Buyfag/Shelf/Purchase thread

I guess I missed the last one, but I really wanted to show off my haul this week.

What else did Sup Forums get? What's the shelf/box looking like now?

Did Supergirl get better or did you just buy it for the Variant? also how much did is the She-hulk #1?

Supergirl is getting better. She isn't as serious as she was and the high school melodrama is getting reigned in a bit for more superheroing.

And I overpayed a bit for the she-hulk. $230 for white pages. I know it goes up and down a lot, but I've been waiting to pull the trigger on it for a few months now.

Oh man OP wait till that user sees that you didn't use the template

it hasn't improved
Orlando is the worst Supergirl writer ever
nice She-Hulk though OP

>Paying $230 for something that costs like $2 on comixology

Fuuuuuuu.....

Yeah... I mean, comparatively, SG isn't bad as when it started, but it certainly isn't anything great. Thanks for the compliment about shulkie though, I'm happy as hell to get it.

Fuuuuuuuuu.....

Someone on Sup Forums that appreciates graded comics? I'm in shock! Got any other graded goodness? Nabbed that Supergirl cover as well, but had to go to a different lcs then I pull at. Apparently they were too stupid to see how popular an artgerm cover would be

Paying 230 for something that is real and physical and one of the best of its kind instead of 2 on digital nothing.

pretty bummed Supergirl hasn't improved maybe after rebirth it gets good. $230 is pretty alright, I almost bought the Silver Surfer #1 variant for 120 4-5 years ago when I was window shopping. Also isn't jungle fantasy just ero comic?

This is my little collection so far, though I'm getting a spider-woman 1 that I bought just for the cover in soon.

I hold off buying stuff for 3 months or longer when it's pricey to make sure I'll want it properly. The only thing that will make me regret buying she-hulk is if her price drops drastically. I haven't regretted anything I've bought following that system yet.

And I don't even know what the jungle fantasy is about, I just liked the progression of the four covers they had for issue 2.

Is JSA classified supposed to be rare or something same with WW rebirth?

>Paying $2 for something that costs like $0 on Sup Forums

Nice I prefer cbcs myself since the case damaging books incident with cgc a few years back. I also think cbcs has better customers service. I've only self submitted books, havnt bought graded yet.

Went to a one day convention nearby, I got 1973 Prez 1 and 3, Flash 163, Batman 666, and a polybagged issue of the story where Superman comes back from the dead.

Yeah, sometimes I worry about temperature and pressure on the cases. I try to keep them upright.

CBCS is nice and they do come cheaper, but in the event of my descendants having to sell my stuff, I want them to have an easier time of it.

Because this shit isn't going anywhere while I'm still alive.

>caring about comics

Fuuuuuuuu......

Saturday might have been a bad time for this, but maybe other folks got something good in the mail.

wew

That is a cute cover.

Did anybody here read any Queen and country?

yeah, classic spy thriller stuff, not bad

so much cheesecake

>no template again

Absolute Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello yadda yadda vol 1 arrived yesterday, I'm halfway through, this shit is so fucking good and it smells good as well.

you must be gay, he obviously bought for maximum cheesecake appeal

Wanted to get Usagi Yojimbo: Legends but none of the comic shops near me have it yet

I've never even heard of Template. Who writes it?

anons

What the fuck does that copypaste even look like? How hard is it so just go "post your shit you wanna show off lul"

This should go into the OP every time:

New list of things out next week:
comiclist.com/index.php/newreleases/next-week

Still seems pretty superfluous dude.

>paying $7.99 for cheap fap material

why? I always found it incredibly helpful. would never have found cheap-comics without it.

Are you literally autistic?

Recent...from 3 weeks ago now.

Next week going to drop a bunch on amazon

I got it for three. I was never planning on opening it, and with that drop off I probably would never have been tempted to anyway.

can someone buy a poorfag books :(

Thought about buying the Ultimates but then I remember that I refuse to give money to the current state of Marvel Comics.

thing is, if you don't vote with your dollar on what is good they will keep pushing squirrel girl comic, since those sell and get eisners. I'll support a good Marvel book, especially if it's pulling in lower numbers. It's my only Marvel comic I'm buying in floppies now though...and nothing announced has me interested. I am trade waiting this Astonishing X-men book though, it doesn't have low numbers so I won't buy floppies of it

Squirrel Girl is on my pull list.
;)

I hate you

squirrel girl will always do cause of schoolastic not sure why yo ucare so much about it

That is a lost I am willing to take.

>Drain and Sunstone

Wew

just using it as an example. Maybe I should have said America? whatever.

what can I say, I like sexy women. And Sana draws some of the sexiest. Actually, the dialog and writing was so bad in that book that I started to just skim the words, the visual story telling was enough to tell the story. Very well done on Sana's part

besides, isn't this a cheesecake purchase thread that OP started?

>besides, isn't this a cheesecake purchase thread that OP started?
not exclusively, no. post whatever you like.

Since OP started with his cheesecake comic collection I'll post my "shameful" shelf. This is my characterfaggotry in full splendor. The single issues are the Grell issues of which I'm missing the trades.

Also should be noted that I refuse to buy anything written by Kreisberg on principle alone.

why be ashamed of loving Green Arrow. He's one of the best written DC characters. I'm seriously jelouse of that collection. But, why no Green Arrow/Green Lantern? that series is one of the best GA series

I've got it. It's right behind the Kotobukiya GA statue, next to Year One and the Benjamin Percy signed issue. Sorry if it wasn't visible in the first photo.

Retard.

I recently read the Jeff Lemire Green Arrow book and loved it. In 20+ years of reading comics it is honestly the first Green Arrow book I've read. What is another Green Arrow book or two that's good?

Good job Satan.

what's your thoughts on the current GA run? I really like it, even though I know it is retredding a lot of the same ground that has been done before (like a lot of Rebirth). Stellar art too. And it seems like even if the story starts to dip for one run the next run always seems to fix it and get my hyped again.

The one you HAVE to start with is Longbow Hunters. It's what kicked of Mike Grell's run and is really fantastic. Then read the rest of Grell's run or read Green Lantern/Green Arrow if you like the Sup Forums side of GA (a right winger and left winger roaming the country is really great stuff). I liked Conner's Green Arrow, at least the first 3 trades, and hear Kevin Smith's GA is really great and may be the only really good book he wrote

If you loved it for the mysticism and weird island stuff my recommendations would be
>Year One
>The Longbow Hunters (since it introduces Shado)
>Here There Be Dragons
>Blood of the Dragon
>Quiver
If you liked it for Ollie as a character then
>Green Lantern/Green Arrow
>The Archer's Quest (one of my faves)
>Longbow Hunters (it's great desu)
>Year One (same)
>The entirety of Grell's run on the character

I know that's more than what you asked for but that's probably the best Ollie has out there, apart from the Lemire stuff.

Nice, thanks! I'll be paying a visit to my library.

I haven't read Lemire's run yet but GA without BC is only half a man. He's TOO much left wing and too much a loose cannon without her to ground him a bit.

I think it's great, but that's coming off from the Kreisberg issues and the pre-Rebirth Percy so I may have low expectations now. Especially like how he's tying all his run with one group of villains, love it when a run does that. This is the factor that I think makes one want to keep on reading, since the plot is all tied together and makes you invested enough to pick the next issue.

Still, like you said, it seems like it's doing the old one-two and that Percy's attempt at being a filthy liberal are not that good, which leaves Ollie at a weird spot.

Lemire's Ollie isn't very left-wingish. He tried to create mythos for the character and give Ollie some villains and better supporting cast, sacrificing some aspects of Ollie while doing so, is what I feel.

shut up joel

Im new and poor but i try to get comics with powergirl and dazzler in the cause they are my favorite.

Do you guys have anyother not too popular character i can be autistic over on my dollar dollar bi weekly comic buys

not enough studdering to be Joel

Who the fuck is Joel? Is there another GAfag in shelf threads?

Just one?

Aquaman.

a youtube comic reviewer. GAfag. He's pretty lame cause he like every fucking thing.

why should i be autistic over him user?, i also meant multiple but idk having multiple wit ha small buget would work

You want "not too popular"? Try New Super-man, Kenan is as not popular as you can get. Great book, if you have a tight budget his book comes out monthly, and it has great comedy, which I guess you like, judging by your taste in Power Girl and Harley Quinn.

is the book not selling well?
read the first 2 or 3 issues and really liked it

>CGC
Been thinking of sending some of my floppies up to be graded or buy some shit.

you like sexy women? Try Rogue.

it's the best book of Rebirth so obviously it sells the worst

uhh my comic shop place only really has pre 2016 stuff, never been into superman cause hes bland but ill read one totally legally online and see xoxo

I like females characters but not because of sex appeal but rouge does seem cool desu

I see you have an issue with Nico in it. That's a character I would like to collect.

Actually, one of my favorite female characters is Sara Pezzini. A lot of Witchblade is fantastic, I really loved the Marz and Sejic run that went on for I think nearly 10 years. It was great.

I need to grab me more witchblade

I always just try to catch them at cons. I get too nervous about doing the mailer.

nico was rly iconic to me in this series xoxo

get OUT!

Tiddies. Nice.

are there any apps out there for helping you with shelf limits so you don't accidentally put too much weight on a shelf? i know i'll get the obvious don't put too many heavy books on the same shelf

No, but you can probably look the books up on Amazon to get the weight.

The Bending Moment equation wouldn't do you any good because you have to calculate every book along the shelf to get the stress at every moment (calculus). A heavy book in the middle of a shelf will have much more impact than at the end of a shelf. So basically those calculations will be useless unless you do it all by hand and I don't think you want to be doing that.

Or are you talking wall hanging brackets? if so, the bracket's should have a weight/load printed for them.

>cause hes bland
YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU...

friend name something super unique and cool about him xoxo

you could say that about any super hero. and almost anything you've ever seen in super hero comics? he's done it first.

Hello.

i was going to buy a door cabinet from someone locally and put all my games, cds. tpbs, and some otherstuff on it and the link the seller sent to me that has all the info about it says the max shelf load is 30kg so i just wanted to lazily make sure in the future when i get enough to fill the shelf i didn't accidentally overload it

hes done it first but has he done anything unique and fun the past 20 years friend. Power girl is the only none boring superfam to me cause she barely associates with him

...

>has he done anything unique and fun the past 20 years
having a family. and it's absolute fun

>Power girl is the only none boring superfam to me cause she barely associates with him
like the primary reason isn't "tits", come on, don't lie to yourself.

ah, yeah well no calculator is going to be accurate cause you have to derive a formula for each segment between each anchoring and also for the weight of the books at ever section. And in that case you can't rearrange. Just push on it and see how much it seems to have strength for.

Door's don't need to carry much weight usually, so I wouldn't want to put much on that, unless you have some heavy ass hinges. Even then it's better to put the majority of the load close to the hinge.

t: someone going to build their own bookshelf this summer

that's only good for toys

How do you even exist here without knowing how to buy comics

>i don't even know what the jungle fantasy is.
riiiiiight

some people buy exclusively from local comic shops or amazon

im gay lol, and i love all her other ourfits from the 90s and 80s. Shes campy, smart, strong, doesnt want to be supermans sidekick, she has fun friends and teams. Her trying to set herself apart from the el family is whats so cool and endearing about her. Too bad shes been ruined for almost 6 years straight now being just supergirl now.

Look how unique she looks compared to all of them, and even if you covered the window with fabric shed still stick out compared to al lof them

...

>tfw don't wanna post my shelf since its still the same shit

I did win over $180 at a casino I'm at right now though so give me objectively good comics. No Batman

the incal

Any specific order I should read them in or can I just jump straight in?

>im gay lol
right

do you really think a straight male would be autistic over dazzler (80s), power girl and squirrel girl type shit lol

not the other user. but I can understand the appeal of Powergirl tits are just a nice bonus. especially if you just want a fun story.
