to me.

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Aaron, I need to pick up a copy of Mutant Massacre eventually. I have the Fall of the Mutants OHC. It's the first OHC I think of that should probably have been tagged as an omnibus. It's huge!

I've been busy with sports the last two nights so not a lot of progress on AoA companion. I did read the Blink 4 issue mini-series in it last night. It leads right into the Exiles issues. Maybe tonight I'll have more time to work on it. :)


message 359: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Just added the following

East of west year one HC
Lone wolf and cub omnibus v9
Dragonball v1

Another copy of Captain America omnibus volume 1 because it was like new and some idiot on eBay was selling it for £70 because he needed quick cash! I'll sell the other one and make a profit. :)

Picked up a copy of Squadron Supreme omnibus. They are pretty cheap and they are starting a new series with the title.

About half way thru Brubaker's Catwoman run. So far, I like his Marvel work a lot more than his DC work.


message 361: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Just got in:

Squadron Supreme Omni (picked up on Ebay - Rel. did u also?)
Marvel Comics Now Omni
Secret Invasion OHC
Acts Of Vengeance & Acts Of Vengeance Crossover Omni's.

Debating what to read next, still haven't finsished putting together the Cosmic run for a read, although I am close.


message 362: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Maybe try some image stuff.

Try invincible and saga. Two very talked about series.


message 363: by Aildiin (new)

Aildiin | 130 comments I wouldn't put those 2 series in the same categorie.
In my view Saga is miles ahead of Invincible.
It's a lot better written and the art is a tonn better...


message 364: by Jesse (new)

Jesse A (jaathey) | 332 comments Absolutely. I always thought Invincible was a disappointing series. Agree that Image is putting out super solid stuff right now though. East of West, Saga, and Southern Bastards are at the top!


message 365: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Yes, I have the Saga deluxe edition Vol. 1, and the East of West, deluxe edition.
Also, I have Fear Agent Vol. 1, which I have heard great things, and Absolute Y The Last Man vol. 1.
See, I have too many choices!! This is all from your recommendations, LOL...


message 366: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Frank you make me look like an amateur with your buying skillz ha ha ha. Well don. I congratulate you sir.

Yes the peeps are right about saga. I own it but like I always do I'm saving it till last. I suggest you try preacher or scalped instead if not saga.

Preacher is in my top 3.


message 367: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Disclaimer: Though I did read it about ten yes ago. It may have aged since.


message 368: by Aildiin (new)

Aildiin | 130 comments Some good pre-order deals on Amazon right now for DC items.
Scalped Deluxe vol 2 50% off.
Fables deluxe 11 49% off.
Multiversity deluxe hardcover 50% off.
Swamp thing by Scott Snyder deluxe 50% off.


message 369: by Sage (new)

Sage (thaczero) | 96 comments Preacher is good but a bit heavy. If you enjoy Ennis' humor and the grotesque definitely give it a shot. I read it and recognized the excellence in it, just didn't really enjoy it.

I am excited about the new Green Lantern Omni coming out this week. I've read quite a bit of the content but it was always so haphazardly assembled across different trades and HCs that reading it in one Omni has be excited.

Though I realize it's only Johns' stuff and that does bum me out a bit. At least I can read that in one stretch.


message 370: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Yeah preacher is hyper violent, that's part of the charm for me lol

GJ's done a good job on green lantern, I think I'd buy an aquaman omnibus as well, but not much else.


message 371: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Ordered Vol. 2 GL Omni (52% - off), and Fear Agent Vol. 2 Library edition, Fables Deluxe Vol.1, and Rat Girls Vol.1 TP.

Is there an omni for Preacher, or just regular HC volumes?


message 372: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share They did some OHC versions. There are 6 of them.


message 373: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Ordered Batman Gothic Deluxe and vol 2 Green Lantern by John omnibus. Great price with $50% off on IST. Just under $50. Of course, that means you need to buy a second book to get free shipping. :p

If you need something cheap check out the TBP Birthright vol 1 (or LOW by Remender).


message 374: by Blindzider, Moderator (new)

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
Sadly I can't afford GL V2 right now. Hopefully it won't sell out but I'll have to pay a little more later.


message 375: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Blindzider, hopefully things look up for you soon man.


message 376: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Ordered GL the day it came out, among three (above) other titles still waiting for them to pick and ship it.
IDT can be slow.
Blindizer, it won't sell out, you'll be able to get it on Ebay cheap also, in fact it's already on the site. Prices will come down in the next months, as they did with Vol. 1.


message 377: by Blindzider, Moderator (new)

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
Thanks guys. Since V1 is still available I would think V2 will last awhile too.


message 378: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share You've got loads tune BZ :)

I hadn't heard of The Contract with God trilogy. It does sound interesting. Please let me know what you think of it. :)


message 381: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Yeah I was reading up on the Eisner awards and looked into Will Eisner on Wikipedia. He coined the words 'graphic novel' and contract with God came up. Looks interesting. I'll keep you posted.


message 382: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Nice.
I purchased East of West also, of course still sealed, so much too read.
Are the Lone Wolf & Club volumes only in paperback??


message 383: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share Yeah most of my books are sealed and unread, I also have a lot to read.

Yes the lone wolf stuff is only in paperback at this stage.


message 384: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
I haven't read it yet but I picked up a copy of IDW's Wild Blue Yonder book. It's a futuristic tale where after mankind has destroyed most of the surface of the earth people have to live in the skies. I've heard good things and I'll report on how it is once I get to it. :)

Aildiin | 130 comments I read the floppies and liked it a lot !
It's very original and the art is pretty good.


message 386: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Finished off Wild Blue Yonder last night. It is a bit short but has good characterization of the main character with enough development of the other characters to make the story effective. It's a relatively simple tale told well with good art work.


message 387: by Aildiin (new)

Aildiin | 130 comments Got a bunch of stuff this last week.

- Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman vol 2
- Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol 2
- Justice League vol 6 : Injustice League
- Thor vol 2 : who holds the hammer ?


message 388: by Jesse (new)

Jesse A (jaathey) | 332 comments I recently got Joe R. Lansdale's volumes of Jonah Hex. One (Shadows west) is a pretty hefty bastard.

nice haul. F4 is brilliant.

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Nice. I like both of those omnibi. :)

I've never read Jonah Hex. I missed the movie too. I need to look that up on Netflix sometime.

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
I own more unread graphic novels in my collection right now than at any other time thanks to this group. :)

Currently unread I have:
John Bryne Fantastic Four omnibus 1 and 2
Squadron Supreme omnibus
John Carter of Mars omnibus
Ultimate Avengers omnibus
X-Men Endangered Species OHC
X-Men Messiah Complex OHC
John's Green Lantern omnibus 2

Blindzider | 3293 comments Mod
That would be the same for me, although I'm slowly working my way through them.

Unread for me:

Johns' Green Lantern V1
Annihilation Conquest (hoping to get/read Annihilation first)
East of West
Working on Iron Man by Michelinie and Romita Jr.

I have some stuff that is unopened by I've read them before. Mostly stuff I repurchased in Absolute.

Relstuart, what are you going to read next?


message 393: by Relstuart, Mod+ (new)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Either Squadron Supreme or Ultimate Avengers is next for me. I'll wait for a little bit before reading GI Joe. I think I'll let a couple volumes build up and then read thru them.

I find the shorter OHCs are usually easy for me to pick up because I know it won't take to long to read thru them. When you pick up one of the big ones I know I'm committed for a while. :)

Relstuart | 2964 comments Mod
Alistair, I feel much better about my list compared to yours. :D

Looks like you are ready for your Brubaker Cap read with all volumes on hand. Sleeper should be a complete story along with Sandman and Fear Agent volumes. Thor is huge and I feel like I remember it having a finish where you aren't left hanging.

Locke and Key is fantastic but you might want to move that one to the bottom of the list along with Fatale since there are other volumes yet to come for those.

What are you planning on reading next? :)


message 396: by The Lion's Share (last edited Aug 10, 2015 08:54AM) (new)

The Lion's Share I know. I'm taking my time, but it's difficult deciding what to read next. I think i'll read sleeper next.

Also i forgot to add Criminal deluxe v1 & 2.


message 397: by boymeetscomics (new)

boymeetscomics | 79 comments I've recently picked up all 3 volumes of the Flash omnibus by Geoff Johns at a local bookstore (which I will happily overpay and support). I never read any of Johns' stuff before. So I'm really excited and can't wait to read next.


message 398: by Frank (new)

Frank | 170 comments Guys I am so happy that I have seen your unread lists. Even though I have only started collecting a short time ago. Mostly everything is unread, aside from the trades that I bought. It is hard to contemplate reading the omnibus's that I have purchased without getting everything in some manner of order, as I am doing with the cosmic's.
When I get a chance I must take a picture of my shelves, I love all the pics for the group.


message 399: by The Lion's Share (new)

The Lion's Share And I left out daredevil ohc's v1-3 :D

It's great fun Frank having so much to look forward to reading.

- Invincible ultimate collection vol 1
